HDFC Bank hdfc cc dept cheating customers

I have taken HDFC CC in 2005 and i am paying the amount that i have used in monthly basis... i never get any single statements stating that i have to pay this much or i have paid this amount... nothing... i thought that i settled used amount... but recently after one year i got a mail that i have to pay 41000/- and they hold my funds of saving account... i responded to the mail i got from HDFC CC Dept manager Amal Prakash, but i didn't get any replays from them... at least i called them he said that his colleague replied on that mail but they didn't... he said he will give 50% interest cut on the amount and i told him that recently one of your representative called me and said i have to pay 9000/- only and the next day i have paid 3600/- and with in one month how could it possible that the amount increased to 41000/-... manager said that if you give me the person name you can pay only the amount said to you by the person... i told him that i couldn't call you always please reply back to my mails as i was staying out of country.

Now they have taken the amount(16219/-) from my saving account without intimating me... if they would have told me the exact figure then i would have paid them immediately... i was keep on mailing them regarding the statements for the amount they said... but no reply from them... he asked me the contact number i gave him the contact number but no reply... everyday i was waiting for their reply... this is very ridiculous by HDFC CC Dept and take this example that they are doing fraud to the customers... they are cheating the customers!

Dear Sir

I had ICICI credit card balance payment to pay and i am paying regularly upto my limit without fail and I was very happy about that.

Then, one day, a lady from your bank started making a call around 15 or 16 times and i refused, but, finally, at 17th time, I agreed regarding BT, COC, Smart pay.

For all these about said three things I am wrongly intimated all the rules and regulatings and payment structures regarding theses three..

I was cheated by HDFC bank through that stupid girl.

I know that girl and her phone number. She cheated from HDFC Nungambakkam office.

I cm cheated through 2 things..

What she said is, for sll these three, I will get one bill, in this if i paid Rs.1000/- means, this will be taken as

First, for COC EMI, then Smart pay payment and remaining amount to BT.

Also, she never said that,for everymonth for COC there is an interest..

For this, I asked her, how shall i get bill, for this, what she told know, you will get single bill with all these three as for eg., I saravana stores if we buy 10 intems means, finally we will get single bill with all 10 intems. ..

One, regarding BT, What she said was, for first three months, there is no interest and from fourth month this remaining BT will be converted to EMI.

Second one is, regarding Smart pay, As per her words, here, if I pay Rs.1000/- means, first take COC emi and entire remaining amount to BT, and donot take for Smart pay payment, and after completion of BT only, this come for consideration and upto that time, what amount paid by HDFC towards smart pay payment is accumulated and then, I have to pay that amount with interest.

CONCLUSION:
-----------

As I was cheated by HDFC..

As I was wrongly informed all the details...

right now my position is., I am not that much rich to pay the amount which accumulated and finally to pay for smart pay and all...that is for cheated 2 things..

I will what amount i can monthly without fail on or before due date..this is my words..

I dont want to cheat HFC as you cheated me...

What I want is...youmust must act upon the words from that girl's words..

else.

If you refuse, and if you say that girl's words are wrong and we cannot like that means..

No problem.,

I never pay even a single paisa...OK.,

I will face what ever may be the consequences and also at the same time HDFC must face the consequences from me.

We will both face, I DOESN'T MINE.

ONE MORETHING, I APPLIED FOR SMART PAY, IMMEDIATELY, URGENTLY CANCEL THAT ONE., IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN FOR THE DATE IMMEDIATELY AFTER I APPLIED DATE..MIND IT !

OK.,

Dear My Credit Card No.[protected] received on 19th Aug'2014, and I have used this card on 21st Oct'2014 Dhanteras day at Jewelers shop, to my surprise the card did not work and I have to face a very situation at the shop. I have requested the manager to keep the jewelry, and called customer care, they said the Dinners Club International credit card will work on selected outlets.
I have told your executive clearly that I need a card with EMI facility when he came to our college for the card.
Hence I request you to cancel my existing card and send a new card with VISA or Master Card which are easy to access and the transactions converted into EMI's., at the earliest.

My first application verification was done and after that one of your banking officers says that the applications lost. After one month I have applied again for credit cards as per the banks instructions. Again all verifications and enquiries were finished and I have received a final call from the department saying that, this is the final call and the card will be get approved.

Hi All,
I agree with all of you.

