I held a HDFC Bank account since 2004 and a HDFC credit card since 2006 which I closed in September 2008. My credit card number 4346781100140912 was under settlement between April and September 2008. I honoured the settlement to its entirety as per the stipulated schedule. However, from May 2009 I started receiving calls from your bank's collection agents using verbally abusive and derogatory language asking me to pay the oustanding amounts even after paying the entire settlement amount.

The bank also deducted an additional amount of Rs 7018.10 (Rupees Seven Thousand Eighteen and Ten Paise Only) on 21st May 2009. However, the harassment did not end there and it continued.

On the 17th of September 2009, I got a call from Mr. Sandeep on behalf of your bank who assured me that the entire outstanding against the above mentioned card would be nullified provided I pay Rs 3100 (Rupees Three Thousand One Hundred Only). For safety purposes, I have a recorded clip of my conversation with Mr. Sandeep.

Post the conversation I deposited the said amount of Rs 3100 (Rupees Three Thousand One Hundred Only) on the 19th of September 2009 through NetBanking.

However, HDFC bank does not seize to harass me mentally and the entire amount of Rs 7250.36 (Rupees Seven Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and Thirty Six Paise Only) in my account has been held by the bank.

Because of this the EMI's that were due did not get withdrawn as stipulated leading to a financial loss of Rs. 200 (Cheque Return Charges) and a further of Rs 350 (EMI Late Payment Charges) and unimaginable mental harassment and torture.

Dear Sir,

To sort out such kind of Banking complaints, you will have to send a written complaint to the Head Office of the concerned Bank and wait for the response for near 15 to 20 days. If the Bank fails to provide you any help in that time frame then you can send your written complaint to the RBIs Banking Ombudsman division.

I had appllied and received a credit cards from HDFC bank . they hadn't properly intructed me in the mean time i didn't get my cards bills, i noticed from SMS that company had heavyly charged me unnecessarily. I requested for bills again and when i received the bills, i was shocked to see an amount of Rs.2000/- charged me unnecessarily. i complaint for that ammount but they told me to deposit Rs. 2500/- in credit cards account then we will waive off your Rs.2000/- (charged ammount) and that time i had deposited Rs.3000/- in my credit card account and they waived off that particular ammount. in the mean while(April2009) i had visited chandigarh and done some shopping but i realized that time my card not activated from them. when i came back after one week and called recovery centre for activation of my card. that time my due ammount was near about Rs.20000/- inclueded all charges. because my card was not activated hence i didn't deposit any money.

I was asked from recovery side to deposit Rs.1000/- but it was not sure wheather my card will be activated or not.but still i was ready to deposit the amount but due to my personal commitment it delayed one or two days and same time i recieved a call from recovery side and she misbehaived me and quoted me " AGAR APKI AUKAT NAHI THI VAPIS KARNE KI TO PAISE KYO KHARCH KIYE " to this i got annoyed and didn't deposit any money. then i recieved a call from RITIKA from recovery agency and she appolozied on behalf of her. then i deposited Rs.1100/- on her request in my account and she promised me waivedoff all the charges and activate card also within 15 days.

Nobody ask me up for a month thereafter. then i received a call again from RITIKA and she asked me a deposit balance amount. I required about the waived off charges which was pending a fault from them and i again requested card which was not done. she declined to give any waiver and insisted me to deposit the money.


then after a month a representative of recovery channel came with the due amount of Rs. 28000/-. He asked me for submit Rs. 5000/- and sattle for card acount. But I Refused for the same.

After few days,I received a letter form their Credit Card legal cell and immediatly I called up their mentioned number but same she didn't give me good response and she told me that your card will not be activated and if didn't deposit their full amount you will not get any banking service from HDFC. I was very tense that time and i didn't understand, what to do now. I again received a letter from HDFC BANK and mentioned their Mr. LALIT no.09317782417. I called up his no. and discussed all that things which was happend during that period. he promised me to clear all the dispute and sattle with Rs.20000/ but after two month I've also one opend new salary account in HDFC BANK and Credit Card department Hold my salary which was company cradited Rs.25,204/- on 30th july. after that i again called up to Lalit, he told me that i couln't help you but do one thing to call bank help no.9815331111 and registered your compaint now. I call up their they told we didn't handle cradit cards queries so ragistered your compaint on credit card centre01724694332.I ragistered my complaint their and Executive MEGHA told me that someone call you from our side within two days. when i didn't get any call from their side,I again called up and another Executive DEEPALI told me same wording. Nobody call me and I have received a letter from HDFC CREDIT CARDS DIVISION. And my balance amount is within one year 38,405.98 I shocked to see their amount and realized bank charge me up to 50%. now they want to sattle with me hold that my particular amount Rs.25,204.00 but also said if you will not pay your all pending amount, always you will be defaulter of bank and will not get any any banking services.

I have a credit card with hdfc for the last 2 years. The credit card company provided me health insurance in the name of Bajaj Allianze which is now HDFC ergo. While renewing the Insurance, HDFC ergo customer care promised to waive off Rs.3500+ finance charges on my hdfc cc, if i renewed with them as i found hdfc ergo premium too high in comparison with other policies.They promised that the reversal will be done in any of the 2 following statements, which did not happen. As a mark of protest, i stopped paying the credit card dues which include only the mediclaim premium. Now, i am even ready to pay off any balance with them on the condition that they issue me a letter beforehand that my name will be removed from CIBIL or any concerned authority defaulter list, but HDFC CC dept. is not ready to issue such a letter.I request you to guide me for the same

i got my credit card 3 months before. i dont know much about that. they called and told like one policy is activated like that in the beginning. for last three months.i called customer care and to cancel that. from the first month itself they said like its already cancelled. now it comes around 1700. one day i go directly to bank and cancelled that. now it says like i have to pay the three months premium along with 30% of 4500 something. i dont know about these things... now when i ask about customer care. they didnt respond me. they just cut my call or take the phone and didnt speak. its too irritating. if there is thing to pay like this. why you didnt tell to customer before taking the policy itself. its really feels cheating me. now i decided to cancel my credit card.

tell me the procedure to cancel my credit card. i want to cancel it soon before u charge more.

Hi, 'am Navaid Siddiqui from New Delhi, I've been getting unwanted calls for issuance of credit card from HDFC bank on my no.9560099302 since long. Today it was on extreme, I've received call thrice within a span of 4 to 5 hours, though I'd refused everytime but last call from 011-47611914 was very weird when i said i'll lodge a complaint against you (the guy named himself as Naveen) he started abusing me and both of us used foul language later on I got a call from no. 011-47611914 the gentleman calling from this number named himself as Mr.Deepak and titled as Sr. Manager of HDFC bank, he started abusing stating that why i was fighting with his colleague and later on he threatened me also.
It is my sincere/genuine request to customer care deptt. of HDFC bank to take serious action against such employees who do not behave properly with customers. Am very old customer of bank, taken a PL & using credit card also, since am using all the services of bank it is your responsibility now to take strict action against these callers, whether they are from bank or dsa/csa/franchisee. If i'll not get revertal in a week's time 'am going to escalate this subject to higher authorities, if required i'll go to consumer forum, court & media too. I just want to understand when calling of promotional offers is banned then why these callers are giving such frequent calls even though i had refused for the offers 'coz am already holding HDFC Bank credit card.

Warm Regards
