Hi Team,
This is to notify you that my credit card has been charged with false transactions & i am not receiving appropriate help from the customer care.
I have made valid transactions amounting 3818 rupees till now in this month.
I check my card details everyday, yesterday i checked my credit card details online.
I saw an unauthorized transaction of Rs 751 done by by card.
I called the customer card they told me a couple of offline transactions have been done (500+200+50+1 = 751)
I specifically told the rep that the card was with me & i was at home.
We came to a conclusion that it might be a system glitch as swiping for 1 rupee did not made any sense.
The rep advised me to call again & get the amount in dispute as its currently in outstanding amount section.
Ticket No# 11012347882 was issued to me & the rep assured i don't have to pay anything from the amount of 751.
I check my account again today to see if the amount was moved to unbilled transaction in order call the bank again.
I was shocked to see the outstanding amount was increased to 5751 rupees.
I called the bank again to report the story & got my card disabled & got the Ticket - 11013454874
I told the bank to not to pay the amount to the merchant & put it in dispute (knowing that it is not the bank's policy)
If we pay the merchant & then decide if the merchant is fraud or not does not makes any sense to me.
I really need bank's support & guidance as the money i earn is hard earned money & can not afford to pay 9069 rupees when i have only spent 3838 rupees.
I was issued a gold card in the month of may in the year 2009 which was upgraded by the bank to a titanium card due my good credit history.
Till this date i have not faced any such issues & have not failed to pay a single bill. Everything has been done in an excellent manner.
I am really worried & considered in order to what will happen, i really request you not to pay the merchant & file legal charges against him.
Please contact me ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Manuj Bhasin
