ICICI Lombard Complaints & Reviews

My car chevrolet - spark whose ex-showroom worth is 2,67,000 - had an accident and the damage reported was close to 100% - So, the company instead of issuing us the cheque worth Rs - 2,50,000 after some salvage deduction got the car repaired at their workshop in Jaipur (Triumph motors) at Sitapura industrial area. We had a person visit at our house who stated that file has been transferred to Delhi and he has been taking care of the case and assured us that it has been considered as a full claim - Later on following up with them - the company states that the person is blacklisted and our car has been put to repair and now the company is asking us to pay 69,000 to get this claim settled..

The company has no control over the issue - and the whole settlement is on the discretion of the surveyor, who is involved with the triumph workshop guy - and they are putting in the old damaged cars parts to get your car up and running - which has no guarantee to run for even 100 miles.

My concern is from what possible it was justifiable to get a 100% damanged car repaired - which is of no worth for us now.

my contact no is [protected]

I have renewed an insurance policy for Honda Activa vehicle over Web on 30-August-2009. An email received from the ICICI Lombard regarding the same but the insurance policy has been issued in the name of different person. Vehicle is owned by by my wife since it's registration last year.

I have registered ths issue with ICICI Lombard customer care over phone as well as over email I was notified that the the corrected policy has been sent by courier after a lot of follow up. The policy has not been received till now. Probably it has gone to the address of the wrong person.

Am stil writting to the company but lost hopes now.

Dear ICICI Gentlemen & Ladies,

PLEASE HELP & STOP THIS FRAUD!!!

Please for God's sake send me my money back or send me the policy. This is my hard earned money and you people have no right to do things like this. You executives, managers, escalation points are simply of no-use as they don't take any action against such issues. I am repeating again that I was cheated by your officials. This has happened because of the intention of cheating the public on the part of your executives and to sell more motor insurance policies. If I don’t get immediate action on the said problem, I will have to take stern legal as well as criminal action against your company. The executive who sold me the policy was Pooja and her number was [protected], who is now not ready to pick up my cell and answer me properly as now the policy has been sold. Is this the kind of customer relations and support you maintain with your prime customers?

I'm really concerned the way you operate in your business. I've not received my Car Insurance Policy (new) with a Car Vacuum Cleaner till date despite I've made the payment on 28 Aug'09. The executive promised me to give Car Vacuum cleaner with the policy, which is also not received.

I've received multiple complaint numbers through SMS & E-mail, but till date my policy is not dispatched to my home. I'm not sure which one is valid request / complaint number.

E-mail Request numbers: ICICILom=[protected], ICICILom=[protected], ICICILom=[protected]

Interaction ID sent in SMS on 14 Sept 2009: [protected], [protected], [protected]

Interaction ID sent in SMS on 27 Sept 2009 (by Executive Hevanthi):[protected] The executive said that she doesn't have any detail of the cover note and payment with her, and she will now (on 27 Sept 2009) request the policy to be dispatched to my home address. More-so she was not having any details of the promised Car Vacuum Cleaner which is clearly mentioned on my cover note.

I hope you will take this e-mail positively and throw out all such executives from their jobs. My intention here is to bring to your notice what all frauds are happening and that your customers should get justice. Also a suggestion here is to kindly publish the CEO's and Directors email id's in public communication tools like news papers, magazine, etc. so that we can directly contact them and male them aware of what all is happening in your company.

Kindly reply me with my total refund and apology letter ASAP.

Thanks & Regards,

Harish Chauhan

Complaint against executive for false / wrong information for Car Insurance Policy





Dear ICICI Lombard Executive,

Subject: Complaint against executive for false / wrong information for Car Insurance Policy

This is Harish Chauhan from New Delhi. I got a call from your executive in Delhi, her name was Pooja and she said she is calling me from ICICI Lombard Cannaught Place Office, the number from which she called me is [protected]. In effect to that, I agreed to enroll my Car insurance Policy with ICICI Lombard and asked your sales executive to visit me. Your sales executive was not aware of any online mode of payment thru my credit card. As a result of which I had to visit your branch in Pitam Pura (New Delhi) and make a payment of Rs.9822 on 28 Aug 2009 and got a cover note "8589083".

