HDFC Bank Complaints & Reviews

Respected Sir,

I Muneer Pulikandy working in Abu Dhabi and holder of NRE account in HDFC bank.
(A/c No. [protected]).

I applied a home loan from HDFC bank last year. But they rejected my application with unknown silly reasons. That time I gave one cheque for them Rs. 3709.00.( Cheque No. 591268) That cheque they reissued to my name on 29/07/2008. But I can came back from Abu Dhabi only on 15/07/2009.

I gone Kannur main branch and I saw Regional Manager Mr. Renjith Kumar. But his response very very bad. He said this chque has been cancelled because date has expired with shouting. He used all f words. I don't want this cheque amount back, but was insulting me with bad words.

I am here lodging a complaint against regional Manager Mr. Renjith Kumar for the insultancy.

Hello,

I have been a customer and active trader on the stock market and my broker is HDFC Securities. Its infact very agonizing to use their services. Their phone numbers arent very receptive and only hours of waiting can get me an executive and plus they have this regular irregularity of outage on their servers.

Due to this no orders can be placed either on the net or on their call centre or een their offices located in the city. Since stock markets are very volatile in this season and timing is all it takes for some decent returns, this has caused me huge capital losses. My stock prices have plumetted down in front of my eyes and i couldnt do much about it.

Even as iam typing this complaint, iam just waiting for their "technicians" to "work on the problem". I want to take legal action against this firm . Being such big leaders in the industry, it becomes their social and moral responsibility to ensure services of highest standard and had it been once i a while the mistake is pardonable but the problem is it isnt. If the servers breakdown due to high traffic, why should they even sign up these many accounts if they cant handle it.

Some one please help me on what i can do for this? Is there a legal action that i can take?

Thanks

Hi,

I am rajul mishra. My Salary Account No. is [protected]. I've deposited a cheque on 11th of July 2009 and is not credited in my account yet. I've written to the bank 2 times previuosly. I just wanna know is this a bank or something else. At the time of account opening last year one of the bank agents take my form and the account was activated after two months of that. After that on 11th of July I've deposited a cheque at Noida sector 26 branch. However, the cheque was wrongly delivered to some other place and returned back. The Bank then put my cheque again for clearance and hence it is not cleared yet. Actually my case has become a comedy. The guys overthere in the bank entertain us as an easy bay. They don't think that these type of conducts give wrong message to the society. If my cheque will not be credited by today then I'll definitely sue on the bank in Consumer Forum. As I am a resident of lucknow and working with an organization at noida I'm suffering from severe financial crisis.


Thanking You

Hi Sir,
I have an account in HDFC BANK, M. G. Road, Bangalore. On 02/07/09 i made fund transfer through HDFC net banking to my Dad's account(SBI, B.S.City, jharkhand) of Rs.5000. But that has not been credited to my Dad's account till now. When i asked HDFC about this they are saying that it was a successful transaction, please consult SBI(Beneficiary account). When consulted to SBI they are saying that they don't know anything about this transaction and please consult HDFC Bank. Again i consulted to HDFC Bank and asked about transaction, but they are saying that "It was a successful transaction and they submitted my request of transfer to RBI on the same day(02/07/09)".
The problem is that my Dad didn't received any money till now and both banks saying go consult other bank.
I am in between both banks but my problem is not solved.
I want you to help me in solving this problem because my Dad is in need of money. Please help.

Below is details of transaction:
Name:Saroj Kamar
A/c No.:[protected]
Transaction ID: HD[protected]

I had a credit card with HDFC. Around 2 years ago the same was settled and the card was returned to them. HDFC can very well check in their records if they have any transaction on this card for lastt 2 years. After the settlement, I had not received a single call or a bill from them till date.

But look at the way these smart guys deal with the customers. Today all of a sudden Mr. Gupta from HDFC (calls himself as a manager), called me saying that I have to pay them a sum of 65000 against my credit card. He slowly stated HARRASING me with his phone calls and DHAMKIS. In the entire day he must have made around 20 calls to me asking me to speak with many different people who call said they are lawyers (one of them is Vikram Rana).

When he started pressuring me, I asked my husband to speak with him. When my husband wanted to talk with him, he refused and said that my husband was harrasing him by calling him... look at the PUN here... Who is harrasing whom is the question that arises.

Later he sends me a message on my cell giving DHAMKIS saying wait and watch I shall do with you. I am staying alone in Mumbai with a small kid. If anything happens to me, I shall hold HDFC responsible for the same.

When I did not listen to all his DHAMKIS, he then chose to speak with my husband (who was initially harrasing him) and tried pressuring him.

