SBI CARD No. [protected]

I remained as your card holder for about last 14 years and I am to inform for your kind knowledge that my card was expired on 11/2007, and no fresh card is issued to me so far. The matter regarding non issue of the card was informed on phone a fortnight back also and nothing is heard from you till this date. Kindly, transfer the excess payment remitted by me, as reflected on the statement dated[protected], to my A/C No.[protected], SBI, Ansari Nagar, AIIMS Campus, New Delhi. As you are aware, the matter is delayed considerably and even though I remained as your card holder since long utilized your services and paid for the same, the apathy shown is intolerable.

Dear Madam / Sir

Unfortunately I was a SBI credit card holder. They levied some unnecessary charges on my account and starting sending me mails and sms. So I paid Rs. 3500 to close the issue. I requested them that I want to forget the association with SBI Card so do not send me any sms or email or any statement. For which I was assured that i will not be sent any message from them.

But till date I am receiving mails and sms from SBI Card.

The number from which I received the message today is +91 [protected].

I have registered on my MTNL DND and I specially went to SBI Card website and register my self for the same DND there.

Still I am facing the same problem, which is disturbing my work.

My phone number is [protected].

Please take some action against these people.

thanking you.

I am Banti Chowdhury .I has a savings account in SBI Jadavpur University Branch. My account no is :- [protected]



On 27-12-06 I deposited an outstation cheque of Rs.3574 on SBI Jadavpur Branch. I use to regularly follow the account department for the concerned cheque. In reply they use to tell me that it will take some time. On this basis I waited for two months and asked the same to the accounts department. But the reply was same.

In this I met the manager of the concerned branch. He guided me to follow the accounts department only to get that cheque cleared. After this I came here in Chennai in the month of April and asked my younger brother to follow the matter. But it is also of no use.

I even send email regarding that to SBI Jadabpur (Email ID : 'sbi.[protected]@sbi.co.in') as well as to the "To The Manager,The Grievance Cell, State Bank Of India, Kolkata" ('sbihelpline.[protected]@sbi.co.in')

I didnot get any repply. Now I am hear to take action against it.

1. On 07.11.2007, I was offered Rs.56,000/- @ 19% p.a. on reducing basis. But, on the statement, interest was charged @ 19% p.a. on FLAT basis. I refunded a cheque No.201513 of Rs.56,000/- with a letter dated 30.11.2007, which was debited from my a/c on 04.12.2007. I also got my card cancelled.

2. Reg my problem, I contacted to SBI :-

26.11.2007 - Discussed with Ms. Mamta and Mr. Avinash.
30.11.2007 - Letter faxed with a cheque of Rs.56000/-
27.12.2007 - Discussed with Mr. Deepak (Complaint
No.NQ[protected]
21.01.2008 - Discussed with Mr. Prantik (Complaint
No.MQ[protected]
29.01.2008 - Discussed with Ms. Amrita/ Ms. Nilu.

All above only assured me to do the best. But, till now, no adjustment of Rs.56,000/- is made and there is no response from SBI. I am still waiting for my full & final statement.

I humbly request you to kindly arrange to do the needful.