I done the payment thru my credit card (ICICI Bank).

Its been more than one month, I have not received my Policy Document where-as your executive (Pooja) was telling me that you will receive the document in 3 to 5 days time. Its me who's calling them again and again for update of my policy document.

Here is a list of your working staff members and problem in them and their behavior:

1. Pooja ([protected]) Calling executive: She never picked up my call on the number she gave me and told me that policy will come to my address in 3 days time after paying the money.
2. Akhil Jain ([protected]) Pooja's manager: He never picked up the call (called him 6 times continuously), and not at all responsible for his job.
3. Teerath ([protected]) Branch Manager: Cannot even speak in English, when I asked him to speak in engligh with me, then he gave my phone to one of the lady there to talk to me. What kind of workof ICICI Lombard has !!!
4. Sangeeta Kapoor ([protected]) Executive: She also said she will call me with half-an-hour to update me with my status of policy, but never had any courtesy to call me and update me.
5. Munir & Acharya (Call center executives: on the Tool free number): Absolutely no-sense to talk to customer, denied point-blank on my face to generate a reference ticket number for this problem.

Your executives don't even have the courtesy to update the customer about the possible delay and the right number of days it will take to deliver the policy. If your prerogative is only to make customers a fool, than I would suggest please remove name "ICICI" from your name. The name "ICICI" is a big brand and it does impact the over all brand of the bank. I'm surprised with the team you have in ICICI Lombard, with this attitude and work style I'm sure the bottom-line performance of the company will soon get impacted. In today's scenario where-in word of mouth is so easy to traverse across the world, I would advise all my friends and colleagues in office not to go for ICICI Lombard policies. I'll suggest all my acquaintance, relatives, friends, colleagues, not to ever assign any ICICI Lombard policy.

I really disturbed the way you have treated me and immediately need an escalation for all the personnel responsible for this !!

Thanks & Regards,

Harish Chauhan

My online transaction failed when tried to pay the renewal amount for my 2 wheeler insurance. However I have received my ICICI Lombard two wheeler insurance renewal document the same day thru email which is actually valid document.

I had immediately called the customer care (2 times) and informed the above issue. But I got two different replies saying the policy is not renewed and is renewed respectively. Then I had sent an email to the Customer care describing the issue. It took them 14 days to say that my online policy is not renewed.

My worry is an established bank did not even have a courtesy to call me regarding this issue. Also in their reply to my email they had not even apologized, rather they are challenging me to prove the transaction with my bank statement when I had not even argued with them that the renewal is valid.

Dear Sir,

My car Maruti Alto, with following details, is insured with your company under Maruti Insurance since 31 st Dec, 2008:

Owner Name : A C Papneja
Vehicle No. UP-11V-5581
Policy No. MAR10066775

Unfortunately, my said vehicle met with a severe accident on 21 st June 2009 at Chandigarh. In the accident myself, my driver and my wife sustained grievous injuries and were admitted to GMCH, Sector-32, Chandigarh . I informed the Maruti authorised dealer Modern Automobiles, Chandigarh who picked up the accidented vehicle with the help of cranerecovery vehicle. After that the dealer submitted the estimates to your insurance company i.e. ICICI Lombard. My claim file no. is CL/MAR10066775/493634, which is also provided by Mr. Kavi Nayal of Modern Automobiles, Chandigarh . After that I have not heard anything from Maruti or ICICI Lombard. Then I myself had to approach to your dealer and ICICI Lombard and they did not give me any helping hand. Instead of helping me in this crucial time they harrased me and one of the surveyor i.e. Mr. Avinash Jha, ICICI Lombard said that why you brought your vehicle to Modern Automobiles and many more things. Then I contacted Claims Deptt. Of ICICI and had a talk with Mr. Damanjeet Singh who sits in Chandigarh office. But he also did not give me satisfactory reply and instead of helping me they send a letter by courier on 21 st of July 2009 stating that we are not settling the matter and that we have to bear the charges if any arised due to parking of vehicle. I also make clear to you people that I will not bear any charges due to non-settlement of case, as your people did not want to close the matter.
I and my wife are suffering from physical strains due to this accident and now are being mentally harassed by ICICI Lombard people.
Please look into the matter and do the needful.

