Who Called Us

Ok, So after reading a few of these coments it struck me that the guy calling from HSBC phone number-#8009591373
had informed me during the phone conversation that my account had been closed. He was calling to offer me a really good deal, granted it sounded good. Although he never once stated "this call was being recorded like all the others do. I was informed my account was still within HSBC services ('in house'). After an account gets closed I thought closed accounts got sold to third party collection handlers. He told me they were located in naveda and there was 2 hr difference in time as well as outbound calls only, you can never call dialing an extension number for a certain agent. I think its odd that they push such a big factor of safety/ beware of fraud crap on us yet some companies wont allow collection agents the benifit of scoring bonus payment of a client that returned THE agents persuasion pitch (sry im a bad speller). It must suck to actually work hard for a payment solution and then not get the credit when recovered the goal (art).

This is HSBC (in my case, for Best Buy.) My account payments are current, but Best Buy reduced my limit at some point in the past. Recently, a deferred interest purchase expired and the resulting interest took my account over the limit. Now they are pressuring me to pay down the account to below the limit, rather than just raise the limit to match the balance. I don't lose sleep over it, though. I have hired a debt manager to take care of everything for me.

HSBC......Kawasaki Good Times Card.

If the cost of both needed and wanted items in today's times would come way down from their sky-rocketed level, people wouldn't rely on using credit cards to obtain them! People feel they're working hard enough and should be able to buy these things, but their skimpy paychecks might not allow them to. So if employers would pay people what they're worth rather than have the nerve to pay people in these highly expensive times a pathetic minimum wage, then people wouldn't have to use credit cards! Also, if employers wouldn't be so god damn picky about who they hire, focus more on the individual than the competition they're trying to beat (nobody beats nobody anyhow, it's all one big circus), jobs would be easy to get FOR EVERYONE regardless of how perfect they acted on the interview!!!! I blame these very reasons for why people are in debt and unable to pay their bills... it's because of greed and distrust! Creditors: keep adding late payment and over the limit fees onto people's accounts and you'll really never get your money! It's bad enough people can't pay back what they borrowed, do you really think they're going to pay better if you add onto that balance? And if you make it hard for people to get jobs because of bad credit, HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT TO GET YOUR MONEY IF THEY CAN'T WORK???????????????????????????????????????????

I agree that they should put a stop on credit card accounts rather than accumulate late and
over the limit fees to get the person to owe more money beyond what they actually borrowed.
And yes, they should realize we are in a recession! I haven't been able to find work, or a job
that would pay me enough to pay my bills and still be able to pay for the roof over my head and
food I eat! What they should do is be more understanding of reality, and give people a second chance if they missed a payment. But since they are unforgiving and unforgetting, any logical person would feel once they've f'd up they've f'd up and it doesn't matter how hard they try to scrape up money to pay them, their credit still has bad marks on it that'll won't benefit them when they need it later!
Anyhow, I'd like to know how this HSBC bypassed my VIP ringing feature on optimum to get through to my line? WHO THE HELL ARE THEY AND WHAT POWER DO THEY HAVE TO GET INTO PEOPLE'S PRIVACY? DO THEY LISTEN IN ON PHONE CONVERSATIONS ALSO?

IGNORANT HORSE'S PATUT, GUTLESS WONDER WHO WOULD NOT OPEN THEIR MOUTH. GUTLESS WONDER WHO APPARENTLY HAS A HEAD AND BODY ORFICE PROBLEM

calles and leaves voicemail saying "i thought you didnt mind that i wait in your car when you get off work" creaps.

This is HSBC "RETAIL" CREDIT SERVICES, trying to get one to pay on ones Account. And for me, that is on my "HP Home & Home Office Account".
This has nothing to do with HSBC CREDIT CARD SERVICES.
And HSBC will not work with anyone about there Issue, as I have been tring for over a year!!!!!!!!!!!

