Hi,
My dear friend, pvt. banks are doing very bad things now a days, ICICI bank is the live example, they people make their customer harreshed and fool as much as they can.I was having a insurance with ICICI but its being more then 3 months still not received any police from them. And if I called on the customer care the same reply, then I submitted my complaint to http://www.consumercourt.in they gave me some suggestion, I followed them now the ICICI people are saying me that we are sorry for inconvinounse. Realy they people only wants cases against them.

s is reference to my credit card statement, here by I bring to your notice that you have charged ' currency conversion charges ' of 3.5%, which is very high and also not charging by other banks, for example I used my ICICI bank credit card in the same country and during the same time for the same kind of expenditures, But they did not added this kind of charges. This is not the first time, I used my ICICI card in Overseas during my last many visits, I never paid this kind o[censored]n-reasonable charges. So, I feel may be HDFC bank credit cards division looting the customers money this way. Offcoarse I am paying total amount as per the statement, but I expect you return that 'Currency conversion charges @ 3.5% ' in the next statement if possible. If not, I may request you to cancel my card, Because I can not hold this kind of looting credit card. I hope positive reply.
With regards,

I also have the HDFC credit card and people on this platform might get astonished that I made the late payment of 900 rupees bill by 4 day but as penalty, HDFC bank has charged around 1500 rupees excluding this 900.I have talked to the customer care and I feel that they are the rudest customer service executives and hence I have planned to surrender the card in next month when I clear the dues.
I feel the HDFC regalia card is worst among the credit cards.

Hi Roopali,

I am in need of help.

I am currently using my HDFC Easyshop Internationa Debit Card here in the US.

I have been swiping it for grocery shopping & luncheons until recently when my friend told me to check the conversion fees & other related it attracts for every transaction.

I am unable to login into my NetBanking bcos of an expired pass. I am curious to know if you have any idea on the surcharge structure for this.

Also, I might withdraw $500 from one of the ATM's here in US. How much would i be charged?

thanks in advance.

Regards,
Leone

I agrre with Roopali. I am having the same problem with HDFC Debit cards...they are not working when used on ATMs in US. I have been following up with HDFC Bank for about an year without any results. Please send your complaint to HDFC and maybe they will act if they realize that problem is widerspread across many NRI customers.
Thanks,

Susheel

credit card HDFC — over charging

Dear Mr Customer Care,

I am operating a HDFC credit card no [protected] for the last few years . I had also taken a personal loan some time back .On 06 Aug 08, I had deposited a lump sum amount to close my account with specail instructions after contacting your custoemr care executive . i am aghast to see that my credit card still reflects montly COC on PRIN NB and COC INT NB of 1867 .85 and 95 .12 respectively which is not understood.My acccount sheet In Sep 08 was showing minus - 1369 .29 in the total amount due coln which clearly indicates that there was excess deposits . Please see to this lapse at your end and ratify .
I have been your esteemed client for long and wd like to continue but for this gaffe .

Dear Sir,

In reference to Card No. [protected] in the name of Vikas Bhatnagar, I would like to state that I got a statement in March or April '09 mentioning some outstanding due to some Bajaj allianz policy which HDFC Bank has levied the premium to me, which I have never signed or asked niether they have taken any permission from me to make this policy for me. So after examining that statement I contacted at HDFC Credit Card division, Chandigarh & explained them that I have not undergone any policy, so after a lot efforts within a week's time I finally managed to get it close that poilcy & the dues arised due to that policy was also been cleared by them & outstanding was made to nil & they confirm me also & after that I have asked to close the card as I have never used the card & dont want use also, after 2-3 days I confirm about me closure of card also which they confirmed.

Now I have been transfered from Chandigarh to Bareilly (U.P.) in MY'09 now I came to know that HDFC has sent some Hon' Lok adalat notice in which they are mentioning some accounting differences at my original address of Chandigarh. Now my complaint is that when all these were settled & card was closed why they have me summon of Honble Lok Adalat, Chandigarh. After that I have talked at Chandigarh office & they have assured me about the call from their office within 2 days on 9 Sep'09 & the reference No. of that conversation of 9 Sep'09 is [protected] but till date I have not recived any call from HDFC Bank. I have updated my phone No. with them.