Thanks and kind regards,

Dear Sir,

I attended an interview with ICICI LOMBARD GIC LTD, and I cleared all the rounds. Intially they offered me some other profile but now when I have finished my training and was about to begin my work with the new employer I am shocked. They are offering me some other junior profile. The profile what they mailed me initially says that I will be handling bancassurance and retail channel with a team of junior managers and sales officers. Based on the profile I attended the interview and I cleared all the rounds.Now they are telling me to join a profile where I have to get business through agents(people who work on commission basis). I tried a lot to solve the problem, I spoke with the HR and the management on the issue but they are not at all listening to me.

Now you tell me what am I supposed to do???

Deeapak

I bought a mediclaim poilicy from ICICI lombard in which I can get a OPD claim for Rs 7000.It has been 40-45 days noe and nothing has happened with my claim.When I talk to ICICI lombard guys they tell me to contact the third party number provided.The third party guys does not entertain my call and most of the time they disconnect it.When I talk to ICICI Lombard guys regarding this they say that they will call me back but they never do so.Initially they gave me a period of 21 days but it is now more than a month and a half.

The marketing people market the product with structured explanation. Then the verification department followed up with some declaration, which had some controversy, having kept in hold of the verification to re-clarify the doubts on the same.The marketing people kept annoying as to spare only 2 minutes for verification, for which I said to postpone another day. That aroused those people to force me to this very day and I started listing the complaints that I read in this website for which they couldn't answer and started interrupting and rough voices came with vulgar words.
This was weird to me and made me to think this one as not even fit to be a marketing company and induced me to log this complaint on the sales people to humble themselves when selling their product. I further wish to suggest them to recruit better resources.

Sir/Madam,

I am writing this to complain about my frustrating experience with “ICICI LOMBARD”.
Reference is made to my "ICICI LOMBARD" health insurance policy bearing No. 4034/FPS/02375300/00/000. This policy described above was sold to me (by the virtue of holding ICICI credit card) on 07/07/2007 through a tele sales executive and was briefed about the yearly premium, extent of claims and the only exclusions (dental & cosmetic surgery) for which the expenses would not be reimbursed. Going by the reputation of ICICI, I had decided to purchase myself an insurance cover and the payment for the same was promptly collected by ICICI from my credit card.

At no point of time had ICICI provided me with the terms and conditions/ contract/ exclusions list and neither did I ever happen to sign any document acknowledging the understanding of the terms and conditions.

After more than 20 months of purchasing the insurance cover, unfortunately I was diagonised for kidney stones by “Chinmaya Mission Hospital” Bangalore and was suggested by Dr. Ninan Thomas for a surgery as it was inevitable and most needed. Reacting to the Doctor's advice, I had contacted ICICI on xx/xx/2009 to accord their approval for the surgery on cashless basis. TTK (ICICI) promptly responded to my request based on the reports by Doctor and faxed me a copy saying : "The particular hospital is not a part of the panel and hence I may pay the hospital bills and apply for reimbursement."

Going by the instructions thus received, I applied for the reimbursement after completion of surgery by providing necessary reports and bills. On applying for reimbursement I was shell shocked to hear rejection of my claims from ICICI/TTK based on the reason that my ailment is not covered under insurance as per clause 3.3 which was neither provided to me in any form nor was I ever briefed.

Now, I strongly feel this has been a deliberate attempt to cheat and victimise me by ICICI LOMBARD. ICICI LOMBARD has not disclosed/misrepresented and mislead me with the information and clauses with affirmative implicit & malicious intentions.

I strongly insist ICICI to provide me with a copy of my acknowledgement towards acceptance of the terms and conditions/clauses or an audio file of my verbal acceptance of the same. In the event of ICICI LOMBARD being unable to provide either of the above, I demand for a quick reimbursement of my claims with no further harassments.

I would highly appreciate your intervention in reimbursing my claims. I look forward to your reply and resolution to my problem.

Best Regards
Y.M. Joseph Mathew.

