now the second year premium need to pay i talk to every department credit card, bank, standard life each have a different story.

HDFC Bank say we are not involve in HDFC Standard LIfe.

HDFC Credit Card Dept say, we are ready to pay but the Standard life not ask for payment or using the wrong information of your credit card for a policy premium.

When i Talk with HDFC Standard Life they reply me no we are using correct information and your all information we get through HDFC Bank so go nereby branch of HDFC Bank and show the letter Transction Failoure Letter

When i went HDFC Bank and they say this is not any problem in our site.

now my question is in all cases who suffer?

ME as a customer i talk each department customer care and pay almost 500/ rupee bill of current month to talk these customer care.

secondly they never response even you log a complain i think in HDFC standard customer care i have 2 or 3 complain regarding my policy but every time the answer is they are investigating.

Even the Agent who come to my office and give me the policy offer also not pickup my phone

Please help!

I am a HDFC customer having salary/ERA account with customer id 9575332. I have done transactions to withdraw money of Rs. 1000 from SBI ATM in Gwalior on 28th June 09 from, but the transaction failed and I didn’t get the money for that transaction.

So I did another transaction on the same day from the same ATM but from different machine after some time and that transaction completed successfully and I got money of Rs. 1000.
After some days when I checked my account statement I found that there are 2 debit transaction done of Rs. 1000 on the 28th June 09 .

I have communicated this issue with the personal banker of HDFC bank and she logged the issue but as par the updates received today from HDFC person ;the amount has been withdrawn from SBI ATM
Two times in same day which is completely wrong because I have withdrawn the money only once as I explained earlier.

Also it has been found from the statement that one transaction is done from Gwalior and other is done from Bhopal on the same day of Rs. 1000 which is again incorrect because I done both the transactions in Gwalior at same SBI ATM but from different machine.

Requesting you to investigate this issue as soon as possible and reverse the transaction of Rs. 1000.

Herewith I have enclosed the snap of the account statement for reference.

Dear Consumer Team,
My name is Tauqir Khan and i live in faridabad iam working in Inter global(Air India)

I want to Inform u that, this is regarding the fraud of my credit card no [protected] On 13Feb, 09. some of HDFC Bank Executive named Rajiv([protected]) called me up and offered for converting the Gold Credit Card to Platinum Card and he advised me to give the gold card back to Bank and hand it over to BANK EXECUTIVE after breaking into 4 pieces and also after rubbing the CVV number. So I broke the Card in 4 pieces and rubbed the CVV number as per Bank Executive.on (15th feb, 09)when bank executive came with my house that time i was not at home i had gone a movie in faridabad pvr cinema sector 15.then bank executive give me a call and told me that we are at your home after discussing with bank executive. i called my mother and said to my mother give my broke card to bank executive. after collect my card bank executive told me that with in a month you will recieve a new platinum card.And after 2 or 3 hrs around(1600hrs). someone called me up from HDFC and informed me that you have made a transaction of Rs/- 85000 (jafrabad newdelhi indira medical store) which made through my Gold Credit Card which I gave to HDFC Bank Executive. timing of the transction is 03.40 and at that time iam in faridabad and iam watching a movie with my brother and sister i have also a ticket of that day movie for the proof.I was not aware about that transaction and it was very shocking for me as I was not even involved in this case and I didn’t even have the Credit Card with me. How is it possible that Bank Executives are making fun of the Bank and doing fraud with the customers/clients? I think we should not trust any of the bank executives.


At the same moment i called a customer care and I told that executive to block the card and also request her to kindly investigate regarding the transaction of Rs.85000/-. While investing the case Bank told me to make the payment for Rs.3750/- (executive name is shikha ([protected])from collection dept rajouri garden delhi)and gave assurance that the interest would not apply and ur matter will solve as soon as possible. if you will make the payment of Rs.3750/- so as per Bank I made such payment. And after few days bank told me to make the payment for Rs.85000/- which made through my Gold Credit Card. And for this transaction I was even not aware and I didn’t even have the credit so why should I pay the amount.and one day i recieved a call with the name of Ankur bhardwaj([protected]) he told me that he is manager of hdfc bank and he will look in this matter and he told me that my case is solve and i dont have to pay any thing only i have to pay the 5 or 6 thousand then bank will give me the clearance letter. but i dont agree bcoz its not my fault and after that he dont call me or i dont know where he is.



