ICICI Bank Complaints & Reviews

i had applied for credit card in ICICI bank and they gave me Big Bazaar card saying that what ever i purhcase in big bazaar i will get 6 reward points for every repuees hundred puchased. so for every thing i purchase from BIg Bazaar i use to swipe ICICI card to get more reward points. But in september on purchase worth Rs. 2000 ICICI my reward points where short by 100 points when mailed the complaint the reply i got is Big bazaar people has swiped my card at wrong machine and so i will not get the reward points. my question is ICICI has not cleared me this condition earlier and it is not my concern that on which machine they swipe my card. my concern is to purhcase from big bazaar and my transcation details also show that i had used my card in Big bazaar then ICICI bank should giive me my reward point which they have not done. now this is a cheating done by ICICI bank and i think this people are playing with the money of ours.
Now i have decided not use ICICI bank card in future and suggest other the same because this people does not entertain your query if they are in default.

I have taken a home loan from ICICI Bank on Feb2004 @7% ROI (Floating Interest). After that they are continously increased the rate of interest to 14% now according to the RBI Interest rate revision.
Now the RBI reduced the Interest rate too the large extent but the bank not reduce the interest rate. Moreover now bank offering new homeloan with 11.5% ROI.
I contacted ICICI Bank official there is no proper respone.

I had availed a personal loan from ICICI Bank inthe year 2004, which has been repaid withinh stipulated time. I had some problem in paying my EMI. My loan got over in July 2007, but due some problem I cleared the loan in month of August 2007 i.e one month later then my stipulated time. I had got the No Dues from bank. But bank has updated my name as defaulter in CIBIL records. Due to this my creditibily has gone down. I am not able get finaince from non other banks due to my name in CIBIL. ICICI bank is doing this purposely to spoil the image of the customer. I had informed bank regarding this but the bank did not pay any attetion. So I request you to please look into the matter and help me out. My contact no is [protected]. My loan account nos is LPPUN[protected].

Hi,

I have ICICI - Club HP Debit Card which I am using for last 4-5 years and I last 4 years I am purchasing fuel from M/s. Western Petrolum, Vikhroli which is ICICI Bank - HP outlet and they never charged me surcharge. Now all of sudden ICICI Bank got up and when I purchased fuel on 15/12/08 swiping my ICICI bank debit card bank debited surcharge on fuel to my account without my knowledge. The reason ICICI bank is claiming is that Petrol Pump cashier swiped my debit Card on other Bank's swiping Machine, isn't that ridiculous.

Thanking you,

Jagananth Patil

The last date of payment had passed on 16/12/2008.

WHERE MY RS. 2000/- gone...

I suggest everybody not to deal with ICICI Bank as in ICICI Bank nobody will here you for their own mistake.

All,

This is an attempt to rescue all future home loan borrowers from refraining to apply loans from ICICI. Please read on and you will understand why.

I applied for home loan with ICICI under their floating rate scheme. Floating rate means rate will fluctuate depending on RBI's rate change policy. Well for ICICI floating means only upward revision. I received a rate of 7.5% in Jan 2005. That was increased to 13.5% as of Jul 2008. Acceptable because RBI kept on increasing the CRR and the Repo rates. In the past 2-3 months RBI has reduced the CRR and Repo rates by around 3-4%. Every PSU banks including some Pvt banks like HDFC bank announced a reduction in their PLR for existing customers. But ICICI has not reduced the rate for its existing customers at all. Instead I was shocked to hear that ICICI offered a lower rates for new customers but not existing customers. When I asked ICICI bank about this they plainly said that there is no downward revision in the rates. When I showed a TOI article about this rate cut for new customers this is what they wrote me

1. We would like to inform you that, you can decrease your Home Loan rate of interest by paying the conversion charges.
2. Process to convert from Floating to Floating Rate of Interest:

You can convert your Rate of Interest from Floating Rate to Floating rate of interest..

What we are offering to you is the additional benefit, where you can reduce your rate of interest Floating to Floating.

According to the confirmation from the department concerned, regarding the conversion of Rate of Interest, the applicable fee is Rs.0.5% on the outstanding principal plus a service tax of 12.36% on the same.

However the Conversion Charges are subject to the changes according to the Bank's discretion.

So now to avail the benefit of a lower interest rate I now have to pay a conversion charge where as this should have been my right under floating rate. Please check the following websites where people like me have expressed similar frustration.

Hi,

Dont use the ICICI credit card .

On reaching USA, I made a phone call from USA to India using phone1 telecom dial service for one minute using my ICICI bank credit card. Phone1 has the head quaters at "100 North Biscayne Bouleward Suite 1200, Miami Florida 33132, [protected]@phone1.com. This a fraud company.They charge 100 dollars to my ICICI bank credit card for a one minute call to india.

I called the ICICI credit card, india branch to cancel the amount credited to my card . They asked to log a complaint at their website. I logged a complain on ICICI bank website. They closed the call saying that they couldnot reach me over the USA phone number which I had provided. So I called them up and asked what information they wanted. They said that they dont know which information that ICICI fello who closed the call want over the phone . Repeated the same thing. You should log a complain in the website and provide an Indian telephone number to which they will call and then make a decision whether or not to close the call or not.

