Details of complaint: Dear Sir,
I am holding a Icici bank credit card bearing
no.[protected]..

As per the confirmation by your customer care, I have come to know the status that my card has been permanently blocked due to late payment, but i wish to bring to your kind notice that i have always been paying all my outstandings, and always paid all the necessary late fees, interest and other charges whatsoever has been charged on my card and always made the payments for each and every bill, but still having always been making the payments my card has just been blocked without any reason, My last payment got delayed only just because i was out of town and was not in a situation to pay the payment on time as i reached back my hometown a little late, and just for this reason my card has been blocked..

I was not given any reminder call for the payment neither any sms alerts nor any personal call by the executive and without any prior notice the bank has blocked the card.. Now that i have been following up the matter repeatedly, i notice that the bank is not co-operating the needful with me.

Hence i hereby wish to inform you to treat this mail seriously and revert back the needful or else failing to his i shall be forced to take the necessary action in Legal and also the complaint shall be forwarded to the concerned higher authorities and also to the Banking Ombudsment..

Therefore kindly treat this matter with serious note and need the revert at the earliest..

Humm.. waht to tell about this bank. you can please go through the following mail can just figure out. But for a brief:
I took a loan against CC which was shown as pre approved. I got the amount two time during 6 days of time. I inform abt the second one to customer care abt no response, fortunately i started communiocating with them in written seeing this bank reputation, and rest you can know in the following mail. Besides this communication, i have spoken to customer care over trhe phone for which i have not provided the any no. Last time i cummunicatted on 22 Dec 2008 on[protected] then 173. this was told by Sec 50 branch saying there your dispute will be sorted out.

I visted this branch on 20 Dec 2008 with CR No CB135. But he seemd helples and send me to collection department who gave me this no.


Dear Account Manager,

I think you have just looked into the matter or taking some action also. Is there any solution to this kind of technical fault. I am sure that you are not facing such complaint for first time. I am not able to understand that i apply for a loan online. Second I got the amount twice. I notify the matter to you. But you people reply, in our accouht this, only one time transfer showing. I still keep you updating about this. But there no action planed or taken. And finally wht i see that Mony is registered to my existing loan ammount and EMI's are started. Now you people ask me to cancle this loan. When i have not applied for this one, why should i raise a request for canclling this. Even then i ask to raise this, i got a call but nothing is happening. Now i am outside of india, Once back, i would like to personally solve this matter. Now i know you cannot do anything than provading me a date again and again. Please let me know the person or branch address where i can go and personally reslove this matter by talking face to face.

Dear Account Manager,

I would like to inform you that in spite of my repetitive notification on a issue of crediting my account twice for a single loan request on credit card Cash in Select offer and your acceptance for the same (See the following mails) and further taking confirmation from me for amount deduction by an executive over the phone, no action has been taken yet.

But, to my surprise, I can see the amount now is reflecting in my CC loan account with more processing fee and service tax for the wrongly credited amount.

Even though this is a clear sign of being careless, I again took the step and informed the matter over the phone to customer care executive on Tuesday, October 07, 2008, and received an assurance of taking action with in 24 hours and also given a request no: SR81918477. But it was 16 October 2008 yesterday but no action again. I called up Executive and explained the issue and received a reply "This must have been done, now I take complaint for this" and when I asked for the Complaint No. he said "you will get it on your mobile phone" but what I got is nothing as usually.

Now I do not know that what to talk with you or how else to inform, as the matter is almost 2 months old but no action as of now. I do not want to file a case but you have left me with no other options.

Providing the account number again which can help in understanding the matter:

Subject: Complaint : -Pre approved Loan requested once from interner banking butapproved and credited to my account in two different transaction,
Dear Officer.

I applied for pre approved loan offer of amount Rs 292500 on 6 Aug 2008 from my online internet banking service, as a result i received the amount in my savings account number[protected] on 6 Aug 2008 itself against the reference number [protected]. On 9 Aug 2008, h i got a call from ICICI that this is a verification call for the application of pre approved loan offer of RS 292500, after finding verification positive, executive assured me that this amount wil be credited to ur account in 2 wprking days. But as i had already received the amount, i brougt the same into his notice.
But to my surprise again i recevied the same amount on 11 aug 2008 in my same savings account. i have spoken to customer care on phone many time but they do nothing but transfer my call from savings account to credit card to cash in select to loan on phone. This race is on for last 3-4 days.
I am fed up and feel help less. no one is trying to understand the exact scenario. I applied once i given two different loan of same amount for same tenour.
Above all i am informing and trying to bring the issue into the matter but i am being redirected from one place to another. i m totally dejected never experenced such a bad exprience with ICICI bank.
I do not want to continune with either of them now. I am in no need to go for bouth and pay an heavy instal ment and extra interest.

