Hi,
This Rakesh chandra. Just to tell, how bad ICICI bank can be.
I had an CENTURION BANK OF PUNJAB (CRDIT CARD). I wanted to settle the card, but on contacting the customer care of CBOP, I came to know that, the bank has been taken over by ICICI bank, then I spoke to one of ICICI BANK official (RAKESH BINJOLA, [protected]), and he assured me of a settlement, but finally Rs. 50000/- was auto debited from my account, and whenever I tried to speak to BINJOLA, he never responded to me or to my emails. This all didn't stop here, After 6 months, they again debited Rs. 20000/- from my account, and this time also, there is no one to listen to me.

After debiting first time, they didn't issue any settlement letter, and went on robbing me.

I would like to tell this bank (ICICI BANK) is a bank of robbers, who, rob onto there customers, and employees like BINJOLA should be sacked immediately.

I am looking forward for a help, and want departments to teach a lesson to this bank, otherwise, it would keep robbing people like this only.

Hdfc Bank has sent me a message on 19/11/08 at 10.00am that they have courieredmy cheque book on18/11/08. They have said that it will reach me within 3 working days. I waited all these days for the courier, but today I hv to go out of station at 12pm and so far I have not received the courier. I will be returning on 1/12/08. Now I would like to know the reason of delay and what will the company do to help me out. I am also sending the same complaint to HDFC bank so please do not return the cheque book saying person not found at home. Please contact me on[protected] and let me know how you will deliver my cheque book.
Thankyou

My password which was sent through Express IT Courier on 23rd of Oct, 2008 has not reached me... and they say they have wrong address on their records...
I wonder how after three long years of sending the communications to the same address... they find that address wrong on their records.

Disgusting...

Even Express IT Courier have a very bad service... I had to call them often to track my consignment

I used HDFC bank debit card for paying my mob. bill of rs.2393 /- on 11th nov at alipore vodafone store, where they swiped card once but still when i checked ATM mini statement it reflected same amt debited twice from mya/c same day surprisingly.
after wrtiting to vodafone they arranged transacction details where swiping card partner citibank confirmed over mail that they received only once the amt.which has been mailed by vodafone to me also stating that the duplicate fund was with HDFC bank only.when i contacted HDFC bank for the same they said the process will take 30days for the money to be credited back to my a/c.this is really funny .

1. why for HDFC bank internal sys. prob i will suffer as consumer?
2.the money is mine and how and why you have blocked it ? under which RBI rule?
3. i gathered all relevant doc from other merchant banking partner i.e. citibank and vodafone clearly stating that the fund is lying at HDFC bank, if so then why the money is not credited back at my a/c till now?

4. its been more than 15 days and today i was told by mr bhandari (HDFC NEW ALIPORE-KOLKATA MANAGER)it will take 30days time to credit tback the money which is ridiculous!


HDFC bank simply remained as onlooker for the entire event and it speaks o[censored]tter negligence.

I as a customer under no circumstances should be harassed like this for your internal problems.and the time enrgy and money involved in the entire case has a value attached which cant be neglected by you but your new alipore bank manager has acted as if its anormal case and it reflected stubborn behaviour while adressing me saying" it will take time you do whatever"..

I WANT HDFC to compensate me for this harassment caused to me wasting my time and also for blocking my money for no reason for so long..

thanks

Hi,

ATTN: HDFC BANK USERS :Your online bank account is at risk. its not secured any more.

I, Parikshit have Savings bank account in HDFC Powai Branch. On 22-sep-08 my account was debited by 996.00 INR and I received SMS on my cell phone the same time I called your customer care and informed that this transaction was not done by me, so kindly do the needful they have disabled my Internet Banking and gave me the case Number #[protected], I called back again on 23rd and spoke with Khushbu at around 11:39 AM, She gave me another Case Number stating this is new case number #[protected] on the same day I spoke with her Manager Greg. he said that I will receive call which I never received, I made several calls to Customer care then they told me to contact Nearest branch, so I visited your Evershine Nagar (Malad) Branch, I have submitted the letter which talks about the phishing transaction happened on my account. I received call once from Divya Joshi stating we are working on this and will get back to you which she never did so I again made call on 26-Oct-08 and spoke with Shahista after being on phone for so long she disconnected the call and called back and then I spoke with her manager Dhaval and he said that he will get back to me or some one will call me back from my home branch but I haven’t received any call, I called back again and spoke with Vaibhav from Complaint department he also told the same thing, spoke with his manager Greg and this time he asked me to contact my home branch which I did I contacted Powai Branch on[protected] and spoke with Silvy Abraham she works as a PB Authorizer in powai branch, she told me that they are still working on it and she will call me. I waited and then decided to contact your Grievance Cell which I did and spoke with Shabnam on[protected] at around 11:09 AM and she gave me another case which is TF[protected] and she asked me to wait for another 2 days. But not reply again I called on 13th Nov 08 and spoke with Harshad and he said the same that wait for 1 day as their is bank holiday. I have made several calls to your Customer care but no one seems to help me and they said we will call you within 2 days but no on call back Very poor customer service. Online banking is not secured at all with HDFC bank.

