My name is ALOK KUMAR GUPTA and I have account in ICICI Bank whose account number is[protected]. I had one credit card linked with my account whose Credit Card Number is [protected].
I also have my home loan linked with your account whose Home Loan account number is LBBRD[protected]. I already have Rs 22700 in my Account but you people have blocked my account. One person from Gurgaon Branch has agreed for settlement for around Rs. 18000 but he never came to collect money and now you have blocked my account without informing me which is completely wrong and Pure Cheating. Now you are charging Interest on my Credit Card and Home Loan also. How Customers will trust you when you do such cheap things. I thought that yours is the best bank but now I cannot trust you any.You have to keep your promise for the settlement of 18000 rupees against my credit card and return remaining 5000 rupees.
If you cannot do so then Just close my Bank account and Transfer my ICICI Home loan to my other Bank account after returning my 5 Blank Cheques. If you keep blocking my account like this then how will I pay my Home loan. You people will keep charging interest on my Home loan like this only. My Father in Law lives in Rohini, Delhi. His name is Ram Nath Gupta ( Mobile No [protected], Landline – [protected], His Address is A-6/110, Sector-15, Rohini, Delhi ). He will go to the Bank and you have to give him settlement letter of Rs 18000 and he will sign it. Then you have to deduct Rs 18000 from my Account and release remaining account.In case of any further conversation, you can co-ordinate with me on my Mobile ). If you do not do as I say then I will take the entire matter of Fraud to Consumer Court. I have all the documents ready to be sent to Thane, Mumbai ( ICRPC ).I am informing you in advance that I will take the matter to Consumer court, not like you People doing things without informing. I will never recommend any of my friends for your Hopeless Bank.

This bank works for only who are fraud and not for good people. They give credit cards to everyone in India, even to a begger. These people done pay back their dues. Any way they will not be able to trace them, so they find people like us to get the money rectified.

I had a card which was not in use for the past 1 yr and there was a due of 1000 Rs which i was in Oct 2008. I cleared the Due and asked them to close the card, instead they started charging me late payment fee and other charges. This month today they deducted the total amount of 7400 from my savings bank account. I have never given any instructions about my savings bank account to cerdit cards. But even then they are able to deduct the amount without my knowledge.

Any one help me if i can file a case on ICICI in consumer court on this issue.
Hi! I am Kathir from Chennai. I had a similar situation like you. I had a ICICI account cenautugh road, Chennai. When I was in US[protected], some body used my credit card (I lost it when i was in India) for railway bookings (In those days u dont need password to use credit card-online railway bookings). I returned to India and got a bill for 40, 000Rs. When I was running door-to-door, suddenly the money got deducted from my account. I even went to the Bank managers, Cenotaph Rd, Chennai. Gave a written complain to those coat-suit waalaas. They promised me a lot. but nobody turned back. Worse!! I got again a 2000Rs bill next month. For that amount a Manager in ICICI, Srinagar colony, Chennai branch helped me and waved off. I had only one option left now. I closed my account in ICICI bank.

Most dangerous thing:--- While I was enquiring about the card issued to me with ICICI bank, I found that the credit card was issued to me on the name of my voter id card...YOU KNOW WHAT!!!...I DONT HAVE ANY VOTER ID CARD ISSUED TO ME TILL DATE. These guys faked documents to issue me a card.

Moral: Just be cautious when dealing with this bank. Unfortunate is we have made this the largest private bank. Very unfortunat, indeed!!
