Citi Bank
EMI of Loan Against Credit Card

Dear Sir,

I have a credit card issued from Citi Bank card no: 5546 1969 3703 6008. I had taken Loan of Rs 2, 19, 000.00 in December with monthly EMI of Rs 6548.00 for 4yrs. I start to pay the EMI of Rs 6548.00 from Checks of my ICICI Account. In Feb I fill the form to register for ECS clearing for Balance of EMI's and the same has been confiremed by citi bank that your ECS is activated and from Month of april the EMI will we debited through ECS from ICICI bank.

But this will not happened and when I checked the statement of ICICI bank for April there is no transiction made from Citi bank. Immediately I write mail to customer care of citi bank regarding the reason for no transiction of EMI through ECS.

Citi Bank replied to me that there is issue regarding the ECS registration from ICICI Bank and we sent letter to get the ECS register. After that there is no reply from Citi Bank and when I speak to Citi Bank in June they Asked me to Deposit last three month EMI (April to June) and after that the rest of EMI will be deducted through ECS and I do the same. But again when I checked and found the EMI's are not debited from my ICICI Bank Account.

I again write mail to Citi Bank for the above issues and problem I am facing. First they add late fee and additional service charges and ask me to pay these charges along with previous EMI's. But when I give them details regarding all the communication i had made with Citi Bank they ask me to pay only the EMI's of previous month by cash or check and after that the EMI will be debited by ECS.

But after that I had recevied mail from Citi bank that the your Loan account is pre closed and you need to pay the whole amount at the earliest.

I spoke to Citi Bank and write mails about the problem but they reply we are unable to rebook the loan.

But on 20th Oct thay debit Rs 14, 588.00 from my ICICI Bank account through ECS as minimum payment due against my card out standing balance.

Kindly look in to the matter and help me resolve the issue. I am able to pay only EMI's not the whole amount.

Please refer to the attached all the mails I have wrote and receeived from citi bank.

Thanks

Dear Madam,

With reference to your email dated Oct 05 the loan has been preclosed from your side.

Since during the last few months the delay in payment toward the outstanding amount is not my fault which will be clear if you refer to earlier mail records.

During this period I have made payments to the bank against Card out standing dues after discussion with Citi bank and assurance given by bank that after paying the amounts the next EMI installment will be debited through ECS.

However for the balance out standing amount I will be able to pay by EMI option only. So I request you to continue the Loan out standing through monthly EMI's.

So Please confirm the same at the earliest. Also I am in process of getting details from my banker regarding issues pertaining to ECS registration.

In the mean time I will pay the installments by Checks till the registration of ECS.

Please comeback at the earliest.

Thanks

With Best Regards

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thanks for your reply.

As per my discussion over phone today with Mr Gaurav of City Bank it

is clear that three installments are due till date i.e. (* From July to

Sep 2010*). So total amount which I has to pay is of *Rs 19, 644.00* with out

any late fee, etc.

However inspite of 20th Sep Mail, the bank had never ask me to contact

with my banker for registration of ECS, also Citi bank confirmed me about

the registration of ECS and no need to pay installment through checks from

April onwards. Further when I make a call to bank at end of June

they asked me to make payment of Rs 20, 000.00 to complete the out standing

dues and then from July onwards the installment will be taken by

ECS, but till date the ECS is still not activated and bank had also not made

any communication regarding the issue until unless I will initiate by

writing mail to you.

So I only pay *Total Amount of Rs 19, 644.00* toward my Installments for last

three month. Any penalty or late fee will be not attributable to me as this

is not my fault any were.

So I request you to kindly made arrangements to make the reversal of late

fees and other charges from my account.

Note: (After paying the above amount the total 33 Installments will be

completed out of 48 installments any only 15 installments were left.)

Thanks

With Best Regards