with kind regards,

Dear sir,
I am having SBI Credit card Visa bearing No.[protected]. I am a regular payee of amounts every month. When I visited Industrial Exhibition on 12th Jan.2008 conducted by Exhibition Grounds Hyderabad from 1st Jan.2008 to 15th Feb.2008 every year, I purchased Samsung washing machine WA 78 K1 from the company stall by SBI credit card at Rs.9000/- (Rupees nine thousand only ) at about 19.46.43 hours. The said machine was supplied by the Rajkamal Electronics Pvt Ltd Chikkadpally, Hyderabad vide their Receipt No.SR-3, Date[protected] RK/03/341113 Invoice No.158795 GSR No.231020 GP No.28976 SE AIIE vide Adv.Rt No.1075 dt.12/01/2008. While swiping the SBI card he didn't get the payment slip because the paper inside the machine folded. He did n't notice the same again he swipe the card but he did n't get the payment slip from the machine because of the same problem At the third time before swipe he notice that the paper inside is folded therefore he did n't get the payment slip then he set right the same and third time he swipe the card then only he got the payment slip. I signed on one payment slip only You can notice that the transaction is one not three. The said information was told to your customer care center when called me on phone for flex pay. I clearly said the transaction is one time and requested to make the statement accordingly and agreed the amount to pay in flexi pay. When I received my monthly statement dt.25th Jan.2008 received yesterday I surprise to note that the same transaction reflected thrice on the same date and same time within the fraction of seconds instead of one transaction i.e., Rs.9000/-. I therefore, request you kindly to delete two transactions i.e., 9000/- each transaction and total comes to Rs.18,000/- delete from statement of amount i., 41,409.35 and show Rs.23,409.35 and send e-mail to me so as to enable me to pay the said amount within the stipulated time. I am very sorry that thrice the call center people called me for flexi pay and I have already informed about the discrepancy of the statement they told me that the said amount will be deleted while preparing the statement Inspite of repeated requests made by me they put deaf ear. Please inform their by giving SMS on my phone Number [protected] regarding the deletion of amount the actual amount to be paid thereby I can pay the entire amount before due date. Sorry for inconvenient caused due to you error in the monthly statement. Kindly do the needful. Your services are very good in Credit Card arena in the country.

SUB: BITTER EXPERIENCE WITH SBI CARD.

REFERENCE: SBI CARD NO. [protected]

Gentlemen,

This is to share an experience of what I should say "Bad Service" from SBI card. It all started with my request of an Easy Money Draft for Rs 22500=00 on 21.01.2008. It was told to me at the time of booking is that the draft will reach me within 7 working days. The draft was generated on 22.01.2008. But when it didn't reach me till 01.02.2008 I had called your SBI Card Helpline[protected] and requested for cancellation of the same vide. request no. MQ[protected]. Here, the 1st question comes is that if you are sending it through courier then don't you think 3 days is a good enough time to reach anywhere in India? Anyway, at the time of booking the cancellation request the person who took the request told me that I should not receive the draft in case it reaches me in between. Then I asked him how it has been despatched. That person told me that the draft will come to me either through Blue Dart or Overnite Express couriers. Accordingly, I had informed my family members not to accept any document of SBI Card coming through those two couriers. But I was astonished to see that on 04.02.2008 that draft came to me through registered post and naturally my family members received it unknowingly. Now my question is who is responsible for the whole incident? Why your representative misinformed me at the time of taking the cancellation request?
After that on 04.02.2008 at 10-40pm I had talked with Mr Sashank Kumar of your helpline. First of all I will tell that this person doesn't know how to behave with customers. That person tried to become oversmart and told me quite arrogantly that I need to send back the draft at my own expenses in order to cancel it. O.K. I agree, that may be your rule. But my question is why should I bother for a problem that is not created by me? I have serious objection on the way of his talking and when I was annoyed and said that I would rather close my account that person said" ok if you wish you can close it at this moment. Do you like to close it now?". Anyway the attitude that your people are showing is quite like the typical government employees. That person has taken my request for closure of my card account and the request no. is [protected]. Now, don't you think that the attitude of your persons is such that it seems SBI Card has enough customers and they don't need any more? My question is do you authorize such behaviour of your call centre people? If you authorize then I have nothing to say. But if you don't authorize then I must say that you are going to lose a significant amount of business in the near future because of such ill mannered employees.
Anyway, you can go through the record of my card account and think over whether you can really afford to lose such customers. But I would like to tell you people that don't think you are the only one credit card service provider and you are obliging us by giving the service to us.
I am also thinking over the option of going to the consumer court showing the callousness of your management.

Thanks

I had an gold SBI credit card. The statement for this card was sent regularly before the due date by SBI and hence i was able to pay the outstanding amount on time.

