Got a call to this business asking for an employee who is a frequent target of collections scams. As soon as they ask for him by his formal name, I hang up. Arguing with them and informing them that management does not allow employees to take calls from collectors is pointless.

So I simply end the call before it can become a problem. Since I implemented this policy, there have a been a lot fewer callbacks. Apparently telling them not to call has no effect, but hanging up on them without any conversation puts a stop to future calls. Go figure.

I just called blocked them. Called me at 8:15 in the morning.

These people call my cell phone 20 times in a 24 hour period. Leave no message.

call them back 20 times a day and say hey what up homey!   if everyone one would call them 20 times a day their phone will ring off the hook with calls, which can cost them 25 cents each.  put them out of business using their own tactics.  ask for wilbur the homossexual.

The call my work cell phone number at least 9 times a day, even on the weekends.  They continue to call even after I have informed them that it is a work number.

I agree, HSBC/Beneficial is the scum of the earth as far as creditors go.  I have already encouraged everyone I know not to do business with them, and I hope others will do the same.

By the way, HSBC is Bank of China. Not kidding, true.

Frustrating to say the least! The last one-machine picks up, the guysays "hello" then hangs up. Never a message. If I owe money to someone, give the courtesy of saying who you are!

HSBC Beneficial begins calling at 8:00 a.m. and about every hour to two hours until evening.  Payment has been made (did not ever reach a 30 day late) yet they continue their persistent harassment. They have started calling my work number as well and my boss is not amused!

I guess it's HSBC Beneficial and they call every 5 minutes all weekend no message!  Please they need to Stop!

Do not appreciate calls from these people - whoever they are!

I given up telling them to stop calling. Instead i repeatly call women callers c**ts and men c***suckers. Their still calling but i think they will soon remove my number from their list. The women get very offended... LOL

These people are real idots. We have told them and told them we are going through Debit Reduction and they have not quit calling. They call up to 25 times aday and each one wants to give us a better loan and cannot take no for an answer. I just wish they'd quit calling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

They say they beat me up if do not pay full amont now. I very scerd now.

These idiots call at all hours fromm numerous phone numbers. This is the newest one. Pakastain callers......HSBC  should be put out of business for harassing people the way they do.......Esp when you tell them your not intersted indoing business with them..insted they call 8 times a day 7 days a week.

Yep, they call our number, too...a zillion times a day!  Never leave a message on our machine either.  They were even calling all day long yesterday - JULY 4th!!!!

They called yesterday now 3 times this morning 3 times before 8:30A.M.. HFC Beneficial how do you block a number?

OMG!! I thought it was just me! These people are calling for someone else. I have told them repeatedly that they have the wrong number and they keep calling.
I said so and so doesn't live here and they said 'thank, we'll call back later' and hung up. WTF!! I called the phone company to block them.

Calls several times a day-all week, 7 days, but never leaves message on answering machine. I don't know if there is some law or something but others like GE DO leave a message. It is very frustrating and annoying!
Does anyone know if debt collectors are required to leave a message AND if the are supposed to call Monday thru Friday and only from 8AM to 9PM? I can not seem to get clarification on this. Also, if it is a business is it not REQUIRED that their name show up on caller ID? Curious to know these answers. TIA

Never knew who these peope where and they need to stop call because they are not in the picture and nee to stop calling. The money that is paid goes to the company that has the account.  Everybody tries to get in on the money business.  STOP CALLING ARE YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY A LAWYER!!!!!!!!

Just so you all are aware it's HFC Beneficial Customer Service. They run a predictive dialer system with call center software. If you do decide to answer the phone do what I do. Come on to them. say things like "mmmm you have a sexy voice" "what are you wearing?" "I'm touching myself" etc etc this will guarantee a hang up everytime and you will be feeling great!

calls constantly

This is most diffenantly HSBC,  I have a loan with them, and even when the payment is scheduled, they keep calling.

When they call all weekend, I do not understand how or why.  I tried to call back one time when I missed the call on a Sunday, and a recording came on and stated that it was after business hours and that I needed to call back during operating hours.  So, if they are closed why are they calling me?

The level of harrassing, no message calling has gotten to a point that I began logging down the date and time they call.  I recently wrote a letter to the Better Business Bureau providing all the info.  Hopefully this will make a difference.  Everyone should do the same, go to the BBB.org and search for business using the 1-800 that appears on your caller ID.  A list of HSBC and its subsidiaries will pop up.  I picked the mother company HSBC and filed my complaint.  If enough of us do it maybe this practice will cease.

Do these people have a secret system that detects when you make or answer a call??????  I Swear they call me right after i hang up the phone EVERY TIME!!!!  The federal government should look into this!

Keeps on calling me at home and office.

Folks, I have a loan w/ these goofballs, & I have told them repeatedly to call my Debt Resolution Atty, & they STILL call me multiple times dqaily!!  I USED TO WRITE DOWN EVERY TIME THEY CALLED(OVER 300 IN 2 MONTHS), but decided it wasn't worth the effort. I now just let thge calls go to my v/m, if they get that far. NEVER LEAVE A MESSAGE!!  GRRRRR!! If I didn't have caller ID, I would never pick up the damn phone for anyone!!  that's how bad these calls are!!