You are requested to look into the matter & settle it as early as possible.

Thanks

Same is the case here. I have a housing loan from HDFC with current ROI 11 % ...& will have to shell around 3.25 % of outstanding as loan closing /prepayment charges + service etc... .. and after inquiry was told that charges have been increased from Feb 2009... Prior it was 2 %...

If HDFC wants to be the game .. they should drop interest rates . This penalty increase gimmick is only going worsen there reputation...

Hi,

I too feel the same heat as you all people are feeling .
Today when i contacted the HDFC customer care for pre-clousre charges they told me that it has been increased to 3% from 2% since 16th Feb, 2009 .
How banks can do such a unethical things with their customers .
Either they should come into the competetion with all the bansk so that the customers should not think to migrate their loan or their must no be any charge for migration of loan to any other bank.

3% is charged me too by HDFC bank.
I don't know whether some action will take, but for my satisfaction I lodged a complaint at RBI website
https://secweb.rbi.org.in/BO/compltindex.htm

This is Blackmail by HDFC, they are holding their customers to ransom. They are not rationalising thier interest rates with the market and to add insult to injury they now have increased the prepayment charges to 3 % from 2 %.

I wish the RBI or Govt. steps in on behalf of customers and does something to protect thier interests.

Any new customers please shy away from HDFC. I have been a HDFC customer for nearly 10 years but all along I have been paying high interest. They upped thier interest rates so quickly when rates went up but they have delayed the reduction and that too only moderate cuts. I agree that the initial paper work is easier than PSUs / competiion but this convenience it is definitely not worth the price you oay later. Pls shy away from HDFC.

This is really frustuating...same thing has happened with me even...I was shocked when got to know that prepayment charges are increased to 3%..This is again CUSTOMER DISSATISFACTION...HDFC should reduce the interest rates for existing customers also as existing customers are the current profit makers for them.

How can HDFC bank can change to 3% for existing customers? When we sign agreement, it was 2% and HDFC should not increase for Existing customer.

Anyone please suggest if we can take legal action against HDFC. HDFC has increased the Loan closure amount from 2% to 3% without intimating the customers in advance.
Although it is their policy, they must intimate the customers in advance (at least 3 months) through letters before increasing any charges. There are many customer who are getting humiliated and harassed by HDFC unethical treatment to existing customers

Can we file an RTI against HDFC in such a case..

I suggest all the borrowers not to go to HDFC and save you money. This is a cheat bank.

Join "SAY NO TO HDFC HOME LOAN" orkut community.

I suggest to all borrowers please stop the payment towards EMI to HDFC on account o[censored]nethical practices ( like prepayment charges 3 % in case of loan transfer, not following the definition of Floating rate as explained during loan application submission how the floating rate can be differ for banks huge difference 8% - 13 % etc..).
Please submit the notification mentioning all unethical practices of non-payment to HDFC from your side prior to stop the payment towards EMI. You may take the receipt from HDFC on this notification.
Let HDFC file the legal suit against the borrowers.

The concept of floating rate is not monitored by RBI.

They offer 9.5 % for new customer and then increase it to 11 or 12 % beware of these people they are looting poor customer openly

I have also faced the same problem. They have increased the pre closure charge 2% to 3%. I have a long fight in this issue with HDFC. I have shown the application form to them where it is clearly mentioned 2% pre payment charge. But they are denying that. They are saying in agreement it is mentioned that the rate will be decided at the time of execution.

I am thinking to lodge a complain in Consumer Forum. Is it the right place for taking legal action against HDFC?

I am also in the same boat. I have take a huge loan from HDFC and now when I want to exit because of their high interest rates, they have increased the pre-payment penalty.
Why can't RBI rein in these type of scoundrels? What should we do against it?

