[Resolved]  Standard Chartered Credit Card — Cheating

Address:

Karnataka

Hello,

This is with regards to a standard chartered credit card. This company cheated me by giving incorrect details before opting for the credit card and the card after receipt had different offers.

I was told that the minimum balance starts from 40,000 and is till 4lacs. However, my credit card's total balance is 27,000/-. Secondly, I was told that i will get a gift vucher of 1500/- from life style and i can purchase anything from lifestyle.

Guess what i got, i got 1500/- lifestyle voucher but i can use it only if i shop for 7000/- and in which i have to purchase furniture for 5000/- and kids toys for 2000/-. Imagine me buying kids stuffs without even getting married. They have played with my emotions also...

lastly, they say there is an offer if you purchase a movie ticket you get aother movie ticket free but that offer was valid only till september. but the day got my card was 04/10/2011.

Last but not the least, before opting for the card i got atleast 5 calls per day for documents and filling papers. However, when i got the card and had so many issues (mentioned above) the team is not receiving calls nor responding to messages. After a week i get a message that as theirwas auditgoing on in the team could not pick the call. Second message says we got a solution for your issue and we will call you tomorrow evening. That evening never arrived. I do not know which evening they were refering too... may be tey have taken the saying seriously that "Tomorrow Never Comes".

I am not sure how this helps but i thought other people should not get cheated by this fraud company (Standard Charterd) and that is the reason i have mentioned all these details...
