HDFC Bank Complaints & Reviews

I opened a NRE account in HDFC bank in Aug 2005. In Jan 2006, i requested them to provide me internet banking pin, again i requested for the same in July 2007, this was in person at the bank. Till jan 2008 nothing was received, then i asked them to change my postal address, they did not do so. Now I have been requesting them to close my account as i am totally disgusted, they are not doing so. 20 days ago my aged father went there with my application form they said I must send them INR 900 as a penalty for low balance and then they will do, on 30 Nov i sent them OMR 10 ( that day's value was INR 128 x 1 OMR), today they tell my father that they received only 450 INR and I must send in more money only then they will close. they are also saying the penalty keeps increasing on a daily basis. Can some one save me from these scoundrals My account No[protected], branch HDFC Bank Sector 18, Noida. Name Manoj Sharma am based in Muscat

Ref: Loan A/c No:[protected]Personnel Loan)

Please be informed that above loan was applied by me for 36 months but it was wrongly disbursed for 17 months which creates me some problem and as a result i stopped to provide funds But several discussion were gone & no one take iniciative to rescheduled it in 36 months. At last Mr. Vikramjit who was manager at Rajouri Garden (Delhi) request me to start the payment and he will get it rescheduled. But result was Nill. Two days back I got a call from Customer Care. Miss Avantika (Manager, Rajouri Garden). She realised this mistake and promise to reschedule this loan with balance amount of Rs. 14, 787 only by adding 3 new installments. Now you are requested to adjust this Amount with 3 new instalments and reschdule the loan 17 to 20 instalments.
I was shocked and surprised that you have put my name in sebel (Defaulter List) Although I am regular by paying my Loan. You can also check my payment schedule or performence in my Loan A/c No. 10052584 which is going to clear this month. There is no missing or break in Re payment of Loan.Kindly clear my name from your Defaulter List also Immidiately and inform me.

HERASSMENT AND THREATENING BY HDFC BANK

Dear Sir,

I purchased a Spark car on 30/4/2008 and a loan of Rs. 150000=00 was taken from HDFC Bank with repayment for a period of 3 years with 36 EMIs amounting each of Rs. 4850=00 P.M. The HDFC Bank Auto Loan Account No. is 13150124.

2. An advance EMI was taken on loan sanction day (for May 2008) and balance repayment was to start from 09/06/2008. I authorized the HDFC bank for payment of EMIs through ECS facility from my ING Vysya Bank saving account and necessary forms were filled.

3. In 1st week of June2008, I received a call from HDFC bank asking me to give a cheque of Rs. 4850=00. I explained him that ECS facility has already been given to bank. After two days i.e. on 7/6/2008 another person again called at my mobile phone very rudely and threatened me to give cheque otherwise to bear consequences. This regular threatening continued till 15/6/2008. Ultimately I went to HDFC bank office at Safdarjung Enclave on 16/6/2008 to inquire the details. The bank executive told me that due to problem at our Head office at Mumbai, your ECS form was not processed, so you deposit a cheque this month only. Therefore I deposited the cheque on 16/6/2008 vide receipt No.10481045. More over as precautionary measure, a fresh ECS mandate form duly verified by my ING Vysya Bank was again submitted to HDFC bank on 18/6/2008 for balance EMIs.

4. Again on 2/7/2008, I received a call from HDFC bank asking me very rudely to give a cheque of Rs. 4850=00. I explained him that an ECS mandate form was again submitted to HDFC bank for balance EMIs duly verified by my ING Vysya Bank. Then I enquired from HDFC bank office telephonically and bank executive told me that due to problem at our Head office at Mumbai, your ECS would be active from August-2008 and this month you have to give the cheque. So I gave a cheque to recovery agent on 5/7/2008 vide receipt No. 10770959.

