Dear Sir / Madam,
My Name is (Sur Name) Ravuri, (Name) Srinivasa Rao. Since march 2008, I am working in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania as Chief Operating Officer for Bidco Oil & Soap Limited and my contact number is +[protected] on two years work permit (Permit is valid up to March'2010)
Two weeks back when I applied for Housing Loan I was informed in CIBIL report there was an write off of Rs.71, 469 is written off as bad debts as non payment. While contacting HSBC through e mail requesting them to provide the transaction details they are repeatedly sending same misleading mail again and again which says "We can not delete your entry". I am not at all requesting them to delete my entry infact I am challenging them it is their mistake of showing the write-off wherein I have paid all my dues. If all the transaction details are provided I can prove them wrong. Also I have two more credit cards with the same bank. If I am not paying will not they chase me over mails (as I have all monthly credit card communication from HSBC which proves that they have my mail ID)
For your benefit given below is their reply & below is my mail. Pl do justice.

Hi,
Pl go through the all the correspondence below.
1. Mail from cibil to me saying there is write-off in your (HSBC) books for some amount
2. My complaint to HSBC saying all the due are paid and nothing is outstanding
3. HSBC wrote me saying they have not received payment that is the reason they had to write-off the outstanding
4. Mail from me saying I had paid all the amount due fro me. There is no single paisa which is outstanding. Hence requesting all the transaction details to enable me to prove that I have cleared all the dues. Also incase I am defaulting the payment howcome I am using two HSBC credit cards (even now) and you are not able to follow up with me.
So far I have not received any communication from you. Grateful if you can organize to send me all transaction details for the above mentioned Card (How that much outstanding arrived) to enable me to prove my all payments to you.
Hope to get the details as soon as possible.
Thanks & regards,
R.Srinivasa Rao

0.00. If the card is settled as per the settlement agreement the details
will be updated in the CIBIL records as "Written off".
Please note that Written-off" is the point at which the creditor writes
off the account balance as a "bad debt." It usually happens after six
months of non-payment. Our records reflect that your card account has
been written-off and has been zeroised by bank .Thus accordingly the
data has been submitted with CIBIL .
As per Reserve Bank of India guidelines, we provide credit information
relating to our Credit Cardholders to Credit Information Bureau ( India )
Limited (CIBIL) on a monthly basis. The information provided reflects
the status as at the previous month-end and includes information
regarding whether the Credit Card account is regular or delinquent.

Complaint marked as Resolved
HSBC Credit Cards, India — Levying of Annual Fees
My HSBC Credit card no. is [protected] issued to me in Chennai. As usual, while issuing the card, I was told that his is going to be a "life time Free" credit card and there will be no membership fee or annual charges levied whatsoever.However, as sson as the first year of the card possession completed, I started to get statements including the annual fees (of which I had no idea about). The same was taken to the attention of the customer care executives of HSBC who promised to reverse the charges.
Unfortunately no action was taken from HSNC's sdie and I continued to receive the outstanding statement the successive month including late payment fee also. I once again called up HSBC customer care and explained the issue, this time requesting them to even cancel my card if this is going to be the case. I got a service request no.[protected] and was assuered that an email has been sent to the concerned dept. and that my outstandings will be reversed.
Sadly, no positive results were seen even after repeated follow ups (nearly 10 to 12 times) with HSBC 's so called customer care. They never bother to solve the issue and till date i receive the monthly statment, escalating very month by the late payment fee.
HSBC should have some conscience before harassing people like this nad not even bothered to solve their problem even after repated follow ups. I got a feeling that this is the way this compnay works as my case is not eh first regarding people being charged annual fee ontheir credit cards whle veryone are promised that it will be a life time free card.
Hope there are still some people working in HSBC who are atleast bothered to give try to solve such issues.
Hoping that my problem will be taken care atleast in the future to come.
Terribly disappointed HSBC customer
