Subject: Cancellation of policy and refund of money with penalty amount and interest accumulated

Hi,
This is regarding the subjectline, where I would like to throw light on inconvenience and suffer I have undergone.

I got to subscribe for the Artha Health Option Plan in the first week of August 2008 after your executive has made a promise of smooth and convenient health plan option. The money amount was told to me was Rs 998.00 towards one year health coverage, but the amount deducted was Rs. 1998.00.

Above all, you have failed to send the kit and card. I have given call earlier in Jan and didn't received it.

Taking into account, this I would like to draw your attention that I have paid for the service which I didn't get.
Service is about serving it in time.
It has been more than 7 months, and you have failed to respond. In the first place it has failed the very intent of service for which I had vouched for.

Request you to revert back my money with accumulated interest asap as the money paid is unutilized and unserviced.


Thanks & regards,
Hemant

I have also been cheated by Artha Options. They are a bunch of thieves.
You will only see them till the time you pay the money. After making payment they cease to exist.

Im member of artha. My card number is 06 46187.

I've taken this artha membership last year by paying Rs. 1994, by June 2008.
While their representatives enrolled me for artha membership , I was not informed anything about the continuation of membership for second year.

But oneday, a person(addressed himself as manager) from artha called me up and informed that membership is getting extended for second year. I didn’t agreed at all to him, but he have immediately taken Rs. 1994 from my hdfc credit card, which i have given for the first year membership

Im going to file a charge dispute against this transaction at HDFC.

Please suggest me in this. Can you take any action against them.

How they can simply use credit card credentials for such unauthorised transactions.

Thanks in advance.

You are not new I am facing the too many problems with this company this is the most fraud medical insurance company I have ever seen, how many of you are agreed with me ?

Hi,

I bacame member of artha health options in May 2008 after irritatted by their calls and force to join as they were telling ab big big services. I didn't use any of the service throughout the year. Then next year also their called me in June 2009, I told no I don't want to be a member of Artha. I didn't use it also. Again they were forcing why you don't want we will give big service this year and all............ I said no pls don't call me again.

After two months, July end I suddenly got two smses that Rs 1994 and Rs 2993 got deducted from my credit card at Artha Health......... how is it possible...... when I don't swipe, don't confirm anybody then how can they deduct money........ What permission RBI has given to Artha Health........ I don't know..........they are big fraud....... how can they deduct amont from my credit card. I am going to F**** them......... By the time pls get those frauds and punish them badly.......

I am Kranthi. For me also same thing is happened, they debited total of 42k from credit cards, i dont know where to complaint and how to get the money back, some body please help me.

Hi People,

Please don't with artha health in your life. They are the biggest cheaters i have ever came with. They call you for your option renewal and get your credit card details and do the transactions intially and then do additional amount of transactions without informing you. This happened with me this year for about 10 thousand rupees. Since I was member of artha for last 2 years I wanted to extend the membership and they told I will be charged 2993 for extension and then they deducted 2993 more saying that I will get 2 full health check-up coupons. I was ok with this point.

Suddenly the next day they call me and say we will be sending you the coupons and just wanted to confirm the amount that I have paid and say a total of around 9k is deducted from my card and I was shocked. When I asked why 9000 as it has to be only 5986(2993+2993) they said that the 5986 for card renewal as I will be getting gold card and the additional 2993 for health check-up vochers and after fitting with them they told since inconvenience happened as they can't do the reverse transactions they will extend my membership to 2 years instead of one.

The after couple of weeks I get a call saying they will be sending the vochers and the amount deducted was 13k+ and I was really shocked because nobody told about the additional 4000 amount deductions.

I really don't know what to do now. Now I am at the receiving end... I am really confused and I really feel sorry for myself as I am in such a helpless situation.

Please don't go with these artha guys,.. they are really big cheaters like country club and other clubs. They are here to lot the public. I have decided that I will never ever go with guys for anything. Now they have started a new venture in real-estate. I really don't know how much they will cheat there.. Here I am lotted in terms of thousands. God save the people if they are going with these guys in real-estate.


Be careful guys.

Cheers,
Ram