Guys

I also faced the same problem, i have the loan from hdfc bank from last year and it is know to everybody even my self that preclousure charges are 2% of outstanding loan amout and keeping this point in my mind i have planned to shift the loan from hdfc to sbi on 10th feb, i took the forclosure statment and they have mentioned 2% and I went to hdfc again on 27march and they mentioned me that forclosure fees is changed to 3%, i shocked hearing that. I don't understand how these banks are cheating to peoples why goverment is not putting them some control. why rbi is not asking to keep same rate across all the banks whether it's private or govt. and the new interest rate should be applicalbe to new as well existing to keep the transparency for all.

I am really very upset of paying money unnecessorily to hdfb since i can get the lower rate from other bank but since they have increased the forclosure charges i am in confusion what to do. Guys we all shoud go to rbi to make complaint against this bank.. it's a cheater

I am also a victim to this. Lets group and do a Dharna in front of HDFC bank. We should have banner against HDFC and also against Congress party who heads center. They have the power to control such a thing(via RBI actions/measures), but they are not doing so, since they are eating money from private banks. Let regroup and put up a big rally. I have created a group here, please enroll. The name is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/against-HDFC-injustice/
My name is Anil and I live in Bangalore. Let plan to group up and have a rally to protest. Please read the message on the above group and provide your ideas aswell. Again you can reach me at: Reach me at [protected]@gmail.com.

Same here i took loan from HDFC in 2002 in Floating Rate scheme and now they are charging me with 15% PA ROI. suprisingly they have never send me any letter informing me the change of interest rate.
I am of the opinion that we should form a group suing HDFC altogether
I can be reached on [protected]

Some days back, I received the foreclousre letter from HDFC with 2% prepayment charges, I have given the reference for the same and aks the HDFC if they will charge the 3 % I will stop all payment.
When I have asked HDFC loan personnel regarding the stop payment towards my home loan on account of 3% prepayment charges. This should be applicable to new borrower as they give the all benefit to new borrower in order to trap them.
They said, we will consider the case. I hope so they will do.

Without Sanction of Loan they have deposited my Cheque as processing charges.

As informed earlier without santion of the Loan the Cheque will not be deposited in the bank.

And secondly customer care doesnt take the responsiblity as they say that the File is not be generated so they cant do anything when i checked with the represantative they told me that they will refund me within a week but 10days past and they have give me the amount and no nobody is attaining my call also..so where should i contact and to whom is these and bank..HDFC...surpirses and I want my interest also for 1Month 15Days.

Piyush

higher Interest rate being charged
I was thinking of balance transfer to SBI. Now HDFC has increased BT fess from 2% to 3%. All the customers at HDFC are unable to transfer thier loans now. We are paying 3 to 6 % higher rate of interest to HDFC than any other bank.

Government should do something in this direction. The Bank must be penalised for this.

Please join the following group:

Charging pre-payment penalty (a form of fore closure) is against the principles of natural justice.
______________________________________________________________________________

HERE"S THE LOGIC: The main concern for whoever that takes a loan is to repay it at the earliest. In fact pr-paying a loan is a positive thing. And therefore going by the principles of natural justice there is no case for PENALIZING a loan customer for getting rif of her/his debt earlier. And therefore (regardless of what forms /clauses they have got you to sign during the loan approval/granting process, a pre-payment penalty is NOT enforceable.

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS: Lay consumers, like all o[censored]s here- take the word of an institution for granted. We fall for things like,
'this is the policy'
'this is made clear in the loan ducument that you signed'
'we charge this pre-payment penalty to everyone'
etc
and therefore, we hurt, crib and yet pay up- because we believe there is no option.

HERE"S WHAT YOU CAN DO:Even when you are in the process of applying for a loan, and when usually we check with more than one bank/financial institution- state very clearly that you are not going to pay any pre-payment penalty or fore closure charges (quote the Principle of Natural Justice that i just shared )- you will be surprised that the bank will not just agree, but even give you a committment to this effect in writing

I have done just that and I have a written committment from HDFC Limited that no prepayment/fore closure are applicable to me.

Since it is essentially not enforceable, even if you havent done this while taking the loan, please do not pay when you want to foreclose and refinance. I have done this for an earlier home loan (fore closure from GRUH Finance and refinance from SBI) and it has worked.

