The mail sent to the bank by my daughter gives the complete picture as to how banks cheat gullible customers.in spite of follow-ups locally, nothing has happened so far. The bank merrily collects emis even for the money they did not disburse as per their own commitment. The mail replies say that this matter has to be resolved locally... It is almost a year but the looting continues for many loanees like us in the same way...
I, niyati reddy bommu, am working deloitte, india. Around 11 months ago, i applied for a vehicle loan to buy kwid, automatic. On dec31st, 2016, i received a letter (Lan — lahyd[protected]) from icici informing that an amount of rs.4, 42, 210/- has been approved as the principal amount of the facility and the emi for this amount would be rs.9, 321/- for 60 months at 9.65% interest. The emi recovery would be auto-debit mode since my salary account is in icici — a/c no.[protected]
when we (My father & self) went to pay the balance amount to the car dealer-sri - sri sri auto cars (I), pvt ltd, to our surprise, the dealer received an amount of rs4, 37, 872/- only from icici as against the approved and communicated amount of rs.4, 42, 210/- the difference was rs.4, 338/- between what was sanctioned and what was released to the dealer. We paid the balance on road price and took possession of the vehicle on 12th, jan.
later, when my father enquired with bank officials, they said it has been the bank s practice with vehicle loan customers to deduct stamp duty etc from the overall sanctioned amount. This is highly objectionable and unjustified and illegal too. This fact was not given in the written t&cs and we are not aware of such dubious practice of duping innocent customers. What you are doing is simply collecting a portion of sanctioned principal amount which was not disbursed in the first place to the loanee but collecting interest too for 60 months for the amount the bank has not disbursed, to begin with. When my father sent a mail to the bank s customer care about this with a request to undo the wrong for all the victims, the bank replied that... Confidential information will be divulged only to the applicant/co-applicant! Trust me, to date i could not understand the secrecy/confidential portion in my father s request in spite of he being an icici account holder for the past 15 years.
we request you to correct this anomaly for all customers immediately and restore justice and confidence on india s largest private bank. Please do kindly remember, no one objects for the bank to collect a onetime stamp duty etc with prior verbal and printed intimation (Since the t&cs require a 2x magnifying glass to read) but definitely not from the originally sanctioned amount.
