ICICI Bank Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Rangaja S.V.I have a salary account in ICICI bank. Based on that they issued a Credit card without my concern.In the credit card the name is printed as RANGARAJAN S.V.After that they issued Lombard Health card based on credit card, they charged the amount in the credit card all without my concern.I complain to customer care about the mistake in the name and do the needful but there is no response from that side.I haven't used the card not a single time.
Then, i cut the card with covering letter for cancelling the card and drop in the drop in box. Now i received the statement for payment of the credit card therough courier & also a call from the customer care that i have to pay the payment otherwise my name will come under defaulter payment list & i can't apply for any other credit card in India.
I was mentally wounded by this statement. I don't know what to do for this. Pls help to solve the problem.

Thanking you
Rangaja S.V

Dear Sir
With reference to above I have taken personal loan form ICICI BANK my loan account is LPABD[protected], they have sanctioned my loan against my post dated chaque Due to change of my address i missed to pay some of the installments, so the ICICI BANK laid charges out of proportion, ICICI BANK authorized collection officer approached me and assure me that if I pay double installments for four five months than he can menage to remove the charges laid by ICICI BANk but after four months he said sorry its not possible it is only possible when you foreclose the loan and without my consent bring the foreclose letter and force me to repay the loan within a day which was not possible for me so I refused to do so during all this the collection officers and their representative constantly phone me and without any intimation any time came to my home and harassed me mentally and even defame me in my locality, so I want pay my remaining loan amount through court only because of the harassment of the ICICI BANK authorized collection staff.

All the above matter may kindly be treated as very urgent and necessary orders in the matter may kindly be issued as early as possible.

I am waiting from you a dramatic breakthrough which is legally possible.

Thanking You

Plz need action for this Mater. I hoop

Hi
I am Muneeswaraiah working in wipro for last 1.5 years. I took home loan from ICICI bank in Jan-2007.That time my interest rate was 10.5 p.a. Due to the increase in home loan interest rates by RBI my interest rate got increased to 12% p.a.

Recently I got to know that ICIC bank is giving home loans at 11% a.p . Some of my colleagues also took the loan at 11% p.a.

I went and asked the ICICI people the same thing.why my home loan is at 12% and why for the others is 11%. They shoed me the bellow calculations
PLR(%): 12.75
Variance: -1.50
ROI(%): 11.25
They told me that when I took the loan that time the variance is 1.5 % offered for wipro.Now they are offering at 2.5%. So, those who are taking loan they will be getting at 11%.
And also they told me that if I want to change the variance to 2.5% I need to pay around Rs. 40, 000
I am not understanding why I need to pay for it.
now they are showing the following calculation for my interest rate
PLR(%): 13.5
Variance: -1.50
ROI(%): 12.00

Is this calculation is legal.
What ever I am paying is not a money?
Why the interest rate is high and why I need to pay for switching the interest rate?
Please help me in this regard.
Thank you

Observed very bad in finding very basic details like MICR for ICICI Secundrabad. There is no basic support on website detailing about the same. When tried reaching phone banking officer thru[protected], problem starts. If we choose option for giving new business (like taking loan, transaction for demat) these guys will help you like crazy, otherwise as an individual calling this number need to wait for atleast 15 to 30 mins. This is where the customers get bad diseases like hearing problems listening all junk adds and service information bank. The system will say response time is 90 seconds to 1 minute but you will end up hloding phone and listening to junk adds for 15 to 30 minutes. They have to either revise the website or they have to improve response time for customers who are seeking normal help.

ICICI since June 2008 has started levying a cash payment fee of Rs.100 on their customers who make credit card payment by cash plus there is a service tax fee of Rs.12.36 on the cash payment fee of Rs.100. Looks like ICICI is coming up with their own rules to fleece their customers. Is ICICI following some sets of norms set by a governing body which regularizes these types of stuff like the Reserve Bank or are acting on their accord to rob people??