I am relating my case. I had a HDFC bank CC from March 2005 and I had always made regular payments on my card. However this July I had a major health issue and also had a divorce. I have been unable to pay them since August 2007. I wrote to them in October telling them that I can pay of the outstanding in one year if they stop charging interest and convert it into a loan. I copied RBI also on it but they said that would not happen.

Last week they put on hold Rs 12000 that I had in my savings account on hold. When I called them up they said they have done it. I approached RBI and police to get some relief but it seems that they pay them bribes as I got no help from them.

Now what do customers like us do. Do we have a way out? Is the government listening.

Me too faced the same problem. I stopped using CC after i clear all my dues,but didn't block it becoz i wanted to use that in future for online bookings.
After that we swifted the place... After 5/6 months i started getting calls from HDFC representatives. That i have to pay 15k.

but i didn't purchase anything. I refused to pay that amount... and started avoiding their calls... then many times they forced me to pay that amount... when i told that somebody has misused my card... i dint spend that amount... then they told we are closing this case... Again after 2 months i got a call from them, asking me to pay 6k... but i didn't pay and didn't receive their call. Again after 3/4 months they started calling to my home,giving threatenings to my parents... will send arrest warrants to my parents and to me... like that they started abusing us... Can u someone please suggest me what i need to do now...

I have also got suffered of these people. Representatives of hdfc payment collections is very rude. They force me to make the payments using dadagiri type language. They talk to their boss from my home very loudly. I have been regularly paying whatever they charge without any inquiry, because i do not have time to check, because of my work.

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.

HDFC Bank overcharging after disbursement!

I recently got a shock 0f my life when the people i trusted for business turned their version, even now i see the discrepancies but they cannot justify the claim. I had taken a quote for a Car loan from HDFC representative who is a part of the showroom. (Dt 17 feb 2007)

I had been put a lot of pressure to log a file so that the interest rates for the loan shall be locked , hence i did it asap. On approval of the loan amount i received a sms of the loan account number and call stating that the loan account has been created. (23 feb 07)

Now comes the pressure for disbursement, I was not fully ready with the down payment hence told them to wait for some days, the reason i was being pressurized was to change in rate of interest and stamp duty & processing fee.

Disbursement instructions where given on 1 march and after 10 days when my car is ready with the registration number, the representatives call me up to say that i need to cough up with a additional Rs. 3400/- due to change in bank interest rate. Stamp duty n processing was promised to 1400 now the new rates are 2100.

When i contacted the bank, the rate of interest applied to me is 11.50% while the representative is demanding 14.75%.

Hope someone can help me with this kind of banking terminologies.

i recently got a bad experience while dealing for a car loan with HDFC bank.HDFC bank is providing loan @ same interest as with SBI bank, but the installments on calculation showing a difference of Rs.10, 000, above of all the agent (authorised by HDFC bank) deal like a mafia DON to the customer when i asked about the difference they are charging to me.when i decided not to take loan from HDFC bank because of no communication as well because of misbehaviour the agent came to the car showroom to stop my delivery of the car like a MAFIA.

so in this competitive world HDFC bank hiring such kind of people.

HDFC Bank varying and in-convenient ecs dates

I have taken a personal loan from HDFC and filled an ECS mandate form after loan approval. But the bank representative who took all the forms and completed documents did not tell me about the ECS date.

In the month of repayment of first EMI, I suddenly received an SMS quoting that my first EMI through ECS was due on 7th day of that month. Please note that this date is not convenient for me as all my funds and salary transfer on 7th itself or by 10th day of the month.

Moreover, the ECS transaction is being held on different dates. Once it was held on 8th, once on 9th and other time on 7th day of the month. Due to this discrepancy I could not deposit money in my account and finally I was penalized by my bank (ICICI) with which I had my salary account.

When I contacted HDFC customer care, I was informed that this date could only be decided at the time of form filling when my loan was approved. So, the customer should have right to choose the appropriate date as per his/her convenience. But the banks are not giving that right/ information to the customers and making them fool like HDFC bank did to me.

Dear all,
Take my sincere advise. Do not open account with HDFC, you may consider closing the bank account instead. I hold an account with them at the Dwarka branch in New Delhi. believe me for the past 3-4 months I have tried in vain to get my address changed with the bank. I have posted two requests with all documentry proofs, followed it up with the grievence cell and the bank manager Mr Pathak on e mails and telephones, sent further documentry proofs on assurance that the job is already over. only to be told by the bank SORRY...START ALL OVER AGAIN.I still remember how the agent from the bank pleaded and begged to convince me open an account with HDFC.I am yet to come across a more insensitive organisation.

