Consumer Narrative
Consumers are provided the opportunity to freely dispute inaccuracies on their credit reports as reported by creditors without retaliation. On XX/XX/2021 I reviewed my XXXX credit bureau and noticed that HSBC Bank USA, N.A had incorrectly reported my balance due on my open card ending XXXX. I submitted a request for an online investigation via the portal of XXXX 's Credit Dispute system. After carrying a balance on my account for ~6 months and making monthly payments, often in excess of the monthly minimum payment due, I paid the entire balance off in full. I also paid the balance of ALL my other credit cards off at the same time so that my balances reflected a - $ XXXX. After submitting my payment, HSBC failed to update the status of my account to reflect my payment history and the now current balance. I submitted my dispute for them to review the payment history and HSBS subsequently retaliated against me for using the dispute option and they reduced my credit limit from {$6500.00} all the way down to {$500.00} and sent me a letter that states the following : ( All of which are inaccurate based on the PAID IN FULL status of ALL my accounts ) 1- Amount own on revolving accounts is too high. ( False ALL balances were XXXX at time of letter generation ) 2- Proportion of balances to credit limits on revolving accounts is too high. ( False ALL balances were XXXX at time of letter generation ) 3- Proportion of balances to credit limits on revolving bank/national revolving accounts too high. ( False ALL balances were XXXX at time of letter generation ) 4- Length of time revolving accounts have been established. ( Account was approved with {$6500.00} limit with lesser credit history prior to my dispute ) I have called multiple times to speak to agents who are allllllllll to incompetent to understand what happened and provide a blanket statement of " We mailed you a letter '' ( mentioned above ). It is 100 % clear that HSBC Bank as retaliated against consumers for utilizing the options afforded them by regulatory agencies such as the CFPB. During first contact with HASB customer service the agent indicated that upon review of my complaint they have taken action on my account. CLEAR DISCRIMINATION for filing my complaint for their inaccuracies.
