HDFC Bank — Complaint against an HDFC ERGO policy issued forcefully with my credit card

Address:Kolkata, West Bengal, 700001

I took a credit card in June 2015 from HDFC bank. Upon receiving the card they said that with the card comes an insurance policy from HDFC ERGO.I denied taking it but was insisted to take it up. They made me say that 'I want this policy to be started' over phone calls made from Delhi and other regions. The first Agent identified herself as Pratima Barua from HDFC bank from kolkata 700001(as she said) with phone number [protected] . She said that the policy is for 2 years but we will deactivate it after 6 months for you i.e. I have to pay for 6 months and I will get the amount of 6 months, back on the 7th month.I have already paid it for 6 months . Now when I called on that number ([protected]), it doesn't get connected. I am really worried as I have no one to contact to . Moreover, similar complaints have been posted in the web. Who will I have to reach in case the 7h EMI is deducted? Why does an Organization like HDFC have to fool customers and sell their products forcefully .

Hi,

I called up HDFC customer care and ERGO customer care as well. They all asked me to cancel the policy but none of them could answer regarding the refund. While initiating the policy they said that if I don't claim for six months, they'll refund the amount that I've paid and cancel the policy. But now they say that they'll only cancel it without refunding a single penny.

Regards,
Priyanka
