HDFC Bank worst service!

I have two savings accounts with HDFC Bank, one loan account and one credit card account and I had a good image of HDFC Bank but today that has been shattered by its employees. I visited the Malakpet, Hyderabad branch to deposit amount in my savings account so that my EMI of HDFC Personnel loan gets debited, but before that I had to check the balance in my account and according to that i had to deposit. When I reached the onsite atm at Malakpet branch one of the machine was not working because of which i had to wait for fifteen minutes due to which I was late at the counter for five to ten minutes,but the employee Mr.G.Sudheer took the amount of all the people in front of me but didn't accept my amount and said that I am late by ten minutes, I requested him that the atm was not working because of which i got late and requested him that I am coming from a far distance, but he rudely continued saying come tomorrow.I took this matter to the bank manager Mr.Sk.V.N.Viswanath he went, met his employee, listened to him and said come tomorrow, being a manager he himself was not ready to understand the customer problem, then what should we accept from his subordinates. I will request my company Hr to close the accounts of all the employees, because of the rude behavior and service of the bank employees. I want to have a written apology from the bank manager and the employee or else I will move to consumer redressel forum. I think HDFC Bank people should send their employees for a day and make them see the way icici bank employees deal with their customers... because of which they are number one.

With Regards,
Habeeb Ahsan Al Hashmi

HDFC Bank excess amount withdrawn from my hdfc saving accounts

Re: HDFC

This is to inform you that your bank has been withdrawn Rs 5000/-from my saving account towards the outstanding of Credit Card. The bank did not take any confirmation before auto withdrawn.

Please note that neither I received any statement from the bank nor get any information for the o/s, so how can the bank withdraw money from my account.

In October 2006 my card has been closed by bank and confirmed o/s of Rs.3000/- but the actual o/s was only Rs.1862/- which I was ready to pay and settle the a/c, but the bank did not taken any initiative. Now in April 2007 the bank has withdrawn Rs.5000/- from my saving a/c, which is totally illegal.

So Please deposit Rs.3000/- in my a/c which the bank has withdrawn illegally form my HDFC saving a/c.

If the bank will not deposit the excess amount withdrawn I will take a legal action.

Thanks & Regards,
Puneet Anand.

HDFC Bank abusive calls

I got a call from HDFC credit card collection department. I made my payment through cheque and not cash which didn't seem favorable to this lady of HDFC. so, she said "Shut Up" to me and banged the phone down!

then i called up the collection dept to complaint about this. I had to Speak to 7 People... Had to call 8-9 times as people were not ready to take the complaint and were banging down the phone. I spoke to Ritika, Sunaina (supposed to be the floor manager... who was shouting on top her voice and banged the phone on me!), prachi (who was helpful but lied that she was the floor manager!) siddarth (wrong name), Anita ( supposedly the real floor manager who also banged the phone down!)

The condition of this call center is terrible. I hate to be card holder of this company! Will just call to discontinue my services!

I agree with this.. HDFC collection agency is horrible to deal with.. they are trained to humiliate customers..
I would say to HDFC bank - Please force those customers who intentinally donot want to pay.. why do you torcher the honest customers who want to pay but may get late due to certain unavoidable reasons.. in any case bank is charging late fine, financial charges etc etc.. why the hell customers will listen to harsh words even after paying extreme high charges for the delay.

HDFC Bank unmannered and abusive language of customer

Re: HDFC Bank

Regret to say & feeling very bad that I had opted HDFC Bank Ltd. for credit card facility.

This is with reference to an invoice dated 19th Apr, 2007 against above credit card in my account. It shows a minimum due amount of Rs.2330/-. Because of some urgency with some personal matters, I couldn’t pay the minimum due amount & then I have planned to pay with late fee against the next invoice of HDFC Bank Ltd. for the month of May, 07.

On 21st May, 2007 at around 1622 hrs., I have received a call from your collection executive named Mr. Siddhartha from the telephone no. 011-[protected] asking for the minimum due payment on behalf of HDFC Bank Ltd. I have shown my helplessness & assured him to make the payment next month along with the late fee. Have shared below facts with him –

1) Since last 03 years, I am a HDFC Bank customer & using the card very regularly.
2) Making the payment regularly as shown in the invoices.
3) It has happened in the past also, that I have missed on the minimum due on certain occasions, but as I am fully aware of Bank’s terms & conditions, I have paid the amount very next month along with the late fee.
4) This due is only against last month’s invoice, not since last 4-5 months.

But, in his whole conversation, this gentleman was totally raw, ill mannered with very rough & abusive language.
The way he has dealt with myself, doesn’t give a good sign on HDFC part. If this person is one of the employees of HDFC name, I am afraid of HDFC’s future.

I have tried to speak to him to make him understand that though you are in collection department, but you cannot deal with every customer in the same way, can’t use bad language, can’t abuse so easily... but the vocabulary that he has shown very seemed to be much handy with him and sounded as “harami” ... ”haramzada”... ”teri aukat nahi hai”... ”kutte ki aulad” etc.. etc... (and so many other “bad sayings”, that I cannot write)

I want a responsible person to take a serious now, as your executives cannot speak like this…whatever they want to…whenever they want to…with whom so ever they want to…

With the lot of dis-appointment, waiting for a response on this message.

