Standard Chartered Bank Complaints & Reviews

Be careful before you take a loan with standard chartered. I had taken a small property loan (5 year tenure) from standard chartered (Mg road bangalore branch) in 2004. Since i got a job that paid much better in 2015 i paid the remaining balance in 2015. At that time i was told that i should stop by after the loan tenure to pick up my land papers. I was out of the country for a while, so i didn't collect the paperwork until now. So i went to the bank branch a couple of months ago. I was asked to bring some identification papers which i did a few weeks later. Then they told me i had a pending balance on my loan account! Apparently this amount was rs. 13000 in 2009, they tried to contact me at my phone number (Which has changed) and since they couldn't, they kept penalising me and now i owe them rs.40000. I was shocked, so i asked for an explanation about the charges. Till now they have not been able to explain exactly what these additional charges are, only that until i pay this i will not get my paperwork.In other words they are holding my land papers hostage for some charges that they are not able to clearly explain. All this after i had explained to them how urgently i need the papers a few weeks ago.

I was using a standard charterd bank credit card no. [protected], in nov 26, 2012 there was a disputed transaction for rs. 14569.00 with above credit card for which i had submitted the dispute declaration form many times with bank. I had continued using the card for some time and cleared all the dues except the disputed one for which bank were keep on assuring me to resolved but matter is not yet resolved.

Form last few months mr. Mohit (Collection department), is calling me every day from[protected] and[protected] on my mobile, my work place and my colleagues, using the derogatory language, harassing and forcing me to pay the disputed amount along with interest and charges which is around 50k.

The language is very abusive and threatening, i as a female feel very bad and insecure due to his filthy language. I request you to kindly help getting this issue resolved.

My Cibil report is showing a credit card overdue of Rs. 13, 947/- which is belongs to Standard Chartered Bank Credit Card for the year 2012.
I had paid due payment through cheque in year 2012 but cheque was not presented in my bank account till 15 days from the date of issued. So I had make the payment online through netbanking and issued cheque was stoped for payment. Later on Standard Chartered Bank presented the aforesaid cheque in my Bank a/c and levied cheque return charges along with interest & other incidental charges.
These charges are not paid on protest, as I had already paid the due amount on time. So I request you to please look into the matter.

Card No. [protected]/ [protected]
Issue - Misplaced card utilized despite informing the bank
Incident - The amount of Rs 9000 used by the person who stole the card. we made the payment of Rs9000 to settle the account.
Issues - The bank has inflated the amount by adding interest despite informing well in advance.

I had a credit card no [protected]/ [protected] issued by Stanc. I had lost the card on 7/7/2002 and informed the bank on 8/7/2002 regarding the misplace of the card. The phone banking officer Priti Fernandes confirmed that no transaction was made on the card. However, there was Rs9000 withdrawl happened on the card which I got to know from the statement received on it. After that, still we made the payment of Rs9000 to settle the account. However the bank has sold the receivables to another organization and they have made the outstanding as INR 226000 and are giving me threatening calls everyday. I believe it is not a justified issue. We had also given several notices from our advocates in order to get this sorted but have not heard from the bank. Can you please look into the matter and get it sorted?

I am an NRI. I had paid to the building back in 2013 booking amount for commercial unit and the builder failed to deliver the unit in time so I requested the builder to refund the amount and after a year of follow up I got my refund in May 2016, by way of local cheque without interest which I deposited with my NRO account with Standard Chatered Bank on Friday and I kept following up on Monday, Tuesday and on which bank replied me that 3 working days I need to wait and on wednesday I called and they told me that they need the cancellation letter from the builder, as the cheque itself and my declaration is not sufficient for them. Subsequently I requested to the builder begging for the cancellation letter, which was provided by the builder, which I gave to the standard Chartered bank. Subsequently bank asked me to show the entry from my which account this amount was paid me to the builder. I said it is a matter of 3 years back and I do not remember from which account it is gone also I did not find it necessary to keep my three years old account statement. So the bank is threatening that if I don't show them the entries in the bank statement, they will reject the cheque. However they already wasted my one week of time and further I have an overdraft with the standard chartered bank on which I am charged interest on daily basis and need to settle the overdraft. The bank has been ignoring the valid negotitable instrument i.e. the cheque, my declaration, copy of the cancellation letter of my units with details of the unit and amount, my confirmation and so on. Everyday they are coming up with new requirement and making it tough to clear the amount to my account and to clear the overdraft.

