HSBC A/c Holder : Capt Chandra Shekhar Gupta

HSBC S/B A/ Nos : 136 130 468 006

HSBC Branch : Indore MP India
I am an HSBC account holder since last 6 years. That time, the relationship
managers of HSBC Bank personally visited my place and were after me to open an
account with them. I was impressed by their services that time which included doing
all the paperwork at home. They promised me of similar services everytime.
But, I am sorry to say that all their promises have proved false now.
My account was opened with an Average Quarterly Balance (AQB) of INR 25,000 as
Fixed Deposit (FD). I was shocked to know recently that they have increased the AQB
to INR 300,000!!! Isn't it practically possible for any normal Middle-Class Blogger to keep such a big balance?
On top of that, if anybody fails to keep that much of balance, HSBC is charging
them INR 1,500 quarterly (INR 6,000 annually) + taxes. My point is if they had to
do this after few years, why did they approach me at all in the first place to open
an account with them? Their So Called Relationship Managers were fully aware of my
Preferences at the time of opening the account. Then, why didn't they inform me of
the changes in Bank's policies from time-to-time and why did they force me to open
the account with them in the first place ? Their So Called Relationship Managers Don't get any Commission in Closing Accounts They get 1% - 2.5% only for opening a New MF.
Also, HSBC's Relationship Managers forced me to open many Mutual Funds accounts
with them, which I now understand was just for their commission purposes as they
are not paying me any returns. They are also debiting my account since long time
without my permission.
To add insult to Injury, I was threatened by Low balance charges because the Back ffice automatically upgraded the account to HSBC advance without my knowledge in June 2010 (my premier account was downgraded to Normal account in May 2010).I want to close my account now which is again proving to be a Harrowing Experience.
They have suddenly turned Extremely Arrogant and Rude now.
Also their Branch in Indore has No Proper Parking Space for customers.
I don't like visitng their branch as first of all, it is so far (10 kms from my place). Also, they don't even have a parking facility !!! Moreover, who has the time now-a-days to travel so far and meet arrogant executives? The Whole customer experience proving to be horrible for me.
I am now determined to close my account with HSBC. I humbly request HSBC to reverse all my Charges and close all my Accounts and Mutual Funds with them asap. Every Day I am getting Phone Calls from their Customer Care and Asking same Questions again and again But No 1 is Calling Me with Solutions of Closing all mutual funds and Saving Accounts.
I Simply Needs Following
Close all my Mutual Funds Accounts with HSBC.
Close all my FD Bank Accounts with HSBC.
Close all my Saving Bank Accounts with HSBC.
Return All My Savings with HSBC.
If they don't listen to my Humble Request, the next level will be a complaint,
which I will do as per their procedure first, which is as follows:

HSBC India - Credit card overlimit fee
User kulimane
I had a credit card(master card) from HSBC. Its limit was 60000. By mistake once it
can crossed the limit (Rs 61000).
From the customer point of view
1) They should never allow overlimit.
2) Even if they allow, there is a huge fine(Rs 550 each month)
3) Fine does not end for one month. It again continues for the next month also
which is not correct.
4)On this end, I have canceled the card and decided to not to pay the fine amount.
5)This also leads to kind of mental torture .
I ask to seek compensation from the back regardign...

User Sachin Arora
This is regarding my recent conversation with HSBC's telecaller - Pooja, who called
me to pay up my pending installment for September 2006. This loan will be finished
by August 2010.
Earlier I had a talk with one of the CCE regarding this & she told me including
this pending installment this loan will be finished by august 2010. The payment has
already been adjusted with the end of loan. I have no problem answering any queries
from HSBC's side, but i am really feeling sad about the way the Lady interacted
with me.
She suddenly went out of the courtesy...

I was using a HSBC credit card issued to me on 30/06/2006.

I am a powervantage customer of HSBC. I called up HSBC phone banking on 15th June

internet banking where the system does not allow me to upgrade my limit for a non-

times without sucess. When asked to take down a complaint, he refused to register a
complaint and wanted me to send an email. When I wanted to speak to a senior
manager he put me on hold for...
Just look at their Auto Reply. They say that somebody from their side will respond
withing 2 working days which obviously doesn't happen. On top of it, if you contact
their call centre, the trained executives, who have mugged up their lines, tell you
to contact the branch. If you call the branch, obviously no body picks up the phone
and if anybody (by God's grace) does, they tell you to call up the customer care.
So, indeed you feel like a ping pong ball.