Hi,

I have issued a cheque of Rs 3507/- dt 08-08-08 for the Motor Policy renewal.
They issued a policy dt 13-08-08 to me (Only the cover note). They presented this cheque in the bank after 13 days on 21th Aug 08 and it got bounced.

How can they hold any cheque for so long and due to this they have cancelled my policy. On what basis they kept the cheque and never presented it.

Moreover,...

Dear All,

I want to make complaint against unethicalness of ICICI lombard life insurance.
I purchased the subject policy appx 4 years back against my home loan.The policy is of 5 years.Now after 4 years I paid total home loan and applied for cancellation of policy with the hope that they will refund me the pending amount.
I applied to Pune Kothrud Branch to Mrs.Archana and asked her how much refund I will be getting. She replied that let apply 1st and the call will come from ICICI. If at that time itself I was knowing that there is no refund in the 5th year then why I would have cancelled the policy. Inspite of it is nowhere mentioned on the policy that no refund in the last year cancallation.
I want to place a legal claim on ICICI Lombard and want them to refund me my balance amount whatever it may be even a single rupee OR cancel my cancalltion application and recontinue the policy.

All,

Please do not any time go with ICICI Lombard...they are cheaters

Dear Sir/Madam

My previous health policy for my old parents was 4034/FHR/03758941/00/000 and was payin premium for since last three years. And current notice of premium sent company is 4034/ FHR/ 03758941/00/000

If you see both the policy suddenly premium is raised from 7361/- to 48284/-. Now this is an embarrassing situation.

I have a questions for the company:

- This is a fraud with customer, please justify if not,
- When I went to Vadodara Branch, Landmark Building, Customer Manager was laughing against me saying “ IF you do not want to continue, stop and go out I have other customers
- Misbehaviour of Manager with customer with non reply of proper answer. Today also I do n’t have answer.
- Why premium is raised suddenly without notice to us and policy deactivated
-

I want immediate following:
Now Sir/Madam these things I want to immediate effect:

1] Policy to be activated
2] All my NCB to transfer with same policy.
3] An apology letter from your company for the abuse, discomfort, loss of peace of mind and time wastage for entire period caused to me.
5] I will NOT fill up any Health Declaration form since its your companies fault because of which my policy got elapsed.

As you can make out by now in this whole process your company was at fault, if these things are not done with immediate effect I will approch consumer court and that would not be a good idea I guess.I will not even hesitate to go to the media and show your companies true face to the innocent customers even. God forbid if I my parents would have some health issues that time, your company would not have given even a single rupee to my family, even though the policy was Lapsed due to your fault.


Kindly do the needful

I have submitted a claim 3 months back for risk covering policy of personal loan taken by ICICI bank.
My Claim is not yet processed even after submission of documents on 1st June 2008 and also got verified by ICICI Lombard team on 22nd June 2008. I have contacted to ICICI Lombard helpdesk by phone several times and got the answer that they are forwarding my concern to concerned department and they will contact me in 48 hour time, but I never got any call. They raised 2 service requests 4632194 and 10709973 for my concern.

Now more than 3 months have been since I initiated the claim and still my claim settlement is pending, although they claim that maximum of 45 days take for claim settlement. With this experience I am very much annoyed with ICICI bank. I never thought ICICI bank can be that much inhuman to a cancer patient and make him beg for the claim settlement.

Please help me out how I can find the justice?

Thanks and Regards,
Puspendra Kumar

I was having an Health Policy which expired this month.

I was chased by your people for renewal . Already, i have made up my mind to change the Policy since I had a very bad experience for one of the Hospitalisation claim . But, your sales people gave me an assurance that such incident will not repeat. Hence, I agreed to renewal with the policy amount debited on Equated Monthly Instalments.

When I received my credit Card statement, I got shocked to see that the entire amount was debited in one go !

If such an attitute ICICI is having in not keeping up the word, I am in loss of words to express my agony.

I have already lodged the complaint ( against the person who spoke from your Hydrabad branch) for converting into EMI. The reference Number is[protected] .

I am awaiting the response and will react based on the same.

Through mail, I was informed that the revised policy Number is 4034i/HIR/04785735/00/000 and the documents will be forwarded to me. Till date, I have not received the same.