This apparent collection agency has been harrassing me at home for several months claiming I owe an unpaid credit card bill to the now defunct Gottchalks department store. I have written them several times demanding to see a purchase receipt WITH MY SIGNATURE ON IT. So far they have done nothing but continue to send bills with escalating charges and then call my home several times a day but refusing to give their company name or reason for calling.

these muda heffas call me at least 9 times a day.. its so freaken annoying.. they never answer!

these people call all the time.. GURR!

Called twice yesterday, just called again today. All I ever hear is "I have an important call for.." & then I hang up.

If it's so damn important, why are you robocalling this person at their place of work?

Call me 15 times today,waking me up 3 times

unknown

How do I get them to stop? I have no business, no transations with the.

HSBC--Best Buy Credit card is who it is--dirtbags

I have been receiving calls from these a**holes for about 3 weeks now! I get calls starting as early as 7am and as late as 10pm. The first week I was getting called every 30min to an hour. Here on the third week they've slowed down to every 4 or 5 hrs....I guess cuz I have been ignoring their calls as soon as I see it on my caller I.D...I mean I do have a best buy credit card BUT was only "1" f**kin day late and sent the payment the next day. I'm just so pissed off that I'm continuing to get these harassing calls!?!? Ima just try my best to keep ignoring the calls until they get the f**kin "HINT" that I'm not going to answer their calls no matter how many times they call me.....>= (

Today I started receiving a call every hour from this number. My philosophy is...."if it's important, leave me a darn message"! Anyway, if it is Best Buy, they are calling about a balance less than $75, and I have NOT received my statement in the mail. Hmmmm....pick your battles and get a life.

I told these DIPS to Stop calling us this morning. Since then we've received another 6 calls. They are being reported to the FTC

Take the phone calls, an file a harrassment complaint with your state Attorney General Office,they deal with people like HSBC & Best Buy I would bet the calls will stop,what do you have to lose,Try it...The Federal trade commission
also frown on harrassment calls.File a complaint....they both have a website....

They are STILL calling this person at work.

Recording that said "We have an important call for you, all our operators are busy..." That's a hang up for me. The next time they call for this employee I think I'll let them know that they got fired because of the incessant credit card calls.

Darn Best Buy! I think I will start calling them at all hours of the day!!!!!!! Were in a recession people, you would think that they would give you time to pay the bill ! I think all credit cards, etc. should just freeze the accounts that are past due.....and when this recession is over then they can get thier darn money.My Mother bought a stand up freezer from them and in a year and a half it went out. With only a one year warranty.
This time they went and bought another one and paid the 129.99 for a five year warranty. NEVER buy at Best Buy.

They keep calling for an employee, I keep voicemailing it. They shouldn't be bothering this person at work. This is why I never put my work number on my credit cards. Or I give 'em a fake one. Your area code plus 867-5309 usually works every time.

Pretty sure its Best Buy. On day late and they call constantly ! Sometimes up to 15 calls a day!!!! I am ready to tell them where to shove it ! I think they are a collection company for other companies also that are related to credit card accounts.

It is from HSBC they are calling about being late on credit cards.

I have no account with them and they wont beleive that im not the person they are looing for. They keep calling the more you talk to them the more they call you. I have got 37 calls from them today alone.

These stupid people call everyday and I dont even have an account with them, they wont stop calling though. Exactly the reason Im changing my number and switching carriers, by the way dont buy T-Mobile because they charge a bs 15$ fee to change your number even if you continualy recieve these calls they wont waive it

This is the collection department for HSBC. They will start calling if you are one day late on a payment. It's all legit even though they are annoying...lol. They annoyed me enough the first time. No more interest from me, I payed it off and told them their personnel were the reason for cancelling the account!!

I have the same problem as Evelyn. 8009591373 and 8003656538 are CONSTANTLY calling. sometimes every hour. It starts as early as 8 am even on a Sunday. They NEVER leave a message. It's rediculous!!!!

QUIT CALLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR LOOKING FOR CHRISTINA WILLIAMS AND SHE DOESNT OWN THIS PHONE

These are the two non stop numbers that come up on my caller ID like every 2 hours even at 8am on a Sunday morning with by law is illegal! I am not late on my Best Buys charge card what so ever and this harrassment is making me want to call the local news station after reading all these complaints here and file a media complaint and a lawsuit after them! Watch these two numbers they use and then they go to CALLER UNKOWN when these dont work!18003656538 and 18009591373. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is getting harrassed by these people!