For last 5 weeks I am getting calls to pay credit card dues of amounts ranging from 3000 to 40, 000 Rupees. I have repeated requested transaction details in email or on phone or in person through HDFC executive but these requests were not fulfilled. My email ID was taken but no statement was sent. It seems I am being targeted for harrasement. Today I got call from a lady called Khushi from +[protected] around 12:58 pm who claimed an outstanding amount of 40, 000. She said her Head from Bangalore will join a conference call. Later another lady called saying sorry it was not 40, 000 but 4, 000. I again expect HDFC to not harras by multiple calls, provide facts and then claim amounts. The rudeness of this entire pattern of behaviour has shocked me and I intend to lodge complaints with RBI, Police or any other authority that will take swift and stringent action against HDFC bank.
Thanks

HDFC Bank is the worst bank in this world. They ask for so many documentation before loan approval. And they deduct money from your savings account without your approval for your credit card dues and do not even reverse it.

Very disgusting on part of hdfc bank that even despite cancellation of my personal loan account no. [protected] and return of loan cheque of rs.2.7 lacs to hdfc bank vide email below, ecs (rs. 9,663/-) for june'07 has been debited today which only shows how hdfc bank is committed towards it's customers.

I was still waiting for refund of my processing fees of rs. 6000/- which was wrongly debited on false premises by hdfc bank after releasing loan amounts in excess of what was applied & high processing fees without any paper work whatsoever as per email below and now ecs has also been debited

Bank is therefore strongly advised to return amounts of rs. 6000/- + rs. 9663 /- in cash which were debited and return 8 no. Cheques again falsely taken by hdfc bank immediately within two days or else i would be forced to move consumer court out of shear case of mental harassment and agony and pain hdfc ban has put me through and continuing to do so

HDFC Bank unnecessary delay in personal loan processing and unprofessional handling of verification process

I hold a salary account at Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Bangalore, India. I am working with Unisys Global Services-India, Purva Premier, 135/1, Residency Road, Bangalore-560 025 since Sep 2006 and my account no. is "[protected]" .

I had applied for a personal loan for Rs. 1,00,000.00 (One Lakh Only) in mid January 2007.It took HDFC more than a month's time to process my application and even on 20th Febraury'07 the status still remains uncleared.The excuse they gave me was that I had not provided them with enough details on my residential address in Bangalore and due this they had not been able to process my application. If the banking professionals are not able to locate a house in a posh locality like Indira Nagar in Bangalore (the address was the same as given on the Rental Agreement) and still they could not locate the house even after my giving them proper guidance to the route to my house. It is certainly not my mistake.

The best part is even after they had visited my house after I had to personally escort their representative on 17th February 2007. Even after their physical verification of my residential address at No.3,Appaiah Reddy Palaya,Double Road, Near ESI Hospital, IndiraNagar, Banagalore-560038 I again get a called 19th Feb'07 from HDFC Bank wherein another executive calls up saying he is from HDFC and is in Indiranagar and would like to visit my house for verification. This made me lose my temper and I replied stating that I am no longer interested in any loan from their Bank and they should stop bothering me, since it was probably their 25th call to me asking for verification.

Its really sad to know that a Bank like HDFC verifies so many details on a loan application for Rs One Lakh that they even went for physical verification at my Permanent address where my parents stay (Delhi: 20/67, Lodhi Colony, New Delhi-110003) and made lot of inquiries about me that they even asked questions like " How many rooms are their in the house". Believe me legally also till my parents sign any documents no company can compel my parents to make payments on my behalf (so the exercise was useless I think) . HDFC considers UNISYS Global Services-India a good company and since I had asked a loan for just One Lakh ( keep in mind that my Gross Pay Package at Unisys is 4.75 Lakhs and the monthly take home salary is around 36,000/- .) I do nopt see any reason why it took them more than one month and even than they had not approved my loan.

The had literally harassed me making calls to me, asking me to fill their application forms again and again. Giving verification calls. They even went to the extent of asking for my MBA certificate. (I have no clue what does a bank has to do with an applicant's educational certificates which only your employer needs).They had my salary slips of Unisys, my experience certificates, my appointment letters of places/companies I had worked at. It was really a painful ordeal for me dealing with HDFC for a small amount that it has made me so irritated that I finally decided to bring this process to an end by asking the Bank that I am no longer interested in their loan ( On 19th Feb'07).

Believe me it was the most painful experience I ever had with any bank.

