Dear Mr. Santhanam,

Thanks for sending the messeger yesterday, to communicate the message. Your messenger, walked into my office sharp at 10.00 am and left at 12.15pm. A good 2 hrs 15 mins, he spent and communicating the message and repeating the message in different sentences. Ultimately, sending the same meaning and same message. While he was communicating the message to me, it reminded me one scene from the Blockbuster, Amithabh Bachan, Rajnikant, & Govinda Movie HUM, where in Amitab tries to convince his friend in a godown, while he (amitabh) was drunk, not to go against the Villan Bhaktavar (Dani Denzoppa) and his dialogue, which he repeats n number of times in that scene, "Is duniya me do tarah ke kakroach hein, ek vo jo gandhe nalise paida hota hai, aur ek is samaj se, gandhe nali ke kakroach ko marne ke liye HIT banayagaya, magar samaj se jo paida hota hai iskeliye koye hit nahin." Fortunately, I knew your messenger at personal level, so he tried to play the act of amitabh and i his friend and Citi as Dany. He kept on reminding me that if u continue with your efforts as you are doing now, i seriously doubt, ur well being. His hints were very clear, if i try to insist on my rights, I may be eliminated, in accident or otherwise.

In most of the instances, I used to record the conversations, either video or voice recording, but this time i did not do it yesterday, why you know? The war ethics says, you should not touch/arrest/hold captive the messenger. He had come here, on behalf of Citi to communicate what can happen if I go ahead with my issue.

So I showed him and said look at the judgement copy of State consumer Forum, (attached with this mail), it speaks volumes in the last para of the judgement, the judge accuses me of "It seems some complaint is pending against him for misappropriation of OP1's Funds.” To come to this conclusion, at the admission stage itself, either the documents which I had attached should speak about it or the Judge has imagined out of blue, but the structure of the para and sentence, speaks differently, it seems it has been dictated. so this essentially means, the Judge had consulted Citi people otherwise this type sentence can't come, to substantiate this, the kind of hurry/aggressiveness started post 15 days of judgement, speaks volumes, about the close nexus, corruptions at each level. What you are saying is already proved one. The kind of reply given by Ms. Jayashree also gives the impression that Citi can buy any one who is salable.

I never thought, Citi will stoop to such low level. What kind of Nodal officer are you Mr. Santhanam? Can't you control your officers? My dear friend, that was the last time that Citi tried to play the spoil sport. Now, listen, Jo ukhandna hain ukhadlo, mein to app logonki naak me dam karke he rahoong. App logon ko apne kartootonkeliye, aap ke ghootnope khada karke hi rahoonga. Oont Pahad ke niche lake hi sans loonga. What best you (I mean Citi) can do, you will kill me right? kill me, if that happens, believe, Citi will be forced to wind up India operations. One more thing forgot to tell you, check the application form that is filled to open the savings accounts, in that, savings part is fully completely filled by me, but where as the ready credit and Credit card part, it is filled by your officers, and as per Section 19 of Contract law, (Voidable Contract), the contract between me and Citi does not exists, since, that part is filled by your officers, so forging of documents. Now, as per this section, whatever the dues are there gets nullified. That means I need not to pay even single paise. In a nutshell the Citigroup attitude can be said as, "Chori aur uparse Seenachori? " or "Ulta chor kotwal ko datein? " kotwal to mein hoon. Believe me if i die in accident or otherwise, Citi will be held responsible. My family, friends, relatives know one thing about me, come what may, Arun will strive for justice, he will never comit suicide. If some one finds me committed suicide, it will be presumed as killed because Arun faces the situation and will never commit suicide.

Lastly, my kind request is that if you want to solve the issue seriously, ask your on-role employees to get in touch, I will not entertain any more collection agency people. secondly, while they come to me they have to bring all the solutions to all the issues/points raised, otherwise dont waste my time.

Dear Jayashree,

What to say? This time you replied in just 2 days, because, the content of the mail has hurt someones ego. Good, as long as customer is showing patients, CitiBank takes the customer for ride, it is least bothered to the concerns of the customers. It takes its own sweet time to answer, but, when the customer runs out of patiense, and writes a mail which hurts the ego of the employees, u people reply within shortest time. If u want, Check it out yourself, every time i sent the reply, the immediate reply used to be your concerns are under investigation please bear with us for 3 days or 4 days whatever, but this time its just 2 days to reply? Wow unless ur egos are hurt you people are not ready to bother right? Im still having patients, dont worry.