So i request you to coordinate with all the concerened department and look into the matter also feel free to contact me at any point of time during the investigation.

Dear sir /madam, i have a personal loan from icici bank a/c no LPDEL[protected], on September 2008 i settled this a/c in Rs 50500/=, against this 37564 Rs i gave to u, after that icici bank debited unauthorized and without my permission from my saving a/c no[protected] Rs 29328 in October month . By this Rs 16392 is excess withdraw from my a/c. This is against law of consumer, so i have to request icici bank to return that amount to me and close my loan a/c after gave me noc for that a/c, also note myno [protected] or[protected]

im cutomer of Punjab National bank(sb a/c-[protected]
on 21/12/08 at 12.38 pm i have used icici bank atm(atm id-S1CW4671) for money withdrawal
but i failed the txn, the massage is transaction declined(txn no.2186)
i dosent get the money but my balance is get deducted.
so kindly refuned it as early as possible.

In the case of State Bank of India Vs Usha Vaid & Anr the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission termed prepayment penalty for home loan as unfair and restrictive trade practices. The Commission asked the bank to refund the pre-payment charges collected from Vaid, who had shifted her loan to another bank. It upheld that Consumers’ right to avail loans at lesser rate of interest can’t be curtailed by such prepayment clauses. SBI SLP (Civil) 16345 of 2007 against the Commission order in the Supreme Court has been dismissed vide SC order dated 19.09.2008.

If you are dissatisfied with the bank, to register your complaint with ICICI:
In Google search for ICICI complaint form. Click on the 1st result of ICICI site. Then go to "Click here for online submission of your grievance."

One good suggestion from Vinod Somani:
Start sending your emails on the following 2 ids:
kamath.[protected]@icicibank.com
senior.[protected]@icicibank.com

Ask them for answers. They will not answer your answer your questions. Rather they will use copy-paste of the standard matter. But do not worry. Send them 20-30 emails. Document all of these responses and then file a suite against ICICI in the consumer court and not with RBI. You will not lose the case. These responses will help you win the case against ICICI for the waiver of foreclosure charges. Then transfer your loan at alomost 3% lower rates to some PSU bank, without any foreclosure charges. By transferring, you will save almost 1 lac rupees every year for a loan of 26 lacs (20 years).

A few things which you can write when they write back to you ...

What is this prevailing economic scenario in the country? Is it different for other Indian Banks (most of those)? If no, then why did you increase the rate in June'08 July'08 timeframe. Even there was no CRR hike (which used to be your favourite excuse earlier). Rather the CRR has been cut by 350 bps. On one hand CRR is cut by such a huge margin and on the contrary ICICI has increased the rate during this period.

I have been using the ICICI Bank EDC machine from past several years. My MID is[protected].
The bank has debited Rs.5400/- on 15/02/2008 from my current account no.[protected] describing some other MID no as mine and thus charges for that MID machine.
But the matter of fact is i own only one machine with me from past several years.
Repeatedly communicating regarding this with the regional manager Mr. Harish Singh and also given a written complaint to him he is least bothered to look in to the matter.
I had called him several times but no action is taken from his side.
and after giving a call in the helpline of bank those people are alo not answering the query.
The responsible authorities are just harrassing customers by not answering them for so long.

i had applied for credit card in ICICI bank and they gave me Big Bazaar card saying that what ever i purhcase in big bazaar i will get 6 reward points for every repuees hundred puchased. so for every thing i purchase from BIg Bazaar i use to swipe ICICI card to get more reward points. But in september on purchase worth Rs. 2000 ICICI my reward points where short by 100 points when mailed the complaint the reply i got is Big bazaar people has swiped my card at wrong machine and so i will not get the reward points. my question is ICICI has not cleared me this condition earlier and it is not my concern that on which machine they swipe my card. my concern is to purhcase from big bazaar and my transcation details also show that i had used my card in Big bazaar then ICICI bank should giive me my reward point which they have not done. now this is a cheating done by ICICI bank and i think this people are playing with the money of ours.
Now i have decided not use ICICI bank card in future and suggest other the same because this people does not entertain your query if they are in default.

I have taken a home loan from ICICI Bank on Feb2004 @7% ROI (Floating Interest). After that they are continously increased the rate of interest to 14% now according to the RBI Interest rate revision.
Now the RBI reduced the Interest rate too the large extent but the bank not reduce the interest rate. Moreover now bank offering new homeloan with 11.5% ROI.
I contacted ICICI Bank official there is no proper respone.

