Dear Sir,

Sorry to inform you, but Bank has the right to recover his money. For such kinds of complaints we can't challange any Bank in Consumer Forums.

Hi,

1) Can the banks do this even if they themselves have said that the salary account and loan account are not linked? 2) Also, when I requested Citibank to take my personal loan amount from my suvidha account since I didn't have the time to pay them in cash, they said it is not possible. I've made calls about this to their customer care center.

3) This same citibank has taken the amount from my account in the past and suddenly, when I told them to take it this time, they said that the RBI has passed a notice whereby they cannot use my salary account to make payments henceforth. But, suddenly one day kaboom, they did seize my salary account when least expected.

I'm totally confused and do not understand what is right and what is not. 4) I've asked for a document from the bank stating they can take this amount, because all the documents I have do not have this information, but the bank plainly refuses to respond to this request of mine.

5) Also, I have complained to them about a court notice I received and noone at the customer service department even knew about that letter.

6) Worst thing was that I used to receive calls for my payment, but when I called the customer service department, they did not have my cell number updated. This all is scary. I don't know who called me then.

7) The customer service once told me to make the payment online and when I tried that too, my account number was not going through.

8) Citibank gave me the number of an officer to talk to about my payments. He suggested a settlement and then while we were talking to him about Rs. 35,000, nearly double the amount was taken away from my account.

I'm sure there must be some way out of all this!!! Can the banks really seize your salary account especially, when you've already been complaining about things?

did this got solved for you?

i s RAVI MOHAN debit card no. 4181 5700 4013 4111 made transaction in AXIS BANK ATM at ramanthapur, RR DIST.

do the needfull consulting the AXIS BANK ATM on that date.14.12.2010, amount left with in the ATM machine,
debit in to my ICICI BANK SAVING ACCOUNT.

A bank is taking shelter on the rules and conditions which are blind to the naked eye and illegible to read and understand. I am informed that such terms and conditions illegible to read have no legal force. I may be thrown light on this aspect, if there is a judgement of Supreme court to that effect, pleas inform me the details at brv_25@yahoo.com.

I have a savings account with icici bank & in the beginning of this month on 5/11/11, they put lien on my account for an old pending payment of 30,547 on a credit card i received the letter from bank on 13/11/11....initially icici bank agreed for settlement of my dues for amount of Rs. 9,800/- .which they again denied by their end itself by letter ref. no. CC/4477469815984003/111/325649 dated 8/11/11. I tried to settle the payment with Icici credit card department , which they again agreed but this time they told to pay total Principal due of Rs. 16,240/- after putting the lien on my account. Which they gave me Settlement letter ref no. cc/4477469815984003/1111/328273 dated 14/11/2011 this time for Rs. 16,240/- , i gave a auto debit letter to them as guided by dept head Mr. Anup Prasad for debiting my lien account with Rs.16,240/- only and release the lien. This time after a span of 24 hours Mr. Anup came to my office and took the Original letter he gave me telling that their is some grammatical mistake in it and would rectify the same and would give it back in few hours , which actually didn't happen and my savings account is still in lien. After telephonic conversation regarding the same with Mr. Anup prasad he told me that the settlement is denied again and will have to pay full dues then only lien will be released. & I cant even pay them before the hold is removed as i m facing financial crisis since last few months. I am the lone earning member of my family & presently I am into a grave financial situation put into by icici bank..Please suggest asap what can be done........I know that bank can put lien on the account for recovery of payment but there was a Supreme Court judgement 2-3 yrs bk stating that the service provider cannot recover its money forcefully...now the bank has put the account on hold & when I contacted the bank branch, they told me that I have to pay it or they will put the account on lien forever...please suggest what can done in that case.......

I have a savings account with icici bank on which they put lien on my account for pending payment of 84,502 on a credit card .I did not received any initimation from the bank . I tried to settle the payment with Icici credit card department but they were not very keen i believe in doing this . After telephonic conversation with the credit card customer care , it came to my notice that according to RBI guidelines , bank has full right to put a lien on saving account without any intimation to the customer .

Firstly i would like to know the website address of the same where its written .

Secondly I would like to know till what time they are going to put a lien as its been more than 5 days and i have been calling them again again but they are not responding . I cant even pay them before the hold is removed as i m facing financial crisis since last few days . I know that bank can put lien on the account for recovery of payment but there was a Supreme Court judgement 2-3 yrs bk stating that the service provider cannot recover its money forcefully...now the bank has put the account on hold & when I contacted the bank branch, they told me that I have to pay it or they will put the account on lien forever...please suggest what can done in that case.......
