HSBC is a parent company of Household International.

In October 2002, Household International, agreed to pay as much as $484 million to settle lawsuits filed against them for cheating their customers by overcharging them for home equity and other loans. Because the monthly payments were higher than consumers expected, many lost their homes.

The suit accused Household of deliberately misleading borrowers about the terms and conditions of their loans, including high rates and fees, principal amounts which exceed the actual value of their homes, and prepayment penalties that effectively trap borrowers in overpriced loans.

"Predatory" lending is generally defined as charging consumers high interst rates, excessive points, fees and prepayment penalties, often while requiring expensive credit insurance.

Four years later, October 2006, they continue the same predatory lending practices, only now under a new name. I am a victim of HSBC and am about to lose my home due to the predatory practices mentioned above.

I am ready to help put and end to this insanity and file class action lawsuit.

If the Arbitration Rider was signed, we may not be able to file a class action law suit . I have sent my loan documents to a lawyer for review. If the report comes back favorable, I am ready.

WE ARE 100% FOR FILING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HSBC!!! Just name the place and time. I am so sick and tired of these large corporations taking advantage of hardworking people who are just trying to get ahead. I have literally been paying $1400 a month on a first and second mortgage for a full year, and have only gone up in amount owed to this horrible company. I am too losing my home because of them. Maybe, if enough people get together, we can take this company head on!!! Sincerely, Ottawa Kansas ex-homeowner
