They're Scammers. They'll try and get a $200.00 card activation from you and won't send you a credit card. They'll ask for your social security number, your address, your date of birth, your annual salary, your social security number and tell you you'll have a card in 10 days, just send us a check at some p.o. box for the initial card issuance fee and you'll get your card.

Most likely brokering for themselves and pocketing the money. They are totally unaware of the $17,000.00 fine for pshing, and they are totally unaware of the consequences involved in extortion. The only way they can become aware is once they are caught.

HSBC morgage

Caller ID says HSBC, and it is. Definitely an outsourced telemarketing call, probably in India. Trying to sell me credit card insurance on one of my accounts with them.

I have gotten two or three calls a day from this number over the past week.  If it's HSBC - we don't have an HSBC mortgage, although I do have a checking account with them.

I am receiving calls from this number, no message is left.  I don't have a mortgage with HSBC. ????

I am getting mulitple calls a da with hang ups. It is HSBC Collections Dept. They admitted to calling customers during the grace period of the loan but didn't seem very interested in correcting the hang ups. I indicated to Mr Gomez at 800-338-6441 (manager) that if someone were on the line I would understand but that i think the hang ups are harrassement and plan on investigatoing from my end. I suggest you do the same!

Just got a call from 800-975-4722. But they hung up once I answered. Thanks to this blog, I now know that it is HSBC. Now to find out why they would be calling me.

Lady claiming she was HSBC about my mortgage being behind, which it isn't.  So I was explaining her via looking at cancelled checks on my bank statement.  She then continued to argue saying no you owe more, so I asked to speak to a supervisor and she said what for. I stated cause you obviously don’t understand what I’m saying so I want your supervisor.  To which I got put on hold and then hung up on.  Oh yes did I mention I got this call at 8am on a Saturday morning!

My girlfriend and I have a HSBC mortgage. We setup a checking account with them just so we could "easily" do scheduled xfers for a worry-free homeowner's existence. Payments are considered late after the 15th. On the 19th we got an aggressive call from HSBC collections, early in the morning, before we had our coffee. They were demanding we pay our mortgage and notifying us that they were tacking on a $150 late fee to boot. We explained we have a scheduled transfer, but they said they could not help us with that because it's with the retail banking unit. Okay, so, but they could plainly see we have been doing automatic transfers for the last year. After much shouting about fairness and clarifying that the house is worth about 60% of what's owed so they are welcome to come and get it if that's worth their $150, we finally got through to a supervisor. He calmly explained how the transfers work, explained they can waive one late fee without question, and that we should have no problem getting the $150 back from the retail banking unit once we explain the situation to them.

Turns out our escrow deposit (for tax and insurance) was adjusted upwards by about $30/month. That disparity caused the scheduled transfer to fail. And I remember getting the letter informing me, it just did not occur to me to make an adjustment to the transfer.

Ultimately, their customer service was nice about it. And they sent us the forms we need to submit so that the transfer is the other way around, i.e., the mortgage unit will make a withdrawal from the checking account. That way, if the payment changes, we won't have to worry about.

What's that story all about? Now I'm getting deadline calls from that phone number...

Whoever this is, they call at least a couple of times a day and there is no one there.  There is a whole list of other similar 800, 888, 877 #'s - it goes on all day and evening.  I'm sure it's an auto dialing thing and it's maddening.
Not HSBC.

I got 6 calls from this number. I hate when they tell you THIS IS MISTER SO AND SO.. right away you know its a collector.

So pay your bills ontime and you wont have a problem.

I also just received a hang-up call from this number. I called them back and had them research the reason for the call. I turns out the call was made in error. I have all accounts/bills paid on time and there was no reason for the call.

Caller claims to be from HSBC, but I doubt that he actually was. Tried to sell me a savings account. He sounded like a low-class scam artist to me. If I thought HSBC actually made this call, I would withdraw all my business from their bank.

I was noticing this number on my caller ID several times a day for two days in a row.  Finally I was home to answer the call.  It was HSBC Mortgage.  The woman could barely speak english and they were calling on our mortgage that appartenly 3 days late.  The fustrating part of this whole matter is, we do all our banking with HSBC - and we have it set up that the payments are automatically taken from our checking account and transfered to the mortgage. Which makes it worse, it was their mistake! after speaking to this rep - I received 2 more phone calls asking for payments the same day.  HELLO!!! there is something called the fair debt collections act - they can only make contact once a day. Plus it was thier mistake . . .  we are now looking for a new bank to do business with.

Dept has been receiving numerous calls from this phone #.  Upon answering the call no one responds on the other end.  The phone that they keep calling is a corporate hotline #.

they do that a lot.

I called back - without giving any numbers and eventually got to a person - asked them to take me off their marketing call phone list - fellow asked for account id, name and verifications - said he'd update their records. We'll see if that works.

Updating the postings (August, 2009).

They called twice today, and when the answering machine picked up, they hung up.

Caller ID said: "800 9754722 UNKNOWN CALLER"

When I called the toll free number, it is the number for HSBC Bank.

I'm on the Federal and State "Do NOT Call Lists".....so why are they calling?

1-800-975-4722  calls my home numerous times a day and no one is on the line.  When I pickup the call and say Hello, no one says anything and shortly they hang up.  I want the calls to my home stopped!  I will report it to the better business bureau.

Send them an email and tell them to take you off their calling list or you will report them.   globalinfo@us.hsbc.com

it's the hsbc headquarter phone line, I know cause i call that number whenever i have problems with Hsbc

This is HSBC. If you have a credit card account with HSBC, they are calling to promote a service or product to you. I can't complain because HSBC gave me credit card with $4K limit just 2 years after going through a BK.
Just don't answer it.

Received a call back from the Annoyance Desk for my local number...Said it is HSBC (which I all ready knew)..suggested try calling the number back and try to get a person...I did just that...after several prompts.....finaly got a person...Melanie...in Buffalo.(11.19.2008).Melanie had several possibilities why this is happening..but nothing solid...she took the info and my complaint..said she was going to give it to a manager and would get back to me...I told her about this google site....so hopefully the calls will stop..I hope to get a response..only time will tell...

OMG it just happened again...I called the operator and she gave me the Annoyance Phone Call Number for my local area to report it...Left a message there and will follow up on it tomorrow...

Received a call from 800.975.4722...said Hello...no response..stayed on the line just to see what would happen...after about 30 seconds or so..they hung up..I signed up for the no call registery ..so I will report this number to them....Must be nice to have so much time on their hands, they feel the need to just sit there and dial numbers...Almost childish don`t you think...

They called me 3 times today. I called back and message says welcome to hsbc and then I hung up.

same here. kept calling a few times a week. tried to block the number with my phone. but seems didn't succeed. annoying.

We have had eight calls in four days. When my wife or I pick up the phone, there is no answer.  When there is dead space after we say hello, we always immediately hang up.