I had availed a personal loan from ICICI Bank inthe year 2004, which has been repaid withinh stipulated time. I had some problem in paying my EMI. My loan got over in July 2007, but due some problem I cleared the loan in month of August 2007 i.e one month later then my stipulated time. I had got the No Dues from bank. But bank has updated my name as defaulter in CIBIL records. Due to this my creditibily has gone down. I am not able get finaince from non other banks due to my name in CIBIL. ICICI bank is doing this purposely to spoil the image of the customer. I had informed bank regarding this but the bank did not pay any attetion. So I request you to please look into the matter and help me out. My contact no is [protected]. My loan account nos is LPPUN[protected].

Hi,

I have ICICI - Club HP Debit Card which I am using for last 4-5 years and I last 4 years I am purchasing fuel from M/s. Western Petrolum, Vikhroli which is ICICI Bank - HP outlet and they never charged me surcharge. Now all of sudden ICICI Bank got up and when I purchased fuel on 15/12/08 swiping my ICICI bank debit card bank debited surcharge on fuel to my account without my knowledge. The reason ICICI bank is claiming is that Petrol Pump cashier swiped my debit Card on other Bank's swiping Machine, isn't that ridiculous.

Thanking you,

Jagananth Patil

WHERE MY RS. 2000/- gone...

I suggest everybody not to deal with ICICI Bank as in ICICI Bank nobody will here you for their own mistake.

All,

This is an attempt to rescue all future home loan borrowers from refraining to apply loans from ICICI. Please read on and you will understand why.

I applied for home loan with ICICI under their floating rate scheme. Floating rate means rate will fluctuate depending on RBI's rate change policy. Well for ICICI floating means only upward revision. I received a rate of 7.5% in Jan 2005. That was increased to 13.5% as of Jul 2008. Acceptable because RBI kept on increasing the CRR and the Repo rates. In the past 2-3 months RBI has reduced the CRR and Repo rates by around 3-4%. Every PSU banks including some Pvt banks like HDFC bank announced a reduction in their PLR for existing customers. But ICICI has not reduced the rate for its existing customers at all. Instead I was shocked to hear that ICICI offered a lower rates for new customers but not existing customers. When I asked ICICI bank about this they plainly said that there is no downward revision in the rates. When I showed a TOI article about this rate cut for new customers this is what they wrote me

1. We would like to inform you that, you can decrease your Home Loan rate of interest by paying the conversion charges.
2. Process to convert from Floating to Floating Rate of Interest:

You can convert your Rate of Interest from Floating Rate to Floating rate of interest..

What we are offering to you is the additional benefit, where you can reduce your rate of interest Floating to Floating.

According to the confirmation from the department concerned, regarding the conversion of Rate of Interest, the applicable fee is Rs.0.5% on the outstanding principal plus a service tax of 12.36% on the same.

However the Conversion Charges are subject to the changes according to the Bank's discretion.

So now to avail the benefit of a lower interest rate I now have to pay a conversion charge where as this should have been my right under floating rate. Please check the following websites where people like me have expressed similar frustration.

Hi,

Dont use the ICICI credit card .

On reaching USA, I made a phone call from USA to India using phone1 telecom dial service for one minute using my ICICI bank credit card. Phone1 has the head quaters at "100 North Biscayne Bouleward Suite 1200, Miami Florida 33132, [protected]@phone1.com. This a fraud company.They charge 100 dollars to my ICICI bank credit card for a one minute call to india.

I called the ICICI credit card, india branch to cancel the amount credited to my card . They asked to log a complaint at their website. I logged a complain on ICICI bank website. They closed the call saying that they couldnot reach me over the USA phone number which I had provided. So I called them up and asked what information they wanted. They said that they dont know which information that ICICI fello who closed the call want over the phone . Repeated the same thing. You should log a complain in the website and provide an Indian telephone number to which they will call and then make a decision whether or not to close the call or not.

Now I am in USA . When I call them over the telephone they dont help me out. I can give any information that they want. But NO. They have to call me on my telephone number. They cannot call me at an international number. How can I come to India to attend their call.

I just wanted them to cancel the transaction and put it on dispute. They didnt do that. I lost the money because some faud telephone company misused my credit card and ICICI bank disnt take any action.

ICICI bank credit card.

Dear Sir,
This is in with reference to your Control No.[protected], I have had no outstanding on my ICICI Bank credit card against which your record shows an outstanding of Rs. 7210/- as on 31.10.2006 against card no [protected] of ICICI.

When I approached to ICICI bank with all my paid card statements, they were confirming that I have no previous balance to pay on this card. Then I requested them to get the records updated in CIBIL and clean my report but still no step has been taken from their side.

Now I request you to please updated my report in your records
