Dear Sir,
I have taken SBI card in 2005 with the agreement that its free for life. Last 3 years I never been charged with Annual fee, however, this year I received a statement in which they charged Annual fee of Rs.750/-. When I sent mail regarding this, they replied that I need to pay it. As per my understanding, they should not charge annual fee, when I requested to send my agreement, they are not replying anything on this regard.

Thanks and Regards

1. You have charged me Rs.500/- overlimit fee -- when did I make purchases over Rs.15, 000/-?

2. I had asked you some months back to ensure that statements of account of this credit care be addressed to <[protected]@gmail.com> instead of the old e-mail address <[protected]@giasbm01.vsnl.net.in>.
I find that the statement dated 03.02.2009 has been addressed to the old vsnl e-mail address.

3. My above complaint addressed to your e-mail address <sbicards.[protected]@ge.com> this morning has been returned as being undeliverable.

4. Your helpline phone[protected] is continuously busy and if I dial 39020202 I am advised to dial the new helpl line no -- Yet both Nos. are given in the current statement sent to me on 05.02.2009.

I trust this complaint will result in some corrective action being taken by yoou

Thank you

Respected Authority, I have given the application for the issue of ATM card since 3 months .but due to some unknown reasons i havn't got my ATM card yet
So kindly take attention to this problem and i hope u will try to solve it




.

Hi,
I hold a saving account with SBI, Bannerghatta Road branch in Bangalore. I have applied for a replacement debit card. It was told to me that card will be delivered within 15 days of giving the application. It's already close to 2 months now. But card has not been delivered yet.

Every year SBI is charging me Rs 50/- for debit card facility. On the top of it I have been charged Rs 200/- as card replacement fee. I have applied for the replacement card second time now. But I never received the debit card. I enquired from the SBI branch as well. No one takes care of customers issues in this brach. They make people to stand for hours and after some ones turns come they don't provide any satisfactory answer for that.

Till today I am waiting for the debit card to come. If this year I'll be charged Rs 50/- for debit card facility, I'll pull SBI to consumer court.

Regards,
Deepak

Sub: Housing loan irregularities Housing loan from SBI, Noida, Sector 2 Branch - the A/C No is [protected] - unauthorised deduction of money from saving account


I have housing loan from the SBI Noida scet 2 branch and the Bank is now taking money off from my saving account. On the top of it Iam asked to pay EMIs on irregular...

Sir, SBI had issued a credit card No. [protected] in the year 2001.Due to unsatisfactory service extended and poor operating system of SBI such as not acknowledging receipt of payment and indulging in delaying in receipt of payment so as to put the customers in to trouble in terms of levying delayed charges, exorbitant amount a/c interest etc, I had wound up the card and the cancelled (torn off) card was sent to SBI in the year 2003.After 4 years in July 2006, suddenly, the recovery agent of SBI called up and started torturing for making payment of Rs.14 598.This was followed by a notice dt.28/7/2006 through its advocate stating that before initiating any legal action, SBI intends for settlement through a process of Conciliation and accordingly one Mr. Jay K.Shah at Ahmedabad is to be visited who would act as Conciliator. The matter was accordingly discussed with him on 19/8/06 and records of payment made well in time against all dues were given. He after verification confirmed that report on NIL outstanding would be put up to SBI and copy would be sent to me. However till date no letter /report from him has been received. Further the matter was discussed with one Mr. Sanjay Mahajan of SBI's advocate.He after thourough verification also confirmed that there is no outstanding and no report of any bouncing of instrument etc and hence there could possible an error. I have also replied to SBI notice dt.28/7/2006 through my advocate on 8/9/2006 and also written a letter dt. 6/9/2006 to BM, SBI Credit Card Corporate Office Ashram Rd, Ahmedabad.Since then I have not received any reply till date from SBI.However suddenly a recovery agent of SBI called me up in November 2008 and started threatening that unless I make immediate payment of Rs.30000/-, I will have to face unforeseen consequences.He was not prepared to listen and refused to give the details of outstanding.The above kind of act is totally immoral, irresponsible and Draconian act of indulging in recovering money in an ungraceful, shamefulway by such a big financial institute is totally unwarranted.Hence I approach you to get legitimate support and justice.

I was informed by SBI Card department that and amount of Rs.4400.00+2180.00 made purchased on 28.01.09 at Faridabad against my card No.[protected]. Whereas the said card is with me and on 28.01.2009 i was on official tour to Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Pipelines Division, Bijwasan, New Delhi and my residence is at Gurgaon and I posted at Panipat. On confirmation from SBI Card helpline that new card was despatched to me on 5th January 2009 whereas the same was not received by me. I lodged the complaint on 29.01.2009 vide complaint number A[protected] and till date no reply received from the concerned department for waiving the purchasing of Rs.4400+2180.00 which was not purchased by me.

i m md shabbar. presently in amritsar. my home is in delhi. in month of nov i went home and i withdrawn some money from jahangirpuri atm. when i came back to amritsar i submitted 5000 rs in bank on 22 dec 08. on 02 jan 09 again i submitted 5000 rs and when i saw my balance it was only 5000 in place of 10000 rs. when i complained in the brach they said that money was withdrawn from atm (branch 4292). but there is no branch of the code 4292. they said that money was withdrawn from atm card so they cannot do any thing. my branch is in rajasansi sbi branch.