HDFC Bank false credit card payments

I am holding hdfc 2 credit cards.

As per bank people instructions I have clear the amount on 27/01/2007 for both the cards and the executive collected the cards from me. I have collected the customer copy from executives for the payment and executive has mentioned clearly on the receipt like "no dues and clear the amount" and executive has collected the credit cards from me.

After 2 months again I am getting so many calls from agencies to pay the payment without using the card and cards are collected on 27/01/2007. Regarding this I have talked to bank people and I have sent mail also but I didn't receive any response from bank side. Regarding this I have spoken with customer care on 23/04/2007 at 3pm and the reference no is [protected].

But till now I didn't receive any response from bank but I am getting calls from hyderabad and bangalore from agencies and they are talking fallaciously words with my parents and to me also.

I had an hdfc bank salary account (At hdfc bank, c-17, anand niketan branch, chanakya puri ) with act no-[protected] which i have been using for more than 2 years. 3 weeks back my debit card got captured in another banks atm because of some mal function and i had to approach my branch for a replacement. Even after four visits to the branch in three weeks up to june 29, 2010 and filling up of numerous forms they couldnot provide me with an replacement debit card, cheque book or phone banking or net banking pin at the branch. They were not willing to update either my phone number or address even after i provided lease agreement for home as address proof. This is highly disappointing and unacceptable in an age where other banks are looking to provide competitive services. So people please be careful whom you open salary accounts with.

Hi,

i had taken a credit card from HDFC bank in 2004 and in Jan 2005 they charged me wrongly and i did complained them that time only and asked them to settle the bill.

till 2008 they slept over it and i also forgot and now they returned today after my mail for settlement in March 2009.

Today they are trying to armtwist by saying that they will not give my Car NOC unless the card payment is cleared which is charged wrongly.

HDFC Bank is a Cheat bank and no one should open the account in his bank. They are bleedy blood sucking parasite which sucks all the blood of the customers. And the most pathetic is there Customer Service. This is ridiculous service I have ever seen in for any bank. Person should even think 1000 times to open any type of account within this bank. THESE PEOPLE ARE BIG RASCALS WHO NEVER UNDERSTAND PROBLEMS OR THERE CUSTOMER.

THEY ONLY KNOW TO DEDUCT MONEY FROM THE CUSTOMER ACCOUNT.

I have closed my HDFC Credit Card thru settlement in 2010. I have requsted for NO-DUE letter and with much pressure the Bank issued letter but without full credit card number like 1234 xxx xxxx 6789. I takenup with the Bank and the bank officials maintained that they issue NO-DUE letter without full Card number only. When the card is closed why they are not issuing the letter with full card number. This shows their intention that they may again reach the customer with some other dues even for the closed card. Please take care of the Credit card closed A/cs and take the NO-DUE letter properly or else they will land you in trouble after some time.

Re: HDFC, Customer Service Officer

Your bank also sent me Two Balance Transfer cheques of Rs. 10,000/- (4000 and 6000), but it was not utilized by me and were sent back immediately to you and after reminding you so many times, the said amount was debited. In the meantime, your bank imposed charged against said B.T., which was not reverted and the amount has now become Rs. 8803.62 as per your latest statement (june).

For the same, I have contacted you every month, your executives tell me to pay the actual amount against my purchases, and they will revert the extra amount in the next statement.

It has been a very long time since I am contacting you for this matter and despite of my written reminders (by post and mail) to you every month since January, note that you have taken no action till date.

I have duly paid all my dues (monthly) in time and am not liable for any other payment. One of your executives came to my residence in the month of January and asked for Rs. 420/- against settlement amount. I duly paid the said amount also. But the same thing was repeated in the statement of the next month also.

Besides, your recovery agents contact me every month and threaten me to pay the extra amount otherwise they will come to my residence and will create unnecessary nuisance. Note that I have also stopped using this credit card now.

Thanking you,

Bhupinder Singh

HDFC Bank with full of frustration I am writing this complaint about hdfc bank

With full of frustration I am writing this complaint. If anyone can help me please give the appropriate person call number because the phone bankers are again delaying to look at the complaint. The issue is as follows:

1. I have given the request to change the address by April 26 2007.
2. I went and inquired whether the address is modified by April 30 2007 and got it informed tat they will change the address by May 3rd or May 4th
3.Then again i went and inquired on May 4th and got informed tat they didn't update the address.
5. I fought with the guy like a manager and got the DD's to apply for my visa and the bank statement for 6 months on May 4th.
6. But in spite of all my struggle the statement given was with the old address and hence my visa was returned from the visa agent on May 9th
7. On May 10 I again went to them to get the new statement with my new address but now the concerned person is saying tat the address is not yet modified as he thinks tat the form may be lost and he asked to give the new form. With full of frustrations I walked out of the place.