Now about ur tall claims that CitiBank has adhered to the IBA & RBI norms and it has done nothing wrong so on so forth that you have mentioned in your mail dated 6-Aug-10, dont you think whom are u fooling, me or yourself? Since, you have claimed that Bank has followed all the norms strictly as laid down by IBA & RBI, tell me under what section and clause of IBA &/or RBI, the bank can send a hired cop to visit customers residence? under what clause it says that "Bank has every right to send Arbitration Notice to customer post Arbitration date? " because the Arbitration Notice letter was dated 12-Mar, and the date of Arbitration was on 20-Mar, and it was posted on 25-Mar from Delhi, which ultimately reached me around 2-Apr. Further more, "Under what clause of RBI, or the law of the land, does bank is authorised to issue threat for existence, of its customer in the even of default, the proof of which (call recording) has been mailed to you in Nov communication itself? "

From the above just 3 incidents, I can say that whatever you have claimed in your mail dated 6-Aug, is false claims, and bank never adhered to the RBI guidelines. Most importantly, why are you not ready to answer point by point for each of the concerns/issues raised by me? If the Bank has done nothing wrong then why it is hesitating to answer point by point? This clearly shows that Bank has abused the law of the land, knowingly it has misused the police force (by hiring), to pressurise the customer.

You have also claimed that you have provided the clarification for the issues/concerns/points raised by me, when, where and to whom did you provided the clarification? Its absolute and blatant lie. Im disgusted to find the the reply provided by you on 6-Aug-10, contains lot of mis-informations, lies, diverting the attention subject matter, mis-guiding, mis-leading, false claims of adherence and respecting the guidance laid down by RBI and law of the land.

I don't know, "kis mitteke baneho aap log? " Agar aap sachmuch bharatiya honey pe naaz hain, to istarah ke ghande harkate mat karo, khudakeliye, kuch to sharm karo. Arre yaar, ek veshya, ko bhi laaz aur sharm ho ta hain, magar, CitiBank officials keliye O bhi nahin hein. Besharm ho ke kehre ho ki, humne sab sawalaonka jawab de diya hain. Khudse poochlo, kya tumne sab sawalaonka jawab diya hain?

Hume kisikeliye nahin zina hain, hume sirf apne liye zina hain, zab ghar vaapas zatein hainto, chain aur sukoon ki neend nasib honee chaayiye, agar, O nasib nahin to samzo, humne hamar kaam theek nahin kiya. Aap logon ki ravaiya dekha kar, besharm ko bhi sharmayegi, kumse kum abh to sudharo, aur is tarah ke behuda, uttar mat diya karo. If you can't provide the proper answer, then please dont reply, its better not to reply and by sending a reply and say "Aa bile mujhe maar" In kannada, "Angai torsi awaman madisikondru."

This reply holds good for everyone marked in this mail. If you can't address the issue properly, then please for Godsake dont even bother to reply, don't waste your time and my time. I have other channels to get justice.(Im not threatening, since, I have left with no other option, I have to seek justice)

You people have not yet answered for the mail which I had sent to you on 30 Dec-09, which is mentioned below in this mail. Lets see how much time you take in answering the mails. I want proper solution to all of my questions and queries. Point by point.

There has been casual approach from you side on my case, or just to pull on kind of attitude. so this is what u call as customer service? Insulting/humiliating the customer, and no regrets from your side for all the mistakes that you people have done to me, and shamelessly still approaching the customer to recover the money.

Dear Jayashree,

Either u dont know english or I don't know the language that u understand. You people have been giving me the same old reply time and again. Why are u silent and not answering the questions posed to you people? Its clear from your communication that, by maintaining the silence on the misdeeds committed by the Bank and its official, you are acknowledging that bank had done all that insult and damage to the customer which is lawfully illegal. And are not ready to repent on the misdeeds. Im sorry, Im rejecting your offer for settlement, because Im not a begger to take settlement.

I have already communicated in writing that Im ready to pay the whole amount and to the last piese. Then whats the problem for you people to come out and say that "Yes the Bank had taken all illegal means to force the customer, indeed the bank has abused the very right of living as per constitution of India of the Customer. Hence, the Bank is ready to do all that to restore his good image in the society, which the Bank has ternished."

This is what exactly Im looking forward to. "Dont expect me to be Mahatma Gandhi by slaping me on one cheek, to show another Cheek. Im the follower of Bhagat Singh, Azad, and Subhash Chandrabose, so naturally, when you raise the hand to slap me, I give warning, stating that what u r doing is wrong and illegal, but inspite of that if you slap me then in turn you have to be ready to take the same."

Dear Pradeep,

As discussed with u just now, Im forwarding u this mail, hope you will come up with proper solution i mean end to end solution, point to point solution. This essentially means, accepting the mistakes owning the responsibility for all the mishapes happened from Citi. It also includes to the fact that for misusing the law for personal benefit of citi by its officers, knowingly that the proceedure they are following is un-ethical and illegal.