HDFC Bank credit card cheat!

I owned a credit card with HDFC in 2005 and i have surrendered the card in the same year. After one year my saving account was put on hold by HDFC credit card department saying i had to pay Rs.5000/- to continue have access to my savings account.

I never had any outstanding payment when i surrendered the card. After one year i get a letter that i have a outstanding payment of Rs.5000/-. This is ridiculous... HDFC is cheating its own customers.

The purview / guidelines set by the Reserve Bank of India

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

Thanks for informing the real professional method chosen by HDFC Bank to grow in the market.

I, myself and my entire family were also victimised by HDFC Bank.
I want to share my bitter experiences and trouble caused by HDFC Bank in a Professional way following the rule set by RBI.

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 vey well understood the guidelines set by RBI...and applied and followed by HDFC BANK?

So this is the professinal attitude of HDFC Bank.

I am a user of HDFC credit card for at least 05 years and I have followed the rules of the bank. Last month I did the payment by cheque but as per ICICI bank message payment could not be done due to drawer's signature. Today I got a call of Mr. Amit from HDFC bank collection center (Phone No. 011-[protected]). He behaved with me very badly and right now I am feeling ashamed that I am having the credit card of HDFC Bank. Although manager form collection center apologized for his behavior but I would like to mention that it will not make difference to your bank I will definitely close this at the earliest and I will also try to take this matter in the media. Further I would like to mention that If anything wrong happens to me or to my family, HDFC Bank and Mr. Amit will be responsible for that.

I have similar experiences with HDFC Credit Card. They solicited me and persuaded me to accept their credit card in July 2005. They sent me an introductory promotional offer of 5 % cash back on all purchases for one month. Their letter did NOT mention any upper limit on the cash back. I made purchases of Rs. 21,000/- in the first month. I paid the bill in full. Two months later they gave me a cash back of only Rs. 125/-. They say that there was an upper cap which they had not mentioned earlier.

Can any one advise on how to contact the ombudsman or the procedure for going to consumer redressal forum.

I am facing the similar issue. HDFC rarely sends the statement to me. Even without that based upon my purchases, i was paying the minimum amount due every month till which i stopped when it became clear that the amount is stagnant and increasing. I called HDFC several times with the assurance that it will be taken care of. The card expired in Dec-06 and I refused to accept the new card send by HDFC after which they send the card to an address in Delhi where I was staying earlier. This shows the deceit nature of the HDFC. They somehow wanted the new card to be taken so that the account can continue. I started getting calls from collection agents. I wanted to do a settlement. They told me the amount would be 26 k without any explanation on how did they come to 26 K as settlement. My bills shows a total sum of 20 k only. No explanation form HDFC. The third party agents started calling and using abusive languages. I filed an FIR in Bangalore and contacted the RBI appointed ombudsman. The investigation is still underway. I used to get call from 080-[protected].

I request all the people to come together so that we can have an effective forum against this.

I have received a balance transfer cheque from your side to my ICICI Bank Credit Card with number: [protected] for Rs.10, 000/- received this July ’2007. The amount is not credited to my account and I’ve also lost the cheque advice sent by you with the cheque. Now I enquired the collection staff representing ICICI Bank and they have told that the amount is wrongly credited by HDFC Bank because the account number entered in the cheque is not yours and for clarification they are asking the proof of the balance transfer. Kindly do the needful at the earliest.

HDFC Bank rude & impolite behavior at the hdfc help desk

I am fade up of your services. Day by day they are getting worst. Everyday new problems are occuring. My a/c is salary a/c where in I can keep zero balnace while I am getting the messages that your a/c balance is low it should be minimum 5000. My salary is regularly credited my a/c, then why I am receiving such messages? For this information I called on customer care number, the customer care executives do not give proper infomation always they say we dont have thisinfo or they say we will call you later for this info but I never receive any call from them. When I said I will complain about all this they guys proudly say that, my name is this you can complain. Such rude behaviour will not be taken by us. We are not getting proper information plus the customer care executive are so rude and we dont feel like calling there. If am I not get proper information of my a/c and net banking service status, I will close my a/c and will post my all the complains in news papers.in my company there are around 40-50 a/c in hdfc but due to your poor services we are planning to change our bank.

Kindly see to it as soo as possible.

HDFC Bank bankers robbery!

