I had subscribed for this paid service and and on not getting the service what shall I do?

This is in continuation to my previous complaint registered on 26/03/2009.ICICI has commincated to me regarding my auto Loand account.This loan was transffered from standard Chartered bank to ICICI in April 2006.This loan is ready for closure but now after 3 years ICICI wants me to pay an amout of Rupees 1284/-.Earlier ICICI told me that this amount was pending from Standard Chartered when the loan was transffered.I have checked with Standard Chartered and according to them there is no amount of rs 1284/- pending on me on any account.ICICI has told me now that this is rate transfer chare which has to be paid by me.As per the loan agreement, my loan is on fixed rate and I have to pay a fixed EMI for the duration of loan failing which I have to pay some penalty charges. Nothing was mentioned about any rate transfer charges.I have been paying all my EMI's on time without a single default.Now when the loan is ready for closure ICICI has come up with this additional amount.Earlier I was told that this is pending from Standard chartered and now ICICI is telling me that this is the rate transfer charges which I have to pay.
As per my understanding I am not liable to pay any rate transfer charges to ICICI at the time of loan closure.I have paid all my EMI's.
ICICI is a cheat bank.I am being harrased by the bank to pay this amount for loan closure.Please highlight this fraudulent practise of the bank.I would like to move to consumer court on this.Need advice and guidance.

This is to bring to your attention the various unethical practices within ICICI Bank. The Bank is defrauding customers and using unethical means to generate revenue in the form on interest through Home Loans.

Based on media reports, we understand that the Bank had offered only specific customers a scheme for reduction in the interest rates. This reduction could be availed by the customer paying a switch fee of 0.50% and the...

I want to complain about the shoddy service provided by ICICI Direct in the name of online trading. First, it took them a week to give me a new online password, that too after several visits to their office in Chandigarh. Then, today the site let me log in and even change my password, but ever since it is failing to accept it and has locked my account. This despite the fact that just an hour earlier it had let me log in with the new password.

Now the system tells me to ask for resetting my password which will take another week. Is this some kind of a joke? At this rate I will never be able to start trading at all. Why do they make such tall claims about helping inevstors trade online when they can't even get the basics right. For God's sake, how can you lock an account in a matter of minutes. And even when I unlock my acount after giving the necessary details, it refuses to accept my password.

Later, I was told that I had exhausted my tries and had no option but to ask for resetting my password, which as I mentioned earlier wil ltake at least one more week.

Worst of all, I tried calling their so-called 24-hour helplines numerous times but with no succcess.

Will somebody at the BSE, NSE or SEBI take some steps to ensure that a leading bank like ICICI does not take its customers for a ride.

The ICICI Direct.com has given me nothing but high blood pressure.

The regulators should either make sure it works well or discontinue it.

It is a crying shame that a bank of this standing can't get its system right.

I have put a cheque (No. 129889 dated 03 Jan 09) of Rs. 4000/- of ABN Amro Bank, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi Br on 06 Jan 09 at the ICICI ATM Booth, HP Petrol Pump (Gymkhana Service station), Race Course, New Delhi -03. The same amount has not yet been credited in my account till date (14 Apr 09). On 04 Feb 09 I have lodged a complaint with ICICI Customer Care in Delhi and I was assured for feed back within 24 hrs on the issue. As a result, niether any feed back on the issue nor the amount is credited in my account number[protected]. Request to solve the issue and Rs. 4000/- may be credited in my account at the earliest.

Complaint: I am having a Saving Bank Account no.[protected] against the
same account no ICICI bank has blocked Rs. 15000.00 approx against my
credit card on 9th May 2007.
Which is already closed in 2005. I have discussed with Delhi as well as
Mumbai centres but nobody is ready to help me out.
In 2003 ICICI bank has offered me Credit card and i have enjoyed the same
till 2005. I have paid whatever was the dues that time and ICICI Bank''s
DSA/ DST members / Collection agency has assured me that nothing is
pending against the same card.
From 2005 ICICI bank has not responded to me on this but suddenly in 2007
they blocked my money and said Rs. 14575.00 is pending against your credit
card . There was no communication from Bank to me from 2005 to 2007on
pending dues...even i am having the SB A/c with ICICI since 2001.

I have discussed with Bank team that is Neeta and chirag who has commited
that ICICI bank will reverse the amount and will release the blocked
amount of INR 15000 .They have confirmed, they will be back with all the
things with in 5 hrs but after two day s nobody is coming on the
phone.After that i have started floating the mails to customer care but
nothing has come to me on a concrete way.Since 2007 i am chasing them but
there is no solution.

