Unit Trust of India Mutual Fund [UTIMF] Complaints & Reviews

Unfortunately I had invested in US 64 bonds many years ago and was waiting for redemption from April 2008.I had given my account details to UTI branch at Chennai T. Nagar.This included cancelled cheques, a bank letter confirming my accountship which all had highlighted my bank account number.
Despite this, my bank received warrants from UTI with wrong bank account details.The ECS they tried never worked as they had used wrong bank account number. This was highlighted to them several times through several emails with different kind of responses.
The 24 hour Karvy line asked me to con tact them during day working hours only for details!
Due to work commitments, I tried to manage this online by sending a scanned letter of request but received no reply(letter attached).
The ultimate authority in Chennai for US 64 is supposed to be UTI technologies and it takes at least six hours to get through to them by phone and one gets a very surly response from them.
I am a busy professional hence I had to take leave and go to UTI Techno where I handed over my letter, the warrant cheques with my wrong account number and letter o[censored]ndertaking for duplicate cheque issuing with my Bank ratification on this transaction.
Several years ago as an innocent investor I put my hard earned money into US 64 expecting something from you.Neither has your returns been spectacular and your service has been substandard.
I have been investing for many years through many mutual funds and never have I endured this kind of poor service.
I need my redemption proceeds sent to my bank by ECS immediately.
I also need COMPENSATION for the time and money I had to consume to get to this point in getting my redemption as it was your duty to check the requisite data prior to sending it.
Suffice to say I will NEVER AGAIN invest in any scheme o[censored]TI and I will advise all my well wishers, clients and near and dear the same.
Thanks,
George.

SIR,
I AM ASHWINI MADHUKAR SONAWANE .FOLIO NO.[protected]. I GET ACCOUNT STATEMENT UPTO3-APR-2007 THEN NO ANY COMMUNICATION . I WANT DEATAILES, REFUND MY AMOUNT. FOR CONTACT MY MOBILE NO. [protected] .SEND THE POLICY DOCUMENT'S TO MY NEW ADDRESS 25, SHREE NAGAR, CHITOD ROAD, DHULE .PIN CODE 424 001

I had 1000 units of MEP1995 & 1000units ofMEP94. in 2003, i opted for conversion to UTI MEPUS units which were alloted to me.I send redemption request for these units in August 2007 but have not received the redemption proceeds till date. Karvy states that they are not able to trace my units . How is that possible. I sent the statement of account given to me by UTI. Please let me know the future course of action.

I was the holder of 600 units o[censored]S-64 scheme o[censored]TI vide cert.Nos.[protected] (200 units) and [protected] (400 units) as on 30, 06, 1993. The UTI declared a dividend of Rs. 1560 on these 600 uuits but the concerned official, instead of sending the dividend warrant (No.[protected]; MICR> no. 342440) to me at my usual address, sent the same to some other Mrs. Urmil Gupta at her address 21A, GH-10, Sunder Apartments, Paschim Vihar, NewDelhi, and she got the saame credited into her account No.8535 with Panjab Sind Bank in Paschim Vihar, New Delhi. When I did'nt receive my dividend for two months I contacted the UTI and they told me that the relevant dividend warrant had already been got encashed at Panjab Sind Bank, Paschim Vihar, New Delhi. When contacted this Mrs. Urmi Gupta of New Delhi admitted having received and encashed the said warrant but insisted that she was the rightful recepient of the amount relevant to the certificates which she was holding and that I should get in touch with the UTI to get my problem solved. It is pertinent to note that the dividend warrant counterfoil carries the certificate nos and the folio no. of the relevant holder and had she cared to tally the nos and folio no on the counterfoil with those mentioned on her certificates which she claimed she was holding, she would have realized the mistake. In any case the mistake was in fact on the part o[censored]TI who sent my warrant at her address. Since than I have been writing to UTI in this regard at different intrvals but the UTI never showed the courtesy of even acknowledging my letters what to speak of redressing my grievance.
Then durinf a visit to Chandigarh (3274, Sector 15D) din 2006, I personally visited the office o[censored]TI and expalined the who case to one of the officers there. As advised by him I submitted all these details to him vide my letter dated 02.09.2006 The gentlemaan assured me that he woud forward my case to the concerned quaters for further necessary action. Next month the UTI Technological Services, Plot No 3, CBD Belapur, New Mumbai, vide their letter UTITSL/ICC/legal/US64/2006-07 dated 16.10.2006 informed me that they had refered my case to their New Delhi branch at 174, Ist Floor, Rajendra Bhawan and I would receive a reply directly from tham.
When no reply was received even ater more than a year, I wrote an e-mail to that office on 19.12.2007 giving a reference to their New Mumbai office letter and requested that my due amount wlongwith interest be paid to me. As in the past, no reply was received . Once again I sent another e-mail on 24.03.2008 to this New Delhi office but again there has been no reply even after more than four months.I am a senior citizen who is fed up with the callous attitude o[censored]TI. Can you please help me in getting my due>