He kept on telling me that he will file a legal case against me and send the police to my office. Mr. Gupta then called my manager and spoke to him on the issue, trying to create pressure on me thru my seniors. Firstly this is my personal matter, why should they involve my work colleagues in this. This is to spoil my reputation at work and make my life more difficult. If I lose my job I again hold hdfc responsible for this.

This is such an unprofessional behavior shown by them. Mr. Gupta was not ready to speak with me properly and was continouly abusing my husband.

This is a shameful act done by HDFC... How can they harrass a person all of a sudden after 2 years without any notice or any kind of bill being sent to me...

On top of that he claims that he had sent a executive to my house who was beaten up by us...

This is too much... He is just trying to create a scene out of nothing and trying to prove his point.

I am living here alone with my kid and now I am really scared of his DHAMKIS and I threat of my life...

Somebody needs to take this up with HDFC and help me sort out this issue.

Dear Sir,

I have a Savings Bank Account No.[protected] with your bank for several years. I have been making withdrawals from different ATMs at different locations but never had a problem. Surprisingly, on last Saturday i.e. on 11.07.2009 at about 7.30 P.M. I used my card to draw Rs.10, 000/- but the machine dispensed 18 (Eighteen) notes of Rs. 500/- each and 5 (Five) notes of Rs.100/- each – none of the notes was a new one.

I was shocked and tried to inform over phone but, by that time, Phone Banking Services were not available. On Monday morning I informed over phone about the short delivery of cash and requested to check and credit Rs.500/- (short delivered amount) to my account.

Today, I received a phone call from the bank expressing its inability to do anything in the matter. This is an undue loss to me for no fault of mine. Has the amount been drawn at the bank- counter and had there been a short cash delivery, a complaint could be made then and there and the culprit could be caught immediately.

I again request you to look into your system, machines and personnel and trace the error as it does not much financially but much more impacts the trust the customers have in a banker and its procedure.

Expecting an early response.

Subject : Once again request to waive off the flawed charges asked in the credit card statements from past few months.

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to you after visiting your office at Rajouri Garden on 29th June, 2009. I am having a very bad experience with your Credit Card department as well as the Bank also. I am holding a credit card of your bank bearing credit card no. [protected] and my salary account is in the name of Neeraj Gupta and my Account No. is [protected]. I am not using your credit card anymore since 06th Jan, 2009. But you are charging the flawed charges in the name of Financial charges in each and every statement thereafter every month.

I talked to your many customer care executives and every time they have assured me that the extra charges will be waived off in my next statement and asked me to pay my actual buying amount and so I did the same but I did not get what I want from them. Even I had sent a request letter, as asked by Mr. Dixit on 13th Nov, 2008, by fax on 20th Nov, 2008 to waive off the flawed charges for Rs. 2, 133.25 regarding these charges but instead of this there was no response once again. So I decided not to use your bank credit card anymore. Once again the same letter is attached for your reference and record.

But instead of this you have charged the flawed charges in each and every statement. In 02nd May, 2009 month statement this figure was Rs.7, 334. My Last payment was Rs. 6, 936/- on 24th Dec, 2008 as per your statement dated 02nd Jan, 2009. But total due in the statement was Rs.10, 055.36.

Now a new dispute has been created by your Bank as I have my salary account with HDFC Bank and My Car Loan (Car Loan No.[protected] was also sanctioned by the same bank. My EMI for Rs. 4, 605 deducted by ECS on 07th of every month. Therefore I have to maintain EMI amount every month in my bank account. But in May my balance was 4, 384.45. From which, without any information, the credit card department had deducted Rs. 4, 384.45 as there credit card dues. And thereafter my balance was NIL. And no amount was left for my next EMI, because of which I had to deposit my car loan EMI for the month of June in the Safdarjung Enclave Branch by cash and faced lot of inconvenience. Who is responsible for this? This is very shameful act that a Bank deducted the amount without the permission of the Account Holder. How could you do this to a valued customer? Isn’t this a criminal offence?

Now I am telling you my actual buying amount and the flawed amount once again.

My actual buying for which I have not paid is as per following table.

Sr. No. Date Amount
1 02nd Jan, 2009 1, 978
2 02nd Feb, 2009 500
Total 2, 478

And you have deducted Rs. 4, 384.45 on 25th May, 2009 and Rs.11.47 on 01st July, 2009. Total amount deducted by you is Rs. 4, 395.92 from my salary account without my wish.

Now in the current statement i.e. 02nd June, 2009 credit card statement is showing Rs. 3, 171.99 is still due from my side after deducting Rs.4, 395.92 from my salary account which is absolute rubbish. Instead of this the credit card department has to refund my balance amount i.e. Rs. 1, 917.92 which it has deducted from my salary account.

I have suffered a lot since September, 2009. If it would have been corrected in the early days then this would not had been happened and my relation with your bank would not have been so worse. If this problem will not be resolved from your side as soon as possible then I have no way left except the Consumer Court.

