Hello,
My name is Sumit Kumar and I am a resident of New Delhi. I'd like to register a complaint against the
fraudulent transaction /
forgery done by Bajaj Finserv people on my name. I'd explain the whole incident
here.
I took a Samsung Refrigerator almost
2 years back and got that amount converted into 10 equated installments through
Bajaj Finserv. I paid off the entire amount as per the stipulated time frame
and the loan was over well within 10 months. THAT IS THE ONLY DEALING THAT HAS
HAPPENED BETWEEN ME AND BAJAJ FINSERV.
Now, suddenly out of nowhere, almost 1 month back, I received a call from some
Bajaj Finserv call center stating that Congratulations Sir, your loan has been
approved. I told them very clearly that I have not applied for any loan and you
must have dialed a wrong number and the call was disconnected. I didn't pay
heed to it and thought that it was just a wrong number but I was proved so
wrong when I got a follow up message on January 28th 2015 that my BFL CD loan
has been booked with the Loan Number - 4010CD07469776 for Rs. 37, 405.00 and my
first EMI would be due on March 2nd for Rs. 3741. This was enough for me to get
baffled and I immediately called up the customer care center for Bajaj Finserv
and let me tell you reaching
there is a task in itself. I spoke to some Mahesh from the unit and explained
him the entire thing. He told me a wonderful story that Bajaj had issued an EMI
card on my name and delivered it to my permanent address and someone with the
name Ankita received it as well. Now, I don't have anyone with that name in my
family. Moreover, I was not sent any communication about the delivery of this
so called EMI card. He also told me that this card was used at some Reliance
store for purchasing a Samsung LED and now the EMI is due for that product. I
was literally shocked at such poor handling of a financial instrument by Bajaj
people and then approving a loan without even authenticating it, not even
asking for a valid ID proof. I think Bajaj really needs to revisit its handling
procedures. Anyway, Mahesh told me that this issue would be investigated and
resolved within 5 working days. The service request number provided was
SRN02456391.
I waited and got a call from Ms. Sita from the investigation wing and again she
asked a hell lot of questions and I had to explain everything to her as well.
She told me that she'd get back to me on priority which never actually
happened. I waited and waited and then finally called up the Customer Care
Center again on Feb 10th. This time I spoke to Mr. Parag and explained my story
again and as expected he was of no help either. He transferred my call to
someone from the escalation unit and with an awful lot of frustration I had to
repeat myself yet again to him, that guy told me that this fraudulent loan
would be cancelled within 3 working days and I'd receive an update about it as
well. And as I rightly expected this never happened again. Today also I tried
reaching up the Bajaj people but it never connected to a Customer Service Representative.
Now, my questions to Bajaj people are -
-How could you even issue an EMI card on my name without my consent ?
-How could you deliver a financial instrument issued on my name to someone
without my consent and even authenticating her and my ID at that address ?
-How was this transaction approved and was not investigated when I told
specifically that I didn't even apply for a
CD Loan ?
-How was this loan approved without my signature and a valid ID proof ?
-How can you guys present an ECS into my bank account without my consent ? the
consent that I signed 2 years back was only for that transaction.
-Why can't you guys revert on time and resolve an issue which is impacting a
consumer heavily/adversely ?
-Why don't you guys realize that because of your mistake, someone's CIBIL
records can go for a toss and he'd suffer absolutely unnecessarily ?
I request the owners of this forum to please take/facilitate necessary actions
against Bajaj Finserv and help me get rid of this mess. And to Bajaj Finserv,
this better get resolved now as this has really frustrated me to my core and if
it doesn't stop right away, I'd be compelled to take help of a legal consultant
and filing a case against
your organization in the Indian court of law.
