ICICI DIRECT — Poor Customer Service

I wanted to open a online trading account. Since i have had a pretty good experience with ICICI Bank for almost 3 years, i chose ICICI Direct for opening the online account.

However, it has been several weeks since I first registered with ICICI Direct. My account is still not opened. Despite repeated reminders, I have been unable to get through them.

Lastly, i get a call from some courier company that my documents from ICICI Direct are going to be returned unless i go to their office to collect them.

icicidirect.com — FAILURE IN SERVICE

DEAR SIR/MADAM
IT SEEMS THAT ICICI MANAGEMENT ARE JOKING WITH ME. LONG AGO IN SEPTEMBER 2007 THEIR REP CAME SAT FOR ONE HOUR, GOT THE FORMS SIGNED BY BOTH O[censored]S, COLLECTED ALL THE DOCUMENTS REQUIRED, COLLECTED OUR CHEQUE & WENT.
NEXT MONTH AGAIN THEIR REP CAME TO OUR HOUSE, GOT A FRESH LOT OF FORMS. HE AGAIN GOT THE ENTIRE FORMS FILLED UP BY BOTH O[censored]S & TOOK OUR SIGNATURE AGAIN ON ALL THE FORMS AT SEVERAL PLACES, COLLECTED SEVEN OR SIX DOCUMENTS SAYING SOME WERE LOST.
NOW AGAIN YOU HAVE SENT A LONG LETTER SAYING THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ALL THE DOCUMENTS!!!!...HOW COME.
I ASK YOU TO IMMIDIATELY CONDUCT AN ENQUIRY ABOUT THIS WHOLE MATTER & YOU WILL FING SHOCKING REVELATIONS AS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING AT KOLKATA ICICIDIRECT.COM REGIONAL OFFICE.
DUE TO THEIR LOCAL OFFICE CALLOUSNESS & LETHARGY I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO ON LINE FOR TRADING FOR OVER 4 MONTHS!! SHOCKING ISNT IT??. THEN IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY I HAVE LOST???
WHY DID YOU COLLECT MY CHEQUE & FORM IN SEPTEMBER & HOW DID YOU LOOSE IT?? WHY DID YOU OFFICE TAKE FOUR MONTHS TO REVERT BACK TO ME IN WRITING WHEN I WAS AVAILABLE ALL THE TIME. NUMEROUS FRANTIC CALLS TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE YIELDED NO RESULT.
PLEASE REVERT BACK TO ME ON WHAT ACTION YOUR COMPANY PROPOSES TO TAKE TO ENSURE FOR THIS SERIOUS LAPSE ON YOUR PART.
BELIEVE ME, THIS WAY YOU ARE LOOSING YOUR CREDIBILITY IN THE MARKET, SLOWLY.
I AM IN FULL TENSION & DEPRESSION FOR NO FAULT OF MINE. PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THIS AGONY.

Dear Sir,

Here I want to inform you, i opened my nri account in ICICI Bank at Maninagar, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, india branch before 4 month from Al-rajhi bank, jubail, saudi arab. After one month of open the Account i got the ATM card and cheque book, but still after 4 month i didn’t get the ATM card Pin code and Internet banking id and password. I asked many time to the your representative at here in Al-rajhi bank, jubail, saudi arabia. But he didn’t give me positive responce. And since last 2 month nobody here in the bank from ICICI. I asked to the Al-rajhi bank person then he told me ICICI bank get him back to riyadh office. So please i request to you give me positive reply or advise me how can i get my ATM code no. and Internet banking ID and password.

Thanks,

Yours faithfully

icicidirect — poor customer services

dear customer services manager , icicidirect,

you have poor services. when a person complaint's against you on the customer services number, you must arrange to manage it accordingly. just placing it to hold tune, and saying that we shall call you back does not serve any purpose.

there are other compnys too in the market, like reliance money, share khan, india bulls, kotak securities etc. most of the traders will leave you and go to the new entrants. am elaredy hearing exceptional news about a few. and most of all pls stop distributing the mobile numbers of the people who trade with you to third party. so many calls keep bothering about loans, personal finance, and auto loans.

dear sir,

i have submit complete(without any query) vide application /form no. [protected] and my saving account is open on 16.04.08 but since 16.04.08 no update is find for demat account procedure and it shows message that the next update is in 1 days since i daily check update in two or three times so it is very very bad experiance from icici bank compare to other bank.

so please do needful at your end

regards,
vishal patel

Dear sir, June 11, 2008

I, K Srinivasa Rao submitted application to your executive at Hyderabad on 30th April 2008 for opening a DeMat A/c in your reputed bank. Nearly one and half month elapsed, I could not get the account details.
I, therefore, requesting you to do the needful and requesting you respond immediately and if you find any mistake on my application please come and take clarifications.

ICICI Direct.com — Service Failures

I have applied for ICICI Dmat account. Past 5months and I am yet to receive the service. Almost every weekend I visit the icici center only to get false promises by their employees.

The hights: They kept my form with them for four months and my cheque validity expired and I have to re-sign my cheque with the current date.

Basically I found that the Empliyees's are not educated to know the proceedings and are themselves confused. Even I found that the Center Manager "Narayana Rao" was highly confused with the proceedings. They even don't know where to take the customer's signature in the d-mat account opening form.

This is a disgusting and most impudent customer services I have ever experienced in the corporate world. ICICI can't even open an account of a customer whose all the documents are correct.

icicidirect.com — SERVER OVERLOADED

yes exactly correct

Reg. Trading account locked due wrong password

If my trading account locked due to wrong password entering. for re issue new password we fill up form.
New password by you send by corrier at mentioned home address. my suggestion is that why you can not send at registred e-mail address or registred cell phone no. so this process will not take time.
icicidirect services is good.