Hi, someone has given my mobile number as reference in 2004 and took a credit card. I am not aware of it, no one contacted me at that point of time. And one more important thing is, i was a student at the time in a college affiliated to university of madras. After 12 years, i received a call today from[protected], mentioned themselves as fraud recovery team, they are asking me to provide the personal details of the person who applied card in 2004. I am not aware of these details.

They are threatening me that they will spoil my cibil score and update my present company that i had helped in that fraud, which is ridiculous. I am so scared of that call and raising this complaint against your bank.

Please take action on such things and help public.

I understand that instabuy's account – classic is created when i took loan for rs.40000 on 28th july 2015. There is no written record on the interest rate for the loan amount. As on today 9 emi payments have been made. I notice that from aug 2015 statement onwards every month emi is added to both primary account and instabuy's account. I find that i was made to make double emi payments from aug 2015 onwards. Further there is also tax and interest charges for the emi every month. If an account is created for the emi payments and added to the outstanding amount then what is the need to again add the emi to the primary card?

I seek explanation on why emi is charged twice for the same card from aug 2015 onwards.

Expecting the revised statement adjusting the doubly charged emi to make final onetime payment to settle the account.

Re : serious complaint for levied wrong charges on wrong debit amount – credit card no. [protected]


I would like to draw your kind attention that i am using credit card of your bank on or before 2009 approx. During the july 2013, i have used the credit card of your bank in respect of the transaction of tata sky recharge on yearly basis of small amount of rs. 3, 400 vide mobile solution dated[protected] which was not credited in the account of tata sky / mobile solution account from your bank credit card. During that day, i have tried my best whether rs. 3, 400 has credited or not as i have to continue the tata sky channel for a year basis. Even on the next day, i have further verified whether payment of rs. 3, 400 has credited from the credit card of standard chartered bank or not? Unfortunately, that was not made to tata sky / mobile solution and therefore, i have to chosen my another credit card of icici bank and that amount is more than rs. 3, 400 due to selected another option of tata sky for selected channel and accordingly i have made more than rs. 3, 400 payment from the credit card of icici bank.

During the month of july 2013, i personally felt, the payment of credit card of standard chartered actually not used by me and only credit card of icici has used. Subsequent to month end, i have received a statement of standard chartered credit card and i have shown the charges of rs. 3, 400 has wrongly mentioned in the statement and therefore, i have checked this issue before the tata sky / mobile solution for the payment details of standard chartered has done or not and accordingly tata sky / mobile solution has sent me a my ledger of payment in which my transaction for the month of july 2013 has checked up. I have verified the statement of tata sky charges and there was no payment made from standard chartered but there was payment of made of icici credit card only with more than amount of rs. 3, 400 (Rs. 3, 200 + rs. 710=rs. 3, 910).

As above, issue arisen with your bank records and your officer is saying me that we have already made payment from our bank to tata sky but they are not getting the proof of statement of payment from tata sky for transfer the payment from standard chartered to tata sky in which my renewal yearly charges has of rs. 3, 400 has mentioned.

Looking to the above factual position, i have not made payment of rs. 3, 400 to standard chartered bank credit card of july 2013. Subsequently, i have also drawn the attention to the bank officers and they do not agreed with me and finally, they have told me to make a complaint in prescribed form from the site of standard chartered bank. Accordingly, i have made complaint and also attached the tata sky / mobile solution statement of payment made by me. They do not considered and levy the as usual charges of interest, late fees etc. From the month of august 2013 to till date and accordingly total accrued amount of charges of rs. 54, 248 against the payment of rs. 3, 400 which i have not to pay legally or they have not any valid proof.

Looking to the above, i have done many times complaints via e mail with attachment but bank authority has not considered because tata sky has not confirmed till date for receipt of payment of rs. 3, 400 from standard chartered bank but only confirmed of icici bank credit cared which is a different amount and not rs. 3, 400.

Even if you can give me confirmation from tata sky about the payment of rs. 3, 400 has received in such case i will definitely liable to pay rs. 3, 400 to standard chartered bank without interest and other charges as there was no proof given till date. You can also reverse it and we are not legally liable to pay which pl. Note.

Bank authority has never tried to get a confirmed statement to get from tata sky / mobile solution about the payment proof of rs. 3, 400 and in such case how i can make double payment and / or wrong payment to standard chartered bank.

Looking to the overall above facts, i have made all payment against my all purchases and therefore, i am not liable to pay any charges and / or payment which is not concerned with my purchases.