This is the first time i'm coming across something like this as, as far as I know hard cash is preferred over the other types for payments.

Way to go ICICI...keep FLEECING

ICICIDirect offered me a standalone demat account number 35041366 under a special offer. I have requested them create new Trading and SB account and link it to the demat account. Instead, they created NEW 3 in 1 account. Now I hold 2 demat accounts under one DP. Customer Care is clueless on closing 35041366. I have nothing but runaround from one center to another.
In response to my complaint dated 15th April, 2008 in Speak Out - Deccan Chronicle, ICICI called me back and assured the duplicate Demat account (IN[protected] will be closed and there will be no charge. To my surprise, I have received a bill of Rs.661 for that duplicate demat that was supposed to be closed. The bill stated that the amount if not paid before the due date will be deducted from my SBI savings account. I request ICICI Direct to close out the duplicate account and stop following such unfair practices. If this continues, I have to close my Insurance product with you.

I shamnad fazil, I have applied for a credit card at your bank
My first application, verification was done and after that one of your banking officers says that the application was lost. After one month I have applied again for credit card as per the bank instructions. Again all verifications and enquiries were finished and I have received a final call from the department saying that, this is the final call and the card will get approved. I did not get any kind of conformation. I called customer care number that officer says my office address missing or the office verifications not yet completed. What is this? These are the reasons telling to the customer?
Finally I sent a mail to ICICI Bank corporate office they started calling me from corporate office after wards one of the person called me from[protected], I bank) Trivandrum Branch on 11/07/2008 8:00 PM and His Name is Mr.Ajoy and he is asking me regarding my application and many more documents, my Passport copy, Driving License copy PAN card copy Mobile bill copy. I told him I can give you the all documents then he told me that I will call you with in a minute but He did not call me then next day after noon I use to call him for hand over the documents and he told me that I spoke to credit card division and they will sent a executive to collect the documents now all the documents I am keep ready from the date and no more executives came and collect it, yesterday 14/07/2008 at 2:30 PM I go to the bank I was standing out side and ring up above mentioned number more than 30 minutes nobody attend my calls and today 15/07/2008 morning 11:30 AM again I called Mr.Ajoy after that only he sent a executive to collect the documents. You are always using that words we will revert you with in 3 working days but now 5 days take to collect my documents then how you can tell that? Kindly please tell me that when it is possible to inform me the actual status of my credit card application.
I am not a person for kidding with ICICI Bank.
I am the account holder of the ICICI Bank, and I have insurance my vehicle with ICICI Lombard also last two years, and this is my credit card application number[protected] and my restarted credit card application number is SR71376936.
I am the Credit card holder of HDFC Bank, with what basis they had given me the cards and they had given me a smart service and I am so satisfied with their service
Tell me to whom I want to approach to get a better service, to HDFC or ICICI BANK?
If this kind of service you are providing to your customers, you are not able to survive in this field.

I applied for a Car Loan from Axis Bank . Axis Bank refused the Loan stating that my Name is appearing in the defaulters' list.
As informed by the Bank, my name is appearing twice in defaulters' list .

I am aware of one case where there was dispute going on with ICICI Bank for refund o[censored]ndue amount charged by ICICI Bank from my saving account.

However, I am totally unaware of the second case...

Hi,

I am a manager with an IT MNC. I had taken a home loan from ICICI in June 2006. The rate of interest applicable then was 8.5 %. I was told that this interest rate is special for my company and was 1 % less than what other customers and banks were charging. Later on ICICI kept on revising based on RBI rate which is acceptable. But, the revision has now lead to a situation where the ineterst rate from ICICI is 1 % above other banks and .5 % above new ICICI customers. I was told that there will not be prepayment charges. I took that in good faith but now found that in the agreement they have mentioned that the prepayment charges will be 2 %. I now feel trapped with ICICI as they are charging very high rate as compared to market and are imposing prepayment charges. There should be some action against them.

Rgds,