Essentially they are taking advantage of the fact that consumers are not aware that this clause goes against natural justice and is therefore not enforceable.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS WORD TO AS MANY FRIENDS/ FAMILY/ COLLEAGUES THAT YOU KNOW ARE CURRENT HOME LOAN CUSTOMERS OR ARE IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING A LOAN

Guys

pls tel me have u gone to consumer court ever for this problems?

I completely agree with the grouse raised. To add to it, i was surprised to see the attitude of the HDFC query resolution managers. HDFC is not sending any written communication to thier home loan customers on the change of rates and the impact it will have on thier exiisting relationship.

I was surprised to see thier reactions when demanded one from them. They said that the newspaper article pubished should suffice my anxiety. None of the market driven benefits have transferred to us. I would want all the customers of HDFC home loan to come together and demand an explaination from them on playing with our hard earned money.

Its a sheer exploitation on thier part on to thier loyal customers. In this dynamic market scenario where in each industry is keeping customer's interest in mind, an attitude like this will for sure make HDFC loose out its market share and also goodwill.

I for sure never let any known person of mine to go for HDFC relations.

The Reserve bank of India is supposed to direct all the banks including icici and hdfc and other banks not to charge prepayment charges on home loans and the National consumer Disputes Redressal commission's order in State Bank of india Vs.Usha vaid and another which was upheld by the apex court i.e, Supreme court of India. The RBI non complaince of this supreme court directive is depriving the consumers their right to chose a better product and the banks like icici are looting the consumers and they are tieing the rate of interest with individual banks plr rate which only goes to the interest of the bank and this is nothing but looting the middle class especially and the icici is collecting the blank documents and looting the consumers in lakhs and the RBI should direct the banks to be transparent in their rates of interest and should not collect foreclosure charges which are not rationale.

All HDFC home loan customer. Please join following group for all our common cause. We are already 600 people in this group.

HDFC - DONT GO FOR IT -

I had my worst decision going HDFC home loan as per my home builder's recommendation, because he said it was fast and easy.

1) HDFC takes at least 3 months to decrease the current RoI and that too with margin of .25% (point two five percent ) as per RBI's mandate, while other psu /private banks do it in short duration and in similar figure as indicated by RBI, and when rate goes up HDFC increases that instantly

2) They will never let you escape, by putting heavy loan transfer charges to other banks, now 3 % + service Tax + STT

3) If you delay in paying the EMI, they will charge heavy penalties 18%, 4% of emi amount depending on the payment method

4) They tie up with builders only to lure you on commission basis and would hardly come to you and disclose you all the ever-changing important T & C

sdfsdf — no action since 13-3-2009

As per your instructions, I had submitted loan application form alongwith all necessary documents on[protected] in your VIRAR branch office to Shri. Nimkar. I want to transfer my loan from ICICI bank to you. Loan amt. is Rs. 140000.But no action taken by HDFC till date.Please look into the matter and issue necessary instructions to your staff immediately.

Due to allegedly higher cost of funds HDFC Bank has increased my already HIGH rate of 12.50% on floating home loan to 13% effeective DECEMBER 2009. When I approached them for prepayment they first asked for 4% then reduced to 3% the prepayment charges ALSO ON ALL INSTALLMENTS PAID FROM NOVEMBER 2006 UPTO NOW!!!

Hi Guys

I took loan from HDFC Ltd. (not HDFC Bank) around June 2007 (on floating rate basis) and found in
these 2 years, I am paying always the higher interest amount/rate to HDFC compared to other
market player.

Begining of this year, I tried to transfer the loan to other bank but clever move from HDFC increasing the pre-payment charge (2 to 3 percent on a sudden fine morning) stopped me to transfer loan to other bank.

