HSBC huge crooks.

We paid off our credit card with them and canceled it. 8 months later we get a statement showing we owed for our annual fee. Now they are trying to get more money out of us for a card we long ago canceled and paid in full. After I read this they don't know whats coming to them. I work for a collections lawyer and we may sue for all money ever paid to them above the actual merchandise we charged. Plus harrassment because they call all day long now.

They sold the Visa and MasterCard accounts to Capital One.My statements started coming from CO this month.

I am wondering if the change is why they are still trying to bill you the fee..I know I got a letter a few months back explaining the take over by CO of the accounts,etc.I dont think it fully went into effect until July.You may have a different type account because I have never been charged an annual fee and I have had the cards for almost 7 years.

Original Message A US report has found that lax controls at HSBC, Europe's largest bank, meant Mexican drug cartels were able to launder billions of dollars for seven years.

The investigation by the Senate also says US regulator knew HSBC Holdings PLC had a poor system to detect problems but failed to take action.

The report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee also found that some bank affiliates skirted US government bans on financial transactions with Iran and other countries.

And HSBC's US division provided money and banking services to some banks in Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh believed to have helped fund al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.
