Hi Team,

I have faced an issue in which my card was debited for a amount of Rs.65.51 on 5/7/2010. which i didn't make any payment or so.

When i called customer care, one guy disconnected the phone after explaining the issue, then i called again, another guy responded properly and helped locking my card.

Also he said since it was online transaction he wouldn't be able to help and asked me to raise a dispute on this and i need to wait for 45 days to get results.

It's not an issue, what happens after 45 days?
I get details and if someone else have used my card credentials (i wonder how they got it), i have to file a CyberCrime case against him with the details provided by Kotak.

And i have to follow up to get my money back and its waste of my time and energy.

This issue is consistently happening in Kotak Cards, i have seen lot of such cases in consumercomplaints and also one of my friend is also an victim due to this.

I am writing to you that, this is happening only because of some traitors within your organisation.
Unless you peel them out, this issue wouldn't stop and you will obviously loose your credit card customers.

I am also posting this in Consumercomplaints.in for the benefit of rest of the people.

My CRN: 31082443

Note:
Today i am glad on locking the card and saying good bye to Kotak Credit Cards.

Thanks,

This is with regards to a policy that was issued to me on Dec 24, 2009. The policy was sold to me fraudulently by misrepresentation of data/facts. I was contacted by Miss Anu, who presented her as a representative of ABN Amro Bank (RBS), with which I’ve been holding a Personal Loan worth 249000. She had a fair idea about the loan account I was holding with the bank as she knew that only a few installments were pending on that account.
She told me that if I get this policy, I will be sanctioned an OD account from ABN Amro worth 5 lacs at a very low interest rate of 10.5% p.a. When asked that why the company requires me to get this policy, she said that the company would pledge this bond against your loan to secure the amount. She also said that this was a special offer for all the loyal customers of ABN Amro bank. Since she knew so much about my account, I never doubted her that she could be a fraud.

I accepted the offer after her continuous perseverance. She kept in continuous touch with me after I gave her the cheque for good 10 days. I kept on inquiring about the OD account, but she said that since the loan amount was pretty huge, it generally takes some time.
After a few days she stopped taking my calls. Her phone was either switched off or went unanswered.
I then called up ABN customer care dept. to inquire about my OD account. They told me that there was no such offer in place and nothing with this regards was under process.
I lodged a complaint at RBS and also called up Kotak Mahindra Customer care in the month of February 2010, to complain regarding the same.

Since then I’ve been lodging several complaints in the customer service department of Kotak Mahindra, but in vain.
In a recent conversation with Mr Rahul Sharma of Kotak Mahindra, login Dept, I asked him for the name and address of the agent who received a commission on my policy. I’m very sure that it is easy for the company to track this person as the company must have issued a draft or cheque of commission to this person.

I’m in need of money and this fraud has caused a lot of monetary loss as I’d made commitments expecting the sanction of the loan. I’m nt in position to pay further premium on this policy.

All I want from Kotak Mahindra is cancel my policy and return me the amount (Rs 30000) that I’d paid against the same.

Also as a renowned insurance company it is your duty to track such fraudulent people and save the dignity of your concern.

I’ve also been told that such agents of Kotak Mahindra have sold several such policies by making fake promises all over Delhi. This is going to tarnish the image of your company.

Also the knowledge of my ABN Amro loan account to your agent is a great matter of concern. Its breach of my privacy, to which that person is legally liable and since that person is agent of your company Kotak Mahindra is also liable for the same.

I hope the above mentioned complaints would throw some light on fraudulent policy selling, taking place in your company.

Please look in to the matter and cancel my policy to return me the amount in full.

Thanks

Hi Team,

I regret to inform you that my kotak credit card has been blocked. I feel to say I don’t know when it’s blocked but day before yesterday I went Restaurant city gate in thiruvanmiyur. I have balance in my card its 2368.38 rupees as per my current statement. So I gave my card after we had our lunch to barer they try to swipe the card twice but he simply came with me and said your card will not work. I was really shocked and tensed too. And also I was really very ashamed with my surrounding and office colleagues. Here before I didn’t face this type of issues. This is the first time am facing this big issue. It’s really very hurting to us. Suddenly I went back that hotel and I contacted your customer care nos. that system generation voice also said you have balance Rs. 2368.38 so I quit the phone line and again I entered that hotel and I argued with the manager and I ask them to swipe the card once again he was tried and said card is not working. But thank god I have another card to do my payment. Otherwise I ashamed more. I called up to your customer care and spoke to your team regarding this issues they simply said your card has been temporarily blocked but I asked the reason regarding that but they didn’t provide any proper answer.

