Sir , I have deposited Rs 2 lacks on[protected] under Fixed Deposit in Santhi Colony, Annanagar Chennai-40.My SB A/C No.is [protected].An Employee of SBI Mr.ILLIYAS, approached me that I may have the SBI CREDIT CARD on the security of above Fixed Deposit.Then I accepted and signed in the Credit Card Application Form and I agree the limit may be fixed as Rupees one lack.After one hour I have decided not to avail the benefit of credit card and informed him to cancel the documents.He replied that the documents have already been sent to higher official immediately and it could not be changed now.At present I can not withdraw the amount outstanding in my a/c because the bank have fixed a lien of Rs 1 Lack.The bank officers are not giving any solution or remedy to my problem.Please help me to cancel the issue of credit card and release the lien amount (Rs 1 lack ).

Sir,

Subject: Harassment due to Abusive Recovery Practices,

Your bank/company had allured me and issued your State Bank of India's (SBI Card's) credit card. Presently credit card Number is [protected]. I have been meticulously and regularly asking your bank/company to submit your bills in original and paying amount of credit card upon receipt of bills.

2. I and nearly half a dozen officers of your bank have exchanged frequent telephonic talks, SMS's and emails letters, and representations in person, in connection with payment of your undue claims, my unresolved complaints and grievances.

3. I have been paying, however, I have declined to pay back amount charged to my account which is not relating to my actual use and charges, penalties, taxes etc levied for no fault on my part.

4. Since your frequent SMS's, emails, abusive and insulting telephone calls are causing me undue harassment, mental and emotional tension, inconvenience, expenses, agony, waste of my costly time and discomfort in addition to defamation, I have decided to initiate legal action under Banking Ombudsman Scheme 2006 or The Consumer Protection Act 1986, in addition to filing FIR's against the defaulting staff and recovery agents of the bank.

5. I add that Bank is indulging in unfair trade practice, illegal means and extortive approach. It has grossly violated and continues to breach:

A] Code of Bank’s Commitment to Customers of BCSBI

B] Fair practice code and collection policy mandated by RBI

C] Under mentioned master circulars of RBI on Credit Cards:

a. RBI/[protected]/32
DBOD.FSD.BC.17 / 24.01.011/ 2007-08 dated[protected]

b. RBI/2008-09/39
DBOD.FSD.BC.6/ 24.01.011/ 2008-09 dated[protected]


D] Judgments and directives of hon’ble SUPREME COURT OF INDIA in following cases:

a. Criminal Appeal arising out of SLP (Crl.) No. 4935 of 2006
ICICI Bank versus Shanti Devi Sharma & Others.

b. 2007 (2) MLJ 854 (SC) Manager, ICICI Bank Ltd versus Prakash Kaur & Others dated[protected]

E] Various provisions of The Consumer Protection Act 1986

F] Provisions of IPC and Cr PC

6. Before I initiate action against the bank, its staff and recovery agents, I finally call upon you to:

A] Stop calling me on phone or mobile or in person by your staff or recovery agents. You should now communicate to me by written letters duly signed and under the original seal of your bank/company and mentioning the name with sirname department designation, office address with pin code, office phone number with STD code, official mobile phone number and email of the competent person who signs the letter, only at my above address followed by emails. Letters be sent by registered or speed post only.

B] Provide me by speed post and also email within 15 days of receipt of this notice following details of outstanding dues if any:

a. date of debit

b. full and exhaustive details of claim with justification.

c. amount of claim.

d. supporting proof to substantiate each claim.

e. Pending bills in original which have not been supplied till date by you despite unlimited number of reminders by telephonic calls, letters, and representations in person.

7. In case if I do not receive details as above within time limit stated hereinabove, I shall presume that the Bank has no claims outstanding against me in their records. Please do not use abbreviations which a common man cannot understand. As per my understanding from incomplete records of your bills I have nothing to pay to the bank towards use of your card.

8. I reiterate that, I believe in fair dealings which and I have done my level best by giving unlimited number of representations to your bank/ company and I am prepared to pay to your bank/company the actual amounts spent by me and excluding the amounts which is not relating to my actual use and charges, penalties, taxes etc levied for no fault on my part.

As already communicated to employees of your bank/company, I am not interested in settlement of any amount or pay less than what is due from me.
As prescribed by Reserve Bank of India, you have to supply the credit report by charging up to a maximum amount of Rs.50.00 (Rupees Fifty only), accordingly enclosed herewith is the cheque number 041991 dated 30-Nov-2010 drawn on Union bank of India Jalandhar for Rs.50.00 (Rupees Fifty only) towards supply of my credit report, if any, filed by your company in credit rating agency e.g. CIBIL, by registered or speed post only, so as to reach me within seven days from the date of submission of this communication in your local office at my location. You shall also confirm in writing that your company's fee structure is Rs.50.00 (Rupees Fifty only) or less than Rs.50.00 (Rupees Fifty only) for the supply of credit report.
If you have submitted my credit report, to any other credit rating agency, other than CIBIL also, you shall confirm it in writing by letter under the original seal and signature of the competent employee of your company as explained above and you shall ask for the fee mentioning the amount of fee and the same shall be deposited by me on hearing from you at your local centre at Jalandhar for the supply of the certified and original copy of such credit report by you by registered or speed post only.

SBI - Credit card division is taking documents and all the information and assuring to give a credit card. After application, the credit card application is rejected. However on corresponding with the Credit Crard division the ground of rejection is not intimated or given to the customer. These credit card division based on our documents provided , a verification call is received, which is also carried our properly and after some days the card is rejected. This issue is happening since long and with many of the individuals. These people are not even discloing the reason for rejection. If the people are not meeting the criteria then why they are collecting the documents and other personal information. Even after carrying pout the verification the applications is geeting rejected.

Thsi is a nto a specific case and its been their practise with many of the individuals

I paid my bill of Rs 455 ( Bill no: [protected] ,Bill period: 21.08.10 to 20.09.10) using my SBI debit card of State bank of india Agartala Bazar branch on 23rd sept'2010 to vodafone (kolkata).
The transaction was successfull.But when I go through my bank (state bank of india ) account I found that the above mentioned amount was debited twice from my account.I have informed Vodafone regarding the problem. They have replied rather confirmed that they got the payment for once. I have attached the transaction receipt from Vodafone, pdf form of my account statement and the confirmation email copy to the bank on 9th october 2010.The bank official said that they will be working on it and the rest amount of Rs 455 will be automatically credited to my account.After waiting 15 days from then i.e on 25th october'2010 I went to the bank again and on that day a complaint was lodged in their system directly by a bank official. The system generated a CMS no: AT [protected] with the status as referred. After 10 days i.e on 9th November,2010 I again went to the bank and the status seems that the bank is contacting with the vendor (Vodafone) for the details.Then I contact with the Manager regarding my problem and again submitted the same document with an application for fast processing and also take a receive copy of the same.
Today is 10th December,2010 and till the money is not credited to my account and there is no response from the bank regarding the same.

My card number[protected] is against a term deposite in SBI HAL branch Bangalore. Through a letter dated[protected], Customer Services stated that the status is changed and hence card will be deactivated.

It is to state that the term deposite in the bank remains the same and please inform what is the threat you have perceived?
The card has been deactivated and this action has no justification.
I expect a satisfactory reply.
