HDFC Bank Complaints & Reviews

I have noticed unauthorized transaction in my hdfc gold visa CC statement on 27th august 2012 of rs 575/- For *grameenfoun which I DID not order & I have not received any sms alert for the same. I called up customer care, blocked the card & reissue a new card. But again within 10 days another unauthorized transaction of rs4500 (usd79.95) occurred in the name of grc*proactiv solution this time which again I DID not order. This time also I DID not get any alert. I called up hdfc card dept. And blocked the card again. Also filled up their dispute resolution form. It's a fraud and it is very much mentally stressful and scaring using hdfc card further. Hdfc card division should immediately investigate it & take strict action so that it would not happen further.

Respected Sir, I had taken loan for two wheeler from your bank i have paid whole amount today not outstanding amount in the my account today i required NOC for future transaction please send me NOC. My address Manoj D. Mehta at post Tamsa Tq. Hadgaon Dist. Nanded. Mob. [protected]/[protected]. email [protected]@gmail.com.

Hon’ble Mr/Ms. Justice,
It is very unfortunate to state that the bank like Hdfc credit card division is making fool and cheating common people like me as follows:
I was using a credit card no. [protected] and after some time I got a call that your card can be upgraded and limit can be increased for free ( no annul charge), life time. And I agreed on the condition that if it is free as same as my older card please upgrade.
My new credit card [protected] is issued then and again I call and confirmed that it is free.
Now after doing first Transaction when I am getting bill the bank ( hdfc credit card division) is charging me the annual fees and when I spoke with the customer care executive and wrote a letter to Hdfc, they replied you have to pay the annual fee or degrade the card.
So, I am requesting you to do needful by ordering hdfc credit card division to listen all recorded conversation done with the representative regarding this in last 2 months on my mobile no. [protected].

Your honor, the banks like hdfc cheating card users by not giving information properly. At the time o[censored]p gradation of my card the representative committed and confirmed that there is no annual charge for the card and later charged annul fee in my bill.
Note: their policy of cheating is very clear your honor: they intentionally upgraded my card directly from gold card to platinum edge card without providing any information , so that they can charge annul fees.
Hdfc email details:
customerservices.[protected]@hdfcbank.com

Therefore, I request you to help me from this fraudulent, cheater bank Hdfc and order them remove the annual charge from my bill as per their commitment at the time o[censored]p gradation of my card and till than I am not paying my any payment due.

Thanks & regards

Hi All,

I spoke to many customer care representatives on 25/08/12 of HDFC bank for doing a purchase (pls refer to the recordings u have). All the representatives assured me that there is a offer on 25th and 26th Aug-12 ie., there is no processing fee and interest on EMI conversions. So I went to and purchased a Jewel at Khazana Jewellery for Rs. 51,628 /- on 25th Aug'12.

But I was shocked that you have charged a processing fee of Rs.5,500 for the purchase.

I then called up your customer care and spoke to Mr. Eshwar (Manager), he said that he cannot do anything.. meaning i have to pay Rs. 5,500/-.

I don't understand what is happening in your bank, u people give us a false commitments and ask us to pay the charges which is totally a injustice..

I also spoke to Mr. Venkatesh of Grievance redressal team, he said that he can't help me.

Kindly help me in solving my issue...

Note: Pls see all my transactions from the date i received the card, i made all the payments ontime...

I used to have a salary account with HDFC when I picked up my first job in Mumbai. Once I quit that job my salary account was automatically converted into a regular account. I was not informed when this was done.As a result the benefits that come with a salary account ceased and new taxes/fees began to be levied. In the meantime I stopped using the account eventhough I did not close it. So, there was no money deposited. Some years later when I depsoited Rupees 50,000 in that account, the bank in one go deducted Rs 4000 from my account without any kind of intimation. All these months I had been also recieving an e-mail bank statement which never reflected that any tax/cess was due to be paid.
My complaint is against this incident where a sum of Rs 4000 was deducted from my account. At no stage was I informed about it. Even at the stage of applying for a new account I was not told that the benefits of a salary account will cease once I stop getting my salary. Now, I want the money to be refunded so I can close my account.

i wanted to withdraw an amount ,of ATM card of (corporation bank) ,card barring no.[protected] of account of corporation bank(mahalakshmi layout) at hdfc atm (nandini layout), firstly i checked the balance it was 1937.36/-, i entered an amount of Rs 1000/-, i fullfilled the required proccess,the amount did not come out , but the amount was deducted in the balance, and showed the balance of Rs 902.36/-, as it is sunday, i am going to lodge a complaint on monday at 10.00 am. The above incidence took place at 11:20 am, sunday

Hi,

A.
I got a call from HDFC bank representative (called Amruta, mob number [protected] and [protected]) in pune about the platinum plus card offer. I told them that i wanted VISA card and not mastercard to which she said yes.
Also she told me many offers like Lifetime free card, buy 1 get 1 ticket offer from bookmyshow, ticketplease which were actually not applicable to the card. I fell prey to these lies and expressed my desire to apply.
In the Application form also I have specifically mentioned VISA and i applied for both the primary and addon card.

I called Amruta and told her my desire to cancel the application as the said offers were not applicable on the card. But she wrongly told me that I would be getting all those offers on my card, a blatant lie!

Now after all this, i got 2 confirmation calls. I have categorically told them to offer me VISA to which they said yes.

Now when I actually got 2 cards, the surprising thing is both of them were mastercards. Also the offers which Amruta told me were not applicable on that card.

B.
By seeing this, I immediately called the call center number[protected] and told them to change my franchiser to VISA. They told me that my request would be processed. But after 2 weeks also, when i called them up to check the status of my request, they said I had to apply for that!!!

C.
This was something that really irritated me and I chose to cancel the card. Again they blocked my card temporarily saying i needed to write a cancellation letter to them. And the following week they have imposed annual fee in my first Lifetime free credit card statement!!!

All these A, B, C things leave me with a conclusion that HDFC Bank employs full time liars who do wrong practices in their marketing of a card. This is very serious issue. I have finally written a letter to them notifying about the cancellation of my credit card.

(Ref No. 'HBL=[protected]' and request number [protected])

Dear Sir,

Today I have received a call posing as a IRDA representative and informing me that I have received the bonus amount and they want to release the same. The phone call was made from mobile No.[protected]. They are claiming that I have received the bonus on my policy of HDFC which was taken 1-2 year back. I have refused to give the personal details.

How such call can be made by the persons ? How these people get the details of our policy ?

Please take up the matter and inform all concern whether these calls are genuine or fake.

I am repeatedly getting annoying marketing calls ( for credit cards) from HDFC bank despite being registered for ' Do not Disturb' with Airtel. I have calle up the customer service number of Airtel and lodged formal complaints several times but there is no respite from such annoying calls from HDFC. Everytime a register a complaint, i get a complaint number and a TAT of 4 days. After 4 days, i usually get an SMS from Airtel informing me that a ' show cause notice' has been served to HDFC bank. There are no calls for a period of 15 to 20 days and then they start again. Please do something about it.