Without any standard instructions to the customer how you blocked the card…..?

Can you please give me the explanation regarding this? Last 2 years am using your card every month I am trying to paying my bill before my due date. Lots of times I had a bill promptly but some times I missed I sincerely apologize.
Seriously I didn’t understand your formula. Last month I received a statement for Rupees 26,078.77 and also I had a payment for rupees 26,100 in two partial. On 30/06/2010 – 7000/- Rupees & 08/07/2010 – 19,100. Am I made any mistake for these partial payments? I received some funds so if I have that cash in my hand I simply spend for some others. So obviously I plan to pay the partial bill before 1 week to end of my due date and make a second partial before the due date that is the same I was executed. Some customer is waiting until the due date to make a payment but I am not interest to that. That’s why if when I received the cash I had a payment.
After my payment will credited in my account then only I stared to use my card again and also I received my current statement and am going to pay that amount before my due of 7th. So before this instance I don’t know why you block my card without any standing instruction to me.

1) Did you receive my last payment…?
2) Without paying my previous bill am I used your card…..?
3) I didn’t received any late payment charges or any over due charges in my current statement

Without this above issues my card has been blocked. If you are think if I am not a good customer to you then why you approved the card? Am not doing any fault here. Activate my card as much earlier. Once if I get some valid answer from your side then only I am going to pay the next bill.

Without my card activation surely I tell you I never make my current payment and also I mentioned my details for your ref.

I am getting calls from kotek mahendera bank regarding the payment. I told them that i have lost my job and i need some tme to make the payment as am in a very bad positiob . i am married my wife is an house wife and my father is the only person who is running the whole family now, he is running a small printing business and i am helphing hime as i dont have any other job. I have explained the situvation to the person who is calling use. And even my father told hime that he will arrange some amount and requested hime for the settlement. but the agent is using very very bad language about my father and mother and he is also telling me that he will take me and kill me if i dont make the payment. i am very scared as my father is a patient and wat will happend if some thing goes wrong. Please help me sir please, as we are facing many problems in our house due to this issue. I request you sir to please help me because i am scared of my father health.

A lady called Mahi called from tel no [protected] repeatedly despite refusing her interest in the promotional calls regarding Kotak Mahindra bank and despite letting her know that my number [protected] is registered with do not disturb registery. She kept on calling again and agian for 25 minutes until i kept the receiver of the phone aside

I applied for a loan for a Honda City Car VAT in May 2010 and got approved for 85% of the amount. So I went and paid the advance of 50,000 and booked the car.I am working in a company in Hyderabad, I had to go to US on some assignment.Thats when the loan agents started giving us lots of problems. They told me if I leave India then they cannot disburse the loan. Even after repeatedly pleading with them that this is part of my job responsibilities that I travel different countries, they started harrassing us. I also informed them that my base is in hyderabad and that I will be paid in indian currency only. I even asked them to inquire with my employers. After 3 months of going thru the stress of applying for the loan, they have been treating us like beggers.Subsequently they harrased me and my family so much that we had a file a complaint at Mumbai office. When they came to know of the complaint , they became threatening. I would like to file a law suit against them. I would be grateful if anyone , gives me advice on this.

Thanking you

Respected sir,

Myself Jai singh from village abusar, jhunjhunu district is an agriculturist now and a retired

army person. I have invested Rs. 24000/- in an insurance plan of kotak life insurance

company named Super advantage plan. The policy was issued on 12 april 2010 & policy

number is 01963624.I received this policy bond on 28th April 2010 and when I read about

conditions and various charges of this policy I decided to freelook this policy bond. I sent

back that policy bond to the kotak life head office mumbai with my written request to free

look this policy as soon as possible on 28 april 2010 through speed post.

But after some days when I call to the customer care of kotak life insurance they told me

that my request has been rejected bcz i request to freelook this policy due to economic

reasons and now the freelook period is over so we are unable to follow your request. I got

shocked as they did'n't intimateme during the freelook period that my free look request is

rejected.If they gave me the information on time I will sent them the request again on time.

Now I am helpless and the freelook of this policy is still pending and the bond is also not

sent to me till date by the company. I want to freelook this policy right now as the premium

paying term is more than my premium paying capacity and this plan is not suitable to my

requitements and this is impossible for me to surrender this policy in the very 1 st year .

Please do the needful to this matter .

