CreditKeeper - Are consumers satisfied with the program?



CreditKeeper is a credit repair program provided by HSBC. It provides individuals with various tools to help them repair their credit. Anyone enrolling in this program, one can get access to their credit reports and scores online, and can locate and fix errors on their credit reports for a small fee.

Feedback on the CreditKeeper program

Debt Consolidation Care (DebtCC) community members have given feedback on CreditKeeper. Here are some of the key complaints against this credit repair company:

  • CreditKeeper scam: A community member of DebtCC accused CreditKeeper of overcharging him. He used the credit repair service for around 4 months, but surprisingly he was charged at least twice a month for the service he received. When he tried to cancel CreditKeeper, they told him that he had been charged only once a month. The CreditKeeper service provider also informed him that it was HSBC who had overcharged him. CreditKeeper is a part of HSBC. Therefore, the member felt that both of them were part of this scam. Know more...
  • Late fees: One customer complained that even after canceling his HSBC CreditKeeper account, they continued to charge him for the service. Find out more...

The simple way to handle these situations is to cancel your CreditKeeper account immediately. If you've been scammed, then report to your State's Attorney General, as well as Federal Trade Commission, and the Better Business Bureau.


Positive feedback

Here are some positive reviews from DebtCC community members:

  • Getting help to manage credit: One customer claimed that he used CreditKeeper HSBC account for around 2 years and it helped him manage his credit effectively. He got credit reports and scores each month from the company. He never faced any bill related problems. Learn more...
  • Fixed the errors: One person said that CreditKeeper helped him immensely in finding out and locating the errors on his credit report. Learn more...
  • Satisfactory service: One consumer said that he was satisfied with the service he received. The counselors/consultants of the company gave him useful tips to manage his credit. He had no complaints against the organization, and according to him, it is quite easy to cancel a HSBC CreditKeeper account. Learn more...

How to choose the right credit repair company

Take a look at the following tips to help you choose a good credit repair company:

  • Read online reviews: One of the easiest ways to find a good credit repair company is to read online reviews. There are various websites where customers have given feedback on the companies they have dealt with. You can also go through the company's website and take a look at the "About us", "Testimonials", and "Services" sections. This will give you an idea of what others are saying about that company.
  • BBB accreditation: It is important to find out if a particular organization is reliable. To find out whether a company is reliable, visit the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website and try to find out if the company is a BBB accredited business. If they are, check out the company's BBB rating.
  • Upfront fees: Most credit repair companies charge fees for their services. It is better to compare the fees charged by various credit repair companies before enrolling in their programs. This will help you find out which company charges the least. Make sure you avoid dealing with a company charging high upfront fees, as there may be a chance that the company is a scam.
  • Counseling: It is always better to check whether the organization offers in-person counseling. A reliable credit repair company will analyze your financial situation before offering any services. This will let you know whether the company is concerned about your situation.
  • Ask friends and family: Ask your family and friends to recommend a company. Find out whether they're satisfied with the company's services, that is, if the counselors deal with creditors, collection agencies, and credit bureaus efficiently.

Finally, it is better to stay away from those companies that make false promises and refrain from helping consumers at the right time. A good service provider will always follow up with credit bureaus, creditors, and you on a regular basis.

Beware of all the companies that assure credit repair in their packages. They'll charge a fee for it. You don't need to pay anything when you can fix the credit on your own. I have no idea about this company but I have seen many fliers. Check the company with your attorney general's office.

I have been using credit keeper hsbc for about 6 months with no problems. They allow you to see your current credit report & scores quite often. They seem to be a little slow with alerts though.

I have used Credit Keeper for 4 months. I had their $9.99 billed to my HSBC card monthly. Recently I have been trying to get the balance down on my card, so I have not used it at all. I received my last statement and saw 3 $9.99 charges for the past month! I pulled my file and other statements where to my dismay I discovered that they had been charging me atleast twice a month for this service. I immediately called the customer care dept. to cancel credit keeper hsbc service and they tell me that they only charged me $9.99 a month, and that HSBC has been overcharging me. So I cancel, and call my credit card company. They tell me they will only refund me $20 (I am owed atleast $50) and when I ask them why this has happened, I am rudely told that I should contact Credit Keeper with that inquiry. Credit Keeper is a division of HSBC, and they both have a stake in this scam. Upon some research on the web, I discover this same exact ploy has happened to thousands of others, and the only way to stop it is to actually cancel the card. STAY AWAY FROM HSBC CREDIT KEEPER!!![/font]

I have two accounts with Credit Keeper - one for myself and one for my husband. Each is billed to a different debit card account rather than HSBC's credit card. That way I will see more than one chargewhen I balance the statement. I triy never to allow the credit card company to add services to my account. Travel clubs, overdraft protection, payment protection are all means by which CC companies reap additional revenue off their customer base.

Think about this: Every CC in your wallet represents $25,000 in profit to the CC provider over the lifetime of the account. If you carry a balance, there's interest; if you sign up for any of the offered services, there's a monthly fee for each service; if you go over your limit, there's a fee for that; if your payment is late, there's another fee for that. And if additional cards are held within the family, tack on an additional $25K per card.

Best bet: Treat every CC in your wallet like an American Express Card....they bill monthly and the bill is payable in full 'cause they generally don't let you carry a balance. The temptation to spend more than you can afford any given month isn't there.

Hope this helps.

I have used my credit keeper account for over two years. I get an updated credit report monthly with all three credit scores. It’s a good sight to get information on maintaining you credit. Links to each of the credit reporting agencies to dispute incorrect information. I highly recommend using a credit monitoring service. CreditKeeper is a little slow in reporting changes. I have never had a billing problem with billing issues.

Hi,

This is to let you know that credit keepers are some of the added facilities that the credit card companies provide...something extra!!! .Now,it completely depends on the customers as to how much they are of interest to them .If you want to spend an added fee ,its fine with you,if not an extra benefit is not required!!!!!!!!!!
