This complaint is in regards 5177 XXXX XXXX 0009, sorry can't mention all the digits. The bank denies to send any statements from the day the card has been taken ..As a mater of fact the card was utlised for less than 2 year having a limit of 25, 000 only . Even after making regular payments during for the period of nearly 1 year and 4 months, I found to my surprise the 47, 040.71. which is unbeleivable . In the case of the HDFC, Since RBI interevened the final settlement was done 9700.
The statemnt of HDFC also showed an amount of 36, 000 as outstanding dues. After they sent me all the statements for 2 years, I found that payments made were 25, 000 /- and hence as per RBI, the final settlement amount was decided as 9700/- in 2 installments

Dear Sir,

I have been experiencing very poor service from ICICI bank, Nanganallur Branch Chennai 600061. It is well known that ICICI bank is anti customer in letter and spirit. The branch here at Nanganallur at chennai 600061 should be given the highest award for poorest possible service.

I had a very strange experience with this branch recently. I hold a savings bank account with ICICI Bank, Nanganallur Branch for the last 8 years. My Account number ends with the digits 3475. I also hold a savings bank account with KVB Nanganallur Branch. The last four digits of my Account number are 8132,

In order o transfer Rs 30000 from my KVB Account to my ICICI Bank Account, on 11th November 2008, I deposited a cheque for Rupees 30000 drawn on Karur Vysya Bank Nanganallur Branch ( Cheque Number 887192 Dated[protected] in the drop Box Located at ICICI Bank Nanganallur.
The latter claimed Rs 964 for this from KVB. When I checked my Account balance with KVB, I found a debit entry for Rupees 964. However when I checked my Account statement on line with ICICI bank I could not find a credit entry at all.

I am Just wondering what re sort of people are working with so called great ICICI Bank. Is it a bank or a gambling Den. Please let me know what I should do.

Two Banks, KVB and ICICI Bank located within 1 Kilometer distance are unable to transfer an amount from Accounts held by the same person. Should I communicate this predicament to the whole.World.

And What IBA is doing to help Customers like me?

A cheque was deposited in ICICI Bank Green Park, New Delhi Branch on 31st October, 2008 on my name. The person who deposited the cheque missed writing account number on the slip used to fill in the details of the cheque and dropped the same into the drop box.

Subsequently, the cheque was put on hold until I called up customer care on 05th November 2008. It was conveyed by customer representative that an application needs to be submitted to any branch of ICICI across India with correct account number. The application was deposited in Tardeo Branch in Mumbai to Officer Rajni along with all the details on 07 November.

While Officer Rajni confirmed that the same will be processed in 2 working days, it was until next 4 days that i realized that the cheque was not processed and still on hold.Subsequently, i visited Tardeo Branch of ICICI bank in Mumbai on 8th November, 11th November and the same was never processed.

It was until 13th November when i logged a complaint against Officer Rajni and Tardeo Branch and visited the branch for the fourth time on 14th November, 2008, the delay on the cheque was followed up and it was told to me by officer that Delhi RPC Head is not processing the cheque and due the compliane logged, now they are following up tightly with Delhi RPC. It was assured that the cheque would be cleared in next two woking days which end on Saturday 15th November and credited to my account but until today 16th November End of the Day, the cheque is not cleared and is still held with the branch.

I feel humiliated since i just have 40 rs in my pocket for my weekend and to reach my office in Mumbai (where i am deputed on a project).

I am Neeraj Beniwal cerdit card no.[protected], In sept’08 month I got my credit card statement and some amount was due. It was a valid statement and I did the payment via a local bank cheque before due date in sept08 thru Citi Bank in favour of my ICICI bank credit card according to the instructions given in the credit card statement. I dropped that cheque in ATM drop box. But due to some reason cheque was cleared &they did not inform me. Next statement, they have charged me late fee. In credit card statement they have mentioned cheque was not cleared due to some problem.
Then I have asked them, if you have not informed me on time, why I should pay late fee charges. After that I got call from ICICI Customer & they have assured me .they will wave off my late fee charges. But when went to Rohini office of ICICI Bank, they have refused me & I told them very clearly, if they will not reimburse these charges. I will not pay my outstanding amount to ICICI & still the charges not withdrawal & again they have charged me late fee for the last month.
When made payment before due date they have to informed, if there is any problem & I have not received my cheque & I don’t the exact reason of that. It is totally harassment by ICICI credit card system. System are not made for users only, banks should also follow & keep informed to their customer, not to wait to put extra charges to users.

I want solution of this otherwise; I will not pay my outstanding amount to ICICI.Now it is upto ICICI how much they want to delay settlement of these extra charges of payment.

Sub.: Harassment by your bank regarding Credit Card No. [protected].
Ref 1: Your letter 101108/325923C dtd, 13th Oct 2008(Attached with this mail)
Ref.2: Your letter 101108/336771C dtd. 6th Nov 2008 (Attached with this mail)

Dear Customer Care Executive,

1) I have credit card no.[protected], Expiry Dt.10/2009.
2) In the first week of October, 2008 an ICICI bank personnel reached my residence and wanted to speak to me regarding Credit Card transaction done by me. As I was not at home but at office he spoke to me on my mobile in presence of my wife. I explained to him that there was no such transaction done by me or any member of my family. The personnel from your bank was satisfied with my answer and said he will inform the bank accordingly. I took the matter closed.

3) I went to withdraw cash from ATM around the mid of October and to my surprise I found out that Rs 3550/-has been deducted from my account. On reaching home I received a courier from your bank as Ref 1 as mentioned above. This mentioned a credit card no [protected], which I did not have, mentioned an incorrect (bogus) mobile no. as mine, mentioned incorrect Delhi pincode against my address. The letter mentioned a complaint no. which I had not done, however I assumed that as mentioned in point no. 1 above, the personnel from ICICI had lodged the complaint on my behalf.

