I hold a cc of hdfc bank no [protected] and have not been able to pay the minimum balance since 30 days as have grave financial situation.i am getting calls from nos [protected]/[protected]/[protected]/[protected]/[protected]/[protected] from a guy identifying himself as Shahid Shaikh from HDFC Bank Credit Card collection department and demanding payment else he will send collection guys to my house.
He calls me at least 27-30 times a day on my cell phone and also on my landline numbers also just as many times also calls up my spouse number he is just badgering and harassing me.is this the way your bank treats its customers, he tells me to go and pay the amount immediately, also he questions me as to why i have used my cc if have no intention to pay, to date i must have paid almost 3 times the amount for which i used the cc several years ago, but the amount just doesnt reduce but keeps going up and up.
This is type of badgering and threatening is not expected from a bank of your reputation with whom i have had a relationship of several years.
This guy starts calling me from 8.30 in the morning and goes on calling till after 7pm, he even calls me on sunday claiming that his department has a shortfall and hence he is working on sunday as well.
I request you to stop this kind of harassment, i have always paid my dues and the same will also be cleared once i am out of this financial mess, but by badgering, harassing, threatening me that the bank will send collection guys to my house will not solve the problem.
I had earlier complained to HDFC bank about 3 years ago on this same matter since the collections guy had called up my wife and called her all kinds o[censored]nsavoury names and abused her, the calls had than become civil and courteous, now this guy mr.Shahid Shaikh calls incessantly through the day, he claims that i come to kanjurmarg to ascertain that he is an employee of HDFC bank, which i find it hard to accept when he calls me even on sundays.(which Bank employee works on sunday)
There has to be some limit to the extent that the bank goes to in harassing customers, instead of threatening me and badgering me for payments of rs.1800/rs 2000/- why doesn't the bank go after the large defaulters who owe monies in lacs and crores to them.
I request hdfc bank to do something about this kind o[censored]nruly behaviour of its collection staff.
Am attaching screen shot of some of the number of calls that have been received from the bank collection department on 28th february.
