Victory for Consumers

Mallon Consumer Law Wins Major Case Against HSBC Bank.
In a landmark case, Mallon Consumer Law has secured a significant victory for consumers, obtaining a judgment against HSBC Bank in the amount of $250,000, plus the payment of our client's costs and attorney's fees. This case underscores the importance of fighting for consumer rights and demonstrates that justice can be achieved even against powerful corporations.
Our client, David Rubin, experienced a harrowing ordeal when an identity thief stole his HSBC credit card in the mail and made an unauthorized charge of $1,800 at Target. Mr. Rubin acted swiftly, notifying HSBC immediately and providing them with supporting proof that he did not make the charge. However, HSBC refused to remove the charge, leaving Mr. Rubin no choice but to dispute the account with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.
Despite these efforts, HSBC remained steadfast in their refusal to acknowledge the fraudulent nature of the charge. Faced with no other options, Mr. Rubin sought our assistance at Mallon Consumer Law to take legal action against HSBC in order to remove the erroneous charge from his credit reports.
HSBC, a global banking giant, hired one of the largest law firms in the world to represent them in this case. They mounted a vigorous defense, attempting to portray Mr. Rubin as responsible for the fraudulent charges. However, our team at Mallon Consumer Law was undeterred. We successfully defeated HSBC’s motion for summary judgment, a critical victory that resulted in a favorable decision for our client. This decision not only benefited Mr. Rubin but also set a precedent that will aid other victims of fraud and identity theft in New York and beyond.
The court's decision in our favor can be found here: HSBC v. Rubin Decision.
Recognizing the strength of our case and our preparedness to proceed to trial, HSBC ultimately offered a settlement. They agreed to a $250,000 judgment in favor of our client and to cover our attorney's fees, as determined by the judge.
This case is a testament to the resilience and determination required to challenge large corporations. It highlights the critical role of dedicated attorneys who are willing to go to battle for their clients. For consumers like David Rubin, having a steadfast legal team can mean the difference between enduring financial hardship and achieving justice.
At Mallon Consumer Law, we are committed to protecting the rights of consumers and holding corporations accountable for their actions. This victory serves as a powerful reminder that, with the right legal representation, consumers can indeed obtain justice.