I am asking them to at least provide me the Cell phone which was recharged so that I can handle the situation from my end but that too you people are not providing me, I am really very disappointed with the kind of service you guys are providing to your customers.

I have lost Rs 1, 09, 000/- through HDFC netbanking Third party transfer by some unauthorised person .

HDFC is not giving any support nor any proper response, every time they changing their commitments and dialogues.since 40 days.

The blame goes to HDFC bank because of their un secured netbanking service compared to other banks netbanking.

How HDFC is responsible by their unsecured service as follows.

1.) HDFC customer care operator service is only between 8:00 A.M to 8:00 P.M.

culprits have done such transactions only on weekends where is no proper customer service.now-a-days every bank is providing 24X7 customer care service.
if such 24x7 service was available i could have requested for stop payment service soon after receiving the SMS alert.

2.) There is only one single password for netbanking login. where as other banks have provided multiple passwords like transaction id, transaction password, security device, other logical combination of code printed on back side of the ATM card.

HDFC doesnt have any such double security system . one password is leaked any sort of transaction can be done which is fully unsecured service.

3.) By default the Limit for TPT is 5.0 lacs. actually it should start from lesser value. But for cash withdrawl it is fixed at lesser value.

hence a chance for the hacker to sweep out the complete balance amount less that 5.0 lacs.

4.) In order to add a beneficiary account for TPT it takes 24 hours time to get registered but what actually does the process do for 24 hours as there is no relation security check between the beneficiary name and account number.
where as in cheque name of the beneficiary is important but in TPT funds transfer there is no such relation.

This point should be noted.

5.) You have provided virtual keyboard as a security for entering login details customer-id and password but at the same time if by mistake user enters from hard keyboard of the PC it accepts, then where is the security, there is no purpose of giving Virtual keyboard.
Actually when the provision comes for entering customer-id and password the system should not accept from hard keyboard.such service is available with all other banks.

6.) Since my money has been transfered to culprits account in another branch of HDFC bank then it is HDFC responsibility for reversal of the amount by any means.
Since the culprit person is absconding then HDFC verification team is also responsible for this as that culprit customer also holds gold debit card.
ther should be several proof documents to be submitted to get the gold debit card but HDFC has issued to a tom-dick 'n' harry customers.

Kindly help me in this regard .

i fell it very hard as iam alone in this struggle.

Rajesh Jutur

Hi
I am having Credit Card of HDFC Bank. There was a service to pickup up the cheque for outstanding balance before due date. Till date no body comes to pickup and nop body even bothers to call back.

I submitted the complaint by phone banking. They (bank representative) apologies and told me that no extra charges will be levied upon. But the charges were there on new statement.
I asked in writing for the clarification and reversal of charges before I pay the cleared amount. They (bank representative) did the reversal and again put charges in next statement.

This thing is going on from 3 months but bank is not taking appropriate actions to solve the issue and unnecessary harassing me for paying the minimum amount. Please guide what to do. My email is [protected]@gmail.com

Thanks & regards

I had deposited an ICICI bank chq in my HDFC account on 12th Nov and ICICI had debited my account on 12th itself but HDFC bank has given credit for this cheque only on 15th Nov evening as a result of which my EMI chq dated 15th Nov was returned. I can't understand how local cheques take 4 days to clear incl deposit date - though in my account on 14th they have shown credit but with value date of 15th. Why can;t credit be given on 15th morning and honour my EMI chq. HDFC has charged me Rs. 350 as chq return charges even though amount is available and Hsg loan I have to pay chq return charges

sir,

I have need my two wheeler loan a/c details and statement.Please give the statement immediatly.