Looking forward for a positive development.

Dear Banker,

This is with reference to your email dated May 11.

I understand the extent of inconvenience caused to Bank in this regard and regret for the same (because of my defaulting in payment) and the losses that bank might have incurred due to non payment by the customers also.

I'm extremely pained to note the losses caused to the bank due to non payment of the loans/credit cards by your customers as a result of non payment.

RBI records & your profit and loss statements indicate that, you have written off such huge amount in the FY10

Since, we are also in the same state of affairs as the bank is, thankfully, once during 2008 and 2009 when the bank was about file bankruptacy, Uncle SAM came to its rescue, however, for us there is no uncle SAM who can come to our rescue.

Hence, as the bank tendered apology for insulting us and our humanity, and asked us to forgive it for its offence, we too tender the same apology and ask the bank to forget the dues. If its acceptable to the Bank then the Bank has every right to put the apology. If its not acceptable to the bank dont expect the customers to forget the insults the bank has done.

Bank does not have any authority, to issue life threat or threat for existance, in the contract, i never signed any such agreement, which clearly, states in the event of default from my side, the bank can issue life threat or threat for my existance, or mis use the law of the land, bribe the police person and bring him infront of my house, create ruccus, neither i had signed stating that bank had been authorised to close the Court Business hours before I come to the court.

Hope the bank understand and accept our stand in this regard.

I assure the bank of my best attention at all times.

I had always said Im ready to pay, its the Bank which is delaying by not giving proper solution for all its mis deeds. Im not going to listen to any thing exept for proper solution as demanded by me.

Dear Bankers,

The case has been filed and the case no is 158. Lets see in the court. As had not received satisfactory reply, I was left with no other option except approaching the court.

I had given you enough of time, every time I wrote, the standard reply given by you, "was pls bear with us as the matter is under investingation, we will revert in 3 to 4 working days." But that 3 to 4 working days never turned up and I never heard any revert on any occations. On the contrary, you never forgot to send remainder sms or calls for collections of overdues. Its interesting know, that you slap yet dare to approach the person for recovery of dues. One has to learn from your bank, what collections and recovery means, its nothing but goondaism, rowdism, and shameless activity. So I was forced to approach the court to get justice. With all evidences, I had approached the court, the voice recordings, mail communications, etc.,

I don't expect any more sms/remainders in any form regarding the recovery of dues, as the matter is sub-judice now.

Hi Ms. Seema Jagadish,

Im sorry to say that your apologizies will not suffice the damages that the bank and its officers, have caused to me, its not monetory terms its more of physchological, its pain, you people know what it means of charging a person U/s 406 and 420, illegally closing the court hours before the timing, sending a police cop infront of house without any complaints? Lets meet up in court.

I also apologize, for not paying the amount in time, then why you ask? It can't be right, so it equally applies to you also. Don't slap on cheek and ask apologizy. It does not suit good for a corporate world. Life is simple, if you eat salt then you have to drink water, so is it? The words apology, sorry carry weightage with it, you people use it so casually, without valuing it. Stop using these words, people should respect the organisation when it uses it, they should not feel the way Im feeling now. Be ashamed of yourselves (no personal charges) before using such polite words.

We understand that, one of officer Mr. Babu had contacted you and you have not agreed for the settlement of Ready Credit account outstanding. However, you had informed that, you will pay the Ready Credit outstanding, whenever you have the money.

Accordingly, you had paid an amount of Rs. 2, 000.00 towards your Ready Credit account on February 27.

We once again regret the inconvenience caused in this regard.

We thank you for your patience and co-operation and for giving us an opportunity to redress your grievances.

Dear Banker,

I have given in writing to you people that, I will be paying the full

amount with interest, then how come your officer Mr. Nagendra lied to

you that I had agreed for settlement?

Do you believe, whats given in writing by customer is true or the oral

communication of your officers? Then tell me why should i contact,

Mr. Nagendra, who had lied to his own organisation regarding this case?

I don't trust and believe him, since he has lied to his organisation.

When he can be unfaithfull to the organisation, then how can he make

any justification to me?

You people have not yet answered for the mail which I had sent to you

on 30 Dec-09, which is mentioned below in this mail. Lets see how much

time you take in answering the mails. I want proper solution to all of

my questions and queries. Point by point.

There has been casual approach from you side on my case, or just to

pull on kind of attitude. so this is what u call as customer service?

Insulting/humiliating the customer, and no regrets from your side for

all the mistakes that you people have done to me, and shamelessly

still approaching the customer to recover the money.