But 3 months ago, i was given an option of changing my gold card to plantium card which i accepted thinking i would have more benefits.

After this, I was not recieving the credit card statement on time and i was not able to view it in the website of sbi either. Because of this i was not aware of statement amount and also the due date. And so i couldnot pay the money. Recently i got a statement which again is after due date has the outstandi ng amount double than what i actually spent with the credit card. Those are interest added.

Please respond to this as soon as possible.

Regards,
Shruthi

I have been investing through a SIP in SBI Magnum Taxgain Mutual Fund for Rs 1000 per month (Folio No[protected]. The money is paid through ECS debit from my ICICI Bank account every month (Rs 1000 per month).

However, there have been THREE debits totalling Rs 3000 in a single month (two debits of Rs1000 each on[protected] and another debit on[protected]. I lodged a complaint through CAMS Online but nothing has happened. I also wrote to them but till now nobody has responded. SBI doesnt seem to care once they have the investor's money!

By the way, the Grievances form in the SBI Mutual Fund website DOES NOT WORK! It keep asking for a Customer ID and I dont have one! Although I filled in the Folio number in the form, it gives an error when I try to submit the form.
What should I do next?

I received a call from SBI credit card section fron Chennai. They explained me about the conversion of card payement into easy monthly installment wih less processing charges. I received the call on the first week of January 2008. I was interested to that facility and i agreed that facility and after that i got a gonfirmation call from the confirmation department. Later i have not received any statemnt related to that and I called customer care people to know the status of the facility(EMI). But the customer care people said the offer is not reflected to my account. So i paid total amount at a time. I felt very inconvenient about this. This is the worst service of the SBI card. I do not remember the name of the customer cae people.

I wish to complain about an offer for Health Insurance thru Sundaram Finance Insurance. The offer was made over phone by the SBI Credit Card customer services dept sometime in October 2007. I was told by the telecaller that the documemts for availing the same would be sent by mail to my mailing address and only after I had filled in the same and returned it would I be billed for the same. The documents never reached me but all the same I was billed for the insurance in my Nov 2007 statement. When i complained to your customer service they informed me that the entry would be reversed. This was done in the NOv 2007 statement, but was reinstated in the Dec 16th 2007 statement, where I am debitted for insurance that I have never availed of. I am debitted to the extent of Rs.3189/- for a service I have never availed. My SBI gold card no is [protected]. I would like you to look into this complaint with all seriousness and solve the problem at the earliest.

SBI is the best worst customer service i never faced. The way representatives speaking and the way they try end the call all are very very embracing.One incident happend for me is i applied SBI card around 6 months and that was approved but till i didn't recieve any card. Over i am keep on calling and following customer service but i am sure that i won't be. It's a really very ery bad service i never never seen and experienced.

I got the SBI Credit Card through some call center, she/he assured me that its a life time free credit card and there is no other charges until you use the card. I just believed her/him and accepted for Credit card. I received the card within a week or 2 weeks. I kept the card safely in my cupboard. From that time till now I never used it. Then I got a call from SBI Credit card devision that I have to pay Rs.8600 plus, then I explained the situation to customer care people.

“i.e after my acceptance I got a call from SBI call centre for Medical health insurance for 4500 ruppes per annual and this amount will deducted on monthly basis.

Till now I am not received any medical insurance documents from SBI Credit card devision.

After few days i got a call from call center for payment and saying that you need to pay so and so amount , but I said that I am not used my card any ware and till now I am not having PIN Number also, with out receiving Insurance document how can i pay insurance charges and other charges .

Now they are telling that I need to pay 8600 ruppes including late payment and intrest charges.”

I asked call center person, if you are a insurer, with out receiving insurance document are you willing to pay all the charges, but he is not replaying for this question.”


Today (29/01/2008 at 1:00PM) I called to customer care center and explained about the situation and logged case for cancellation, request #mq[protected].

So I am requesting you to cancel my SBI Credit card.
