State Bank of India [SBI] Complaints & Reviews

SBI collection team is the worst in india..........they hire all the dirty illeterate people,who dont have manners to talk to anyone not even females............i would request people not to get SBI credit card.....it pathetic

i have given all necessary documents required for gold sbi card but after getting documents i have no reply from branch (dadar) bank as i also received verification call .

I along with my wife are maintaining a saving account no. [protected] Cust ID no.9288774 & [protected] Cust ID no.9288772 in your branch at Jalandhar near State Bank of India, Opposite circut house, civil lines Jalandhar.

I want to close these accounts and with the reason visited your branch in the IInd week of December 2007 but I was told to visit your Branch adjoining Narinder Cinema, Jalandhar because our saving accounts were attached with Demat facility.We signed 2-3 forms alongwith application for closure & handed over to the person concerned( do not remember the name). After that I visited your branch 2-3 times requested to close the account as your bank is regularly debiting my account with penal charges but no one listen to the request of the client. After that I was approached through your call centre for having a credit card. I requested the Madam calling me that we should apply for a credit card and she will help me to close my saving accounts. I once again gave application alongwith with 2-3 forms for closing the account to some one Mr.Harish(Mobile No.[protected]) but of no use. You may check the applications for credit cards must be lying with you and have also not received the credit cards also.

I am very much surprised that no one is ready to give a receipt even on the carbon copy of the request letter and simply tell every time that your account will be closed with 2-3 days but never closed the same and continue to debit my account with your charges. Every time when I visited your branch a new person appears on the seat where I originally submited my application for closure of saving account and I have to explain to the new person the purpose of my visit.

Now I am making this complaint in a hope that my account will be closed under intimation to me so that atleast I can save the money lying in my account and further assure you that I shall never see HDFC Bank again and even tell my hundred of friends regarding the functioning of the HDFC Bank.

1. One fine day in Aug 2007 I received a demand draft by post at my residential address for Rs 34000/- in Aug 2008 for which I had never given any consent. It was totally against my wishes. I immediately called SBI Cards Call Centre which advised me to return the draft. The said draft was returned to the SBI by post under intimation to their customer care office. From late Sep 2007 onwards I kept on receiving calls from SBI, almost daily, for payment of outstanding amount. In Nov 2007 after my repeated requests the said amount was reversed but the interest amount plus late fee on that interest amount (which has accumulated to Rs 10000 approx from Aug 07 to Mar 2008) continue to be reflected in my statement.

2 In this respect I would like to mention that there is no coordination between SBI cards, Legal Cell and Customer Care of SBI. Customer care assures me everyday that they are processing the case and in the interim they will direct their legal cell not to the harass me . They had even given me undertaking in Nov 2007 through E-mail that they are investigating the matter and will resolve it soon. Almost five months have elapsed since then but the matter has not been resolved. On the contrary I am being harassed and being mentioned threatened by their legal agents that appropriate legal proceedings (prosecution) will be initiated against me if I fail to clear the outstanding amount. I am being mentioned with adjectives like “ defaulter, fraudulent, with malafide intentions, etc

3 I would like to mention that instead of penalizing the person who posted me that draft without my consent, the SBI is harassing me through their legal department and solicitor.

4. This has put me under lot of stress and made a High BP patient with enlargement of Hear muscles due to tension.

Hi,
I'm Vikram Kotian I've A/c in SBI Bank in my Branch on March 8th, 2008, I've deposited cheque in Drop Box Provided in the Bank. But still after One week I cannot find my cheque and hasn't been honoured.
The Bank Employees are not in any position to trace my cheque and the reply has not been satisfactory from them. This the sheer case of the Banks Sloppy Work as they are answerable for Misplacing that too my Salary Cheque because of this stupidity I've to stop all my transaction of my utility Bills.
The Attitude of the Employees also very sloppy as they do not have any accountablility for their work.
So, I strongly recommend to take the legal action on them so this can't be repeated.

in the statement which has send to me by sbi cards simpli they hd charged lot of money without intimating to me,and also the interest calculation is wrong.i had paid almost half the amount of my due before the due date still they had taken interest for the whole amount,about this i had called to the customer service for the reversal of charges but negative was the repli,they are telling just pay the cash or cancel your card any one you can chose nothing can be done more than this

I was holding SBI credit card bearing no. [protected](now cancelled). I was making prompt payments before the due date. During Feb 2005, to my surprise, I received a draft for Rs 36, 500/- without my consent.However, I did not encash the draft and the same was returned to Delhi office.Since then, I have been getting payment reminders towards dues with heavy interest.I was getting many calls asking me to clear the dues.
Now I have been served a lawyer notice asking me to clear all dues with an ultimatum or face consequences in the court.As per me, dues prior to the issue of draft have been settled which is duly acknowledged by SBI credit cards.
In view of the above, I am lodging the complaint with you.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Subject: Re; Misleading information and Billing For Credit Card.

This is in regard to the Credit Card which I was holding with your bank. My Particulars are:

Chandigarh-160019
Mobile: 91-[protected]/91-[protected]

Through this letter of mine I would like to bring to your kind attention towards the harassment and discomfort being given by your Bank and staff members to me and my family members due to which I am suffering a lot. If these kind of services we are getting from your bank then I must say I and my all the family members and relations will withdraw all the savings Accounts, FD’s and credit Cards of your bank as I don’t have much free time to deal with these kind of problems with your bank which now have become the daily routine of your bank and staff members.