Therefore I would request you to kindly follow up with the merchant (Medical Shop- Jafrabad) where the transaction has been made (as per the bank). and also take a action against hdfc bank And request you to kindly give an eye to this case and also Request you to kindly cooperate and give me your positive feedback.
I also forward this case to my lawyer with the name of Mr.Sagar Bhatia contact no [protected] i[censored] want any help discuss with Mr.sagar bhatia


I’ll be looking forward for your quick and positive response.

Dear Sir,
This was to bring to your kind notice that I owned an HDFC Credit Card for nearly 2 Years now which has been Cancelled by the Bank Authorities without any Prior Intimation and above this they also preclosed a loan amount and levied the closure charges on it and are asking me to make the payment so as to avoid any further additional charges.
I own this card since almost the past 2 years and have never been a defaulter in paying any of the installments or dues what so ever occurred by the purchase made with its use. The problem started when I requested them for a change of address as I was shifting from the city of Baroda to my home town of Chhotaudepur. They asked me to give them a written request for the change of address duly signed by me. I obliged and did what exactly they asked me to do. After a few days I received a letter from them and also a call from their Customer Center Executive saying that the address provided by me was of a Non Serviceable area and I need to provide them with a alternate address which is of a serviceable area. I inquired with them about what are the serviceable areas so that I can provide them with appropriate address but they denied to let me know about it and said that you just send in a request and we will let you know if that address is serviceable or not. On their instructions I then provided them with a second address of the city of Baroda which is definitely a serviceable area as one of my friends gets all communication in the very adjacent house. After doing this I again received a letter from them on the 28th of July which through the post duly stamped stating that as this is a Care Of address it will not be considered and I will have to provide them with a address that can reach the Primary Card Holder without any C/O or Care Off name. But before I could do anything regarding this very letter received on the 28th July 2009 my card was already blocked and a Insurance loan was preclosed asking me to make the payments immediately which was nothing less than a shock to me. I Called the Customer Care Executive at[protected] to inquire about it and the lady replied me that she can’t help me in anyways and what I will have to do is again write a letter requesting to Re-activate my card and provide with an alternate address. I did send 3 different letters at the HDFC Bank Card Division, Chennai Office requesting a change in address which was not at Care Off address this time, the second letter inquired about the reason of preclosure of the loan and asking to credit it again and third was to Re-activate my care and change of Phone number. But I haven’t received anything or heard anything from them.
On the contrary I received a letter on the 5th Aug 2009 which was dated 27th July 2009 duly stamped from the post which said that my Card has been cancelled and I need to destroy it and make my payments immediately which is not at all acceptable.
Just to sum it up I received a letter on 28th July and replied on 29th with all that was requested but before all this can be done i.e. on 27th July they had already dispatched the letter cancelling the card.
Sir, I Simply demand justice and please advice the further. I have to suffer a lot because of this unexpected thing and behavior of the HDFC Bank Card Authorities which always informed me after things were decided and done against me and my HDFC Bank Gold Card. I was not able to make my Ticked bookings and also was not allowed to do my shopping because of this for which I had travelled to the city of Baroda. It was nothing less then embarrassing and humiliating.
I have all documents to prove myself correct in any court of Law.
Expecting a favorable response
Yours Truly

Dear sir,

This is regarding my Credit Card #XXXX XXXX XXXX 1250

I was holding the Gold Credit Card. One of the executives called me and asked to upgrade the same to Platinum. Gold Card was having the cash back offer of 5% cash back on rail/air travel tickets when Rs.30K or above is spent in that particular month. So, I asked this question particularly to the executive who called me. She said, this cash back is available in Platinum card too. In addition to this, you will be having the some additional offers. So, I upgraded the same and spent Rs.37, 379.75/- in the month of Feb'09 including the flight transactions. So, I am supposed to get Rs.343.85/-.