I am in full frustration. As a customer how can we handle such a humiliating and irresponsible activity from an organization like HDFC. I have to bear the loss of getting back my visa and after affects of that.

I am a credit card holder of HDFC bank and the card Number [protected]. I am regular in payments of credit card dues. Unfortunately for the last 4 months even I drop the cheque at the HDFC drop box at Paradise, Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh in time, the authorities state that the payment is not received in time and charging interest and late fee charges. It became a regular practice of the bank.

They bank service is pathetic. Customer service is very bad and they are rude. The bank charges for everything if you don't maintain the balance for one days also and it is not AQB. According to them it is per day which they don't mention when u open an account. Very bad service. They charge and make money from customers.

HDFC Bank terrible hdfc customer care experience

I am hdfc credit card customer since 1 year. Today I had called to your customer care, bangalore office on [protected] regarding my card payment. A guy named "rafiq" had picked up the phone. I got really very bad experience with this hopeless guy. This guy does not know how to talk to the customer. He was so arrogant while talking that he was doing some favor on me. I am requesting you to kindly take some severe action on this crap guy, so that he will understand that he is working in customer care and not customer harassment. I am going to share this with all my friends and all online groups I am registered with.

Thank you,
Ak

Point is nothing can happen as this is the umpteenth time I have complkained and not a single [censored] head from this [censored]all bank has called me or sent any information. Apologies guy, my advice all of you all over the world, stop banking with this F'd up never usefull bank, and one day in the years to come they will close down. Maybe not possible what I am saying but doable if even 1000 people stop banking with them at one shot.

I have called and mailed HDFC customer care centres many a times i.e from past two months but till date i didnt got any response from them. Besides this I have also contacted my branch office at Khanna, Branch office's executive says that they cannot help me as the deatils can only be extracted from Mumbai. But when contacted at their customer care centres I receive just one reply that within 2 working days my complaint will be resolved but till date their 2 working days are still continuing.

I have done some share trading through my above mentioned account. I asked bank authorities to forward me entire details of Share traded through my account.

HDFC Bank - making fool of their existing customers

I wanted to apply for a personal loan and I thought it would be best if I apply in the bank where my salary is credited, i.e., HDFC Bank. When I logged onto the site, the eligibility criteria for loan was the following for the salaried people: 1. Proof of Identity (Passport Copy/ Voters ID card/ Driving License). 2. Address Proof (Ration card...

HDFC Bank credit card penalties

Credit card was given on the condition that first year no charges will be levied. Inspire of this Rs. bill was issued by bank for Rs. 540 for credit card account opening charges, after received the bill i wrote a letter to HDFC bank. Bank has assured that account opening charges will be reversed and same has been reversed in time. But penalty for non payment of credit card account opening charges have debited in my account and that amount was increased up to Rs. 2800. This is not justified. Bank cannot charged on those amount which is not payable by customer.

THIS is to add from my side these HDFC CARD PEOPLE & SPECIALY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXECUTIVES ARE BEYOND CHEATERS ? ROBBERS AS THESE PEOPLE IN PITY HELP THE DISTRESSED BUT THIS HDFC BANK PEOPLE COMPELL THE CUSTOMER TO CREATE FRAUD BY PRESSURISING & FREQUENT CALLING THESE PEOPLE THOUGH OPERATING IN INDIA & MAY BE MOST OF THEM ARE INDIANS HAVE NOT YET LEARNED INDIAN CULTURE & THE INDIAN ETIQUETTES HENCE THEY TAKE THE CUSTOMER FOR GRANTED AND N NUMBER OF PEOPLE CALL ONLY ONE SINGLE CUSTOMER FOR THE SAME SILLY CAUSE & KEEP AWAY THE MAIN COMPLAINTS TO BUY OUT THE TIME SO THAT THE CUSTOMER IS FRUSTATED .THGIS IS MY COMPLAINT AS UNDER NOT YET REPLIED