At last I request you solve this matter once and for all and I want to keep your credit card for future use but without any dispute from our side.

Thanking you
Neeraj Gupta

Subject : To waive off the flawed charges asked in the credit card statements.

Dear Sir,

I am holding a credit card of your bank bearing credit card no. [protected]. My credit card limit is Rs. 50, 000/-. But it got exceeded to Rs. 55, 440.97 while doing purchasing in the month of September. Therefore you have charged overlimit fee of Rs. 500/- in September statement, which is not my fault. How can a person know for how much he has shopped for? The card must have been declined for the further payments until and unless the credit limit for purchase is exceeding.

For this extra charges of overlimit fee, I talked to your customer care person Mr. Amit Kumar on 07/09/2008 and he promised me to waive off the same.

Unfortunately when I dropped my cheque for Rs.55, 000/- vide cheque No. 481238 for the same I forgot to mention the date on the cheque and hence it was dishonored by your bank. And again you sent me a new statement for following charges:-

Finance Charges Retail 1, 777.59
Service Tax 345.31
Cess Tax 10.35
[protected]
Total 2, 133.25
=======
In this regard I talked to your customer care person Ms. Kalpana on 13/10/2008 and she also promised me to waive off the same.

And one more time in your next statement for the month of November you have charged Rs.347.00 as Finance Charges. Why you charge these financial charges in your statements?

For this matter I again talked to your customer care executive Mr. Dikshit on 13/11/2008. On that day your system was not working so he suggest me to fax a letter in this regard.

Therefore I request you to waive off all these extra charges which is amounting to Rs. 2, 980.25.

Thanking you

I am an A/c Holder ( SB : [protected] ) of Saltlake Sec -II HDFC Branch . I have a Zero Balance salary savings a/c which opened for crediting salary when I was working for Visioncomptech . I am no more working with Visioncomptech . Till last quater the a/c status was showing as salary savings a/c and the said a/c is carring some credit balance .

But for this quater ( April-June) Bank has deducted Rs 827.25 as 'AQB SER CHGS INC ST & CESS APR-JUN2009' without informing me that the a/c is no more Zero Balance Savings . Though I am getting my a/c statement in time to my postal address . So there is no question of 'Address problem' from my end . I spoke to Customer servive desk, they are saying that the intemation is sent to your e-mail address, This e-mail address is belong to Visioncomptech email address and no access is to this email, as I already left the company what I maintained earlier, more this email is non editable from my end .

For every communication bank is sending the mail to my Postal address only, But for this they are saying they are sending it to email . Is this only to take money from my a/c to HDFC'c A/c ?

I have a credit card of HDFC Bank. At 15/05/2009 I got a message alert on my mobile regarding to purchase in Big Bazaar. Immediately I checked my card that was not in my wallet and I called to HDFC Customer care to block the card. After that a bank employee came to meet me and took the signature on dispute form. I submit it with FIR copy. At that time he told me about the detail (use and time o[censored]ses) of all transaction done by my card on 15 may. There were four transactions on that day. And bank sent me the message on forth (last transaction). And also told that “You have to pay the amount”. After the blocking the card on the next day (16 May) it was swapped in Reliance fresh that is opposite to Bombay hospital and that transaction is cancelled due to block of the card. This information gave by employee and told “I am unable to go there because of decline of transaction so you may go and check on the security camera”. After that I went to Reliance fresh. But I got no clue. Then I went to HDFC bank to told about that at that time they told me that person try two times on the ATM. One on 13 may at Alankar Point. The second ATM of HDFC at opposite to Magdut Garden. Than I told “this time we caught the culprit”. Then he told “There is no security camera on that ATM”. After the investigation they send me a later that according to “Zero Liability” this is my mistake and I have to pay the amount.

i have been getting threatning call from hdfc bank, iam a student and i was given card by hdfc bank now as iam not able to make the payment, they are calling at my land line number and harassing my parents and some times they say that we are calling from delhi high court and ask rishi to make the payment .i have told them many times that after six months i will get a job then i will settle the account .last time also they came to my home and told my mom to give the money otheerwise the consequence will not be good so my mom paid the money(minimum amount).now daily these people are calling on my landline and mobile number and threatning me and my parents

I have been a CC holder with HDFC BANK for over 5 years and have never faced such abusive and threatening calls for recovery.

This agent from tel. number has not only been abusive but also talking of dire consequences for a delayed payment even when assured that the payments will be made in 3 days since I am out of town.

While it is common that such complaints and grievances do not carry any weight and will be treated as yet another trash by general public who continues to suffer either at the hands of terror agents.

This kind of abuse from a respected institution like HDFC Bank or its gang member is very hurting.

He has not tell me his name and collection agency name on phone.
