Consumer complaint received 2020-06-04 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have opened a checking account in HSBC last year. According to the promotion, I should receive {$750.00} bonus as long as I make monthly direct deposits totaling at least {$5000.00} for 3 consecutive calendar months from the second calendar month after account opening.

I have completed the requirement, but I haven't received any bonus. I contacted HSBC dozens of times through phone call or online chat. One of the representatives confirmed that I had completed all requirement and he helped to create an investigation case ( case number : XXXX  ). But whenever I contact HSBC, they either told me no update on my case or gave me some ridiculous reason like I'm a trust customer which is not required for the offer, but I never have a trust account. 

I know since we're in a pandemic, progress could be slow. However, this issue has been lasting for over 6 months. I should receive the bonus even before the pandemic happened in the first place. I don't think I can receive this bonus after wasting so much time to deal with them. I transferred over XXXX XXXX asset to HSBC but I still don't get the respect. I feel this is a scam.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote a dispute lette

r to XXXX  & Equifax & Equifax credit bureau, asking for verification of a XXXX XXXX account thats being reported on my XXXX  & Equifax credit report per 609. Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ]. ( Verification Letter Attached ) The verification letter was sent certified mail and was received on XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX & Equifax. ( Delivery certification letter confirmation attacked ). On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter stating that XXXX  & Equifax investigation was complete. After reviewing the report, XXXX  & Equifax stated that Outcome : Remains. This item was not changed as a result of our processing of your dispute. ( XXXX report page 1 and 2 attached ) After reviewing my report, I did my own investigation and placed a call to XXXX XXXX to see if they had any information on me for this account. On XX/XX/XXXX I placed a call to XXXX  around XXXX XXXX and spoke with a representative name XXXX  ( AKA ) no employee number was given. He indicated that they have no information on this account, because they sold it to a third party on XX/XX/XXXX. After placing the call to XXXX XXXX, I knew that XXXX  & Equifax was in clear violation of the FCRA 609. Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ]. I am very concerned about the validity and accuracy of XXXX  & Equifax investigation, as this inaccurate item remains on my credit report, which is a clear violation of the FCRA. If XXXX  & Equifax had investigated properly, rather than using a e-Oscar   system, they would have known, that this account does not exist per XXXX XXXX, but XXXX  & Equifax claims to have verified this account was accurate. It is at this time that I will point out that in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain the reasons for my dispute is not reasonable.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX  Credit Reporting Bureau received my request for re-investigation of disputed information on XX/XX/2020 as provide by certified receipt. XXXX  failed to conduct a re investigation of my dispute and they failed to notify me of their decision to terminate a re-investigation ( if such a decision was made ) pursuant to Civil Code 1785.16. 

Upon my request for re-investigation of the disputed information pursuant to my letter to XXXX  dated XX/XX/2020, consumer law requires that they re-investigate and record the current status of the disputed information before the end of the 30th business day period beginning on the date they received such notice of the disputed item from me.

Since the end of the 30-business-day period has elapsed on XX/XX/2020, XXXX  must delete the inaccurate information immediately pursuant to Civil Code 1785.16 ( b ). Despite that I again notified XXXX  of the problem on XX/XX/2020, XXXX   continues to ignore my requests as if their modus operandi is to make it as difficult as possible to the consumer to remove inaccurate information. To date, XXXX  continues to report the inaccurate information on my consumer credit report from them.

Company: Ralis Services Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I called Owning Corporation at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on Wednesday, XX/XX/20 to inquire about a 30yr cash-out refinance. Phone conversation took place at XXXX PST for 3 minutes with an agent named XXXX . He asked me basic loan questions but the conversation didnt last long. When I stated my husband was self employed, XXXX told me ( not verbatim ) that due to everything happening with COVID, they were not accepting self employed applicants. He asked me if my husband owned 25 % + of the company, I answered yes. He then repeated what he said before and said they are only looking at applicants with W-2s. XXXX said he wasnt sure when they would open up to all. It could be a week from now or longer but said he would call me. The phone call ended with no interest rate quote or loan application. 
Im filing this complaint because Owning Corporation violated ECOA. We were not given an opportunity to apply for a refinance. We were blatantly discriminated against due to my husbands self employed status. We were prematurely turned away only because of his employment status.
