I filed a case on fraudulent charges on my credit card back in 2008. The charges were reflected on my mom's card (an extension of my CC), which we claim we never received. They sent me a letter after a few months, informing me that my request to reverse the charges was denied and that I was hold accountable for the charges because they said (1) someone received my mom's credit card when they delivered it, and (2) I only reported the "lost card" after the charges were made. I told them I didn't report a lost card because there wasn't a card to report about, and that I reported for unauthorized charges. The letter instructed me to call a number and specified 2 employees I should get in touch with should I refuse the bank's decision. I called the number and looked for the employees and lo and behold — one was no longer with the company for 1 year then, and the other has resigned 2 years back. On this ground alone, it's already a misinformation which can be a basis for a BIG CASE against them. I pursued the issue but work and studies took the most part of my time and I eventually forgot about the issue. Then to my surprise, in 2010, the same person I was in touch with called and said they will be reimbursing me for 50% of the amount. I asked whythe change in decision and why now, they can't give me an explanation. I asked for a full refund plus the penalties incurred, and an email and snail mail about the offer and the new "decision" about my case. I never received any documentation. A few months after, another BPI officer called and made the same offer, and I told her about the previous demand I made plus the requests for the documentation. And as expected, nothing came thru my email and mail. I'm sure the bank officers closed my case despite the unresolved issue to cover up the case. I hope BPI calls soon to talk about this. I was reminded about this issue recently and am planning to revive the case and involve the media and the government agencies.

I went to BPI Market Market before 12 noon to claim my new card replacement. I wonder why it takes too long. Some of them are using mobile phone while on duty. I ended up taking 2 hours of my time just to get my card. Using cellphone during bank process, is that legal?

April 16, 2018 at iloilo international airport my ATM issued abroad (China merchants Bank) was captured by the BPI machine during my second withdrawal. The Php 10, 000 was deducted to my account but the machine was not able to dispense the said amount.

How to deal this?

The Bank of the Philippine Islands has always been late in delivering their credit statement of account to its clients. This has been a reason for concern since i am automatically charged with late and finance charges. I always pay in full and on time on my other credit cards since they deliver on time and to avoid penalties, but this bank seems to be inept in managing this problem.