4) I went to the Green Park Branch of ICICI to find out what was happening. I was informed that this was deducted on account of my credit card no. [protected] based on some transaction. I was shocked as I had not done any transaction with this card. Also to be noted that the letter (Ref 1) mentioned a different card no. I was advised by bank personnel to talk to a customer care executive.

5) I spoke to customer care executive through phone to ask regarding the same, reiterating that there was some mistake by the bank, and I was informed that the credit card department of ICICI had dispatched a new card for me which had the no. [protected]. I was very surprised as never had any such card reached me. On being asked why new card was sent when I had not asked for the same. there was no satisfactory answer After I explained to him the reality the executive said that if that was the case they are checking the same and by 45 days the issue would be resolved and informed to me and I had nothing to worry.

6) Yesterday I am in receipt of another letter as Ref.2. In this you have mentioned that card on your investigations you have concluded that the transaction has been done on my credit card and that I am surprised to be making the payment of the same.





7) For your kind information I am reiterating once again that never have I ever requested for any new credit card not has any new card been ever sent to me. I am externally perturbed with the information and am surprised how such an esteemed bank like ICICI can make such a mistake.

This is affecting my work in office.

8) Most importantly, I cannot agree to make payment for transaction which has not done by me, you are requested to immediately get the amount of Rs. 3550 credited to my account and to not harass me any more and solve the error at your end.



Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

I am paying through Citi bank towards monthly instalment.
Citi bank claims the cheque was presented on 17th Jan 2004 and the same was cleared with in 24 hours. ICICI bank claims the cheque were presented on 1st of the month and clearance happend on 17th Jan 2004.Late payment charges amounts to 800 Rs for three months (jan, feb, and Mar 2004).

I need your intervention in this matter, pl help.

Hi,
I had a ICICI bank credit card with one add on card (on my mother’s name) since 2005.
I never used the add on card in life & remember destroying it.

Today I am surprise to see a fraud transaction from this add on card. This online transaction took place for Indian Railways Catering on 11/11/2008 15:11 46.

IRCTC transaction No. is 75176378317005991991289

Please advise me, what I should do?

Dear sir,
I had purchased a flat from a lady, the said flat is situated in a new consructed building, the builder has not yet transfered the flat to the lady as they are asking more transfer fee as compared to previous charge.
I had applied with ICICI Bank for housing loan of Rs. 14, 00, 000/- in the year February 2007. which was sancationed to Rs. 14, 42, 000/-, the said loan was disbursed in March 2007 in 3 part, 1)Rs. 42000/- to ICICI Lombard Gen. Ins, 2) Rs. 7, 00, 000/- to GIC Finance Ltd and 3) Rs. 7, 00, 000/- to Mrs. Shobha Pasupuletti. the 3rd cheque of Rs. 7lakhs is not yet been issued to me and is still lying at the lower parel branch of ICICI Bank.
since the seller as not yet got the flat transfered, Builder has not issued the NOC. From past 19months i have been paying the my EMI's of above flat as per loan of Rs. 14, 42, 000/-.
For past 2months i have been requesting the bank to look in to the matter and adjust my interest part of loan as per the encashed amount of Rs. 742000/-, and I had committed as soon as i receive the required documents from the seller i would submit it to the bank.
But the bank officials are not ready to accept my views, and are misguiding me.

Several times over the last several months, I am receiving the ICICI Credit card bill, anytime after the due date. For example, I received the bill today(12/11/08) by courier, whereas the due date is the 5th of November 2008. However, the envelope shows a priority stamp dated 24th of October 2008. Due to this late payment charges become payable. Second example for which we did pay the late payment of Rs.400+Service tax of Rs.49.44+Interest charges of Rs.32.22+Service tax of Rs.4.00 thereon. I suspect that this cannot be an odd case of a genuine error, but there seems to be a deliberate attempt to see that the customer gets the bill beyond the due date so that you can make money by doing nothing. This is a highly unacceptable situation which you should correct by crediting my account of all the money's thus unfairly collected. If this is not done immediately I will be constrained to lodge a formal complaint at teh consumer court. Incidentally I have been trying to contact your callcentre number, but to no avail.

I have been writing to ICICI Bank-Customer Care several times and also personally visited the Koramangala Branch several times. I personally met Nisha Thomas and others in the branch who are 'so called' customer care people. I also wrote to Sumit Saurabh who i think is regional manager for Bangalore, but no one seems to be botherd. ICICI bank claims to be highly customer friendly in the media with television & big newspaper adds. Is there some one responsible enough at least to revert to the customers ??

Loan Reference: LPVPI [protected]

I have taken above mentioned personal Loan from ICICI Bank which i want to foreclose. During meeting with ICICI Vapi branch, i was told to produce 3 mths bank statement from where the cheques were getting cleared. My objection is Why customer will submit its bank statement to ICICI for confirmation of cheque clearance. Our bank statement also consist lot of other transaction which we do not want to disclose to ICICI Bank. Moreover money from our account is getting credit in ICICI Bank account which must be confirmed BY ICICI Bank only. Just because ICICI do not want to put effort to confirm from own system, customers are being harassed by asking such statements. Even after paying substantial amount Rs.7712=00 as a Pre-closure charges I don’t want to spend further for getting bank statement from my bank.

Foreclosure charges charged by ICICI Bank is around 5.6% which is also very high. Still poor customer have to pay becuase we need to clear our account.

Kindly help in above.

WIth Thanks
