Hi Team,
This is inform you regarding the unprofessional behaviour of HDFC Customer Service Executive. To give short description of my issue, the total amount due on my card for the month of May, 22 was Rs.513569 where 23rd May, 2022 was the due date of the same & 30th May, 2022 is the next bill generation date.
I had paid Rs.400000 on 22nd May, 2022 & Rs.113569 on 26th May, 2022. One payment was within the due date & one payment was within the next bill generation date.
The next bill got generated on 31th May, 2022 which with the interest amount of Rs. 15362 & I gave the call to the HDFC customer care people mentioning that I had paid all the amount which was due & when I am getting charged more interest on the whole amount.
They told they will try the reversal of the interest amount to the minimum extend. I told NO for their proposal of just providing the minimum amount.
They then told to escalate it to the next level through the emails on customerservices.[protected]@hdfcbank.com starting for 16th June, 2022.
One of the First Customer Service Office Md Azarudeen Arabi, offered the amount of Rs.10000 billed towards the finance charges on 22nd June, 2022. Then I replied to them asking the amount to paid after the reversal of Rs.10000 from Rs.15362 so that I can close the account.
But another customer service office Vasanth R R came into picture after 3 days of the email, he started saying you need to pay the amount fully & the reversal will reviewed & will be done after you make the full payment due.
In the meanwhile the due date of the June has passed due to the late response of the HDFC bank officials. Now the due amount of the same has increased to Rs. 19164 which I am not responsible for paying it.
I again called the Customer Service People on 5th July, 2022 & described over the issue. First call was answered by Raj; then it was passed to the Ami Patel from the escalation team she told she was sent the internal email to the responsible people Md Arabi & Vasanth R R to look into the matter & opened the complaint number [protected]. (which was closed as soon I kept the call)
Today in the morning I recieved the letter from HDFC Bank from the collection team, in that email it was mentioned that your Credit card is blocked & the amount of Rs.770 is blocked as the minimum payment. This was the unexpected behaviour from the HDFC Bank.
When our talks on the amount disputes is not finalised, how they can action of blocking the amount from my Debit Account.
Due to the above action, my loan account ECS has been bounced as they blocked the amount which impacted the EMI amount. Now I am responsible for the bounced charges from both the account (my savings as well as the another bank). Now who is responsible for the amount charges.
Today as per the post recieved, I called the officer incharged on +91 [protected] - Lekha Vohra. Unfortunately she was not there & the call was answered by Miss Sonali. Who apparently seems to be a very rude & unprofessional person, when I started saying talks she told talk to the people who emailed you & all.. This is collection department & we have the rights to hold the money & all & she disconnected the call.
The lady has no respect at all... That lady is a also a labour not any queen.. She cant talk to the person like this.. No one has given her any rights to insult others.
The email chain complain reference number - 3032980.
Hope Consumer Complaints are taken into considersation & helpful for the people like us.
