Standard Chartered Bank — Undue Charges levied/ Overdue amount loaded and name blacklisted on website

I had applied for SCB card in 1999, i used this card for approximate 2-3 Years. But some late Charges were levied on me without a fault of mine. I escalated the issue. Finally, they agreed to revert the charges and i decided to discontinue my relation with bank. Recently, i got to know i am black listed by SCB in 2003( Name was not mentioned, but i could make out by Creation Date). Which is really embarassing and it had given bad name to me and my parents

Standard Chartered Bank — Undue charges

I was holding Stanchart Credit card during[protected]. In the end, my monthly statement showed some internet transaction of about Rs. 2200/- which I had not incurred. I communicated this to the bank and requested them to reverse the debit as it was wrongly debited to my credit card account.

Thereafter bank neither reversed the debit nor provided any kind of explanation for the charged debited to my account. Frustrated, I requested closure of my credit card account and refused to pay the wrongly debited amount.

Nine years down the line, I approached, State Bank Of India for Home loan. SBI checked my credit report with CIBIL. (Third Party agency that provided credit report of individuals). My credit report showed unsettled amount of about Rs. 39, 000 against above mentioned transaction. I was told that unless I settle this account Stanchart will not clear my name from the CIBIL report.

On approaching Stanchart over, mail, toll free number, We mail I was further informed to pay over 42, 000 for getting NOC.

Since I had already committed for purchase of flat, I had no option but to pay this unjustified amount and get NOC from Stanchart.

This episode gives feeling to consumers that you will have to pay everything demanded by bank evenif the transaction is not made by you. If you refuse to pay, they will spoil your credit report and would make all loans impossible for you.

I have sent mail to Omsbudman of Reserve Bank of India but have not received any response so far from them.

May I request proper advice from other consumers in this regards?