I have been getting harassing phone calls from this number.

They claim they are a "credit card company" that I owe an outstanding balance to.

This is a scam.

Beware!

Woman left voice mail "Hello?"

I keep getting calls from them. I called back the 800-959-1373 number after weeks of these phone calls, only to find out it's my ex giving my phone number out! She says she can't take my number off his account, but can suspend the calls for five days while I try to get ahold of my ex...grrrr! I'm guessing he's been behind on his Best Buy card...

I have an on-going dispute with Best Buy/HSBC. I may take them to small claims court. Please check with your state attorney general, but in California, you can request to have no more calls from them and correspond only in writing. You will need to do this in writing.

They keep calling and calling. I called them back it's HSBC

There really starting to piss me off I dont bank with them or have any accounts and they will not quit calling me!! I have even cussed these idiots!

They call every day, four or five times a day. If you answer, they ask for your name, but won't tell you who they are before you verify that you are who they are calling for. If you refuse to answer their questions until they tell you who they are, they ignore you asking them who they are and repeat themselves. If you ignore their call, they hang up when they get your voicemail or leave a voicemail that says: "hello. hello. hello?" and then hang up. They even started calling other members of my family that I don't even live with and they do the same thing to them. They ignored my family's requests to never be called again at that number. The number they called that was my family members was never even on my account. So obviously they are going through the phonebook of something. I'm assuming all of this because I was literally a couple days late on a f-ing payment.... I am guessing, because I STILL don't know who this was harassing me.

I have been receiving calls from 800 959-1373 and told this company HCBC that the person they have been looking for does not live here.they told me that i need to get a hold of this person that does not live here and they will stop calling is ther any one i can call to turn this company for harassment?

I have no credit cards, only debit cards. I don't bank with these people. They don't leave a message and I'm not about to answer my cell at work.

Between the hours of 8am and 9pm, these people have called me more than once an hour for four days straight!!! After a few days of them not leaving messages, I finally answered a few calls tonight. The first time I answered, I could hear people laughing in the background but no one spoke to me, even though I held for some time cause I wanted to be removed from their stupid list!!! The second time, the guy asked for a guy named David. I asked to be taken off the list and the guy hung up on me!!! The third time, a woman asked for David. I asked to be taken off the list again and she said OK, but I don't believe her!

This number used to call constantly. Last month, I called them back, emailed them, and told them to knock it off. It stopped for about a month, then two calls today. We do have a cc with Best Buy, but the guy I talked to said it's current (duh, I knew that...balance is less than $200) and there is nothing in the system under any phone number I gave him for another account. He wa actually very nice and said that he would put another note in the system for them to quit calling me, but we'll see if they really do...

Report these jerks to the FTC, they are in violation of more then a few standard rules. ftc.gov

these jokers have called over 61times

Constant calls that have started this past week. I will be blocking this number from my phone.

when i called back to ask for a manager, they wouldn't put me thru unless i had my phone number, first and last name and social security number. i only gave them the first two with a fake number and insisted that i talked to a manager so the dumb bitch finally put me through and i got off their list.

keeps telling me they are with wells fargo and i told the bitch not to call my house and she told me in a snobby fucking attitute that she was aloud to call me anytime before 10. i called back to talk to a manager and the lady wouldn't let me.

dont know. i get the call every day. like the other caller it alternates between the 2 numbers.

Asked for someone who does not live here. Absolutely REFUSED to tell me where he was calling from. I asked that my number be deleted from the database. We'll see if that works.

Calls and asks for some one who doesnt live at the house

who ever these people are -- they call me AT LEAST 5 times a day non-stop!!! WTF!!! I refuse to answer AND they NEVER leave a message!

