ICICI Bank Complaints & Reviews

I am Jayanthi, from Chennai I had issued 2 cheques as settlement amount towards the above mentioned credit card to your collection executive on 05.06.2010 sent by Mr.Prem Anand Manager ([protected]).

He had informed me over phone that he has settled my amount to Rs. 9,400/- as settlement amount and requested me to issue 2 cheques amounting to 4700/- each cheque. He wanted current dated cheque since I am out of job and insufficient fund I had requested him to consider post dated cheque which he agreed and request me had over the same to collection agent at my door step. When I asked for the receipt he said that he would bring the letter for full settlement and receipt in the evening

Its almost a month and I am yet to receive the settlement letter or receipt.

It is being found that the cheque has been overwritten on the date and my signature forged by your office. I was shocked to see that the amount being debited to my account on 22.06.2010, since I had the first cheque dt.10.07.10, I requested the bank to forward me the cleared cheque copy in which I found that the date has be tampered and signature forged. I did not except this kind of action from a reputed bank. I do not understand how he can fool an educated person.

To unable any further problems I have given a stop payment for the above mentioned cheque dt.10.08.2010. I need a written explanation for this and sorry to say that I will not pay any further amount on the credit card dues.

Sir,
For your information i was having a credit card no.[protected] and it was being used by me till year 2009 and i was having and outstanding amout for which i got a call and there executice came to me and i paid rs 5000 and they told me that now there will be no charge taken from me as this will be the final amout but after that also i was getiing the statement having the addition of late fees and interset and than they proposed me for the full settlement by call and send there executive to me whom i paid Rs 1400 rs and also got settlement letter also but after some time they againg started to send the statement with the due amont which was actually only late fees and interest whjich i already paid to them and when i claimed to them by showing the settlement letter they told that this is fake as they not gave me the receipt they only gave me letter while settlement so i realized my fault once again and asked them to tell me the payment to be paid and they proposed for settlement by paying Rs.2400/- and i became ready but when they came to know that i am having salaried account no.[protected] in ICICI they blocked my accout and done stop payment for the harrasment and than Mr N Agarwal a manager of recovery division who is at 5th floor of ICICI bank at derby center parade kanpur asked me to pay either 7000/- rs for the account unblocking or to pay a fixed percentage to him for make settlement as he only proposed me for settlement and and assured me for it but afterwards he gave me a letter in which he declined the proposal by saying that they cannt do . But if there was not a procedure of settlement than why did they proposed me and send letter. But as i was not ready to give any amout to any person so i gave the whole amout in which about 2300/- was my usage and rest was late fees or interest whic they were telling not to pay before they were unknown about my salary account.
Sir i only want to know that please ask them if there is no procedure of settlement than why they done it before for which they gave me letter and after that thsi year why did they proposed me for settlement before knowing about my salaried account in ICICI and on which behalf they declined the offer of settlement which i was ready to pay.. Why this dual type of services are being provided to there customers that for outer defaulters they do settlement but for customers they block there account harrash them and than either they ask for bride percentage or they use to deduct the payment from saving or salaried account.. Sir waiting for your valuable reply and action.
Thanks

The following is the letter of complaint sent to ICICI Prudential Life Grievance Cell :

Dear Grievance Cell, re: Special Claim for harassment and loss

I write this to find out what claim am I entitled to on account of harassment and loss to me caused by your untrained staff and your damaging systems.

I am indeed very harassed over the last three months by the wrong commitments made to me by officers of different offices of ICICI Kolkata . As a result I have landed in financial troubles in terms of loans and borrowings, when my own money should have been readily made available to me.



1. On the 27th of March I went to your ICICI , AJC Bose Road office to find out about the status of my Life Time Super Pension Policy No: 05600950. I was told to stop the payment for the policy and instead take a new policy by the name of Pinnacle. I declined.

2. I enquired about the redemption of Life Time Super Pension Policy No: 05600950, and I was told to pay 2 more premiums till, May 2010. I went in May and I was given a PAYOUT form to submit in 1st week of June 2010 Since I was to get money by the 10th of June 2010, I made my financial arrangements accordingly. I went in the 1st week of June 2010 and I was told it is not possible and I have to pay one more month premium. Which I ultimately paid.
Feedback : Why are your staff not trained on the products.

