Dear Sir, I have an account with HDFC Bank since long time and very recently noticed that there has been 2 deductions of around Rs 850 each without any information to me. When tried reaching bank officials, i was told that they have charged annual maintenance fee for Demat account which i had never opted for or used any demat services. Instead of helping me, they rejected my request for reversal of deductions stating that my signature does not match. I would request bank officials to revert back my money or i would be forced to escalate this fraud case to higher level. My account no: [protected] Vinod Kumar ph [protected]

I have a salaried account in HDFC Bank. At the time of opening account, they came to my company and gave full assurance that they will also provide credit card to us. But when I, along with some of my colleagues, tried applying for it, they are continuously degrading us by saying that U are not economically stable for credit card. First time, they rejected my application saying that I do not have proper residence. But on my actual application when I saw it, was written there as "INCORRECT MOBILE NUMBER", although cont. no. was correct. Here, they were trying to misguide us as well by giving improper reasons. When I told this to HDFC agent, he again told me to reapply for it, this time I took utmost precaution and checked my application does not have any cons and shouldn't get rejected. They came for physical verification as well and approved it also.. But again, , I received a letter saying my application again got rejected. When tried calling Customer Care and asked the reason about the same, they dont even want to tell me the actual reason for the rejection. Just telling us to reapply for it after 6 months. I dont know, this is how they behave with their valuable customers. We all are planning to lodge a complaint regarding this to our Company's HR dept and dismantle their services from company.

Need urgent help on this. My application reference was: [protected]S3 and Customer ID is: 53789476

I had purchases worth 40972/- in the month of Jan 2013, however due to an error on my part I paid 35992/-. In the bill of feb 2013, I was charged a finance amount of 1702/-. I placed many calls at the call centre and finally having got through to an executive I explained the issue. He helped me realize the shortfall of payment. The executive told me that the finance charges were levied on the entire outstanding bill amount. My argument was that the finance charges should be on the outstanding amount and not on the entire bill as that amount was not even due to the bank as yet. However I accepted my error and agreed to pay the shortfall amount of Rs 5000/-. I also made a request to reverse the late fee etc. The executive agreed and told me that he will put in a request.

However on seeing bills of the following months I saw that the finance charge and late fee charged was not reversed as promised and had now multiplied. I made repeated calls to the call center to resolve the issue but to no avail. Infact the reversal of finance charges requested in March was done in the month of July, however since then the amount had mounted and was much more than the amount reversed. The delay in processing the request by the bank has been penalized to me.

I continued to make repeated calls to the call center and tried to get this issue resolved. But all the calls led to no resolution and the amount has kept mounting since then. Since following up on phone calls was tedious and I had no record on my end, finally I resorted to writing emails to the grievance redressal since the month of June 2013 as well. The responses to my emails have taken up to two weeks or more and often have been incomplete without understanding the issue. I have sometime just been sent a set of statements with no information which has only led to loss of time again and again on the behalf of the bank.

On many occasions I have also written that the delay in response to my queries leads to overshooting of my payment date but all this is to no avail and the sense o[censored]rgency has been only on my end. On many occasions I received calls from people from the bank promising to resolve the issue but they never ever got back. I was given email id’s of supposedly senior people at the bank who rarely respond. Ofcourse not to mention the harassing calls made to me by the collection agents. It is difficult to get through the call center executives and sometimes require a waiting time of 20-25 mins. I have occasionally had to disconnect the call in frustration.

I have also had a visit from the recovery agent to my residence which in my understanding is unlawful.

I would also like to put on record that I have been a long time user of the HDFC credit card and have never had such an issue and because of my good payment history I regularly been upgraded in my credit limits etc. I have usually been a heavy user of my credit card and always been regular in making payments.
On this current issue I would like to mention that I have made a payment of every single rupee transaction I have made using the card. The only outstanding amount that shows up on the card is the mounting latefee and finance charges which are unreasonable as it due to the unresponsive or late responses on the part of the bank. Infact I have also paid the Rs 150/- transaction fee for redeeming my points as well as the last late fee in the month of Nov/Dec 2013.

Please help me regarding this issue.

Dear sir
I had applied to hdfc bank for car loan and after all conversetion and taking all condition in written i finallised the loan from them and after gettin approval letter i took the car and after 2 days they suddenly added a unknown policy premium to my loan amount and rised the intrest rate by 0.55%.

Dear Team, This is about how HDFC has been charging me and then tricked me. If yes, would you be kind enough to tell me why there have been so many deductions in my account # [protected]. I have not used that account in years. I have sent multiple emails to you asking to close the account. If I visit a branch they tell me that I have to get my bank account transferred to their branch and then only they can close my account. Then you put my account into negative by penalising me. Your team lied to me by saying that if I deposit money then they will waive the negative amount and I can maintain the minimum balance and there won't be anymore deduction. So last week I put 15K into the account. The negative amount got balanced and your team didn't help. Now you have been charging me with something like the below every two days. Soon my account will go to negative again because you keep feeding yourselves on my money like a leech. Is there any difference between you and the extorters ?? Do you have any idea about when will you stop this harassment and cheating? Regards, Sujit.

Dear Raj Singh/Shikha

In my case misbehaviour is an understatement, the customer care agents were not only rude they were crass. They were talking to me in the most informal tone and as if I am their servant. In fact I don''t even speak that way to my maid and car cleaners. I got a call from the no. [protected] which was supposedly from the Janakpuri Branch. I spoke to 3 different people- a lady Avanti, a Senior Manager Rajat Bhatia and a third person who did not disclose his name. I am late in making my payment due to some personal reason and for that the bank has already charged late fee an finance charges which I have accepted. Now they call me everyday and when I told them a chk has been dropped this woman says chk toh ATM mein pada rahega cash nahi dal sakte the?? is this how u speak?? and this unknown person has was the rudest of all he says "Tumahre jeb mein paise hain?? jeb mein paise nahi hai toh card leke kyon ghoomte ho? " I mean just look at the language and other than that their tome was so bad it was a total verbal abuse. Irrespective of what the person''s background is in real life as long as he is calling me as a bank''s representative I am the customer and he HAS to respect me and speak cordially... How dare he take that tone kya kar logi and all... the agents literally lick our feet to open an account and once we do are they supposed to treat us like crap?? I really want something to be done and rest assured I will take up this case and spread in as many forums and social media I can...this is not done.