To avoid dissatisfaction and complaint against the bank authority of standard chartered, bank authority has to reconsider in respect of the above matter and with the all charges and wrong payment debited in my statement.

You are requested to pl. Do the needful and give necessary instruction to the concerned officer and / or the department for the above matter for keeping better relationship with your valued customers and you can check up my track record from the beginning in respect of any of the bank credit card as i have already made payment against my all purchases which pl. Note.

Thanking you,

Loan smart credit loan account number [protected]

The above loan overdue according to standard chartered was inr 41, 448.77
My father has settled the above loan for an amount of inr 10, 000 / = vide cheque number 913377 canara bank viveknagar branch bangalore -560047
I have a settlement letter saying settlement of account on 15/02/2010.
The cheque also has gone through (Cleared).
Still i get letters from standard chartered bank asking me to repay inr 31448.77 and that they have appointed some agency to collect the same.
I have received this letter today also.
The same was in the lok adalath court vide case number 7184/2009.
My father had taken all the copies and original of the settlement letter.
Standard chartered then withdrew the case before the hearing on 12/12/2011.
The withdrawal memo is kept in file number 11771/2008 and i have a copy of the letter confirming withdrawal of case by standard chartered bank with the lok adalath court with the court seal affixed to it.

Inspite of this being a totally settled account and also a time bar debt.
This unscrupulous and cheating bank standard chartered is sending me letters to repay the loan.

Dear sir

Please find the communication sent to bank and their partner for misreporting the record in cibil for non payment of rs 11.95 lacs which is showing as outstanding in my record, wherein the credit limit of the card was 17000/ and all were paid to the executive of bank before 2005, i have worked with standard chartered bank from nov 2005 in mumbai and delhi till feb 2008 .


Refer email communication sent to bank below
Dear jaba


Again i would like to inform you again and again and bring to your notice that agreement between bank and shaha finlease is done in 2010 but the card was not issued to me in this duration . The card was issued to me i believe in 2002 or 2003 . Simply writing simple mail will not serve the purpose,


How many times bank approached since 2004 to me for pending payments . What was the collection team doing till 2010 for recovery of payments . I believe anyone joining the organization or bank . The organization does proper due diligence before any associates joins .Please confirm whether standard chartered do not any kind of due diligence and kyc documents is not obtained as part of joining before joining of any associates, i think system is centralize and you can find the details of any person who has done any default within the bank,
I have not received single call or mail regarding any pending payment when i was in service with standard chartered bank in consumer banking from 2005 till 2008, what was the reason for not coordinating with me for any payment or bank was waiting till 2010 when this job can be handed over to shaha fin lease who can malign the image and creditability of the customer, i don't think that i have to brief you regarding the operating procedure of your partner and the image, u can get all information easily available on internet regarding this,

As per telephonic discussion with you i was communicated hen the card limit was rs 18000/ and there was some partial payment pending in 2004, what was the amount of partial payment which i was pending and what was the interest calculated on partial payment which comes to 10.95 lacs, i have already cleared that all payments were made to bank executive and as per my knowledge there is no pending payment,

I can share certain instances within the bank in branch branching the kind of frauds done by the employees and how they play with the customer money . As an example rm from karol bagh incident in 2008 .


I was customer of standard chartered bank from 2002 or 2003 not to shaha finlease so in any case i would not settle any amount or coordinate with shaha finlease, .

Please refer to my cibil report where it does not show any principal amount and in the area of principal amount it is mentioned as 10.95 lacs .

I came to know about this cheating and fraud from bank when i pulled out my cibil report and after this it was really shocking to me,


Request to to please stop cheating and playing with the image and credibility of the customers .


Request banking ombudsman for help and support,

I had a SB AC No.[protected] with a balance of more than Rs.2, 00, 000/- at Chennai. The Bank suddenly debited an amount of Rs.1, 76, 694.71/- towards alleged amount due and payable to Standard Chartered Bank, Kolkata against some Credit Card. Even statement was not supplied and our entire endeavour’s went futile. A Recovery suit was filed and decreed in my favor directing the bank to credit sum of Rs.1, 76, 694.71/- plus Rs.1, 171/- towards cost of the suit along with interest. Till date the court order date 24/06/2008 is not complied by the bank. Our all correspondences with the ombudsman have also gone futile. It appears that nothing can be done against a Foreign Bank by our Judiciary too. Customer is helpless in the hands of all these foreign Banks. Hence I request all concern to make it vocal in media to save ill treated customers.
