tough to pay your bills. So HSBC-North America is allowing customers
in regions of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi affected by
Hurricane Katrina to defer their payments without penalties,
and without reporting delinquencies to credit reporting agencies.

customers who live in FEMA-designated Individual Assistance

and over-limit fees or other penalties that might normally be
assessed.

regions. In the credit card field, HSBC issues HSBC Bank, Household
