Dear Sir,
This is NAGESWARA RAO BONKURU, Savings Bank A/c No. [protected] of State Bank of India at Perecherla (1345) branch Andhra Pradesh and the ATM Card No.[protected] have registered trhough ATM for SMS alert service twice. However, the service has not been activated so far. My present mobile no. is [protected](Mumbai). In view of the above, I request you to kindly check the status of the request and activate the SMS asert service on the given mobile no. [protected](Mumbai) at the earliest.

Thanking you sir,

I hold a Savings account in SBI Serilingampally Branch, Hyderabad. I have requested for internet banking profile(kit) on 24th February 2010 and clearly indicated the account number (my account) in the application form for internet banking user profile/kit.
I was given a kit containing a user id and password and have been advised to login and check on Monday (3rd March 2010). Now when i logged into the internet banking site of SBI (www.onlinesbi.com) today, I find that a completely diffrent account has been linked to my profile DESPITE ME SPECIFYING THE ACCOUNT NUMBER CLEARLY IN THE APPLICATION FORM SUBMITTED IN THE BRANCH.
This is a potential mistake with huge impact as it may have happened to my account or any body account which is literally providing access to one's bank account to the inappropriate person.

From December 2008, I am receiving a phone call from SBI ([protected]/76) in my mobile, which asks me for Mr. Asish Taru Goswami. I have taken the mobile from Vodafone directly on Nov 2008 and started getting this call from SBI.

This is happening for almost 15 months despite the fact that I have informed the Callers every time that I am not the person they are calling and asked them to stop calling me. And every time the caller assured me that they are updating at their end and I will not receive any calls. But even after several requests this is not stopping. I am still receiving calls evey week and sometimes even mutiple calls a day.

I think this person "Asish Taru Goswami" is using some SBI products and as a reason SBI is trying to reach him. But SBI has no right to disturb any other person continuously by dialing a wrong number. This is a harrasment to me, receiving a wrong number for a long 15 months.

As a reason, I would request SBI to look after this problem and hope that I will receive no calls from SBI asking for some other person.

To,
The SBI Manager,
Credit Card Division.

This is with reference to SBI Credit Card which was offered to me under false commitments. Request you to read the complete mail and arrange a call back asap.

I had received a call from your Outsourced Agency for taking SBI Credit Card. I was told that there are no joining/cancellation/yearly fees etc. and i was told that i would get a SBI Gold Credit card and Credit /Cash limit shall be equal or more then my existing HDFC card.
Based on what i heard, i believed and agreed to take the card and requested the agency to send someone to collect the documents. I handed over all required documents and took xerox of the Application form papers.
Then i started getting calls from the Verification Agency confirming the Application and they intimated me that there was a joining fee for the card and i have applied for SBI Silver Card. The Application Form no. indicated by your Verification Agency was Wrong and i shared the actual Form No. which i had filled since i have the Xerox Copy with me. I told your Verification agency that i had applied for Gold Card and that i was informed that there were no hidden charges (i.e. joining, cancellation, etc.). After i shared this information to your Verification agency i again got calls from your Outsourced Agency indicating that it was one time payment and i need to agree. I clearly told you Agency that i was not going to say yes for these one time charges and if the charge still persist then they should have informed me and i requested them not to process my application. I got around 7-8 calls from your Agency with different people speaking to me (i.e. Smitha, Divya, Pooja, Poonam) and also to Sonya who said she was the Sr. Manager representing on behalf of SBI and her mobile no. is [protected] (atleast this is what was given to me). I believe the name of your Outsourced Agency was Lead Source Financial Ltd. or something like that. They even went to the extent to telling me that they shall pay the charges from their side/salary and i should say yes to your Verification Agency. I rejected the same indicated that it was not the right approach and then when the call once again came to me from your Verification Agency, i once again clearly stated that i would not like to have this application processed and that i want my documents back and the same was agreed with your Verification Agency.
Then a few days latter i got an SMS indicating that my Application was under process, i immediately called your Customer Care and spoke to your executive informing him (Executive Name: Majid) of the entire incident. Your executive (Majid) informed me that since the Application is in progress there is no other data that was currently visible and hence he (Majid) cannot check whether any charges were cancelled or persisted. I told him to log a complaint and make a note of the same since i had requested not to process the SBI Card if there were any charges associated. Majid was kind enough to give me a Reference no.[protected] for the call and i really hope Majid had documented our discussion.
Today (02-Mar-2010) i received the card, SBI Silver Credit Card and over and above that in the Terms & Conditions it stated that there were charges associated with the Card. Also when i tried calling the customer care i heard a charge of Rs.250/- charged to me for the card.
I am highly disappointed with this attitude and un-professional behaviour from SBI especially since our famly has been with SBI since ages. I am also disgusted by the approach of your Outsourced Agency and Verification Agency which processed this Application Form even after i clearly stated that i would not want the application to be processed. Statements from your Outsourced Agency such as "This is just a one time charge and who bothers of Rs250/- today, if you want i shall pay it from my side just say yes to the Verification Agency" are completely unethical and unacceptable. This approach is definitely unacceptable and is highly unprofessional. I had called today (02-Mar-2010) at 1950hrs on your Customer Care no. and when the call was attended by your Executive (Umang) he just put me back on the IVR without even listening to me and then after 7min. on the IVR, i heard that Customer Car is closed for the day.
I am disgusted with this approach right from your Outsourced Agency who committed fraud, your Verification Agency who processed the Application even after i told them not to process the application and the attitude of your Executive (Umang) who did not bother to even lend a ear to me and understand what was the issue before putting me on the IVR.
Relevant details are mentioned below for your reference:
Application Form No.: S[protected]
Reference No.:[protected]of the Complaint logged by Majid)
Credit Card No: [protected]

I need a call immediately from SBI Executive and need you to cancel the card asap without any charges associated towards me. I would not like to avail any further services from SBI and its complete experience was unprofessional.

Kindly do the needful and facilitate for closing the closing the credit card.

I went to SBI Shivaji Nagar, Branch, Gurgaon. I have a car loan account with the branch. I requested for the account statement of my account. First of all I was directed to computer room, where Mr. Baweja treated me as unwanted person. On my requests he intiated the print out of the statement and asked me to collect from the cabin of Mr. Singh (cashier). I went to Mr. Singh, he replied that there is no print out go back to Mr. Baweja. Mr. Baweja advised to talk to Mr. Gulshan. I went to Mr. Gulshan who told me that it is the duty of Mr. Baweja, he is the incharge. I again went to Mr. Baweja who replied that there is no stationery. After some request he managed some A4 sheets. But there was a paper jam in the printer. He said Mr. Gulshan can do in this case. Mr. Gulshan finally replied that he has filed a complaint to service provider and printer will be ok by evening.

I left the branch in such an anger repenting the day when I applied for car loan from this bank.

I insisted that how does SBI asking me to pay though fail to deliver the credit card but the gentlement was rough and using thretening tone.

I bring to your kind attention of this kind of blackmailing attitude of SBI credit Card department / service and am distrubed.

Soms one or other is always at home and he claims that there where no one at home as per his currier company and even if the card not delivered i must pay and he insist to state that i pay with threat tone
