Hello Experts,
I had some issue with HDFC Credit Card and finally we had a settlement, upon settlement HDFC gave me a waiver amount of Rs. 29000/- in July 2009.
Now when I applied for Personal loan at Citi Bank, they rejected my application saying Bad CIBIL report.
so I applied for Cibil Report and found HDFC Credit Card Status reflecting SETTLED, so then I understood Settled means Bank was unable to recover full amount.
so I asked HDFC Debt Recovery team to let me know what is my total waiver amount that i received and the interest incured so that I can pay in Full and Final.
very Next Day I got a call from a person, he informed me he is from HDFC and informed I have to pay Rs. 23,800/- and he said, since my card is in Blocked state I cannot pay by cheque he said I need to pay cash. I got fooled here, i blindly agreed, very next day he sent a collection guy to my office address,
the guy gave me a forged HDFC settlement letter, and Cash Receipt for 23800/-
Now when I contacted HDFC, they say, they have NOT received the cash.
I went to police, police said, you expressed your desire to pay the due to HDFC Debt Recovery Represetative - and if someone comes with your Credit Card info, HDFC's Original Cash Receipt Copy and fools you.. why you have to take the pain of complaining... its HDFC's Duty to find who did this fraud.
HDFC didn't agree to help at first, then I lodged a complain at RBI's Banking Ombudsman against HDFC.
Now HDFC Risk Management had started Investigating, however I don't have faith in them.
is there anyway i can enforce HDFC to take immediate action so i can recover my money at the earliest.
Once again thank you all for going through my case completely.
I highly appreciate your support.
Regards,
Hameed

That is the reason they can show very low Non Performing Assets because they never write off any of the settlements done with the customers. They did the same with me for one year. I took the matter with ombudsman, using all the emails that i had sent for one year, the settlement letter scanned copy and the proof of payment that i had done. Now i have received the zero balance confirmation and write off in cibil.
They try to get you into accepting expired settlement letter after which you have no rights. Make sure you make the payment within the written time frame of the settlement letter at all cost
Stay away from HDFC bank for all reasons.
