Hi,

I had got a call from SBI for a card saying since I am working for company "X". I get a card with no fees or payment.

I accepted the same, got a call a few weeks later saying I'll have to pay Rs. 500 as joining, so I told them no.

Inspite of doing so I have been issued a card and have been getting bills for the same.
in the first bill I have already been charged some GST debit for current Statement, have never used the card.

I called the company, I was told some one will get back, no one did.
I wrote a mail, got a reply with a ref no. and lost more servives and offers, mail enclosed below.

Its been a month from that and i have not got a reply.

Mails below for your ref

Subject: Cancelation of card


Cancelation

I am very disappointed with the service with the Credit Card Division of your bank.

I was called by one of your promoting agencies and was told that, being an employee of company ‘x’ I am eligible for a SBI gold card which has no fees for life.

I accepted the offer and asked the company to send some to collect the details required.

The details were taken and the necessary documents were taken, after a few days I got a confirmation call. The person on the other side informed me that I was suppose to pay a annual fee of Rs. 500 if I don’t make a purchase of Rs. 50,000/ every year. I immediately asked them to cancel the card.

To which the card has been sent, two weeks back (18/9/09) I called the call center for cancelation of the card and I was told that someone will be calling me for the same. I have not yet got any call and have started getting the statements and reminders for paying the bill for an unused card.

I was also not told that there will be a joining fee of Rs. 500.

I want this card canceled immediately.

I am marking this mail to the RBI so that they know how the agents forcibly sell card and fool people to make sales.

If no action is taken soon, I'll FWD the mail to the media

I was looted by this offer too, the scratch card declared me as the winner of Sandiego Polo club Wrist watch SR, I thought lets get it, only catch was pay Rs 500 towards some handling charges. I got the watch delivered in 45 days but what a shock of life SBI gave me. It was a Rs.10 watch whose minute & second hands were broken inside the watch & the clip of band was too broken. I am not worried of the money lost, but the trust & faith that was put to stake by SBI by using this cheap gimmick on we the sucker patrons. I am sure SBI is not much aware of this & should immediately look into this & help the duping of Innocent customers.

Respected Sir/Madam,
This is to bring to your attention the sluggish, unprofessional and rude behaviour of employees of State Bank of India, Modi Nagar Branch towards its customers.
I have opened a saving bank account 3 years before, whenever I visit to the bank for any work (i.e. either it is related to net banking facilities or for the request of a new Cheque Book) they have asked me to come next day

Generally I found half of the counters are always closed or if open then they had mile long queues infront of them. Added to that the staff behind the counters left their desks at regular intervals of a few minutes for “refreshments”.
And if we need any information from them they (Specially Mr. Dinesh Kumar) always answer very rudely.
I have never found any manager in his seat.

After getting so much harassment and mental torture I have closed my account which was itself a mental torture for me as it took 2-3 days on the name of process.

Unfortunately although the payment was made and money was deducted from my a/c, the ticket has not been booked. After the payment was complete, it was redirected to yatra.com where it said "Sorry, unfortunately there seems to be an error confirming your payment with your bank. Please call one of our customer service representative at[protected]." When I called your customer care, they said that the payment has not been received and hence no booking has been made. The customer care agent asked me to write an email to this address with my transaction details to get my money refunded after verification. Please make sure that my money is refunded as soon as possible.

Thanking you,

I have submitted all the papers/documents for opening of a trading account with SBICAPSEC on the 6th Oct 2009 and from 19th Oct 2009 started sending a mail on a daily basis to [protected]@sbicapsec.com to enquire the status of my application. But not even a sytem generated acknowledgement mail was sent. A cmplaint was also lodged to [protected]@sbicapsec.com. Only on 24th Oct the company sent a mail (the usual system generated mail) but no concrete commitment as to when they would resolve the issue. The TAT (turn around time) for other companies in the same line of business is max of 10 days. I now, for the benefit of unsuspecting victims of SBICAPSEC, advise all prospective clients to avoid this company.

Hi,
I am totally disappointed and frustraited by the customer services extended for SBI Credit card Customer care. I am a SBI credit card holder (Card no [protected]), and even before I started using the card an SMS informed me that a bill of Rs 275.75/- is due on my card. I called the customer care no 39 02 02 02 and the automated response system increased my frustration. It did not allow to interact with any of customer care representatives. After verification it only gave two option of 0 and 1. The 1 option was not working and there was no option to talk to custimer care executives. I called up the no for 5 times and the result was same. Then I called up the lost card option and requested the representative to guide me to the currect department, he did guide me to the automated response which I was trying for such a long time and no action was taken to solve my queries.

I am wondering is this the manner in which SBI Credit card division treats its customers ? Is this the procedure not to allow customers to directly interact with Customer care Exc and keep them puzzled with unwanted IVR system options ?

I am making one thing very clear, I am not going to make any payments untill and unless all my queries are answered. Please do the needful to update your customer care system. Also be aware of the fact that with this quality of services that you are extending to your customers will not keep SBI among the forerunners in the banking sectors to claim that it has the so called largest banking network in India.

FYI : I am going to circulate this mail to all my well wishers so that they don't fall in the trap of SBI Credit card.
