I applied for a ICICI Ruby's card vide application no W[protected]
and submitted all relevant documents along with the application i.e., bank statement, current credit cards statements for two months for two different cards, pan card, Aadhar card, photos, ITR for 2-3 years.
After waiting for 15 days I called them to enquire about the status they informed me that because I have not submitted the salary slips they are keeping the application on hold. I clearly mentioned in my application that I am a self employed individual. For that they told give us some time we will check from our back end team after few days they informed that they are declining the card application on some other parameters. When I asked them to state the parameter on which they are declining they told they can not clarify as its against there banks policy. When I insisted the person who was attending the call informed me that CIBIL is not up to the mark. When I raised this issue with the higher management they told that no it’s a wrong info provided by the team the reason is something else. So I repeatedly insisted on the exact reason, which they mentioned " In your case, your existing financial commitments are not meeting our requirements." When I asked them to further elaborate the fine lines they informed me, "We would like to clarify that, on the basis of the details provided by you, Bank assesses the applicant on various parameters viz.. income, credit behavior, the nature of the applicant’s employment, repayment track record on any previous loans availed, etc.
We understand that that your existing financial commitments are higher that the required parameter set by the Bank. Hence, we regret our inability to process your application for credit card."
On my further query they informed me "We have investigated your concern and would like to state as below:
As per the CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau of India Ltd.) details, we understand that you are already holding 15 credit cards
As communicated to you in our previous e-mails, your existing financial commitments are high i.e. your fixed obligation against the income is higher than the limit set by the Bank.
In view of the above, we once again regret our inability to process to your application for credit card. We would like to inform you that the Bank is in the business of loans with a clear retail perspective. The outcome of the application process depends on the information provided by the customer vis-a-vis the findings made by the Bank to fulfill the eligibility criteria. Please note that our inability to sanction a loan to you does not imply any adverse comment on your credit worthiness."
All the above allegations are wrong and I can produce proof for each and every allegation which they are rendering against me.
I just have 4 credit cards and there is not single default till date I just have one car loan of 11312/- per month and there is not a single month delayed repayment. I don’t have any other loan nor I have done any fraud of any short in any of the banks across country I am ready to face any enquiry.
If my standing does not match there parameters how come they are keeping S/B account from me and my wife how they are taking FD's from us. How they are issuing life insurance and health insurance and car insurance to me.
I need justice they cannot defame me like this for mere credit card. They have to show me the details of my defaults and my 15 credit cards records. Else i will be bound to file criminal case against them.
I have all the mails with me, which I have written to them and received from them in reply.