It was pleasure at last I got a reply may not totaly irrelevant but not precise too .I further repeat my words with Poonam madam on Oct 20, 2008 that the worst condition of Consumer / Customer is in India where any company / Institution can rule the Customer and for a sound reputed esteemed bank like HDFC it should not take even minutes to understand penalties / assets / liabilities .When the penalties or charges in other words like Rs.700 for check bouncing, interest on delayed credit card payment is documented the bank's liabilities towards compelling the customer to lead to fraud & sending gundas, recovery agents for HDFC CARD payments with ICICI bank I CARD entering the house is surely due to the recovery agents appointed by the bank but where there is no undue recovery this is a thief entering the HDFC Card customer's house without knocking & trying to steal goods & when noticed showing the ICICI Identity card yet this is brought to the notice of the Local HDFC Branch Manager & Confirmed alas GOD BLESS them those who are spelling out to fetch justice but cannnot .SO MADAM ITS FINALY A CHALLENGE PLEASE SAVE THIS DOCUMENT AS PRINTED COPY THAT HDFC CANNOT FETCH ITS CUSTOMERS THE RIGHT, JUDICIOUS & LEGIMATE JUSTICE BECAUSE IT WILL AFFECT TO GREAT EXTENT.BECAUSE IF YOU REALY GO THROUGH THE SEQUENCE, STUDY IT CRITICALY THEN TELL ME IS IT WORTH TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT ON PHONE ONLY JUST TO CONVINCE ME THAT MY CARD IS SENT ON MY CARE OF ADDRESS PLEASE FORGET THE BANK HAS NOT DONE ME A FAVOUR BUT THE OFFICIALS HAVE TRIED TO SAVE THEIR JOB DUE ON THE VERGE OF FIRED OFF DUE TO THEIR OWN MISTAKES.
MY HDFC GOLD CARD No. [protected] EXPIRED ON 30.11.2006
I BROKE IT & DROPEED IT IN THE ATM DROP BOX AT AMRAVATI WITH AN APPLICATION TO ISSUE NEW CARD .I DIDNOT GET THE CARD WHILE IT WAS SENT BECAUSE I WAS ON TOUR & MISSED THE DATES THE CARD WAS SENT I THINK TWICE AT AMRAVATI.I HAD TALKED WITH THE CONCERNED PEOPLE .THIS CORRECT TO VERIFY THAT THE CARD COULD NOT BE DELIVERED IN 2007.
AS DUE TO TRANSFER I SHIFTED TO JALNA & TRANSFERED MY ACCOUNTS TO JALNA HDFC BANK ( YOU CONFIRM THE DATE & TRANSFER TOO) THEN I CALLED ON THE CARD CALL CENTRE No. FOR ENQUIRING
1. THAT CAN I GET THE CARD ON THE ADDRESS I HAVE FOR MY HDFC ACCOUNTS . "REPLY WAS YES "
2.I CLEARLY TOLD THE LADY ON PHONE MY ADDRESS IS
P.S.PATIL
C/o ASHOK S TELANG
17, STATE BANK COLONY
KARWA NAGAR
JALNA 431203
I PURPOSELY ASKED HER THAT IS IT POSSIBLE TO DELIVER THE CARD ON THIS ADDRESS THE LADY REPLIED YES YOU JUST SEND US THE FAX .
I SENT THE FAX I HAVE COPY WITH ME .
THEN THERE FOLLOWED A SILENCE ZONE OF SOME 25 -30 DAYS WHERE I HAD TO AGAIN CALL TO ENQUIRE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DELIVERY OF CARD THAT TIME THE REPLY BLASTED OUT AT ME WAS DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THE CARD CANNOT BE DELIVERED AT C/o ADDRESS.
3.WHAT A POOR MAN LIKE ME CAN DO AGAINST THE GIANT BANK LIKE HDFC & ITS EMPLOYEES HAD TO REQUEST FREQUENTLY THEN I MET A CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE THE BESTOWMENT OF RELIEF THAT OF A GOD HE WAAS REALY INTELLIGENT BUT HIS MISTAKE WAS HE THOUGHT THE CUSTOMERS ARE REALY FOOLS .
HE ASKED ME SEND A FAX OR LETTER JUST OMMITING OUT THE C/o WORD FROM THE ADDRESS SO THAT HE CAN ARRANGE THE DELIVERY OF THE CARD .
BUT I WAS SUDDENLY SHOCKED AS I REALISE SENDING THE SAME DOCUMENT IN TWO TYPES IS EQUALY A FRAUD HENCE I PAID FEES TO ASK THE LEGAL PEOPLE IF I SEND THE FAX WITHOUT C/o WORD WON'T IT BE FRAUD OR FRADULENT ACT OF MINE ALL TOLD ME I WAS CORRECT SO CONVEYED THE GENTLEMAN THAT I DON'T WANT COMMIT A FRAUD .
ONE FINE MORNING A COURIER GUY BOUGHT THE CARD WHICH I POLITELY REFUSED TO ACCEPT AS I HAD INTIMATED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXECUTIVE THAT UNLESS YOU SEND ME THE DETAILS OF
1. THE DELIVERY OF CARD WILL BE AT XYZ ADDRESS & THE ADDRESS IS ACCEPTED BECAUSE TOMORROW SOME OTHER WISE EMPLOYEE OF THE BANK SHOULD NOT OPEN UP QUERRY TO PROVE HIS WORTH & CAUSE THE DEATH OF THE CUSTOMER.