At the same time, HDFC gave us a good story. They said, presently the gap between HDFC PLR and our existing floating rate is 3% (meaning if the HDFC PLR is 14%, our home loan interest is 11%).
HDFC suggested us that now you can increase and ascertain this gap by 0.75 more by paying 0.5% of outstanding principal and hence we did it. So, currently we find that 14% is HDFC PLR, and our garunted deduction (from current PLR) is 3.75% and hence we are paying 14 - 3.75 = 10.25% interest.
I understand 10.25% might be equal to the interest rate offered by HDFC to their new home loan customer and accordingly they can show RBI the example that to stop the migration/transfer they are converting higher interest rate of the old customer at per to the new rate.

But EVEN THAN, what I can clearly see that ALWAYS HDFC interest rate is on higher side in market compared to other market players and hence what I can say it to AVOID HDFC for all future home loans.

Apart, I support the comments where it says that HDFC agents never disclose the important T&C.
HDFC people will call you in their office and will give a big agreement to sign. Whatever Agent has said earlier to you, may be a half truth where as the agreement has full truth - but unless you take a lawyer with you or you yourself is expert and read all that big agreement, you will never come to know about those finer details. Otherwise, you can demand the agreement copy before signing to read at your convenince and then go for a signing (and not "on the spot" attitude).

I had taken the loan from HDFC, Kasturba Road, Bangalore - the main reason was getting loan is easier in private bank with less paper work, but now I understand, the intial pain to get the loan from a govt or PSU bank will led my life easier and I could save many lakhs extra (what I am paying today to HDFC as high interest without any justification, any protest) and Govt is also silent on this.

I can write many more but I do not see any outcome writing here, so if anybody is going to consumer court or taking any firm action in interest of common people (HDFC Home loan borrowe), than please let me know and I would like to join that move.

Regards/Satya

I am in the same boat and was surprised to learn that there were pre-closure charges (I was led to believe that there wasn't any at the time of loan) and that too as high as 3%. I am switching to SBI as I have to take a larger loan - BTW, the SBI loan process was not as hard as I thought it would be. When HDFC knew that I was going to SBI, they offered to refinance my existing loan as well as give me a new loan for 9.5% (their current rate). They do this for new customers, while I have been paying 11+ percent (and 12+ in between) for almost 3 years! If I was not trying to move, they would have not offered this. I spoke to their branch manager at length and he was trying to convince me that they are forced to do this to keep customers. He said that other banks were stealing their customers! He should know better. I don't think HDFC is really customer focused, they just want to keep getting rich by exploiting their customers.

Thanks,

Dear Guys,

Just to brief you, my home loan file was logged initially from Basheerbagh branch and the sanction letter was issued by the bank to approach Taranaka branch. The legal advisor named Mr. Sainath (one of the legal advisor), who sits centrally at Basheerbagh branch initially scrutinizes all the legal documents and in turn will clear the files for further processing. On initial scrutinisation of the documents, the loan sanction mail was released by the bank which is annexed below for your reference. The details of the bank person who is coordinating with me so far in this processing is also mentioned below for your reference.

The loan was sanctioned by the bank at a value of Rs.1500/- per sq.ft., which was based on the completion of the builders work in the project. On pressurising the builder from my end, the works were subsequently completed by him and asked the bank to do a revaluation. While again considering the request, the bank has asked to relogin the file to complete the scrutinisation and to do the revaluation. On second scrutinisation, the bank has asked the builder to produce some more legal papers and an opinion from a lawyer. The same was also submitted by the builder couple of weeks back in this regard. When I was enquiring the same with the bank coordinator, I came to know that the Audit was going on in the last week and the legal advisor's action was very lethargic, which in turn is due to the consequences between the builder and with him.

I have also paid an initial token advance of Rs.75000/- to the builder and informed that the balance amount will be cleared from my end only on clearance of the legal papers. Builder having faith on me and hope that the loan will clear, the builder has completed most of the works in my booked flat (except the flooring, doors fixing and painting). As per today's latest conversation after our call with the coordinator and the builder, I heard that the legal advisor is taking the subject to the bank's committee tomorrow to clear the same. But, I am totally blurt in the picture and completely depend upon the words of the builder and the bank co-ordinator.

Also, would like to know the basis on which the bank has confirmed and released the initial sanction letter after scrutinising of the documents.

