[Resolved] HDFC Bank — credit card service is exploiting customers with extraordinary charges | |||||
Hi Amol This Side, I am using HDFC bank credit card. On 5th Sep my credit card bill was due for Rs 19863. As autopay was set and to settle this payment I deposited a cheque in my home branch worth 80000 on 31st Aug 2018. As per RBI rule this cheque was suppose to disburse within 3 days I. E. Max to max on 3rd Sep. But not got cleared. During this time I was continuesly taking follow up with customer care, personal banker and home branch but they ask me to wait. Till 5th of Sep cheque not cleared and my credit card payment dishonoured due to insufficient balance. So bank charged me Over limit fees - 500 Payment return charges - 450 And late fees - 750 +18% gst. Then my home branch told me cheque I deposited was very old and it appears for clearing only twice a month. Here my concern is, I was not aware of this. But the bank officials who received cheque from me and gave me stamp receipt of pay in slip. Must be aware of this. But he didn't inform me anything while accepting cheque. Then I called customer care and asked him to cancle these charges. He was convinced and he took my request. Again after 2 days I received message that your request is declined. I honestly believe this is bank officials mistake and even not communicated with me for a week even I was taking follow-up. Thus I should not suffer of charged unnecessarily. Was this information helpful? | |||||
Nov 25, 2018 Complaint marked as Resolved HDFC Bank customer support has been notified about the posted complaint. Verified Support Oct 25, 2018 HDFC Bank Customer Care's response Dear Customer, As you may be aware, any payment returned would attract a payment return charge. In view of the same, the autopay return fee has been levied. We observe from our records that your card usage has exceeded the credit limit assigned to your card account and hence over-limit fee has been levied. To explain it further, when the total outstanding on your card account (including the balance principle loan amount if any) exceeds your assigned credit limit, an over-limit fee of 2.5% of the over-limit amount subject to a minimum of Rs.500.00 would get levied. With regard to your query on the reason for allowing transaction on your card exceeding the limit, we wish to clarify you that to avoid inconvenience at the time of transaction you were allowed to use the card above the limit and same is being done as a goodwill gesture to all the customers. -Anay HDFC Bank Customer Assistance | |||||
