Company: FREEDOM FINANCIAL NETWORK (MD)

I enrolled about {$68000.00} in credit card debt with Freedom Debt Relief in XX/XX/XXXX. My monthly payment is {$1000.00} and I was told my debt would be settled by XX/XX/XXXX as long as I made all payments on time and did everything they asked. At that time I had not been late on credit card payments and nothing had been sent to collections nor were there any legal cases against me. I was told in order to proceed, I needed to stop paying all credit card bills, which I did. In order for them to successfully negotiate, I needed to be in default. I was also warned repeatedly that it's likely some companies will file legal complaints against me and that I should forward any information regarding that. As long as I did all of these things, my debt would settle and be paid off by XX/XX/XXXX, 4 years total for {$48000.00}. 

I have done everything they asked. I have missed no payments at all. I have been sued several times and there are several judgments against me. They told me this was normal. However, now suddenly my projected end date is XX/XX/XXXX. This will require a full {$12000.00} more to settle. Any time the end date has fluctuated, I have inquired only to be told that as long as I continue making payments regularly, I will be able to end the program on time. But most recently in an email, a customer service rep told me that because of legal proceedings, my end date is pushed out an additional year. Given that XXXX knew exactly what I would be paying every month, and those accounts have settled for what was expected, and lawsuits are also expected and representation is covered under the current agreement, I don't know why I would now be required to come up with an additional {$12000.00} over a year. I have done everything I was required to do. And XXXX can not give me any reasonable explanation as to why this would be. At this point I believe filing bankruptcy is my only option because extending the program is untenable for me. And I'm concerned the end date will continue to get pushed out. I need to stop the hemorrhaging. To get me to enroll debt and let them represent me, they have misrepresented the total cost despite me complying with all requirements of the program.

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC. ()

On XXXX XX/XX/2023, I receive a letter from HSBC informing me that the bank is exercising its right to close my bank account on XXXX XXXX XXXX, with no reasons provided. As I am an international customer, I only received the letter on XXXX XX/XX/2023. I had only 2 weeks to scramble my banking instructions so that there will not be any issues with account debits or credits after the account has been closed. 

I immediately prepared a letter on the same day to send back to HSBC 's address in New York. In the letter, I urged the bank to reconsider the account closure, as I am interested in continuing the banking relationship and could not think of any reasons why my account would be closed, and could provide reasons for all of my banking transactions. At the very least, in the letter, I stated that I would like a reason for the account closure. 

HSBC acknowledged my complaint in an email on XXXX XX/XX/2023. Unfortunately, they stated " Were unable to re-open your accounts or reconsider our decision. I regret were unable to assist on this matter further. '' I have not been able to get any information from customer service as well. 

I'm afraid HSBC has not " opened up a world of opportunity '' for me, and has in fact left me with lots of questions about how the bank manages the account of its clients. I certainly would be worried if the bank could just close any account it wishes to without any reasons provided, leaving customers scrambling for other options.
