Dear Ms. Chanda Kochhar,
Madam, Its with immense pain and regret that I am writing this complaint letter to you. I am not even sure you are ever going to read it because in our country there is no system where a simple person (without pulls or jacks) can raise his or her voice against a wrong done and hope to be listened to.
Anyways the complaint is regarding a policy that i had taken for my daughter in 2009.(details mentioned at the end) I was told by the representative of the bank Mr. Vipin(mob no...................) that it was the best investment I could make for my child. The policy required me to make an bi-annual premium of Rs. 50000 (total Rs. 1 lac for one year).I was told that the policy could be surrendered after 3 years if i needed to do that and i was ensured that I would be getting more than what i had paid till then because there was no way that this policy would ever give me loss.
He never told me where my money was being invested, what kind of market risks were involved etc which could even leave me with a loss.I was naive to trust him and went ahead with the policy as me and my whole family have our accounts in ICICI bank for the last more than 10 years.In fact our company has its major accounts with ICICI bank only. With that kin d of trust and faith, i put my hard earned money into the policy.
Unfortunately after paying 3 installments, i was not able to pay the remainder installments. There were some personal problems and I did not have enough earning to pay the lumpsome amount.I requested the agent to help m e to break up the annual premium into monthly installments so that i could manage but he insisted that it could not be done.
With absolutely no help from the bank, i finally decided to surrender the policy and get a refund. I went to the Sector 29 office of ICICI life insurance in July and inquired about the procedure to surrender and get a refund.I was very curtly told by the person sitting on the customer service desk that if I wanted my money back and surrender the policy, I would be required to pay another Rs. 1.5 lacs as part of the remainder premiums for one and a half year and then only I could get my money back after deductions which amounted to Rs. 30000.
Unfortunately I met with an accident while driving a few days after that meeting and was advised bed rest by my doctor as i was in my eight month of pregnancy.I was helpless as I was personally required to go the bank to sign the surrender documents. I called the agent also and he assured me that there was no problem and i could go after i felt ok and i would be given my dues after the deductions.
Now today i.e 24.08.2012, when i again went to the office at sector 29 to do the formalities, i was told that now the policy has been closed and all i would get back is Rs 36000 out of the Rs. 1.5 lacs that i have paid 3 years back. To my utter shock, the guys that were sitting there behaved like they were doing some kind of a heavenly gesture by even handing out this Rs. 36000.They also said that now I needed to pay Rs. 2.5 lacs more and leave it with the bank for another year before i could surrender the policy. When i refused to oblige and demanded that i wanted my money back, I was told to go complaint wherever i felt like.

An elderly couple in their late 60's was sitting next to me fighting over a similar issue where they or their daughter had made a loss of Rs. 4lacs after investing almost 20 lacs in the last 4 years with an ICICI policy.

Madam,
we are simple people and one and a half rupees means a lot to us. i have been out of work for m ore than a year now and my husband is a service class person.I am in my last stage of pregnancy and required this money to help me with the forthcoming expenses. If I could pay Rs. 2.5 lacs now, I don't think i would require to surrender this policy in the first place.I feel cheated and duped and all of a sudden ICICI no longer sounds a trustworthy name to me.because it was not just me today at the bank. There were 3 customers who had similar complaints and were there to surrender their policies.
I am pained beyond words and with immense grief in my heart, I request you to show some relief towards my case. All i am asking is a refund of Rs. 1.5 lacs that i have earlier deposited.i will bear the loss of Rs. 30000 as charges towards surrendering the policy considering that I am in urgent need of money. But there is no way i am a position to pay Rs 2.5 lacs for another year.
I very humbly request you to consider this case sympathetically and help me.You would indeed be doing much to instill faith and trust of a generation in our system which is marred by corruption and in justice in all fields.

It is with immense hope that i am writing this letter to you. I am sure that you will be sympathetic to my case and set an example by doing justice.regards, Anupam Joon. policy no. 11280649, Smartkid, New Unit linked plan.

I have taken a home loan from ICICIBANK HOME FINANCE LTD in the year 2001 for a property situated in Asansol & when I was an employee of Durgapur Steel Plant under SAIL.
The loan detail is as follows
1.LOAN ACCOUNT NO-LHASL[protected]
2.PROPERTY SITUATED ON- RS PLOT NO-2012,KHAITAN NO-756, MOUZA SANTA AT VIDYASAGAR SARANI, ASANSOL
3.TOTAL LOAN DISBURSED-10,000,00.00 ( TEN LAKHS ONLY )
4.LOAN APPLICATION FORM NO-509149
5.INITIAL LOAN TENURE-121 MONTHS

Since I have already paid a considerable amount ( rs 3,26,000.00 outstanding as on January 17,2012 ) & since i have already retired & unable to continue the loan I wanted to foreclose the loan .In the fore closure statement they wanted a claim amount of 4,11,000.00 ( considering late payment fees, cheque bouncing charge & prepayment charge.

I am unable to pay any more amount other than the principle amount ( other charges they levied are baseless & therefore unaccepted by me ) outstanding considering my my financial stringency & huge interest pay out throughout the loan tenure.
I am ready to pay the principle outstanding immediately .
This is to be taken up with the bank authority & settle the case immediately. I have already taken up the matter with The bank & i am ready to pay Rs 3,54,234.00 as per their claim without late payment penalty & prepayment charge.

I am based in New Zealand and I wanted to install iMobile application in my iPad,as a one time fix to avoid frequent frustrating OTP requests for online banking.

I called customer care (mind you its an international call) twice ending up hearing "the office hours for iMobile team is 9 AM - 5 PM)" and "The system is down. Call us after half an hour" respectively.