Thanking you

Respected Sir,

This is to inform you that in regard to outstanding amount against my credit card. I wish to inform that I am regular in paying my installments against the loan of my card. I hadbeen a regular payee against all bill of my credit card time to time but 2 months before I had deposited in hdfc drop box. a chq. of SBI anandapuri branch of rs 3000., which has been collected by your collection department but it has not gone for clearance at my banker due to misplace by your people of the same which bank has accepted by apologying & one reversal letter.Then I starte geting phone calls from your collection agency & they start making my life hell irrespected of paying the amount again.I had to stop the chq from my bank which costed rs 100 from my account.HDFC have blocked my card by without informing me by showing overdue for rs 175 rs only. One side we are told that we are a gold customer for the bank by issuing a gold card and on the other hand we are forced to feel that the bank is robbing us. From the credit card services point of view the definition of customer in my eyes is now take cust and mar. More apart from that I even geting threat calls from Mr. ARINDAM KHASNABISH( Mob no. [protected]) seema service addressal pvt ltd&global recovery talks like a paid muscleman or goons of HDFC bank.He is sending his people daily basis for rs. 175 only & harrasing like anything with abusive language. I am 65 years old, retaired bank employee, a cardiac and bloodsugar patient but never seen this type of harrasment. Your customer care call center is absolutely meaningless. He talks like a parrot. Your local banks did not entertain any credit card complains. Such infrastructure of customer care is been made by the bank intentionally so that customer can not do any thing by complaining locally with bank’s branch office resulting in increase in outstanding amount which is the sole purpose of the bank in order to earn more. In other terms the white paper method for robbing the customer. I am very much disappointed. In fact there is no transparency in the credit card business from your bank.I am very much disturbed and scared therefore I have loddged a local police complain agaist unwanted people at my residence. I have made up a mind to not to pay any extra charges, if required I will take this case to your Chairman or Director, Consumer Court, RBI, Finance Ministry and Media. I would also like to see what benefits does my bank give to a gold card customer or what is the mission and quality policy or objectives does my bank have from customer point of view. Is it justified that one side Government of India is waiving the loans of our “Kissan Bhai” and other side my bank HDFC are finding out the unethical ways, methods and means to earn money? Kindly Take necessary action against my complain immediately, otherwise HDFC will be responsible for all consiquence of my life& my health.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I opened my HDFC bank account on 17-09-08 and till today I cannot withdraw money from my bank account. I joined Accenture on 17-09-08.On 29-10-08 my salary was credited to my HDFC account. I was unable to withdraw money. I met Asha (who opened the account) on 03-11-08. She told me that they lost my employee Id. number. I gave her the employee Id. number then and there. Then Asha told me that the account will be activated on 08-11-08. On 08-11-08 she gave me a massage that due to some
Technical problem it is not activated it will be activated on 09-11-08. On 10-11-08 she came with a new idea and told me that my signature is mismatching (which is not true). However, I gave her the identity proof with my signature on the very same day. Asha told me that the account will be activated on 12-11-08. She also made me to talk with her manager named Rahul, who also gave me the same information that the account will be activated on 12-11-08. On 12-11-08 when still cannot withdraw my own money I gave Asha a call at 9:45, she do not have any answer for this. Since, then everyday I go to Asha and she doesn’t know anything about my account. I called in Rahul as well reading this on 14-11-08 and he is willing to take any action and hung up the call.

Please note:
I was unable to pay my mobile bill on the due date even though I have money in my account.
I was also unable to pay the quarterly premium on Nov. for my insurance.

Kindly take strict legal action against HDFC and file a case in consumer court. If possible you can also provide me steps to file a case in consumer court
and show me the path how to get compensated for this type of service.

Hope a positive reply will come from you people.

Regards,

Rajiv Gogoi

From the landline number from which i was called i came to know later that this number[protected] was from the HDFC Credit Card division.The lady name "Sarika" from the JP Nagar Branch(Bangalore) who called me told that i was some "ranju" / "rajiv singh" (which is not my name/i never had any savings or credit card a/c with HDFC)and started asking questions about my address and behaved very rudely.She expected that i should give her all my personal info and at that point where she thought i should believe that she was from HDFC.

I didnt agree to talk to such a lunatic and she kept calling me again.So it is a wrong number she was calling and misbehaving.I kept my cool just because she was a lady.She has no decency to speak.Everytime i used cut the call, she called back.This happened Nov 13th, 2008.

I would request the HDFC Management to sack such an employee.She is a liability for the company.

The only transaction i had with HDFC was a Bike loan which i cleared two years back but i sure i would not ever deal with HDFC because of Sarika.

Regards,

Rajesh
