Respected Sir,
I am the customer of ICICI bank having saving bank account at Bangalore cantonment branch (A/c. no: 625201512733) as well as credit card account. I used my credit card at one POS center (Pakshi Readymades) at Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu on dated 24.10.2008 for Rs.378/- (Three hundred and seventy eight only) later I came to know the sum of Rs.2362/- (Two thousand three hundred and sixty two only) additional amount also debited in my account wrongly. I registered complaint to the same to concern office and re-credited in my account one month later on 20.11.2008 for the delay period they charged Rs.400+49.44(s.t.) in my credit card account. But I claimed that amount through ICICI mobile banking they assured to reverse the wrong amount charged by them immediately and block my credit card as per my request.
I issued cheque from my saving account of Rs.4000/- to my house owner on dated 25/05/2010 and it got returned with the return memo as “Insufficient Funds”, but my previous account balance was Rs.4,122.06/-. I came to know that my account balance was freezed /debited due to penalty interest not remitted which they assured to reverse. I really very much vexed in this regard and I brought to the knowledge to the ICICI bank, they did not reply properly and informed to contact various place with out proper reason. I don’t know to whom we have to contact to get remedy for this charges debited in my account without prior notice. I humbly request you to take this matter with them and to re-credit my account immediately.
This is for your kind information.
Currently i am working in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu.

Dear Sir / Madam
Ref : ICICICARE=038-158-357' level2complaint/ Savings Account
I received your mail regarding my credit card complaint. Thanks for your reply.
The reason you sent to me is not convincible. As you told you are having all the rights as per credit card agreement for set-off my credit balance account it should be intimated to me. But really I did not receive any intimation thru e-mail or account statement received stating to debit my account for the reason above mentioned. If you have the rights to debit my savings account towards charge/penalty for my credit card why don’t you debit on the same month or atleast within six month period. You have purposefully accumulated the charge for the period more than one year and debited my salary account that too with out my notice. Due to your action I unable to honor the commitment to my house owner to pay the rent because cheque was bounced. You kindly verify both my savings account and credit account for the long period did I pay any late payment or default in any case. I really seek you good self to clarify and reverse the penalty charge as a special case.
Thanking you
Regards
R.Nandhakumar
