Hsbc sucks

The people at the top of this company are shameless liars and cheats. They have little criminal rat brains working all the time on ways to steal money from their 'customers'.
They tried to shift my checking account to a 'Premier' account knowing full well that would cost me $25/month in fees. Not only did I not ask for this, but I had to call them so this would not happen.
How many grannies or people not paying attention are now getting robbed of $25/month by HSBC? Scumbags.
Also they slow down bank to bank transfers on purpose to steal 4 to 5 days worth of interest from you. As we all know these transactions are near instantaneous, and at all other banks it takes only a day to get moved. Not at HSBC!

They are incredible clever crooks. I will never deal with them again.

i was paying a loan on a dirt bike and for three or four months we did not get the bill. I called 4 times to try and get a bill from them and they gave me a runaround. One day at 8 am someone was at my door to take the bike. I called to get it back and they added so many charges on it to just get it returned. I had the money to make the payment i was never late with them. And now they sold my bike and are asking me to pay full price for the bike

Let me count the ways:

- I signed a contract and found out later that it was with HSBC. They couldn't be honest enough to tell me that it was HSBC. What does it tell that they don't admit their own name?

- At first, after hassling me, they ALLOWED me to pay the monthly payments at their branch locations, IF I used a check, no cash.

- Their excuse for the previous was that my loan is through a different company that happens to have the same name, logo, and everything else. Hello!?

- THEN they have the nerve to tell me that THEY are doing me a FAVOR by allowing me to pay a loan, held by them, at their branch office.

- This was told to me by EVERY employee of the bank I talked to. Both in person at various branches and on the phone to their headquarters when I called to complain.

- After two years of paying in person, they suddenly inform me that I cannot pay in person under any circumstance.

- When I filed an insurance claim for $1000, the insurance company promptly sent me a check made out to me and HSBC. No problem there. HSBC refused to endorse it until I gave them a receipt stating that I had paid it out of my pocket. I paid it out of my pocket and sent the receipt and waited 3 WEEKS for them to endorse it and get it back to me.

- To cap it all off, they received $35 billion in taxpayer bailout money and they will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help me now that I am unemployed! All that I have asked is to be able to make some interest payments until I start working. Their answer is "NO." They would rather reposess the bike at a loss of several thousand dollars than earn a few extra months of interest payments. WHERE IS THE SENSE IN THAT!

- Then, to rub salt in my wounds, I have to listen to them tell me that they are a "hometown bank" every time I talk to them on the phone.