2.WHAT ARE THE LIABILITIES OF BANK TOWARDS THE CUSTOMER FOR
TORTURING HIM CONTINUOUSLY ON PHONE
MISLEADING HIM & HIS QUERRIES
CAUSING SEVERE FRUSTATION TO THE CUSTOMER PURPOSEFULLY
CALLING THE CUSTOMER WITHOUT PRIOR APPOINTMENT AT ANY TIME
WHAT ABOUT THE LOSSES DUE TO THE 17000 OR SO RUPEES WHICH COULDN'T BE TURNED OVER DUE TO THE HDFC EMPLOYEES MISTAKE
3.IT WAS SURPRISING THAT I GET ALL THE MAILS CORRECTLY I GET THE PROMOTION OFFERS CORRECTLY ON THIS SAME ID AGAIN THERE WAS ENQUIRY IN REALY DESCENT WORDS THRICE BY SOME MADAM ABOUT MY EMAIL ADDRESS.
4.BEING A LIFE MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATION, CONSUMER CONSORTIUM & A TRUE SELFLESS WORKER FOR THE CONSUMERS / CUSTOMER'S RIGHTS I HAVE PUT MANY PEOPLE ON THE TASK TO STUDY AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE BANK CAN BE FETCHED TO THE PRESS AS PER MY WILL & THE RIGHT ENTRUSTED BY THE CONSTITUTION TO ME AS THE CITIZEN OF THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY INDIA.AS I DON'T WANT TO HIDE PLEASE BE INFORMED ON THIS ASPECT.
5. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MAESTRO WAS REALY KIND LIKE SANTA CLAUS TO PLEASE ME THAT THE BANK HAS ADDED FEW POINTS AS BONUS POINTS FOR THE CREDIT OF Rs 17000 .CONVEY MY THANKS TO HIM WITH A MESSAGE THAT I AM NOT A BEGGAR TO BE PLEASED FOR THE FEW POINTS I DON'T NEED THEM CAUSE I HAVE PERFORMED MY DUTIES & NOW I NEED MY RIGHTS .
I BELIEVE IN MISTAKES CAN BE FORGIVEN BUT BLUNDERS MUST BE PUNISHED .
6.FURTHER YOUR STAFF BELIEVES OR RATHER IS FUND OF DISCUSSING ISSUES ON PHONE ONLY PLEASE TELL THEM THAT THE CUSTOMERS HAVE OTHER WORKS LIKE WORKING TO EARN DUE TO WHICH THEY ARE ABLE TO AFFORD THE ONE WAY LEVIES OF THE BANK LIKE CHEQUE BOUNCING CHARGE, MINIMUM BALANCE CHARGE, HIGH VALUE CHEQUE CLEARING CHARGE AND HENCE THE HDFC EMPLOYEES SHOULD NOT DISTURB THEM WITHOUT PRIOR APPOINTMENT.
7.MY OFFER STILL OPEN IF THE PEOPLE DEALING WITH MY COMPLAINTS ARE GENUINE TO THE CAUSE THEN I AM READY TO BEAR THE
A] AIR TICKETS TO & FRO UPTO AURANGABAD FROM ANY DESTINATION IN INDIA
B] ONE FULL DAY STAY IN HOTEL RAMA AURANGABAD
C] AIR CONDITIONED TAXI SERVICE TO & FRO TO JALNA TO DISCUSS WITH ME ABOUT MY COMPLAINTS AND ONCE FOR GET ME RID OFF FROM THIS PHONE TORTURES WHICH HAS LED TO
1.IMPARING OF HEARING
2.CONTINUOUS HEAD ACHE .
3.INCREASE IN BP.
4.ALWAYS FRUSTATED MOOD AFFECTING MY DAILY WORK
5.BEARING TORTURES OF THE BANK PEOPLE HAS CHANGED MY WAY OF DEALING WITH PEOPLE THAT I HAVE STARTED FROWNING FREQUENTLY.
PLEASE FOR GOD SAKE ASK YOUR CALL CENTRE PEOPLE THAT PHONE ARE FOR TALKING FOR MINUTES & NOT HOURS .
THIS ALL AS TIME IS RUNNING OUT ABOUT THE CURRENT COMPLAINT SITUATION YET BE ASSURED I AM CONFIDENT THAT HDFC IS NOT A RESPONSIBLE BANK AS THE COMPLAINT OF GUNDAS COMING FOR RECOVERY WITHOUT ANY REASON AND ASKIN ME COME TO CHOWK WAS CONFIRMED IN PERSON WITH THE HDFC AMRAVATI BRANCH MANAGER IN 2004 YET NO REPLY SO MUCH RESPONSIBLE IS HDFC THE GREAT & ESTEEMED BANK OF INDIA .THE EMPLOYEES ARE IN ILLUSION THAT WHAT CUSTOMER CAN AFFECT THEIR GREAT STRENGTH OF THE BANK THEY ARE ALSO RIGHT .HENCE THE JUSTICE IS FLATLY DENIED I SAY LIKE THIS BECAUSE MAY I HAVE LEARNT IT WRONG IN MY CHILD HOOD THAT " JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED "
CERTAINLY HDFC HAS DENIED ME THE RIGHTFUL JUSTICE ALONGWITH THE GIFT OF TORTURES, FRUSTATION, FORCING ME TO LEAD TO COMMIT FRAUD UNKNOWINGLY, THE RECOVERY GUNDAS ASKING ME THAT WHEN I WAS NOT CAPABLE RATHER IN THEIR WORDS " SAALE TERI AUKAAT NAHI THEE TO CREDIT CARD KYO LIYA " HERE PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT MY AUKAT OR STANDING WAS SUBMITTED IN TERMS OF THE PAPERS AGAINST WHICH I WAS GIVEN THE CARD THEN WHO ARE THESE HULIGANS GUNDAS AS COLLECTION AGENTS TO THREAT ME ME IN SUCH WORDS AND YET AFTER CONFIRMATION IN PERSON FACE TO FACE ALSO INFORMING Mr SHAILESH WHO WAS LOOKING THE CARDS RECOVERY IN NAGPUR ALSO IT IS RIDICULOUS WHY THE AMRAVATI BARANCH MANAGER HAS NOT TAKEN CARE & CONVEYED ME THE ACTION TAKEN .