3. Since the person was not able to solve my problem , I went to JL Nehru Road Branch and met Mr. Nirmalya Auddy, to find out where I can get it done. He spoke to someone at your ICICI HO on phone, and told me that he will do it in 4 days. Again I re-arranged my financial arrangements accordingly.

Feedback : when an executive cannot do it why do they have to lie.

4. I met him the next day and he told me it will not be done. I had to borrow money to cover up my expenses.

5. Your respondents on email were not able to help me either despite my repeated complaints, which you can check with the customer care department. When I put forward a query , they would reply on some other totally irrelevant topic , most of the time, especially “ we will respond to you within 6 working days”. In this age that is a century.

6. Feedback : Your service department is not functional and is totally irrelevant.

7. Getting no suitable help from customer care department via email [protected]@icicprulife.com I was forced to contact other offices of ICICI to get some help.

8. Lastly I went to 38, Chowringhee Road, Kolkata – 700 071. Hoping that this time, atleast I will get help. Mr. Subhankar Ghosh helped me with the payout form and promised me that it would be deposited on 30th June 2010. I met him on that date and he promised that he would deposit it today or tomorrow, where I can get the highest value. I met him again on the 6th to confirm and he said it has been done on the 1st of July 2010. I was happy.

9. I received a call from HO( I was told that the call is being recorded) on the 30th of June 2010 , guaranteeing me that the redemption amount will be transferred to my account in four days.

10. When the amount did not get transferred to my account, I met Subhankar again and I was told that it has been deposited on 1st July2010. I asked for the acknowledgement slip and I was told it is an online one. I repeatedly met him to talk about the redemption and transfer of money to my account. But felt there was something wrong.

11. I kept on repeatedly writing to [protected]@iciciprulife.com regarding the redemption and transfer , mostly getting irrelevant response,

12. I received an email response that the money will get transferred on the 16th of July 2010.

13. On the 14th of july 2010, I received a call from your HO no: [protected] at 18.58.38 p.m. stating that the policy was deposited only on the 8th of July and not the 1st of July 2010 , as told to me. And the payout will be made in 2 days time, i.e. the 16th of July 2010.

I am sure now you will definitely agree that I have been thoroughly misinformed from all sides, leading to tremendous harassment , unnecessary running around and monetary losses as I had to loan money to meet my expenses..


The Final Question : I therefore request you to inform me what special claim I am entitled to ? …… for the undue harassment and financial losses I had to incur on account of the untrained staff, inept systems, false commitments, delayed service , irrelevant email service through [protected]@iciciprulife.com. I , as a customer should not suffer on account of ICICI’s faulty systems.

Kindly get in touch with the customer care department, check my emails and their responses, and listen to the recorded conversations between ICICI Head Office Customer Care Cell and me , and then assess what additional and special compensation I am entitled to .

Yet to receive Form 16A till date (11.7.2010) though the last date for filing return is 31.7.10. True I didn't respond to your letter (Ref. No.F/P/E/4270 dt.8.5.10) by sending Form 15 G/H within the stipulated date simply because I am an income tax assessee and hence ineligible to claim any exemption for TDS. That doesn't preclude you to deduct tax and send Form-16A. Since it is quite late, kindly send a soft copy by email followed by a hard copy by post/courier.
Thanking you,

I am Mr. Sunny Kala working with NDPL. I am having my Salary account with ICICI bank, whose account no is[protected]. One year back I booked railway tickets from my ICICI credit card then after a month I cleared that amount as well but after 6 months I got a call from your credit card department they were saying that my credit card amount is due I told them that I have already cleared that amount. Then today (10th Jul’10) when I checked my debit account it showed me a debit of Rs. 8000/- . I check my account details through internet baking but it was not showing any transaction. I called your CCE he told me that this transaction is made for non payment of my credit card bill. But I am not getting that why this particular transaction has been made as I have already cleared my credit card bill.

A strong action should be taken for these silly things as it causes mental harassment. If ICICI bank will not do any thing on this I will definitely drag them to the court. This is not at all acceptable all time.

Look into this ASAP and get back to me.

Dear Mr. Deepak,
As in the trailing mail you asked me for 5 more days for your process which have already passed and I have not recieved any detail from your side.