Thanks & Regards

Agreement No- CF-4043964
even spoke to your officer Soman Neoge from collection department and asked him same instead answering my queries he bluntly said that will I make the payment or not in a threat tone. He didn’t disclosed any information neither he provided me any breakup. (agreement attached)



I AM AGAIN PUTTING MY GREVIANCE HOPE I WILL GET THE ANSWER>

I Sandip Singh client of your esteemed company via loan agreement number 4043964 wish to bring to your information that there are malpractices happening in your organization, I am mental harassed due to this ill practice of your organization.



I was approached by your sales representative for the loan few years back, I believed in your brand and the customer relationship factor associated with BRAND Name KOTAK Mahindra and did the mistake of availing the loan.

I wish to bring to your information that incident which took place there after.



· Only contact person I knew was your sales person and he left your organization few moths after providing me the loan. This lead to utter confusion about the next person I should correspond to. I didn't receive any further correspondence which could state about your Kolkata address or the contact person name who I can contact for any information.



· I acknowledge that few of my cheque got bounced for which I have receive call form your organization stating that I have to make the payment. I have always asked to your tell caller (official on phone) that what is the extra amount I have to pay for my dishonor cheque. But your tell callers always stated that I will be contacted later for this currently I just have to pay the installment amount, which I always did.(Kindly check your teli-caller taped calls you will have the proof of my request) I have always paid the amount, never tried to differ of delay the payment knowingly and tried to have my financial image clean.



· I was never been contacted for the amount (fine) which I have to pay on my cheque bounce though I mad request to your teli-callers. Neither had I received any correspondence during my loan tenure about the extra amount or penalty or interest which is accrued in my account.



· Today 05th of June 2010 I have received a call form one of your officials asking am I interested in getting the NOC form the company on giving my affirmation he stated that I to pay Rs.5000+ for getting the same. On asking what it is due against as I have cleared my account he stated this is late fine and interest charged on my account.



Please State why none of your official asked me to pay the late fine along with the installment if that being the case.? Why prior to today I didn't had any official correspondence / communication stating that this amount is accrued and I need to pay it of on urgent basis. Why the fine was left to build to this disproportional amount without providing any information to the client.



Your organization is charging interest on late payment till date where as I could have easily paid the late interest along with the installment if informed during the period.



I believe this is a practice which a company of yours can do without, this might be happening to the other clients too. I believe this may hamper and dampen your image as financial company. This is a practice done by local money lenders that to they keep the client informed.



I believe you will understand my grievance and try to improve your information system and client relation ship, and will charge which should be just and fair.



I am not telling to cancel all the charges but to take the charge which is on the fair ground.



I believe you will come up with the answer which will justify your company stature. I am eagerly looking forward to your positive response as soon as possible.

Hi Dear,
I have taken a Kotak life insurance policy of "policy number 1850091" in the month of January 2010. I got the receipt of my first premium, paid by me although till date I have not received my policy documents.
When I have enquired (2-3 times) the same with Kotak-customer care executive, I got a reply that Kotak has sent the policy document on my permanent house address which has been collected by some other person. And I don't know any person with that name. In my house, nobody has received those documents.
Since I have not received my Kotak policy document, I can not be a legal policy holder.

Since last 2 months i had been continuously doing the follow up with one of the account manager of Kotak to get me the duplicate copy of my policy but he is not taking this matter seriously and never give the satisfactory answer to get this work done.


Please help.

Thanks,
Sandeep Rawat

I have a savings account (A/c No. [protected]) in Kotak Mahindra bank. Since January 2010 the bank has deducted around Rs. 2500 from my account as Non-Maintenance Charge.

I had opened the account under a promotional offer for the employees of the company. A representative of the bank persuaded me to open the account on the grounds that it will be a zero balance account. All I had to do was make an initial deposit which I think it was Rs. 20,000.

In Jan I noticed that around Rs. 825 was deducted from the account. When I called I was told that the promotional offer of zero maintenance was only for 1 year and that the status of the account has been changed to one requiring a maintenance of a minimum average. Since then around Rs.2500 has been deducted from my account.

This was done without informing me. I never received any letter or call from the bank stating that the account status has been changed and that I have to maintain a minimum average balance.If they had informed me beforehand I would have maintained the minimum average balance like I do in case of my other bank accounts.

I have called them multiple times and even spoke to a representative from the Bandra branch (where my account is), but to no avail.I request you to please intervene and help in closing this issue.

Thanking you