Call us we will get them off your back!!

acreditsolution@vzw.blackberry.net

Called my cell 3 times with two different numbers while I was at work. Got an automated message about an important call and to please hold for an available operator. I hung up twice then set my phone to reject the number. They called again. No message left on voicemail.

They called my house 14 times one day. Sometimes every hour or so and sometimes every 15-20 min. When I finally picked up the phone, they apologized for the inconvenience because the account had been brought up to date two weeks ago. Rediculous!

would not say who it was; asked for someone who no longer lives here; told me "don't hang up because I will just have to call back". I hung up anyway.

I have received multiple calls from this number - 10 yesterday alone. I have no HSBC account, no Best Buy account - no store credit card of any kind, and I don't owe anyone any money, so it's clearly a mistake. When I called the number back I was told my phone number was NOT in the system, so there was nothing that could be done. wtf?? The next call, I answered, and the person asked for someone not at my number. When I said so, and began to ask them to remove my number, they hung up on me. Great. So I call the number back, and get a woman with a thick Indian accent who suggests I change my number and proceeded to insult me. When I asked for her name and supervisor, she hung up on me. I have gotten nowhere with these rude presumptuous idiots, and I'm not sure what to do.

if they would leave a honest message i may call back

Was a computer generated person saying "we have an important message for you" but then said "all our operators are busy" to wait and someone will come on.

They called here asking for Kurt. I told them I knew of no Kurt and my number would be removed. I called back so I could see who it was." HSBC...can I have your account please" I hung up.

Have noticed number on caller id multiple phone calls yesterday and today while out celebrating Mother's day. Left no messages

I never picked up my phone. I get at least 5 hang ups/day on my voice mail.

HSBC. Called after 9:00 p.m.

ripoffreport.com

THey will call me every 5 minutes over and over if I hang up on them. When I finally take the call just to get them to leave me alone, I asked for their name and the guy was very reluctant to give it to me. He kept demanding to know if J---- Camp--- lived there. It wasn't any of his business who lived at my house, because I did not give them permission to call me and am on do not call list. I asked for their phone number and he didn't want to give it--kept changing the subject. I finally told them that they had wrong number and not to EVER call me again.

Now if am learning from this complaint site that many others also get calls from them and they also are called with this company requesting to speak to someone who doesn't live there. They also make you hold in silence for a while before being connected, and I am wondering if they are somehow connecting their computers to your phone line to spy on you.

It is harrassment to call over and over and not have peace until you speak to them, even though you are on don't call list. I think a class action suit would be nice. How do you find a lawyer who would do that?? WHere do you begin??

1-800-959-1373 - Been calling me every 10 minutes from 8:15 am until around 7 pm. I finally called it back because all my CC accounts are up to date and I couldn't figure out why whomever this was would keep calling me. When I called them back it was HSBC Nautilus.

They aclled at 8 am 8:25 8:45 10:00 7:45pm 8:00pm 8:27pm (sun) i have no idea who it is there is another number calling also i think it is about my bon ton account

I have counted the calls. They are coming in 14 times a day 7 days a week. They never leave a message when they go to voicemail. I have tried returning the call but I always get the "Please hold for the next rep..." comment. I don't know what they are thinking but if they want me to speak to someone they better have a live person on the other end of the line when they call, not an automated holding system. I do not know why they keep calling because I'm not late on any of my credit cards. This is down right harrassment!!!

It's only a matter of time before "HSBC" is prosecuted for white collar crimes. Their continued harassment of people who are not even affiliated with them must stop, as must the disturbing and shockingly unprofessional behavior of their employees. I will be laughing it up on that very day.

Called my cell phone and left a "breathing message" MY CELL PHONE # IS REGISTERED ON THE "DO NOT CALL" LIST

they left vm, listened and it was an automated message asking me to hold for the next rep. I deleted msg.

Received a call from this number on my cell phone. Didn't answer because I didn't recognize it. Tell these people to stop calling me!!!

All day long... Starting at 8:04AM til 10:00PM. Sometimes will call 20 seconds after the previous call. Number indicates "Unknown Name" - "Unknown Number" Didn't know who it is until I researched and wound up here. I don't use credit cards for this particular reason.

