[Resolved]  Standard Chartered Bank — Unnecessary charges levied on me.

Hi,
Few years back I have opted for Standard Chartered's Manhattan card. At that time I myself transferred the money using ICICI Bank Visa money transfer and paid 2 my Manhattan Credit Card due balance and which Manhattan Credit Card's Accounts department was not agreeing that they received the money. Later on, after 10 months I received the mail from Customer care that they got the money, in reply to that I have asked them to settle my card as I don't want there card and received no mails no replies from the customer care.

Today after a very long time a call was being made at my residence (+91 [protected]) stating that I have some amount due on my card (Card was never used from last more then 2years). Inspite o[censored]pdating these people regarding the same , they used abusive language and told my family to make the payment else will send some wrong people to your place for the recovery. And they asked my family to contact Mr. Anand at +[protected], (email id - anand.[protected]@yahoo.com) Delhi number (Money recovery cell).
Standard Chartered even have my email id but no letter / email was sent to me. I was in London from last 1 & 1/2 year and now moved to Zurich. If any thing goes wrong or any thing happens to my family Standard Chartered people will be responsible for it...

I'll now ask my family to go to consumer court and file a case against you people for harrasment previously and now as well. As previous all payments / bills were cleared on time and I have also provided RBI reference number after requesting ICICI Bank.

Please find the mail below the complete conversation between myself and the Creditcard department.

Hi Suprita,


Got your mail... But still you are not getting my point which I have raised.

I don't care what ever the balance is... But the thing is I've done the Fund Transfer (Visa money transfer) from my ICICI Saving Bank Account (A/c No.[protected] on 08 Oct 2005 for Rs. 1226/- and according to you ppl "Your payment of Rs.1,226.00 is credited to your card ending with 1970 on 07/11/2005."

NOW WHERE IS MY MONEY FOR 1 MONTH, WHO WAS USING MY MONEY... AND YOU PPL MUST HAVE CHARGED LATE CHARGES AS WELL ON THE SAME.

Right now I'm in London, will come back only after 2 years, but I want this thing to get settled.

I want you ppl to settle my account and adjust my points what ever they have and what ever might be the balance.

Hi Suprita,


This is really very shocking from you people.

Firstly you people are responding after a great amount of delay and there is no regret from your side for the same and still when you are saying that you have received the money. And you are responding after so many follow-up and still there is a big issue why this is still there
- "the total damages on your account ending with 9147 is Rs.3,265.30."

You are not accepting your faults and in this way you are directly saying to the customer to take legal action against you people.

When I had done fund transfer on 07 Sep 2005 for Rs. 1195/- (RBI Ref.
No. - 527089) & on 08 Oct 2005 for Rs. 1226/- and you are accepting it that you received the payment almost after 10 months chase, still there is a big goof-up in this. When you do a fund transfer online it will take 2 days to 3 days at max. Then how come you people are saying that you have received the payment so late. Where is my money gone for that period. I'm giving you the printshots of my statements, then also very same response really very shocking to me.

The kind of mental tension you people have given to me and to my family, daily calls on my mobile for non-payments.

Hi Akhila Ashok / Shuvbidha / Manasi / Bhavya / Tej / Chandrika / Jesica / Richard, ,


Today, I got a call from one of your representatives stating that "your due amount is Rs.6000/- but we can settle them for Rs. 3500/-. Inspite of giving you the RBI ref. no. for the transaction and all the details with printshots for the money transfer that I had done, you people are unable to trace out where my money gone and asking me to pay for it unnecessarily.

I again want you to check your records, go thru it properly and check where my money has gone. Else this time I'll go to consumer court.

Give me anybody's contact number, your complaint cell no. I want to call them up.

Hello,


This is Arunima Bhattacharyya I would not like to comment on any complaints but would like to complain myself. After going through so many mails it is absolutely shocking for me to to discover that I might be in a similar position myself.