HDFC Bank harassing people who are no longer their customers

I had HDFC Credit Card some 2-3 years back. I cancelled the card as didn't need to pay the yearly charges that they had put on my card and i had another card free of annual charges... but HDFC Credit Card guys keep calling me and keep telling that i have some amount due to pay which is so ridiculous as never made any purchase... They keep adding yearly cards to the card that i cancelled and keep calling me... They are the most unprofessional bank i have ever had the misfortune to interact with...

Now again after more then 1 year these guys wake up and without any prior notice the blocked my account. and to a surprise today when i checked 6960 was again withdrawn from my acount by the credit card department FUND TRF DM-[protected]. I dont know how long i have to pay which I am not owing. I am running to and fro to get hold of customer care executive for the settelment but every time i am said this is not the right department and a new number is given to me which i am unable to get through. I emailed to HDFC 2-3 times but no response.

Woah!

Great article. I completely agree. I also know of people who are getting calls from so called Police officers, who are threatening the debtors to pay off the credit card dues. The debtors are being informed that there is a 'non-bailable' arrest warrant against them. However, if they (debtors) wish to reconcile, then by making a payment to the bank could solve everything within 15 minutes!

The purview / guidelines set by the Reserve Bank of India

(and being followed to the 'T' by HDFC bank)

The Professional way for the Collection Method by HDFC BANK :

The usual course of business to remind of payment obligation, follow-up calls and the professional method by HDFC,
the concerned Bank's representative initiates intimidating phone-calls to the victim's family in his absence by making unprofessional way of a routine payment follow-up call.

The concerned Bank pretend themselves some time senior police officer or some time a senior lawyer from Patiala Court .

The concerned Bank unleashes repeated threatening to the victim's wife as well as the entire family that they were coming to seal off the home (of the victim) in any moment of time.
They repeatedly scare the victim's family by saying that “ Right now, we are at Jamia Police Station so get the entire belonging out of home
within an hour and we are coming with a police to seal off the house”.

The concerned Bank calls the victim's home from the phone numbers (mentioned below).
HDFC Bank rushes to the victim's account (Saving Account : [protected]) and withdraws the entire Savings (Fund TRF-DM-[protected])on 23/11/1004 without serving any prior notice to the victim.
The boastful calls made by HDFC's Rep over the phone with threatening like "" I am in Jamia Nagar police Station with the court order for House-to be sealed. So get out of house immediately with your belongings or deposit the outstanding within 2 hours...
Those calls came from G I Dogra(claiming to be a senior Advocate, Phone NO: [protected] ) threatening to seal the home.
Similar calls made claiming to be from Tees Hazari Court (Phone NO :[protected], [protected]).
Again, a call was received claiming to be from Gurhgaon Police Station (Phone No: [protected]).

What a mockery! One of the call came from Sangeeta PS claiming herself to be a Senior Judge(Phone NO: [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected] ).

So I hope that when these guidelines adopted by HDFC BANK in this victim's case that is me, are referred to the RBI, these professional ways and professional methods will help RBI strengthen the Economy of the Banks concerned in a very HUMANE and HEALTHY way!

Please understand ! that I have fully and very well understood the guidelines set by RBI...and applied and followed by HDFC BANK?

Tactics Credit Card Companies Use to Get You to Pay More

Although the credit card industry earns more than one trillion every year, they aren't satisfied with that, and have adopted dubious tactics to further fatten their wallets. Late and over-the-limit fees now account for more than half of their revenues, so they like to encourage or trick customers into paying some sort of penalty fee. And they are now only getting away with it, but they keep raising their fees up and up -- just a few years ago a penalty fee was about $10. Now the average is $29.00. Consumer groups estimate that soon these fees will average $59.00.

Late and over-the-limit fees are not the only methods companies use to rake in trillions each year. There are also the credit insurance programs, universal default policies, dishonest marketing campaigns and other stupid card tricks. Many of the major issuers -- First USA (now Chase), Chase, Capital One, Providian (now owned by Washington Mutual), Citibank -- have been sued over allegations of unfair billing practices and accused of blatantly using tactics to cheat customers out of money. Some of these tactics are outlined below.

