Dear SIr /Madam,
My Name JOJO T M I am writing this for your kind information and action for the below given issue:
Problem: HDFC Bank is collecting 3 months EMI on my credit card which I haven't spent and they are not ready to refund.
I have a credit card account with HDFC bank for the last 7 years and am doing quite good online purchases.
Credit card number :CC # 4636 XXXX XXXX 4943 (I don't have any HDFC bank account only credit card account I am using with net banking)
Amount : Rs. 5974 /-
Date of purchase item from the Flipkart : 09/10/2022
Date of cancellation and refund of the amount to HDFC Bank: 09/10/2022 (On same day i have cancelled the order and refund returned to bank)
EMI number: #(#85852341 Amount Rs.5974/-)
Date of EMI collection started by HDFC: 26/09/2022 (according to bank it is because of some technical issue even though the refund recived on 9th they could not initiate EMI calculations)
I have noticed this month (January 2023) only I am paying EMI for the amount which I am not at all used banks money.
I informed customer support on 17th January and they informed me that they have no facility to refund or reverse the EMI amount paid. I couldn't see any EMI cancel option on the net banking site.
As per the customer care suggestion I have escalated the case to escalation.cc on Jan 19th : Ref No:'51519849'
Escalation team also informed that even though they understand the situation they have no option to reverse the EMI collected.
As per the escalation team I have escalated the case to grievance.[protected]@hdfcbank.com Ref : [protected] on Jan 20th.
But still I have no replay from the bank or no answers to my queries.
For me the amount Rs.5974 is a big money. For the banks, they can use a lot of one-sided rules to take my money. Even for this month's statement it includes the EMI and if I am not paying the amount the bank will come with a penalty and killing interest.
Please note some of the mails pasted below from the HDFC customer case team
As a poor customer I seek justice from the respected RBI for clearing my payment soon. Please understand the tension, time and inconvenience situations created by one transaction and one side policies.
Expecting your kind action soon.
Thanks and regards