I am finding that your bank is not supporting me as they can. I demanded for the details of POOL ACCOUNT of dealer through which the money was transfered to vodafone but your branch representatives always say that they are trying for details.
I do not understand wether it is your procedure or negligence of your representative but definately in both the cases it will force me to go for legal way & media to get my money back from your bank.
As it is definate that security of your bank has been cracked and there is no fault of end user i.e. me, so you are kindly requested to provide me the account detils of dealer of vodafone so I can process the Matter LEGALLY and with the help of media.

Dear Sir



Sub: Fraud fund transfer through my Savings account no.[protected]



This is with reference to complaint no. SR[protected] registered to ICICI bank customer care on 3rd May 2010. In which I have informed the bank about fraud payments from my bank account without any information to me. I have also given the written complaint to the branch manager of my native branch (sec-63 noida).



Since more than 72 hours have passed and no action has been taken by bank authorities.

I have not received any enquiry or information call from the bank.



I would like to mention that:



1 I have neither received any call from your bank about such transactions being done as it was not usual transfers from account.


2 Total sum of Rs. 46,169.00/- has been debited from my account without my knowledge.



In the light of above, I think that this is harassment by the bank upon me.



Despite all that, I am willing to get resolve the matter with the bank. In this respect, I request you to first of all provide us with the complete details of the transfers and account numbers where the transfers have been done.



I went to the ICICI Bank Branch at Sec 63 noida met Mr. Anand over there and he told me that the transfers have been done to Vodafone through Internet banking, same was told to me by your customer care when I registered a complaint. But when I made a call to customer care cell of ICICI bank on 5th May 2010 to get the status of my complaint your representative told me that transaction have been done to some personal account and not the Vodafone and bank name and account have not been updated yet.


I have also instructed by Finance Department to look into this matter since it’s a corporate account and have strongly recommended them to close the dealings with ICICI Bank and the same will be recommended to my friends and relatives who are holding any type of relationship with your bank



I would request you to reply back to me in writing within 7 days failing to which will force me to launch a complaint with the consumer forum.



Thanking You

Bank Says they have misplaced my FD which I submitted for renewal.
FD no is 333H0053109
On top of that bank doen't have any record on computer.
I am following up with bank's operational manager at Kondhwa Branch however answer is couriour guy has misplaced my FD
There is no record of my FD in ICICI bank

I wonder how this banks work ?
I don't want to keep any money with ICICI
When will i get clear picture and get my money back?

The new issue with icicidirect as per the message on the website is that the amount of traffic exceeds the Web site's configured capacity.If the so called "biggest private bank" group can't handle the traffic why do they take so many customers...if the IT capacity is not manageable then stop opening up new demat accounts for new customers...that will spare all o[censored]s the frustration n irritation caused by this poorly managed web enabled trading facility...ANyways, after the poor show in last few days many o[censored]s will move to other brokerage houses...For people like me, who are outside india....will have to bear the torture for few more days, months till we come back to india and switch accounts...but of course it will now be my "priority no 1" to switch my account the moment i land in india...this icici group is full of jerks and incompetant [censored]s. ...who don't even deserve half of the brokerage fee charged by them...

ICICI BANK OR ITS DEMAT DEPARTMENT KEEP ASKING FOR RESUBMITTING OF KYC DOCUMENTS GIVING SOME EXCUSE LIKE FLOODS OR RBI GUIDELINES ETC. THEIR WEB SITE IS NOT AVILABLE FOR TRADE AND DESPITE SPEAKING TO THEM THEIR PERSONNEL KEEP RINGING UP AND DISTURBING US POSING AS WEALTH MANAGERS ETC. i AM SURE RBI DOES LAY DOWN ANY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAKING KYC PERIODICALLY. IF SO THEY HAVE NOT QUOTED RBI CORRECTLY WITH THE REFERENCES

icicidirect is really pathetic...web based trading service provider is truly an inefficient service provider....most of the time its website is down or too slow to place any order...realtime trading is a distant dream as far as icicidirect is concerned...the website has been down for past two days and day traders have lost huge money....i have not been able to place any order yesterday and unable to cover my position and book some new orders...this is outrageous and frustrating that despite paying so high charges (highest in india) one has to face such downtimes for so long...

My request to higher management at icicidirect---please do sth abt it otherwise investors like me will have to switch accounts...