Now I am in USA . When I call them over the telephone they dont help me out. I can give any information that they want. But NO. They have to call me on my telephone number. They cannot call me at an international number. How can I come to India to attend their call.

I just wanted them to cancel the transaction and put it on dispute. They didnt do that. I lost the money because some faud telephone company misused my credit card and ICICI bank disnt take any action.

ICICI bank credit card.

Dear Sir,
This is in with reference to your Control No.[protected], I have had no outstanding on my ICICI Bank credit card against which your record shows an outstanding of Rs. 7210/- as on 31.10.2006 against card no [protected] of ICICI.

When I approached to ICICI bank with all my paid card statements, they were confirming that I have no previous balance to pay on this card. Then I requested them to get the records updated in CIBIL and clean my report but still no step has been taken from their side.

Now I request you to please updated my report in your records

So many private firm are sending letters that this bond will be clossed very soon(giving a dead line). For early redupmtion you send your bond with signutute to us and we will send your money to you. Wheather the firms are autherised to do this on behalf of ICICI bank?

If so please clarify the matter other wise people will be misguided by these firms.

ICICI Credit Card

Dispute against unauthorized transactions On internet by ICICI Prudential.
To,
The ICICI Credit Card Manager

Subject: Regarding raising dispute for transactions on my card. (Service Request Number: SR[protected]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been issued ICICI credit Card: XXXX XXXXXX X5005 (On-line) in Nov 2008. I have not used this card for purchase of any ICICI product or did not fill / sign any form. The card was safe in a locker. Nobody else has access to the card. I have never provided card details to anyone on phone or internet. Thus there are no chances of getting the card details such as card number, CVV number, and expiry date etc.
On 11/12/2008 I got 4 SMS for following transactions
Transaction 1: 1101-00 on 11/12/2008 ICICI Prudential 6.31 PM
(declined as self preset limit was low)
Transaction 2: 4300-00 on 11/12/2008 ICICI Prudential 6.46 (paid)
Transaction 3: 1101-00 on 11/12/2008 ICICI Prudential 6.50
(declined as self preset limit was low)
Transaction 4: 1101-00 on 11/12/2008 ICICI Prudential 7.11 PM
(declined as self preset limit was low)

None of the above transactions were done by me or authorized by me.

I called up the call center as soon as I realized foul play and blocked the card.

I called up at ICICI Prudential customer care & personally visited branch. No record of policy on my name found. They could not give satifactory answer w.r.t. above transactions. Why I should suffer ???????? I gave written application at ICICI Prud., Dadar, Mumbai- 400014 branch. Also, sent fax message on 66466683.

Please investigate this dispute and provide me with a written statement of the outcome.

Yours truly,

V. Bagal

Hi,

I am a Software Engineer with an IT company. I had taken a home loan from ICICI in 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. This also is acceptable. Recently ICICI bank reduced the interest rate by 1.5% for new customer. So if you go for a new loan you will be paying less interest rate than what all existing customer are paying. Isn't it a cheating with existing customers.

Why this step motherly treatment for existing customers? Do Existing customers don't have any importance for ICICI.

We are having a current account in ICICI bank bearing account no.[protected] in the name of “ TDH OVERSEAS PRIVATE LIMITED” . We have opened this account through your official Mr. Sunil Kumar( Contact no. [protected]) 3-4 months back.

After the account got opened, I got a service call from your Mumbai office that the quaterly minimum balance maintenance is Rs.500, 000/- ( In words : Five lacs only) . I was very surprised because at the time of opening account I was informed that the minimum maintenance of balance would be just Rs. 10, 000/- . I then came to know through them that I have to fill up a Variance form for lower maintenance balance.

We then contacted Mr. Sunil Kumar about the same and got to know that it was a mistake in processing the documents but the same could be rectified by just filling up a form “ Variance form”. The same was filled again through Mr. Sunil Kumar very next day of your service call from Mumbai branch.

Now our account has been charged with Rs. 3932.60( In words : Three thousand nine hundred thirty two and paisa sixty only) on[protected] for non maintenance of quarterly minimum balance. After I got to know that the said amount has been debited from my account I again called up Mr. Sunil Kumar and got to know that the variance form was processed at the same time but could be fault of your operation department.

I just wanted to know that why my account is being charged if your officials are repeating the mistakes.


Thanks and loooking forward to get the matter resolved.

I was informed by ICICI credit card department that Visa Bill Pay service is free of cost and after 3 months they have charged me BILL PAY ANNUAL FEE of Rs 184.27 (100+75+9.27). When i enquired with the customer care they say the charges have made recently and it has been informed. I denied that there are no information and they argue that's not their problem.

I had heared from friends saying ICICI is actually made lots of frauds like this and i have experienced this personnaly now. I am sure one day these people will face trial and its gonna been soon.

I have decided not to have any connection with ICICI in my life time.