Some five years back we had 2(primary and secondary) SCB credit cards which we had given up at April 2007 after paying all the oustanding amounts.But all of a sudden in April 2009 we received a notice from SCB that we apper in Lok Adalat for non payments of oustanding amounts (Rs.12733). We did appear and the case against us was dropped after the hearing because we did not have any dues

. The recovery department In order to extract money from us apportioned the expenditure in both the cards, when the primary card had never been swiped.

In spite of the case being dropped the matter was not settled there we went to the bank for a letter of settlement and were asked to negotiate for an amount of Rs.2100. To cut the matter short, we did that too, but ultimately to no avail, our names it seems, have appeared in the defaulters lists.

Now I would like to fight the matter out Against the Head of the recovery department but how I do it none of complaint cells picks up any phone.I would like to bring a case for unnecessary harrasment and bullying us for paying undue sums.Also I would like to know the SIBIL procedures.

Standard Chartered Bank — Non receipt of the Credit Balance refund in two months

Credit Card No: [protected]

Dear Sir,

I am a Credit Card holder of your bank since 1999. But I am sorry to say that now a days a worst possible service from your end.

Since 20th Sep'09 I keep on requesting that a credit balance amounting Rs. 3706.37 is lying in a Balance Transfer A/c. vide no. [protected] to transfer to my Savings Bank Account vide no. [protected].

But today is 18th Nov'09 no action has been taken. I also faxed a letter to Credit Card department. But no action. Most unfortunate thing is when ever I made contact with your Phone Banking officers they told me that, they have took the action and my Credit balance will be transfered to my savings bank account within 7 working days.

Two three days back I gave a e.mail to Standard Chartered Bank but till today no reply.

Sir, I want your action and result. So that I can get my money.

Hi My Name is Dharmendra Gusain I right now going through the same situation. I was using there card from 2002 to 2004 and there was always problem in getting statement in time. because of this i was forced to stop using the card. As per my record i have already settled their card dues and there were some late payment and extra charges of Rs 617.97 which i have been promised that time (Jan 2005) that will be waved off. I came to know only last week when i have applied for home loan that an amount of Rs. 41749 is overdue and which have been reported to CIBIL. Now LIC where i have applied for home loan want me to get no due certificate from them and they are asking me to pay full overdue amount to get it. This is a claer blackmail practice they are udopting now days since they know that my home loan will not be passed until i get no due certificate from them.

I also request CIBIL to please go through the complete details before they accept any kind of report for updation in there database. I am also using other banks card from long time and there no such case about not paying in time. Standard Charted was just sleeping all these five/six year and never bothered of contacting me or sending me atleast a email about this.

This is very disgusting. Please let me know how do I contact CIBIL and put up my my case.
Hi,

I had taken Card Enhancement Pack(CEP) as requested by your Insurance team from Standard Chartered Bank. At least 10 times they called me up to take the pack. While taking the pack it is confirmed that if it won't be utilized money would be refunded as per the policy. I had taken the CEP around Apr 2011 and I didn't get any chance to use it. As per the policy I have already cancelled for current year and asked for the last year refund amount (Ref:[protected] Dt:15 Feb). Soon I had sent CEP pack to your Bangalore address as mentioned by Customer care Executive (Courier: DTDC CNno: P[protected].
I keep calling about the status of refund amount since March 2012, but every time got bad response.

When I called on 6th Apr 2012, Asha Ilangovan told me that it was sent to Out bound team, I would be getting status of the same soon.(Refno[protected] Dt:6th Apr)
I didn't get any response, waited with so much of patince.
When I called again on 13th Apr 2012, Vimal Kumar told me that it was sent to Insurance Team, I would be getting status of the same in 14 days.(Complaint no[protected] Dt:13th Apr)
I didn't get any response, waited for 1 month.
I called on 15 may 2012 to Customer care and escalated the complaint, Divya Menon picked up and transferred to Shantini- Credit card Floor manager, Bangalore.
I was told by Shantini that i would be getting response within 3 working days. (Reference: 161956)
First time i got call from SCB on18 May 2012, Ruchi(Operations- Bangalore) spoke to me (Ref: BL01/05/12/161981/E01) but didn't provide any positive response.