I want to put my views and opinions about HDFC bank and my horrible experiences that one may doesn't want to go through. I have a very pathetic experience with HDFC two wheeler loans and the issue still remains unresolved by them. In November 2004, I had taken a two wheeler loan from HDFC bank which made me a proud owner of my bike. I have been a loyal customer to them and have never defaulted in any of my payments and have never done it in my life. We all know how important our credit history is to us.

My loan account number is 879160 and my name is Mr. Kuchi Venkata Subbarao. I do not stay in India currently and so may not be able to take timely appropriate action against these crooks. I have my parents staying in India who have to go through the harassment made by the bankers. As we know that two wheeler loans are only given if we provide post dated cheques of the amount required to be given to the bank. All my installments have gone through smoothly except for one in the month of May 2005. The reason for the same not going through was due to signature mismatch.

To the best of my knowledge I have only one signature which I make wherever required. However, the very next month there was a phone call made to my place and asking to make an alternate payment with late fees. Since I was not there that time, my parents had to make cash payment to the person appointed by HDFC for collection. Nevertheless, after making payment a receipt was handed over to my parents saying that the payment was then cleared. Till today I was living in complete peace and the loan was closed and the last installment got debited in the month of October 2006.

All of a sudden today my parents receive a letter dated 18 November 2006, using the extreme harsh language and threaten to have the bike confiscated and auctioned to recover the amount due from me at my cost. After having a word with the customer service (harassment) executive, I realized that the letter was in respect of the installment not received by them in May 2005 and I should be really glad to the bank for their early response for which i have already made an alternate payment. Surprisingly the letter also used words like "instead of repeated reminders i failed to make the payment" where as there was no single correspondence sent to me at my address. I was promised a reply within 3 days by the executive but there is no reply till date even after 5 days.

Following is a list of my concerns and will be very grateful if you can take it forward to the person responsible for the blunder.
a) Why don’t they have complete details in their systems if the payment was collected by their own representative?
b) If it was to do with an installment of May 2005, were they sleeping till now?
c) If they had a system saying that the payment was not made for that month, why was there no correspondence sent or phone call made to me till now about this?
d) Why did the letter use words like "instead of repeated reminders" when there was no single letter sent or a phone call made to me.
e) While talking to the customer service rep. I was asked if you have the receipt? I said I had the receipt but never expected you to come back so late asking me for it. Am I wrong if ask you to produce the receipt of your class tenth examination fees? Can I expect it to be preserved for me?

I do not expect my parents to go through any inconvenience just because i am not there to handle the situation especially when we have cleared all our dues and have no liabilities on us.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hereby express my deep dissatisfaction I hold currently with HDFC as its account holder after a long compromise on the bank's attitude. But i should say the customer service departments attitude had been terribly disappointing and very irritating almost at every encounter I had with the bank.

To start with I am an salary account holder of HDFC; not because I had a genuine natural interest in HDFC but because the organization that I work with had tie up with this new private bank. I had no option but to open a salary account with HDFC.And when I was opening the account there was enough pressure on me to get a credit card as well as it if life time free and I happened to sign it to avid the through follow ups to 'take the card'. And that’s when my problems started with the bank. (Details of the credit card - I do no feel comfortable revealing online but on your contact to my personal e-mail Id, I will be free to disclose the same)

In btwn Aug - Sept 2006 - I opened the HDFC credit card.

In Dec 2006 : I had a 'stolen & replacement' fraud on my credit card .

When I called the customer care, there were of least help initially because they were hardly enquiring as to what has happened instead sounded suspicious with me- which was funny. They were however at least kind enough to tell me the shop names where the card was used. Along with my husband, I did the initial investigation (being worked with the fraud analysis dept) and with the help of the shopkeeper, we were able to identify who did it. WE CALLED THE BANK GUYS and asked them to deal it further 'their way' now that we know what happened. One executive by name 'Mahesh' has come to my home and I have told him very clearly that - ''PLEASE CLOSE MY CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT''. He said IT WILL BE DONE once I sign the fraud declaration, which the bank has sent to me couple of weeks later and I have signed it & sent them back. In 2 days of time. FROM THEN, I HEARD NOTHING FROM THE BANK FROM THEN. When the fraud happened in Dec 2006, I roughly remember the total due on the card was app. 33000.00 Rs 30000.00 was fraudulent which I have recovered from the fraudster with the help of the agent. However the rest app. 3000 (I hardly remember) was due from my side. As it was Christmas time I have requested the guys to come and collect the payment the next month i.e, January 2007. IT NEVER HAPPENED. There is absolutely no resp from the bank re my request from Jan to June 2007. When I get the statement I very clearly told them that I won't pay the extra charges for no fault of mine.

