[Resolved]  HDFC Bank — Excessive interest charges levied on credit card

Address:Elegance Building, 1st Floor, Ganesh Chandra Avenue, Dharmatala, Kolkata 700013, West Bengal, India
Website:hdfcbank.com

HDFC bank has charged excessive interest on my credit card(# ending in 2713). Even though part payment was made against the statement issued for the month of July, the interest was calculated on the total amount till the payment date(which is before due date) and the amount remaining after part payment till the next statement generation date.
Also the credits other than payment were not included in interest calculations.
All together there is around 500 Rs of excessive interest charged on my July's statement.
Their call center agents and Credit Cards Correspondence officer(contacted via email) kept on explaining and adding new rules for interest calculations every time.

Subject:- Waiver of Interest Charges

Ref: - ICICI Bank Credit Card No.:- [protected],

Dear Sir,

This has reference to your monthly statement (due date is 02/03/08) for above referred credit card. In this statement, you have charged Rs.591.75 /- towards interest and Rs.73.14/- towards service tax.

In this regard, I want to clarify that, I, have not received the January 2008 credit card statement after that as my best knowledge, I have deposited Rs.10500/- in my credit card account and same was received by you on 18/01/08. Today, I call to you customer care center (Miss Mamta, call time 3:45 pm) and she confirmed that your total amount was Rs. 11000/-, that’s why interest was imposed on me. Even after making the payment, I am surprised to see that, you have charged the heavy interest Rs. 571.75/- on Rs 600.00 balance amount.

I am using same card from last 4-5 year, but there was not a single issue regarding payment. I am always making timely payment. I have logged my grievances to your on line customer care cell but I am not getting the satisfactory reply.

I am extremely disappointed that bank of your repute make such type of mistake. Now I am requested pl. look into this matter and waive off the interest and service charges Rs. 571.75 + service tax.

Hoping for your early favorable action.

Thanking you,

Credit Card No:[protected]
Statement dated Aug 29 2008.
I had received the said statement with a interest charges for Rs.2572.83 & Service Tax Rs.318.00. Can you clarify the same of the interest you are charging? I had a talk with someone from your call center who had promised me that this rectification will be done day before yesterday but today when I had a talk with Sudhir around 10.25 AM he again repeatedly said it will be done tomorrow.But my last day of payment is today I do not know "what I am Supposed to do". Anyway I am making the payment without the Interest and service Tax and I hope you will not charge me anything for this in near future.

icici kingfisher master card — Charges levied for credit /master card when not used

Dear Sir,

I am in possession of kingfisher mastercard which I have taken for my financial security after the offer was made by ICICI stating no charges will be levied and is free to be used as I am an employee of a listed corporate in this bank. However for past two years I am being charged Rs 101.00 for the same.However I have never used the facility of this card but do keep for any emergency. Requesting you to clarify this to me a to why I should be charged annually without any reason. And if it is not to be charged then should be paid back to the deduction made from my account.

I shall be grateful for your sooner response and for resolving this issue.

Thanks & regards

Credit Card — levy of unwanted interest

Hi! There,

I have been paying my credit card bills diligently to ICICI for the past so many months, though I had been levied over limit charges which I covered up in next couple of months still I am receiving the interest rates,
my credit card number xxxx xxxx xxxx 7002, please look into the matter, though ICICI promises lot of benefits & shows greener pastures, in fact it is really a back breaker to the coomon man & truly the services are misleading.

That being the reson there are so many defaulters for ICICI.

Hope it suffices my complain.

HDFC Bank Ltd — CREDIT CARD PAYMENT

My credit card no. is [protected] on this card my outstanding is due of not more than Rs 4000/- though because of late fee and other irrelevant charges and the total payment is Rs 8662/- for which collection people are calling me again and again finally they got agreed to settle my credit card a/c with Rs 4500/- which is actually my actual bill.


In the mean time i have an another bank a/c with HDFC which is my salary a/c with my new company and this credit card is not linked to my new a/c still they holded the amount of Rs 8662/- on this new a/c without any intimation if i am agreed for settlement of my actual amount of Rs 4000/- then why without any intimation an amount of Rs 8662/- is kept on hold and when card in not linked to my new a/c even i have not received any bill though late fee is charged in my bill of more than Rs 2000/- why do i pay if i have not received any bill.

I have received a letter from HDFC bank stating to pay the outstanding of Rs 8662/- which includes extra amount of late fee and other irrelevant charges if the same is not paid the same would be auto debited from my new bank a/c which is not linked with my card.

I am ready for settlement why is these people not agreed for settlement just because i have enough of money in my bank a/c so that they can deduct any amount they feel like .

Show me the terms and conditions which authorise the bank to auto debit the a/c without any intimation and if i am agreed to settle my a/c with the actual outstanding why is the bank not agreed on that .

If i would not have any account then they would have chased me for settlement of my card and they would have agreed on payment of actual why is the bank so reluctant to charge extra money which is not actually used by me and even i have not received any bill why do i pay extra charges of late fee and other charges.

If no action is taken on my request for settlement of my card then i will have to lodge an FIR and need to go to consumer court for unnecessary harassment, fraud and over charging .

HDFC Bank Ltd — Domineering Charges

My complaint is i am having my salary account at HDFC Bank Ltd, Manjalpur Baroda Gujarat. since last six-seven months i did not operated that account due some personal reasons. after that what they wrote to me on 28.03.2009 that your account will be treated as normal account from 1st of April (with three days of 28.03.09 dated mail) and for which you will have to maintain 10, 000/- per day for whole quarter other wise you will be debited 750/- INR Per quater. which is not acceptable to me due to following facts:
1.0 i did not agree these terms while opening an account with HDFC BANK LTD.
2.0 and if they are saying (indirectly) in there detail approx 10 and half page asseyed terms that all terms shall be in favour of HDFC in any case than after few days they will say this from now onwards if you are not maintaining 50, 000/- per day then your house will be ours after a month than i can not do legaly anything.
3.0 any business or transaction is based on mutually agreed terms and can not run by riding against either parties will (or unjust enrichment) as per "QUASI CONTRACT LAW" in terms of LAW language.
i am having my free demat account with them and i did not operated that too i donot know what charges they will impose upon now.
i think in INDIA THESE SMART BANKERS should be banned for time and must be screwed to follow strictly humanly rules.
IF REQUIRE I WILL DRAG THIS MANAGEMENT OF HDFC BANK TO THE CONSUMER COURT FOR JUSTICE.

HDFC Credit Card — Charges Levied on Credit Card

Hi,

This is regarding the HDFC Credit Card # [protected].

I have made a online transaction on 08/11/2007 to pay my insurance premium of Rs 25,000.00. When I received the statement there was additional charges of Rs 775.63 as Finance Charges - Retail. I called up customer service to enquire about the charges and they said that you made premium payment that is why the charges has been levied. I have paid them Rs 25,000 amount as per my statement but they didn't clarify me about the charges as no other bank levy such kind of charges. Now they have made up that amount to Rs 14,000.

I want to know few things.

1. Why the charges been levied to pay the premium and why they haven't mentioned earlier.
2. From Rs 775 they have made it now 14,000.

These are charges which even they don't know why they have levied on me. I am feeling cheated. They have put my name in defaulter list which making any default.

Now I want to clear them up. but I am not getting any lead from the customer service and their settlement department.

[protected], [protected] these are two registered complaints # to settle down the things.
But still not getting any response.