Even on 24th March 2009 . Mr. Ajay has called me up (phone no.
[protected] for setllement and asked for INR 11, 000 against F&amp;F and
told me that if i''ll not confirmed the same then they will recover the
entire 15000 amount.

It is my humble request to you, pls help me out in this so that i''ll get
back my blocked money .

Dear Sir,
This is with reference of my loan application no. 60777203 with ICICI BANK LTD. for a car loan, i would like to know one thing ICICI had declined my application on basis of CREDIT CARD default with other banks. As per my information control number of CIBIL is[protected] and i am sure about my self that i am holding 2 credit cards from ICICI Bank only. Can please look into this matter and confirm me for same.

To whom it may concern

I have savings account with ICICI bank. Bank has charged me POS Decline Charge for insufficient balance on 13/04/2009 of Rs 56. If I bank considers it to be customer's mistake of not maintaining the right balance, then why does bank not considers itself guilty when our card gets rejected on many instances for no reason. Why always customer has to pay for his mistakes. And even if bank is paying this POS Decline Charge to some third party (VISA, MASTER CARD Etc), why don't customers get the same charge from bank.

Thank You.

Dear Sirs,

I have taken a home loan from M/s ICICI Bank way back in 2001 and subsequently I have taken home improvement loan from the same bank around 2002. The details are as follows:

1. LBMUM[protected],
2. LBMUM[protected]
3. LBMUM[protected]

EMI Payment being followed is as follows.

I am working in a Multinational company and all my EMIs are thro salary. Every month Andheri JB Nagar Branch sends the statement containing all the employees who have taken loan from ICICI Bank to our finanance department on every 2nd day of the month. On receipt of the same our finaance deartment prepares the cheque and sends back to Andheri JB Nagar branch. This is the procedure which is being followed since last 7-8 years.

My Complaint: When ever our finanance department sends the cheque to JB nagar they debit all my EMIs to only one or two account instead of all the three (instead of distributing the respective EMIs to respective accounts). They use to send some goonds to my house and ask for the payments due. Around the year 2003 I have made complaint and some of the executives visited my office expressed their apologies for their mistakes. Again it started around 2004 and the story is one. I made a comptaint to Mr. Kamat (CEO of ICICI Bank) and on his intervention Head of Service quality intervened sent his apologies for their mistakes. Again it restarted during this year and it is being continued and they keeps on sending me the reminders by phone and thro letters for due amount. I am really fed up with this bank and I would like to go to court for this kind of harasement (inspite me paying all my EMIs regurlarly without my fault). Please advise.

I am a credit card customer of ICICI bank. My credit card number is: - [protected].
I had a due payment of Rs. 42, 257.66 last month. On 3rd of April I got a call form ICICI Mumbai from the number[protected] and the executive told me to make the payment to the executive on next day 4th April. I told her that I’ll make the payment in the bank only but she convinced me that if I’ll pay the amount to executive late payment will not be charged. So I agreed for that. On 4th April executive came to my residence address C-26, Sec 20, Noida, and asked me to pay the minimum due of Rs. 2120
But I had paid him Rs. 10000 cash with 19 notes of Rs 500 and 5 of Rs. 100 as I want to cut the due as soon as possible. He gave me the receipt for the payment. But till now my payment has not been updated and I get a call daily to make the payment. I complained this issue to the customer care executive and got the request number[protected] but till yet nothing is done as my payment is not updated.
I am getting frustrated as daily I get a call from the bank to make the payment. Please suggest what should I do in this case.

Hi,

I have applied for 2 ICICI insurance policy about 2 1/2 months ago. The person visited my house and collected 2 cheques and and ECS format from me. I also signed the application for Smart Kin and another invest plan ( I dont even remember the name of the plan since no document was issued). I had cleared infomed the executive that i can invest about Rs. 3500/- every month. He agreed for the same and collected one Current Dated cheque for Rs. 3500/- and an undated cheque. The reason behind collecting the Undated cheque was that for the next installment in case if the ECS has not been activated then this cheques would be used. However, the cheques were deposited in the same month without my knowledge. When called and asked they said it was a error. This was my 1st bad experiene with ICICI bank. Till date i have not received any communication from this regarding the insurance document. When called up they said my policy was declined and the refund cheque has already been dispatched. TIll date i have not received any thing. After all this I receive a Call from Delhi ICICI Inusrance cell asking for Medical test. This was rediculous. Please info the status on my cheque and when can i receive the refund as i am not at all interested in the policy. In case i dod not here in next 72 Hrs i shall file a case in the Consumer Court.

Thanks