Not posting your payment on the day it's received -- Federal law requires credit card companies to post your payment on the date it is received. If they fail to do so, they cannot assess you late charges or added finance charges. Still, a common tactic most card issuers use is to post only those payments received by 9:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m. on a given date. Payments received at 9:01 a.m. are posted the next day despite the fact that all the major card issuers have payment processing centers that operate 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Best way to fight back: Send in your payment at least 10 days before the due date. If you can't do that for one reason or another, arrange to make your payments electronically by signing up at your credit card issuer's website so you can quickly zap a payment to them and they can't claim that they didn't receive your mailed payment until after the due date. It is interesting to note that almost all of the major credit card banks used to allow customers to quickly zap a payment to them via Paypal.com free of charge. Of course, this must have put a big dent in their late fee revenue so some of them stopped allowing this (Providian and First USA to name two).

Tricking you in to paying late -- Federal law requires that credit card issuers mail you your statement at least two weeks before the due date, so companies have to resort to other tactics to get you to pay late. You know that your credit card payment is due on the 25th of the month, or do you? Your issuer might suddenly change it to the 20th of each month to try and get you to mail it in late. If it's received late, they will slap you with a $39.00 late fee. If it's late two or more times, they can legally increase your interest rate dramatically, to as much as 29%. At various times, several credit card issuers have even resorted to not mailing out statements at all to encourage customers to pay late under the theory that "it is a courtesy that we mail statements out, not a requirement." [First USA actually used that as an excuse once and lost many customers as a result.]. Best way to fight back: Always open your monthly statement immediately upon receipt and check the due date. Don't be surprised if it has suddenly moved up five days and you received your statement "late". You might have to immediately write a check and get it in the mail that day to allow at least seven days for it to get to them before the due date. You don't want it to arrive at 9:01 on the due date do you? If it does, you will be assessed a late fee.

Penalizing you for carrying a big balance -- If you carry a high balance on your credit card month-to-month, don't be surprised if you one day notice a small paragraph on your monthly statement that informs you your interest rate is going to increase from 7% to 28% next month. What the credit card company doesn't tell you when you sign up for the card with the low interest rate is that they almost always raise the interest rate dramatically on people who never pay down a high balance on the credit card or carry big balances with other credit card companies. It doesn't matter to them that you have always paid your bills on time and are never late. You can be a customer of theirs for 20 years and never be late or miss a single payment, but one day they will decide that you are no longer a good customer and raise your rate to 28%. [Citibank is notorious for doing this. Every time I see one of their ads in a magazine or TV about how much they love and respect their customers, I want to throw up.]

Credit card holder wins suit worth Re 1 lakh

The Statesman 29.5.07

Arunima Ghosh

KOLKATA, May 29: Credit cards may be a status symbol to some but for a vast majority of consumers irregularities in credit card bills can cause a great deal of harassment. The recent victory of a credit card holder against a leading bank will be a boost to such consumers who are regularly harassed by their banks.

A city consumer court has come down heavily on ICICI bank by slapping a fine of Rs 1 lakh, the highest compensation imposed by the court so far for discrepancy in credit card operations. The court of Calcutta District Forum, Unit-II, president Mr TK Ghosh and members Mr H Bhattacharya and Ms R Acharya pulled up the credit card division of the bank for recovering a loan that was never received by the customer. The bank allegedly asked the consumer to repay loan installments along with interest including late fees for a loan amounting to Rs 33,500, supposedly issued by the bank, which was neither solicited nor asked for or received by Mr Kalyan Kumar Sur. The court ordered the bank to pay Mr Sur a litigation cost of Rs 5000 along with compensation worth Rs 1 lakh.

Mr Sur was taken by surprise when his credit card statements suddenly displayed interest charges. He complained that bank did not respond to his repeated e-mails when he asked the latter to provide him with loan details. Instead the bank allegedly harassed him further by sending loan collectors to his residence.

The clause 5.1(b) under Reserve Bank of India’s credit card operation guidelines reads: “Unsolicited loan or other credit facility should not be offered to the credit card customers. In case any credit card facility is extended without the consent of the recipient, the credit sponsoring bank will be liable to pay such penalty as may be considered appropriate.” During the court proceedings the bank failed to substantiate with written documents that it had received a loan request from Mr Sur. When contacted ICICI Bank spokesperson in Mumbai said: “We are aware about this case and the bank might appeal before the state commission against the order passed by the city consumer court.”

HDFC Bank personal loans brings you one step closer to your nightmares!