5. I was astonished to see my ING Vysya Bank records on 10/7/2008 that a sum of Rs. 4850 as EMI has also been taken on 9/7/2008. I asked HDFC bank to refund the amount of Rs. 4850. But Executive told me that this double amount has been adjusted as interest. But the executive was unable to explain the reason & type of interest. Then I met and threatened the Manger to lodge FIR to police for cheating, and then they agreed to refund the amount. And amount of Rs. 4814=00 only (i.e. by deducting of Rs. 36=00 with out stating any reason) was refunded through cheque on 8/8/2008 i.e. after one month. The HDFC bank should pay me interest for holding my money for one month.

6. From July onwards there is regular payment of EMIs through ECS to HDFC bank

7. On 17/11/2008, I again received a call (No.[protected] from HDFC bank agent asking me very rudely to pay Rs 1250=00 as interest. I asked him to explain the reason for interest but person was so rude that he did not wanted to hear me and I disconnected the phone. Now I am repeatedly receiving threatening calls for payment. More over I have been paying my EMIs regularly through ECS. Then what is the meaning of interest? Moreover HDFC bank should pay me the interest for holding my money for one month by cheating me.

8. On 12/12/2008, I again received a call from HDFC bank agent asking me very rudely and threatened me to see consequences physically.

9. Sir I request the concerned authorities and RBI to take action against such a most worse bank for threatening, unnecessary harassing, extracting money by threatening and cheating and also direct the bank to pay me the interest for holding my money of Rs. 4850=00 for one month by cheating me.

Dear Sir

I have never seen such a lazy/sluggish and non-sincere courier company in my life. All my couriers sent thru the EXPRESSIT not at all delivered to me from last three months.
They deliver tappals according to their convenience. They are not at all sincere. Mnay document could not be delivered to and so asked me to contact in 2 number[protected] & [protected]). When I tried to contact those numbers more than 100 times, THEY NEVER LIFTED THE PHONE. Instead after the call was over becos of no answer, THEY PUT DOWN THE RECEIVER AS IS THEY WERE ATTENDING ANOTHER CALL.
Not even a single time they lifted the phone. Even anybody can check those numbers. Becos of these bad/worst behaviour of this, Many of my couriers have not been received back me. Lot of inconvenience becos of them.

I request you to do something to these non-sincere/Lazy persons otherwise lot of persons would be affected.

Yours faithfully,

PAWAN

Hi Sir/Ma'am,

This is in reference to my Credit Card settlement.This card is been lost long time back & Iam trying to settle in one shot payment since 5months now.I have been very frustrated & tortured by your reputed HDFC bank.Every collections branch wherever my Acct has been transferred I have tried calling & ask them to seetle this out.They just use to say that make this much payment & then we would provide you the Final letter next month.
Like this, months has just passed .And now HDFC bank has taken my last nerve, when this mont on 3-Dec after making the payment of Rs.4800 as told by NIHARIKA CHOUDHARY(Rajouri Garden Branch.N.Delhi.She assured that after making the payment they would provide the Full & final letter of remainig Rs.22, 000 on Saturday(05-Dec).As I had already paid more then Rs.22, 000.However, on the contrary Rs.47, 4000 from my savings account was placed on hold by this credit card dept.I have spoken to each & every Manager of that collections branch i.e.Hardeep Singh, Anuj Choudhary, Puneet Oberoi.Nobody has helped me at all.They just always hung up on me or they just say that they will release it tomorrow.Now, today is 11th of Dec & if this matter is not settled till 18th-Dec then who will repay the money.That is my har earned money.Not to mention the Card was used by an METLIFE Agent witjout my consent.As he just enquire about the policy & took my card #.Metlife has given me the check of Rs.50, 000 but it took months to clear. I have a letter from METLIFE INSURANCE to proof it.I have recorded calls from HDFC Collections dept & customer care reps also along with the interaction with Hardeep Singh, Anuj Choudhary, Puneet Oberoi.
Iam so disheartened by the pathetic customer service, HDFC doesn't have humanity at all.
I request you to please try & understand my situation & look in to the matter ASAP as I dont have time also.If my Amonut of Rs.47, 400 is used by HDFC then I would be bound to report it not only to the consumer court but also to the National News channels with all the Interactions which is not at all good very obvious for HDFC's side.
This is my last hope I kindly request you to please help & release the block & hold from my savings account.
Thanking you,
Your's Sincearly,
Ritu Pangti

Sir,
My name is K.Krishna Kumar and I have my salary account with HDFC bank.Ref CUS ID :20867320.