I have answered a few calls and they will not say who they are... They ambush me with questions that I refuse to answer and won't let me get a word in edge-wise. Now I mess with them, speaking in other languages. One time they transfered me to someone who spoke Spanish... That's when I started speaking German.

Now I can have some fun with speaking multiple languages! Great Fun! :-)

LEAVES NO MESSAGE..OUT OF AREA

Received a call from this number. Let it go to voice mail since it was on my cell. Called back and got some retard who wouldn't tell me who they were looking for. Asked for an account, I didn't have one, obviously. He asked for my phone number, which I gave, then he asked my name, but it didn't match who they were calling for. He refused to tell me who they need to speak to, and said that I had to wait until I get another call to see who they want, then inform them that they have a wrong number. ?!? Let's just eliminate that step altogether, tell me who you want and I'll tell you to quit calling. Nope. Now I get to wait for more freaking phone calls from these idiots.

my caller id always identify these whores as "toll free svc" whatever the hell that is. sometimes but seldom anymore they leave a message and
identify themselves as "nco group". For those just qetting acquanted with these sons of whores the bad news is the are persistent to the point of harrasment. My caller Id shows they call at least 5 or 6 times a day and this has been going on for at least 2 friggin years. Lately Im actually having fun messing with them back. when they computer generated call comes in just tap the phone and it will think someone is on and causes a rep to actually try to talk to you. I make them take the call and play music or tv while they keep repeating hello till they finally hang up.
I think I'll finally take one their calls just to get some info and I will start calling them 5 or 6 times a day.
This is a company that is just begging to be fucked with and now I will oblige the sobs. don't get mad get even.

I dont know how they got my number but these guys are truely annoying as fuck.

They call here starting at 8:00am and don't stop until 10pm. They call every couple of hours. They never leave messages. I do have an HSBC credit card but it's nowhere past due or anything. Any other creditors or collection agencies will leave messages. They don't. This is ridiculous! My boyfriend answered the other day and there was no one on the line at all. I work nights and sleep days. I am miserable! They alternate between two numbers; 18003656538 and 18009591373. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is getting harrassed by these people!

The have called me 10 times in the last 3 days. When we answer, the message says they have an important message for me, please hold. This number is on the "do not registry". I told her that and she said she is not a solicitor. I told her never to call me again orI would report her, and that she had the wrong number.

Hold Music,then recording that operators are busy, please continue to hold to be connected. This the 2nd day I've been getting these on my answering machine. I assume this a political/charity call. I'm on the National Do Not Call Registry.

It's HSBC ... they've called my phone as late as 10pm CST and as early as 5am CST. They have no reason for the incessant calling, but when asked they say that they only call between 10am-5pm. Horrible business practices.

NEVER LEAVES A MESSAGE COMES UP UNKOWN ON CALLER ID

Male called w/foriegn accent (african), ask for someone by an odd name, wanted to know if I know where to get a hold of them.
I think who ever own's this number better investigate

Stupid people. They must have called 150+ times in the last month and never left a message. You think they would look at there call records sometime and figure out my phone is set to ignore that #, goes right to voice mail so it dont waste my minutes. And Ive sent them 4 payments in 2 months so I dont know what there problem is, thats why all 800 and 866 #s are ignored by my phone now.

HSBC=Hong Kong Savings Bank Of China...............

Credit Collections

HSBC - Polaris

these guys are strange. I have no idea what they want. I talked to them after the automated recording of "you have a important call, please hold on for the next blabh blah" Then the guy started demanding answers, like, is this john dos work? I asked their name and what company they are calling in regards and he keeps trying to push his questions w/o answering mine first. Then they just disconnected. What kinda crap is that?

ITS BEST BUY BEST BUY IF YOU EVER ASSOCIATED WITH OR HAVE A CREDIT CARD WITH THEM.. ITS BEST BUY.

Have called every hour starting at 8:20 am CST until 9:00 pm CST starting on Monday, 12/09/07 and continue to call.

just called..