It is a little strange to see that hdfc website address exits. As per their manager, it does not. I had the misfortune to take a personal loan with hdfc, my first encounter and thankfully the last. I, noman syed had taken a personal loan with hdfc on may06 and have been thinking of repaying it from june 06,... Reason no customer service (Cant say bad cant term what was provided in name of customer service as service). On my first opportunity I took another loan from a better bank and called hdfc to close the loan and then life gave me the chance to get in touch with the worst, incompetent, unqualified, rude and in human service agents ever. So I thought maybe I should go to the branch and talk to a hdfc manager. I had more pain in store for me. I told I wanted to close the loan dated 12/02/2007 and had the money to do that and was given a closing amount letter, which was incorrect as it had not calculated my dues correctly... They showed osd (Out standing just in case the one who is reading this mail doesn’t understand banking like all hdfc employees) for a payment that I had made on september 06 which they claimed has mysteriously gone missing, it got credited to a different account, is hdfc still using ledgers and balance books? Was informed that since it has got credited to a different account (This is after submitting more proof then charles sobhraj did in his murder trial) that it cant be credited to my account as hdfc doesn’t have the provision to credit it to the correct account (Books may have got burnt) and an approval (from may be prime minister of mars) will be needed to do that. Then I got the pleasure to met a specific calling himself human in hdfc called mihir shroff, claiming to a collections manager (If he is a manager I am shahruk khan). The manager shroff took 38 days to tell me nothing can be done, manager shroff informed me that he is giving me a waiver of rs.6689 (This is the emi that I had paid and have proof for) as if he is done a great act of kindness on me and manager shroff then told me that the mistake was all mine because the loan account number on the cheque was incorrect (Strange it was filled by the collections guy, did come to the wrong place or are their more noman syeds, I have heard that there are 7 people with the same face in the world at one given time, may be he got confused) and manager shroff then asked me that I will have to pay rs.4000 (Approx) more, for the 38 days as interest when he was getting to trunk call the prime minister in mars (For the approval) manager shroff also has to audacity to tell me that he cant do anything and to call customer service (if hdfc has ever heard anything that sounds like it) resolve any further issue, when I told him that if a manager cant help what will an agent do, said he cant do anything, not a surprise, then when I asked if there a website address where I can complain he said no it doesn’t exits, cool which training outsource do you guys in hdfc use. Then I (Good customer wrong bank) agreed to pay anything just to get rid of hdfc and manager shroff (Anyways we in islam believe in charity. This time to hdfc) please continue the good work hdfc, get more customers to play with and earn more, anyways hdfc slogan says “personal loans brings you one step closer to your nightmares”.

Wish to place on record my total dissatisfaction towards HDFC housing loan.

To begin with in the month of February I had made an inquiry on your phone banking number about home loan and asked for an executive to visit my residence to collect my required documents. Unfortunately for one month there was nobody who turned up. In the meantime I decided on my property and then once again on 16th March called the home banking number and requested for a person to come to my house. I was told that an executive would be coming on 17th March. I decide to stay at home for the entire day. But to my disappointment there was nobody who turned up. On 18th March (Sunday) and 19th March (Gudi Padwa) I felt it was unethical to call and bother the executives. On 20th March I once again call and speak to a telephone executive by the name of Survarna who assures me that the person will come by 1 pm. She did give me the person’s name and contact number (Prashant – [protected]) At 2 pm I call Prashant on his cell and ask what has happened why has he not come. He answers back that he had not got any instructions about the same. My patience had reached its limit I once again called the department and was put on to Mr. Pritak Shah, who instead of listing to my query was telling one of his colleagues that “there is a irritating person on the other line” to which his colleagues replies to disconnect the phone, which he very promptly does. My tolerance level was at its core, I once again call and speak to a Senior Executive Ms. Anita, who was very courteous and after her assures I rest assured that the matter would be taken ahead. Mr. Pritak arrives at around 5 pm to my residence to collect the documents. After a small apology he collects my documents and let me know that HDFC will give me call in 4 days time to update me on the status. Today it is the 9th day but no reply.

The reason why I had chosen HDFC for my loan was because I had heard that they are very prompt and quick with hassle free attitude, which I was looking forward. But unfortunately my experience was that not only are your staff slow, inefficient and rude but also lack common sense that on a telephonic conversation if you keep a person on hold the phone does pick up the entire conversation that you and your colleague will have. After two days that I had called HDFC I had called a nationalized bank and to my surprise they seem faster, more polite and must more discipline in their approach. We Indian think that multinationals works fast and so go with them, but my experience is just the opposite.

On 29th March 2007 I was driven to pen down my complaint regarding your organization and its employees and till date the complaints do follow. Further to my below mentioned mail, Mr. Menon did call and apologized for the inconvenience but in spite of which blunders were created at every stage.

The evening of the call of Mr. Menon I received a call from Mr. Pratik who told me that I should have not gone to the Senior Management for petty issue. (Once again I was shocked to see the check of the person). I received a call from HDFC saying that my loan is sanctioned and I will receive the letter, I received the letter only yesterday (9th April) 13 days after my loan was sanctioned.

Further to which I receive a mail from Mr. Nitin who introduces himself as the Branch Manager of Parel division and ask me to call him on 10th April (today) in the morning when I give him a call he just barges about the details of my flat, not understanding what I am trying to say. He just keeps insisting that I should mention where I purchased the flat and what am I doing about the same. I tried to tell him that my house is still to be registered and once done I will personally come and submit the papers and the time given is 3 months, but with little consideration.

Best publicity that a company can look at is “good will” through word of mouth, through my experience I feel sad that I have a very negative attitude with your institute and will take this experience to every body whom I come in contact with. You’ll being the top management I felt that you’ll should know about it and take keen steps to rectify the same, as I believe that there are many customers with similar experience as mine.