Having putforth all the details, could you please help me out by knowing what is happening at the bank's end and what is their actual issues or concerns in this regard.

Sir,

This is for your infomation please

Go to HDFC and be ready to be robbed and blackmailed.

Dear Friend,

I would like to make you alert on few details regarding HDFC and other limited companies.

HDFC LTD is a limited company and is not a banking institute.
It is a self regulated financial organization and is not at all regulated as a refinancing institute or is not a Banking institute. Sales officers makes people fool by stating HDFC Home loan as part of banking division. Even interest rates charged by HDFC is very high which is increased in subsequent years.

As such rates of interests for home loan are definitely regulated by RBI but limited and private companies do not fall under their per-view. These companies fall under company Act and not under Banking Act.

At time of taking loan these companies promises low rates of interest and then increases rates of interest in subsequent years, which increases your burden of repayment in form of slow poison eating your lots of money.

I will share my personal experience:

I have a very bad experience with HDFC, My loan of 11 lac with tenure was only 20 years and was promised with 3% discounted rates for my loan account as the company with which I was working was a corporate client of HDFC, so my loan started at 7.25% rate of interest and a low EMI of 8595/- Rs only.

In later stages HDFC revised rates of interest stating that my loan is on floating rates, where as no discounted rates are applied to my account. More on no reduction in rates are done at all even when rates of interest of other banks and institutes fall down. Even when they offer low interest rates to new customers – on my inquiry they asked for a proceeding fees of almost 12 thousand rupees to revise the rates of interest.
My EMI is also revised to 10, 526/- Rs and the tenure is now increased. Today even after paying EMI for more then 6 years my tenure of repayment is more then 18 years and EMI is increased from 8695/- Rs per month to 10526/- Rs per month. So I will end up paying money to HDFC for more then 24 years.

So I will end up paying four additional years with new EMI to HDFC which will make me a loss of almost 10-12 lac rupees.

HDFC is offering new customer 8.25 rates of interest where as even when I am a old customer with corporate tie up with the company – I am charged almost 11% rates of interest and I am screwed up by paying more EMI.

I have started legal proceedings against HDFC – and warn you all that dont take loan from HDFC other wise your people will also end up in soup and will have to pay huge for small things.

REQUEST YOU ALL TO TAKE LOANS ONLY FROM BANKING INSTITUTES AND NOT FROM ANY LTD COMPANY--
Ask following questions at time of taking loan.

1.Is the company having word “Bank” in its name.
2.If the company is refinancing company - take in written that – rates of interest in the company will be regulated as per RBI norms.
3.Only those people whose files are not getting approved from banks and documents are not clear enough and are in need of loan should opt for such institutes, but mind it these ltd companies slowly increases rates of interest and eats away your lots of money charging high rates of interest.

PLEASE NOTE – HDFC is a limited company and not a BANK. Only banking institutes or company with word “Bank” in its name are regulated by RBI.
Before signing any document of ltd company please read the terms and conditions completely and take a lawyers advise if needed before going ahead to sign the same.

Please disseminate this information to all your friends and relatives so that they are not cheated by any private company in case of loans / home loans.

On[protected] they are deducted 24000/- from my credit card as a premium of first year. From beginning I was told to Saswati Dasgupta that I want to cancel and stop the policy.
Once (dated.[protected] I asked to Saswati that how to cancel my policy and what formalities are there? She said nothing else only send a cancellation request letter with Xerox copy of policy document by Fax. So, I have sent it as a fax to HDFC Standard Life Kolkata branch (Fax No.[protected] on dated[protected] because I got the policy document on[protected], after received Fax copy no reply has come from their side.
In between all this my free look period was gone Till the time I was convinced that I have been cheated my free look period was gone, this happened because my policy advisor. So I confirmed it to Saswati Dasgupta and asked Fax has received or not? She said they received Fax correctly and again she assured me that it will take 4 to 7 days more to cancel the policy and you do not have to pay Rs.24000/-.
When, I asked (dated[protected] because of more holidays) client service desk of HDFC Standard Life and they told me that they are not received any Fax and Fax are not accepted to cancel any policy and the policy won’t be cancel because free look period was over. This time they also told me that policy advisor peoples are given me wrong information and they suggested me to lodge a complaint against them. At this point of time I was totally confused so I again asked to Saswati what I have to do at the moment. She introduced Mr. Santu Nandi (Mob No. [protected]).

