HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A. Via Best Buy
Incorrectly Entered Information and Did Not Close Fraudulent Acct

While at Best Buy in Eastgate, OH, my fiance applied for a credit card through HSBC via Best Buy in order to get a payment plan for a laptop. The girl entered his information wrong, putting a fictitious name in place of his real name. Therefore, we were unable to use the card via driver's license like they advertise, given it was an incorrect name.

We waited there over an hour while they tried to get things straightened out, only to be told we would have to find another way to purchase the laptop, and go home and call three phone numbers. Each phone number was a dead-end: hours with no answer, being bounced back and forth between, etcetera. Finally an agent said the accounts had been closed and sent us termination notices.

Now, months later, I am receiving more privacy disclosures and notices on the account with the fictitious name. I sat on hold for 35 minutes on the HSBC consumer services number, and finally got an agent. Who gave me ANOTHER number after realizing it was a Best Buy issue, and he confirmed my suspicions that if we are getting notices, the account isn't closed. I'm not sure, but this HSBC place sounds like a huge scam.