I know it HSBC because I have an account with Bowflex. They call all day long!

hsbc best buy

I have a new cell phone. These people keep calling and calling for the person who previously had this number. When I explain this to the person calling, they refuse to stop calling. I called T-mobile who directed me to my local police department. Now, I am logging the calls throughout the day each day as they call to file a criminal complaint. I suggest others do likewise who are being harassed by these people.

Phoned me at 7:15AM today in violation of U.S. law. When I mentioned this to the mention on the other end, she hung up.

Non-stop they call every morning around 9:00. I see that someone else mentioned HSBC and Best Buy. I have a charge card with them and am one month late. I will never ever borrow money from HSBC / Best Buy again. I assume when I pay my bill, they will stop. Also their interest rate has become totally outrageous.

I got 8 calls from them today. This is the first time. I do not have any relationship with Best Buy and only have one store credit card. So I don't know what they want.

They called several times in the last 2 days. Caller ID just shows the number. Who is this? I have nothing to do with Best Buy or anyone with HSBC whoever that is.

HSBC... If i start running now they will never catch me!

And after 5 years of trying to pay off a 2k card... that I have easily paid 4k towards... give it up!

It is HSBC/Best Buy calling about a rescheduled home theatre installation.

It is HSBC.. They are like bull dogs.. they just keep coming and coming.. they don't give up. they call each hour.. on my cell phone. worst than the mob.

They called here at 8:38am, looking for someone who doesn't even live here. The guy hung up on me when I asked to have my phone number taken off their list. I called THEM back and talked to another representative explaining the situation. Hopefully they won't call again. I think the last owners of my phone number are still handing it out--urgh! It's been over a year of constant phone calls of creditors looking for them.

Rec'd 2 calls from recording asking me to wait for important information. I called back next day and said I'm Do Not Call, so don't. Person said "you have an account with us so it doesn't matter", i.e. we'll call whenever we want. I hung up.

looking for someone else that I don't know.... WRONG NUMBER. They better not call me again!!!

They call every single day. I don't answer thinking it will stop but it never does. starts between 8 - 9 am and calls all day long into the evening. i'm on the the do no call list but doesn't seem to matter.

They just left a VM and after a 2 minute pause there was a faint message that I could not make out the beginning of and then "...is stupid"

Call came at 10:30am on 7-31-07. Caller ID said "Unknown", but other sites advise HSBC Retail Services. This is the second number they use.

It's collections from HSBC. it doesn't matter what you tell them they will keep calling and calling. Even if you tell them that they will hear from your lawyer if they continue. They just want your blood!

Multiple calls from this number have hit our recorder. THis morning, the first came in at 8 AM!

They called here at 8am. Isn't it against the law for telemarketers or whatever to call before 9am??

They call me about 13 times a day, i think it is the point of harassment. HSBC is a horrid company with bad business practices, I talked with them about the calls and they said that I was on their que and the automated systems just call me.

Was a computer generated person saying "we have an important message for you" but then said "all our operators are busy" to wait and someone will come on.

out of area,left no message

Picked up and was told to hold for the next available agent. They keep calling my job!

We have had phone calls from this number before, and they won't quit calling. I have reported them to the Do not Call list. I don't think it matters. We have an HSBC credit card, but we are not behind on payments at all, so I wonder what they want.

Call from HSBC Retail Services, probably the collections department. They called me in regards to the CC I have with CompUSA. I think anytime they have a internal problem they call from this TF and 800-365-6538.

They call on my cell phone at least once a day.. i never answer, and they don't leave voicemail

Called them back; they answered "Thank you for calling HSBC Retail Services". I didn't respond, just wanted to see who they were. A Google search indicates this may be a collection call, although there is no reason I should get such a call. Found this, however:

ripoffreport.com

Called on cell phone. Didn't answer.

HSBC collections

picked up and got an automated system that told me to hold for the next available rep. hung up.

Redturned call answered HSBC/Best Buy

They call almost every evening and is an automated survey. It is going to transfer you but no one is there.

called, said name latoya from virginia - ok?