They haven't credited the cashback amount. When am asking to track the person who called me and explained the features of the Platinum Card, they are not revealing the name. The caller misled me and these people are cheating customers by giving the erroneous information. Had I been used some other bank credit card for 37, 379.75/-, I would have got lucrative offers and the cash backs.

Requesting you to kindly look into this matter and help me to get my cash back. They are keeping on accumulating the finance and other taxes every month and its now close to Rs.1500/-.

Am pasting the response from the Customer Service Officer.

Thanking You,
Ravi Parthasarathi

Dear Mr. Parthasarathi,

This is with reference to your e-mail regarding your HDFC Bank's credit card account.

On receipt of your e-mail, we made a detailed review and found that our executives have contacted you and explained regarding the features of Platinum card. We would like to reconfirm that the cash back facility is not available on Platinum card account.

Further, we observe from our records and confirm that the transaction mentioned in your earlier e-mail have been incurred using your Platinum plus card bearing number XXXX XXXX XXXX 1250. Hence the aforesaid transaction is not eligible for cash back offer.

We also understand that you have certain reservations regarding the finance charges billed to your card account. We take this opportunity to clarify that finance charges @ 3.15% per month accrue to your card account in case we are in receipt of partial payment or non receipt of any payment towards the outstanding dues on the card account.

Finance charges are charged on the following:
On the total amount from the statement date till the part payment date.
On the outstanding balance till the next statement date.
On fresh purchases done thereafter, till the next billing cycle.

For instance, the total outstanding as per your February'09 statement was Rs. 37, 379.75 and we were in receipt of part payment of Rs. 37, 035.90. In view of the same, finance charge of Rs. 1, 055.01 has been levied in your March'09 statement.

Subsequently, we were in receipt of part payments towards the outstanding dues on your card account due to which further charges have been levied to your card account and we regret our inability to reverse the same. The charges are due and payable on your card account.

Incase you seek further assistance or clarification please feel free to contact our Customer Service Executives at any of our 24 hour Call Center telephone numbers mentioned in the below URL.

I was sold 3 HDFC Standard Life SAPs by Mr Vishal Chopra, Branch Head of HDFC Bank (Estwhile CBOP) sector-19, Noida and the relationship manager Ms Anubhuti kumar of the same bank in the name of investment. Since I have been banking with this branch for over 15 years, I did not think anything was amiss until the bank was taken over completely by HDFC. I was then informed of this misselling by the new relationship manager. I am now nearly 59 years old and reaching retirement. I cannot afford to pay premiums of Rs 2.5 Lakhs annualy for the next 10 years.I have complained several times to HDFC Bank and HDFC Standard Life about the misselling by these two individuals. I have only been given complaint numbers but no reply has been received. I was assured by HDFC standard Life officers that my complaint has been forwarded to grieviance cell on 14 July 2009 with complaint No.[protected] with an assurance that they will revert back to me. My several E-Mails have gone unanswered

For the mentioned loan account number, pls. find the complaints as mentioned below:

1. Besides of cancelled cheque given EMI was deducted from some one another account for the month of July & mails was posted to me confirming that have collected July 2009 Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) and it has been updated in their record.
2. Besides of regular follow up's and calls, bank has confirmed that the same cannot be reversed and then they rectified the account number for furthr EMI's.(Mail recd from bank on 16 July 2009)
3. On 24 July 2009, bank has issued the letter in my name stating that EMI is bounced and have to pay 7085 instead of 6635...had a talk with customer care officers and reply was not in liasion with the standards
4. Collection agencies are calling again & again and using abusive language with family & myself.
5. No satisfactory response from Mr. Manish & Mr. Wipin from retail collection team of Bank.

Hi,
I am Sameer Kumar kurrey.I had a salary account with HDFC bank. They have hold my salary of December month saying that employer has requested to hold this even after that was credited in my account. It is showing in my account but it is not available for withdrawal. It has been 7 months and there is no action initiated by neither bank nor my employer. Bank is also giving interest in this amount. I am very much troubled. kindly suggest what action should I take for this. This is totally unethical, how bank can hold the money that is already credited in my account without giving any notice. There has been no satisfactory response from my employer and bank when I tried to contact them many times. Now I work with different employer.