Dear sir,

SBI card is charging us Annual fee and when we took the card they informed us that it is a lifetime free card, kindly look into the matter if possible

I have made transaction on 30/12/2008 from one of the ATM at C.V.Raman Nagar, DRDO Campus, Bangalore.
I did first transaction for Rs.2000/- which was not successful and I didn’t receive any amount. After that I used second ATM, besides the first one, this time the transaction of Rs.2000/- was successful.
Now I checked balance amount in my account, which was showing only one transaction, which is right.

When I checked balance, on second day, I saw there were two transactions done on 30/12/2008 and the amount was also deducted from my account, however I receive amount for only one transaction (second) and other was false (first).

I have already sent, complaint application to my parent bank(Chennai).

Till not i don't have any information from them.

When i contact respective branch, the attitude of bank person was so rude towards me. He also told me to forget the amount or else contact you parent branch, they can not do any thing.

I have already withdrawn all my amount from SBI account and transfered to my ICICI account, as this is not first instance i faced with SBI.

Sir,

I am an employee of MTNL Delhi (a PSU of Govt Of India). I have applied for Housing loan (Take over Loan from ICICI Bank) in State Bank of India Swasthya Vihar, Delhi-92.

In this regard I submit that

1. I have submitted the photo copies of all the sale deeds starting from 23.12.1983.

2. The original sale deeds from 1983 upto 1996 may be with the M/S ODEAN BUILDERS. But I am not at all directly related to the Builder.

3. The sale deed of 1996 made in the name of Saroj Gupta by M/S ODEAN BUILDERS and the sale deed of 2005 made on me by Saroj Gupta, are with ICICI bank A letter from ICICI bank in this regard has already been submitted with the application.

Sh. Aditya Madan Advocate, Standing Counsel SBI ( S-496, Greater Kailash-1, New Delhi-110048, Pone: 29230558, 29234668, Mob: [protected]) made me a call from his Mobile No. [protected] at 14 hrs on 02/02//2009. He told me that as per the guidelines provided to him by SBI, the original sale-deeds starting from 1983 onward is to be arranged by me for verification, otherwise your loan can not be approved.

As far as my knowledge is concerned, the verification of sale-deeds is normally being done by the Advocate Counsel of the Bank from the Registrar Office.

I am feeling very much herassed and cheated, as an amount of Rs. 3200/- against legal verification has already been paid by me to SBI.

Again I need a copy of Guidelines Issued if any by SBI to Sh Aditay Madan Advocate.

Mr. Ajay Bharti (AVP-Customer Services) / Manager- Customer Services

Sir
There has been no proper response from your office & I have completely lost my trust with SBI Cards due to misleading & unfulfilled promises made by your executives. More over it seems you do not have an effective Customer Grievance Redressal Mechanism in place.

Further your office has not responded at all, to my mail dt. 15.01.2009, 17.01.2009 & 20.01.2009. I am not using my card since I received the Bill with wrong charges of Annual Fee on 10.01.2009

I request you to cancel my card with immediate effect, as I shall not like to continue my association with SBI Cards. Also send me the confirmation for the same.

As per communication with your helpline executive, In case of cancellation of my card, I will not have to pay any annual Fees for the year 2009.

You are requested to issue a zero balance statement


I shall be highly obliged
With Regards
A K Gupta

Sir

Thanks for your response . Pl. also ref my mail dt. 14.01.09, 11.41.07 IST.

You have not responded to the points raised by me in my mail dt. 10.01.09. I request you to clarify the below issues:

I fail to understand the logic of your not charging any amount in 2008, and waving the same in 2006 & 2007. Pl clarify the following:
1. Why this year you have charged the annual fee, when it is being not charged for the last three years.
2. Further I had received a call from SBI card for making my card life time free- was it some sort of marketing gimmick, or it was false & misleading information provided by SBI card executives ?
3. I contacted your card helpline on 10.01.09, and it was suggested that I can switch over from my existing card
to SBI Gold or More Card & In this case there shall be no Annual Fees payable as it will be free lifetime card. I shall be charged only Rs. 200/- as one time Flip charges. Also for existing card the Annual fees will not be applicable due flip over of card. Pl. reconfirm the position to enable me to proceed with flip over of the card.


4. If the information given by your executives is not true (as mentioned by me in point 2 & 3 above and my mail dt 10.1.09), I shall not like to continue my relationship any further with SBI Card. You may understand, It will not be trust worthy to maintain relationship with SBI cards in this case.

5. Pl. also re-confirm, if I finally choose, to not continue with SBI card, in that case no Annual fees as charged for year 2009, shall be payable.

I await an early response

With Regards

Asst. Vice President- Customer Services
Reg.: Wrong Debit of Annual Fee

Sir,
I am a card holder since 8th December 1999. I have not defaulted even once in payment. I am not holding any other card till date.
From 2006 Annual Fee has not been charged on my card. (On 7th Jan 2007 Rs.561.20 was charged as Annual Fee, but after my communication with customer care it was reversed on 11th Jan 2007. On 7th Jan 2006 annual fee was charged, but after my communication with customer care it was reversed on 17th Jan 2006.)

In Jan 2008 I received a call from SBI, communicating that, my card has been converted to life time free and I shall not be charged any Annual Fee, here in after. In Jan 2008 no charges of Annual Fee were levied.

I request you to honor the commitment given, by SBI card, that no Annual Fee shall be levied to me and reverse the charges debited to me on 7th Jan 2009, immediately. This shall help me to retain my faith in SBI cards.

With Regards

They asked me to wait for 45 days to get cleared the problem. But nothing is set right even after 2 months. I feel constrained to approach consumer forum for your callous attitude shortly.