On saturday (5.12.08)there was a debit entry of Rs.5000/-. On calling the customer care, they informed me that the fund has got transferred to my FD account, whereas I had not given any request in this regard.As a mater of fact I was not in station on the specified date(5.12.08).I was at Madurai.(I was traveling from 7th to til date and was forced to run around for money for no mistake of Mine.)They had informed me that the transaction has happened from HDFC Banerjee Road branch at Kochi.

I had called customer care today morning and spoke to Mr.Sujith.He also gave me the names of Mr.Sreejith and Ms.Suguna Shenoy(officers at Banerjee road branch), with an assurance that one of the officers will call me within half an hour after reverting the entry.The assurance was around 11.00 AM.

Then I had called customer care again in the evening by 4.00 PM, and spoke to Ms.Shaniba who gave me the name of Mr.Prakash Parameshwaran, .stating that they have forwarded the complaint, who will rvert within one hour.But to my disappointment, no response from the till now.

Again I'm starting my travel from t'mmow morning.I'm forced to beg and borrow money and face needless mental torture due to this matter.

I request you to help me with your valuable suggestions to apply for a claim case against the bank.

Regards

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is regarding my pending relieving with HDFC Bank ( erstwhile Centurion Bank of Punjab Ltd.) I had resigned from Bank’s services on 16.02.2008 and submitted my relieving kit, duly signed by Branch Head and Cluster Head, to Ludhiana regional Office, and as per my last communication with Ludhiana regional Office – HR Dept, the same was forwarded to Bangalore Office of the Bank. But when I contacted the HR Dept at Bangalore, I was informed that the same kit had been lost in transit.

I was then asked to fill in the format for calculation of the dues, which was forwarded by Bangalore Office. I had forwarded the same, duly filled in, back to Bangalore Office but till date, I have not received either my relieving or my Provident Fund amount.

As I have migrated to Canada you are requested to courier PF amount to my residential address along with my relieving letter at the earliest as the same is required by me for further submission in Embassy. My visa will be extended only on the basis of letter and the last date for submission is 20th December 2008

You are requested to please expedite the matter.

I have taken floating rate home loan from HDFC on 2004 and rate of interest was 8% that time. At the same time SBI was too giving loan in 8%. When RBI hike reserve repo, this bank is the first bank to increate interest rate for existing customer but never reduce interest rate when RBI do so. This is very unfair and black mailing to existing customer. SBI Home loan interest rate is now 9.5% where as HDFC is charging 12.75% to me. I will suggest everybody to never go for this private bank and although processing will be a little bit slow in public sector bank like SBI or Indian Bank, but you will not regret like me in future.

HDFC Bank is a hell for employees. Particulaly in the Direct Sales Depatment the Situation is even worst. I am workin in the direct sales depatment in the north 2 reigon of HDFC bank and since i have joined this bank the life has become hell. We are not given any holiday or leave. We are forced to work on sundays and even on national holidays, in addition to this we are not even allowed to take leave and even if the person is ill he is harassed on phone.

Everyday we are forced to work at the bank till 10 pm due to whcih we cant enjoy our social and personel life. so u are requested to take necessary action at the earilest

I am an executive working with MNC. I had taken a home loan from HDFC in November 2005. The rate of interest applicable then was 7.5 %. I was told that this interest rate is special for my company and less than what other customers and banks were charging. Later on HDFC kept on revising based on RBI rate which is acceptable. But, the revision has now lead to a situation where the ineterst rate, which is 11.75%, from HDFC is 2 - 2.25 % above other banks public sector banks. When I checked with bank they told, they are not directly coming under RBI. Then why they responded to previous hikes from RBI?? Only they do not know, how to reduce. Very bad!!! So guys when ever you take any loans, take from good public sector banks.

I now feel trapped with HDFC as they are charging very high rate as compared to market. There should be some action against them from RBI.