In June 2007 - I had an assignment to go to LONDON for few months on business. Before going, I have called up the bank and spoke to 'swapna', I guess - and told her that I wont be available in India for quite some time so please send somebody to my home so that I can make the payment and even if i am gone I am leaving the money behind, please collect. The girl was happy and so was I. BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED. I retuned Dec 2007.

January 2008, I get a call that the amount is due !? I call up the customer care and they apologised and asked me to make a 1000rs payment and the account will be closed. I did it the same month.

This is May 2009 - almost 2 years of my request to 'CLOSE THE ACCOUNT AND SETTLE IT'. In spite the guys never turned up to collect the amount, they went on adding the charges for these 2 years and at last made up the amount now close to some 5000.00 rs, which is ridiculous.

When I speak with the customer care (Shalini and Ms lata) - they are hardly aware of the facts because they don’t have a track of my record. They only told me that the card was 'PERMENANTLY SUSPENDED?! Which was a surprise to me. And then they divert me to 'Collections'. And the girl that spoke to me is the most 'un-empathetic', un-apologetic' and stubborn girl ever bluntly throwing the 'attitude' that she can do nothing and I have the make the total payment !? Repeating the same statement word to word like a feeling less machine with absolute no consideration to what a customer would go through!

This is totally BAD

FIRST : EVEN AFTER SIGNING THE DOC, THE BANK DIDN’T CLOSE MY ACCOUNT.
SECOND: I DON’T HAVE THE ACCOUNT AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR ME TO MAKE ONLINE PAYMENTS
THIRD: I WORK 6 DAYS A WEEK AND I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO MAKE PAYMENT BY WALKING INTO BANK's BRANCH.
FOURTH: MANY REQUESTS ASKING THE GUYS TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND COLLECT THE TOTAL PAYMENT WAS NEVER CONSIDERED.

I work with multi-national bank and my work involves a lot of travelling (internally and abroad). I work 6 days a week and have only Sunday as a holiday. I have told this matter to the bank guys a hundred times already, whenever I call them or whenever they call me but still the calls and chasing wont stop. Often, I had calls from the collection guys of the bank 'reminding' me to make the payment - enough embarrassing and annoying, when you were to be 'reminded' in the middle of a busy day.

I request you most humbly please consider this and the many times of embarrassment the bank would have passed me through, not only by not acknowledging my requests but by continuously chasing for the amount which I am not liable for!?

Appreciate your quick response.

HDFC is so pathetic that any of the ATMs never have pay-in slips. I live in Noida and unfortunately my company's salary account is with this bank. I needed to deposit a simple cheque and for that I checked all the ATMs in Noida. Like a stone age, none of them had pay-in slip forms. I wonder how we would rate such service on a scale of 1 to 10, maybe -5 ! I dont expect the bank authorities to improve this as they have never done it before but if they do, they may save the remaining customer database that they have from switching to other competent banks or even rather government banks.

HDFC Bank credit card not received!

This is to bring your kind attention towards my problem. HDFC Bank has issued a Credit Card in my name but I never received the Credit card. The Bank agents handed over the card to someone else without matching my signature and without informing the issuance of card.

On 12-10-06 and HDFC Bank Agent informed me that an amount of Rs.9975/- is debited from my account through Credit Card purchase. Earlier only calls for address verification were received from Bank but Bank didn’t informed me when it issued the card. The Bank also unblocked the card for transaction without my permission, which resulted into the deduction of above-mentioned amount from my salary account.

After personal discussion with Credit Card Manager Mr. Rohit Saxena, (Credit Card’s Division 5th and 6th floor, Ansal Classic Tower, Rajourie Garden) told me that the Card was sent through speed post. But no parcel received through post.in reply to the above complaint to HDFC Bank Card Division, P.O. Box 399, Anna Salai, Chennai. I received a letter stating that all the transaction incurred on my account before reporting blocking of card is payable by me.

I had requested Customer Care to block the Card only after knowing that the purchase has been done on my account. I have also requested Bank to refund all my money, as I was totally not informed about the issuance of card. This is the complete responsibility of the Bank agent to inform the customer about the issuing of card. Also the Bank has not matched the signatures on any receipt.

I have also filed the case in Consumer Court Noida but still the Bank hasn’t show me any proof of receiving the Card by me or the other person. So, think twice before you go to HDFC Bank!
