HDFC Bank — High charges

I took an NRE Home Loan of 24.5 lakhs fm hdfc, whose paperwork i beleive is faster than other public sector funds.However i am having quite a few complaints against it, namely
a)There is no online/net customer support.I had request of certain of my papers to be returned.However it took almost 1.5 month of continous calling, e-mails, messages.Finally i had to raise my voice to make them listen.They have system of writing complaints on their web site.
(a)There is no acknowledgement of complaint.Hence no generation of complaint number.If no acknowledgement, then any no. of mail you write you cant blame them as there is no record.No e-mail address is given on their website.Hence you cant send fm e-id.In conclusion no acknowlegement hence no accountability.
2)I wanted 24.5 lakhs of loan.But HDFC office wanted and persuaded me to get sanction of full 85% of flat value, which is about 26 lakhs.I have taken 24.5 lakhs of loan.Now
I went to thier office recently to ask why i am being charged 10% ROI when HDFC is saying it charges only 9% on paper/tv.They said you have to change their spread.My loan is PLR - 3.75%.Now they are offering loans at PLR - 4.25/4.75%.To change to new spread they charge you have to pay them again 0.5%/1.5% of your total loan amount, plus taxes.Very smart, why-
a)In one move they have penalised old customers by not changing their spread automatically and trying to catch new customers by changing spread.I thought spread doesnt change, PLR changes as per broad economy condtion.
b)By putting penalty on changing spread they are asking you to pay
almost the amount you are going to benefit by reduced interest rates.
c)They calculate this penaly on 0.5%/1.5% of your total sanctioned amount.Should it not be on balance principal.Infact i have to pay not on taken loan amount but rather sanctioned.Result to reduce rate to deserved 9%, i have to pay about Rs 40, 000 and my EMI increases also i.e.i am paying about rs 55, 000/mon now.After paying abt rs 40K, i have to pay couple of hundred rs extra also per month in EMI!!!what a calculation method.Loss par loss.What logic.Then they say customer is always right and always at loss!!

had same experience with BHW home loan, they are charging 1.75% for reducing the interest rate, but earlier when the market increased they immediately increased the amount.
I had taken the loan from them since they offered 10.25%, but within 3 months they made it 11.75%, its like FOOLING customers, give them a small % for some time and immediately increase...
Looks like our home loan banks are also being headed by our POLITICIANS !!!
I too got cheated by HDFC back exactly the same way. Even after the BASE RATE implementation by RBI, these banks are cheating customers by saying that they are not part of banking sector. Even I I do not understand why RBI excluded housing finance companies from BASE Rate system.

If we want to get the lower interest rate that is been offering to new customers, we need to pay the 0.5%-1.5% of the out standing amount. I really blame RBI and the government as well for allowing the bank such kind o[censored]nmoral practices to cheat the old customers. I'm getting so much angry to kill all these who are cheating the people if given a chance.

Please do not encourage your self to take any loan in HDFC and getting cheated by these and so called customer oriented business CEOs.
i too have the same story took an for 13 lacs april 2006 @8.75% now they are charging 12.5% i will just insert their comments after raising this problem
Answer :
Thank you for your revert on interest rate fluctuation. As we exam your account. Your loan is availed under floating rate. The initial rate of the loan is 8.75%. Floating rate is pegged our
Retail Prime Lending rate -RPLR. Any changes in RPLR whether upward /downward will be reflected in the interest rate of the customer periodically. Currently your rate of interest is
12.50%.This rate is arrived as follows RPLR - Spread = Rate of Interest i, e 15.50% - 3% = 12.50%. Please refer our telecon on the same

Please do not change the subject line. Kindly mention your loan account number on all your correspondance with HDFC Ltd. for prompt response.
