HDFC Bank — revision of credit card limit

Dear sir,

My name is Ashok. I have been using the HDFC credit card for more than a year.
Last year I received the following email stating that my limit has been revised. I did not receive any SMS for the revision of my limits. I received this email after nearly 10 days after revising my limit.
You can go through my repayment records prior to this period. By the time my limit was reduced I have spent around Rs 22000/-. So I have been charged for excess credit limit.
When the call center people called me asking for repayment, they raised one more issue-- that I am not eligible for credit card. I have been working as a consultant for Rs 30000/- per month. The call center fellow told me that my take home works to Rs 3500/- and asked how I got the card?
1. My question is why HDFC issued card if I am not eligible?
2. HDFC employees give away card to increase their points.
3. When I told these points, he started abusing me and threatened me .
4. I have been in out of employment for the last one year.
5. In spite of that I have managed to repay my credit card dues.
6. Now the last month minimum due was Rs800/- and that has been added to this month statement and the amount due is Rs2846/-.
7. I have been receiving calls from call center to pay Rs 800/-. If I pay the amount Rs 800/- now, the payment window in HDFC site will close and will open only after I receive the next month bill, there again increasing my due s and levying fines for not paying on time. So I told them I will pay by next month beginning once my salary is credited.
8. To this they are not accepting. There again individual point come into play-- if they persuade and threaten any customer to pay and if he pays, it increases the call center fellows credibility.--- This is my view.
9. Once my salary is credited i will pay half my dues and in next month salary I will pay the remaining.
10. I have been paying fines for issues created by HDFC employees.-- hope you can understand this.

After that Kindly cancel my card.

The following is the copy of mail I received from HDFC dated 27-Mar-2018