Finally today I got hold of a customer representative from iMobile stating that it is not possible to access from my iPad since i don't have access to Indian number. If i want to change my mobile number (to any of my family member), I was suggested to courier (International courier) the required document without any explanation about the process.

The situation is I cannot access my own account due to poorly planned security measures by ICICI. I have already verified my account details through call to contact customer executive.

The customer service is very mechanical and makes no sense to solve the problem. They stick to some procedures which doesn't fit with practical scenarios (Similar to certain Government offices).

If someone reading this is an NRI / anyone planning to go overseas,better avoid ICICI.

This happened fewdays back .I am existing unsatisfied ICICI customer and I had been to Kormangala ICIC home finance branch near Forum mall for topping up my home loan as I wanted an money for some emergency situation.I was waiting for my turn and it took 20 min and I met Mr Mahesh gentleman who after going through my details informed me that I am eligible and told me to wait for some time. I was waiting and after some time he told me that person related to top up is go to meet some customer and will come after some time. I said I will wait he told that he will take 1 hr so he will send this guy to my home to collect my documents in the evening on Friday.I said fine and came home thing that rep will call me so i kept all my documents ready and waiting for him .I asked Mr gentle men to share the contact details of the person he did not share. I was waiting for guy to turn up, Friday had passed ,Saturday had passed..Sunday had passed,Monday had Passed ,Tuesday morning i got the number and tried reaching the gentle man and he told that he has given the Representative my number and was supposed to call me on friday..I told him that he did not call till tuesday. he told he will arrange a call another 10 min . I did not rec any call.i tried 3 more time in an interval and then i got call from a lazy guy and he told me that he will come and pick up the documents at 5 :30 i said fine and got all the documents ready and was waiting till 5:30 i called at 5:45 and asked him what time he will come he told 6:30.I said ok.I then waited till 6:50 pm then I called him at 6:50 pm and asked him what time he will coming he told at 7 15 Pm when i tried to reach him at 7:30 he started to disconnect my call and never picked up...I had to sea off my cousin who had a flight to catch at 9 PM for which I couldn't make it because of this crap ICICI guy who ruined my entire day.I was really depressed & hurt these guys are not even professional or has the capability to serve the customers and hired as ICICI front sales..

ICICI management plans to bring in ICICI bank in Number 1 position and I guarantee you that having these kind of people you will never achieve this..

I am sure this complaint will not impact ICICI much but would help some consumers like me who can think twice before doing any banking with ICICI bank.

Dear Sir/mam,

I had taken credit card having no. 9401****************[protected] in year 2005 and one free supplementary card but on same account. I used it for 2 years and plus smoothly without any delay in pay,end and penalty. Suddenly I had fly to Africa due to change of my job assignment. I have called icici bank many a times to close the card. But no one responded finally I went to their new panel branch. But here also I was told to go to vashi and close. But due to time limitation I could not do so. Finally I could not closed the account.
After two years I realized that the my small outstanding amount reach to 18, 000 rs. Before I do anything, bank has deducted the same amount from my nri bank account, my nri account was also in the same bank.
Similarly on my supplementary card the bill reached to rs. 35000 approx. and they did the same. Deducted from my nri account.

When I reached India, I started getting call for more payment. I don't know why. So approached to panel bank, they told me to go to vashi. So I did all. When I reached vashi office, I was told that no one call you now onwards and card will automatically closed.

So I relaxed and come back. Now again today, I received credit card statement. I am very disappointed With the service of icici. I don't know how to get ride of this issue. I am not able to go back to India only to closed this card.

It's pure case of cheating and fraud.

Subject: ICICI Bank Credit card complaint - Incorrect Recovery and harassment
To: [protected]@icicibank.com
Date: Saturday, 18 August, 2012, 12:21 PM

This is to inform you that I have been receiving calls from Some Mr Narender ( [protected])from ICICI bank regarding Recovery of some credit card payment that i have made in the year 2006. The total amount is Rs 15000/- as per him.

I told him that I don't have ICICI bank credit card and there is no outstanding payments.

I asked him to give me details regarding the Outstanding amount but he failed to do so. I also gave him my email address. but he tells me that he will not be giving me any details. I should have received the statements online.

He is also using abusive language on the phone.he is also threatening me with consequences. I told him that i will record the statement and will complaint to the police.

He is also calling 3 -4 of my friends and threatening them and harassing them.

This harassment is unnecessary and uncalled for.

First give me all the details and than we can have a dialogue. if there is a payment due on me than i will make the payment , but for that i need the statement and details.

I will go to police and launch a FIR today if I receive any threat or he misbhaves with any of my friends and family.

My number is [protected]. Give me a call or email me.

respected sir,

i am from ahmedabad. i have query regarding Fix deposit putting in bank. i did FD in ICICI bank in 2010 june at 7.75%interest rate. now as all bank gives 9.25% interest rate i want to prematurly close my FD & put it again. but bank will give me only interest as per 6% PM. so what can i do for it?

My Credit Card has expired on Feb 2012, my utility bill payment of my idea post paid card has been stopped with immediate effect. I had applied for ICICI Lombard General Insurance, ICICI Personal Protect Policy, but since i did not receive any policy details from the company, i had instructed to stop the policy and any payment with regards to the same. As the card has been expired i cannot use it for any transaction, but strangely the card has been active with regards to payment to be made to ICICI Lombard General Insurance.

On my last payment made on 17/07/2012 354562 CHEQUE PAYMENT RECEIVED,THANK YOU. C 0 Rs. 3,139.00, whereas i was informed that this was my last payment on phone. I am surprised to see that the company is still keeping the card active for their personal use.

One more issue is that i have not been receiving any Credit Card Bills till date

Awaiting your kind suggestion.