I WAS holding the above credit card of your bank till 21st October 2007 when I tried to use a transaction on internet and on 21/10/2007 the card got blocked and I received a call from your staff member that Your above card is blocked due to some security reasons and you will be getting a new credit card with in one week time. After that I didn’t received any credit card from your bank till date but still I am receiving the Bills from your Bank every month without any single usage. I talked about this to one of your executive on phone and he said the new series is not there that is why they have not issued me the new card and I have given them instructions on phone as well as in written to your bank that now looking into your really bad services I don’t want your Credit Cards and I should not receive any Bill When I am not having any of your single credit card. I have already paid all my Bills till the date the card was blocked.

I and my family members are also having savings Account in your bank with Chandigarh branch. I am a regular customer of your bank but I am unable to understand this, why just for the sake of some incentives your staff members are making fool of the customers.

Your bank was also deducting some insurance charges every month from the same card for which I have not given any consent to your any executive of your bank. I am really facing the harassment with the services given by your bank. I would like to request you to stop sending me the Bills for which I have not used your card from the day 21/10/2007 it was closed. I don’t want to avail any Credit Card facility from your bank.

Herewith, kindly stop all the Billings and Reverse all the Charges which I am receiving till date with immediate effect as I am not at all be able to pay for the bills which I have not used. Kindly stop all the bills and issue a NO DUE CERTIFICATE. Unless if the immediate action is not taken I will left with no alternative and I along with my Family members and all my relations assure you that all the services of Savings Accounts, Fixed Deposits, Current Accounts, Investments, and Credit Cards will be WITHDARAWN with immediate effect and will be forced to take this matter to the media.

IMMEDIATE INTIMATION TO BE GIVEN TO ME THROUGH MAIL/POSTAGE IN WRITTEN

Warm Regards,

In my latest SBI credit card statement (March`08), I found two transactions of Rs 32290 & Rs 460 were charged against me which I had not made. Card authority adviced me to send the complain through dispute form on 2nd March. I downloaded the dispute form from their site and e-mailed the duly signed scanned copy 3 times, sent FAX 4 times and hard copy through Speed Post twice. Already 8 days have passed. Still they have not confirmed me regarding the acceptance of documents. Already I have spent lot of money for doing all these things. Every time a new person receives the phone call and tells me new things.
Why so ? Creating doubt ! Mentally torturing me.
Immediately revert the amount from my statement and inform me, otherwise I am going to take drastic action.

Dear Sir

This is to compalin about the ridiculous services of SBI,New Delhi,Dwarka Sector-6 Branch.I deposited a cheque for 9000 rupees on 13th February at SBI Dwarka.As it was an outstation cheque (Bank Of Maharashtra;Cheque number:17252),I was informed that it would take about 14 days for the cheque to be deposited in the account.I have complained about it four times by visiting the bank as it is 23 days since I deposited the cheque and as nobody cares in to pick up the phone and answer.
This is the height of poor customer service on part of SBI Dwarka branch and I am very sure that i would not need their services in the near future.

Dear Sir,
This has reference to the Platinum SBI credit card, Ref No.[protected], dispatched thro' Elbee courier. The courier ELBEE refused to hand over the card to me on showing proof with the Ration card.

I have received your INLAND LETTER CARD which states that any one of the documents listed in the letter can be shown as proof for collection. But to my surprise when the delivery boy from ELBEE came to my residence he refused to accept the Ration Card as proof. Your letter was shown to him but in spite of that he refused saying his office has instructed him not to honour Ration Card. The courier cam e to my house at VASHI, Navi Mumbai to deliver. The boy gave me the number of one Mr. Narayan said till I ask SBI to instruct to e-mail saying that Ration card can be proof for handing over. I told him I have cards from Multi national banks received on the same proof. I even went to the extend of saying as a customer I am going to request SBI to change ELBEE as a courier. He never heeded to my request saying that unless he receives the e-mail it is going to be returned back. I have written my comments on the courier receipt chart as well.

Request your help to resolve this issue

Dear Sir,

Sub: billing for non used Credit card No.[protected] – reg

I have already cancelled my credit card and sent the cut pieces of credit card to credit card operations along with my letter. I have not at all applied for credit card nor used your credit card. I have not also applied for SBI Insurance in writing since I have not received any application for that. Once a man telephonically told that he will send insurance form. After applying only it will be credited from card. But I have neither received the form nor applied for it. Still I am getting Bills for the credit card mentioning Flexi pay etc. So, once again I am requesting you to cancel false billings coming to me in future and stop harassing like this.



Yours Sincerely,

Dear Sir,

I had a SBI Credit Card ( No-[protected]). SBI issued two cards, one in the name of A.SEN and one in the name of ARIJIT SEN and both the cards had the same number. The card named A.SEN landed up in the hands of Mr Atanu Sen and he used the card and defaulted and without doing anything I landed up in trouble and became a defaulter.

Thereafter Mr Atanu Sen settled the account but that didnot solve the problem and increased the worries in my part as I've become a defaulter.

Mr Atanu Sen admitted to SBI that he had used the card and I got calls from SBI Gurgaon that I'm not the concerned person but when asked from a confirmatory mail from their part I was deprived of so.

Request you to pleae help me in this regard.

I have scanned copies of both the cards and a letter given to me from SBI cards which states that as per the declaration of Mr Atanu Sen the amount is payable by him as he has used the card.

Regards,

Arijit Sen