Again Mr. Santu Nandi also said (dated[protected] that I have to send a new policy cancellation letter along with original policy document. So, I have again sent it by courier to HDFC Standard Life Kolkata branch on dated[protected]. But the entire document returns to me on[protected] by another courier. When I asked to Saswati as well as Mr. Santu Nandi they told me that I have no option except to put a complain letter first. So, I have sent this complain on dated[protected]. But on (Dated 16/02/09) again they said they are not received any complain letter but I have the delivery receipt from courier service.

Please help and send written confirmation of the cancellation to the address below as soon as possible.

Sincerely looking for your reply

This O.D cont. for 8 months.after 8 months when i checked my statements the OD which was previously of Rs 190000 approx turned to Rs 220000.On informing Mr.Pradeep, i was told that he will close my OD asRs 2600 interest would be charged even when the amt in the account is there.Being a layman in accounts i followed your executive blindly.Then he told me that he will help me to close the OD for which another 1400 would be charged (no receipt given)and gave all the documents (debit card R.C of my car, cheque books etc...) and then he got me sanctioned a loan for Rs 225000 for a tenure of 3 years monthly instll (8078Rs) through your bank.I asked for my car's R.C .For this purpose he again asked for800 Rs.I had told him that my salary is Rs 15000 .the only earning member of my house .I have two daughters.how can i afford to bear an instll of 8078 Rs .Inspite of this i have paid for 2 yearsand 2 months .but now as i have said due to sudden loss now i cannot afford to pay them .I am really depressed at this as thecar has costed me and my families life .I am unable to make up with my families needs .

Hi All,

I have a credit card of HDFC bank and was paying the money on regular basis. This time I did not pay on time and they called up my mother and gave a threaten to her. She got tensed and called me to explain everything.

I got pissed off with this behavior. When a lady from HDFC called me I told her that I am in office and wont be able to talk to you, she denied and started calling me again and again. I was in the meeting that time and when I switched off my cell she called my mother..

First and Important thing Customer/Collection department are not supposed to call any of the employee during working hours.. I am going to close my card facility.

Hi,

This is Dinesh. I took a credit card of HDFC before 5 years. I had a payment due for 2 months. I received a call in month of october who was using abusive language very badly. His name was Mohammed. He called from the number [protected]. When i called to HDFC they said the collection is a complete different department which they dont keep records. The lady i spoke she took a complaint and gave me a complaint number which was [protected]. But no action was taken.

Today on 19th november i was in office and the person name RAVI called from the same number on my landline at my home and started using abusive language with my parents. The time when i took the card the language which was used by these people was completely different. I am very disatisfied with HDFC and would recommend the people who are reading this, would never go for this bank.

For me HDFC sets standards but lately they have disappointed me. I don't appreciate the collection department calling to and using abusive language
since i am using comapny no. which the person was using earlier

Young Star Plus is Big Fraud ... They say there are 24 free Fund Switches... Please dont believe this, they have charged 4000/- as Mortality charges for first fund Switch.

HDFC home loans : For exisitng customers floating and Fix loan rate is 30% higher than new customers.
and once you become existing customer, your interest rate is increased by 30%.

HDFC have their own policy of charging Admin fees on loan applications even after Govt. has imposed a rule for not to chrge this ...

For all the Blogs which are in favour of HDFC, DONT TRUST THEM, they are logged by HDFC people to misguide innocent people.

Yes, the complaints mentioned above are true. I have been cheated by HDFC SLIC through a represent who was working with Indian Bank. I have taken an endowment policy for 25 years. After constantly making premium payment still they're sending a letter informing that my bonus has been stopped. These fraud staffs are cleared my cheque with some other's account...
