To: loansupport

Having received no reply on the mails in three months, no option but stopping of payment of loan remained with me.

please note that, I have make the stop payment of the loan and will soon be closing Savings bank account as i do not wanted to deal with the bank which do not reply to basic queries of the customer.

please do not make any follow up regarding loan, unless my quiries are answered point to point and i get to know the level at which my complaint is discussed.

i have complied the mail commununication below, which clearly show the irresponsible replies from customer service division of HDFC Bank.

I am forwarding print outs at HDFC head office, to CEO of HDFC and to all the regional offices of HDFC bank. I am also forwarding the bunch of e-mails to all leading dailies and news channels for the reference.

This is only for your information and i do even expect the proper reply from your side.

This is you who is exaggerating.

Tell me why a person takes a loan?? because he is badly in need of money. Now he is deprived of the money, is this the small issue??

Further, if mistake has happened, why your system could not locate it?? why i have to run here and there to tell you people that i have not get the money.

You are living in the competitive world, if you cannot deliver, pls do not be in the business.

And add to it, my demands are small and crystal clear, i want to know at level my complaint is discused and handled. I dont know if somebody is hiding the facts to procet somebody.

My stand at the moment is clear, untill I get the proper reply from the RESPONSIBLE person, I am not going to pay my instalment.

Further, pls update ur Ashram Road Branch Manager on the issue, as I will be visiting the Branch for the closure of my account tomorrow.

Do not write anything in reply to this mail, I do not know who/which designation is writing.

From nowonwards, pls take customers seriously.

Best Regards

Dear Mr. Gotecha,

With reference to your e-mail dated November 12th kindly note as follows:

Closure of your Salary SB Account No. 0691050140415 can only be allowed after the mode of repayment of Personal Loan Account No. 11599779 is swapped to alternate Post Dated Cheques or debit-ECS.

Any act by you in withholding payment of EMIs will rank as a wilful default and result in accumulation of penal charges (Rs. 450/- per bounce of installment and overdue interest @ 2.5% p.m.). This will also result in approriate action for recovery by the Bank, entirely at your risk and responsibility.

Apart from what has been outlined above, we have nothing further to add in the matter. Your reaction to the slight delay in disbursal of the loan (for reasons already stated several times) appears to be exaggerated and no worthwhile purpose will be served through the protracted exchange of mails.

Warm regards,

Customer Support

Dear (I dont know)

Request to kindly read my mail history.

My question remains the same.

1) agreed the mistake happened, why I have to run here and then to locate mistake done by the Bank?

2) Why nobody took a pain atleast to inform that mistake has happened?

What level the complaint is discussed and who is taking the stand on my compliants?

When you design the rules, pls keep the rules same for the customer and the bank, will you allow me delay my instalment even for the day???

Decision cannot be taken by the defaulter (sales manager).

Pls speak on all such issues raised during the previous mails. wanted you to escalate the issue to the highest possible level and rever with the escalation chart.

Pls take your time in replying, but reply with the point to point to my compaints and concerns.

Dear Mr. Gotecha

With reference to your e-mail dated October 29. We regret to understand that you have been left with a feeling of dissatisfaction in your recent interactions with us.

We once again reconfirm that the services of the Sales Executive who handled your case have been terminated.

The matter has been explained in depth by our Sales Manager and a letter issued to you.

You are requested not to stop the clearing of your monthly installments. Pending installments will result in your Loan Account getting classified as overdue, which could affect your credit history and is violation of term of agreement.

We wish to assure you that it is our constant endeavour to ensure that each customer interaction is made pleasant and satisfactory so that your relationship with the bank is strengthened.

We would appreciate if you would kindly treat the matter as closed. We treasure your relationship with the Bank, and look forward to a long and continued patronage.

Pls refer my mail for god shake, i have asked to write the name of person writing to me and one who has taken the final stand on the issue. Over the phone, I have also informed the same and the officer calling was having no answers to some of my basic questions.

I will only be satisfy when i get reply point by point (pls put remarks) under my each point.

If the mistake happened from your side, why i had to run to locte that mistake has happened?? What will happen if I make the mistake???

If your system is under fault, why am i one who is suffering??

Pls reply me on each of the point at the earliest with the authority who has taken the final stand.

Otherwise, I dont see any reason in paying remaining instalments of my loan and will discontine my savings and fixed deposit account with the bank.

I am not going to pay for the loan at all. I will not pay any instalment from now on. i will pay instalment on the annual basis??

How come you just let the troubles happen to me by just saying the apology?? I have lost my credit to the party and have lost continuous gain i was getting?? your apology signed by some junior does not have any meaning.

It was after five days of continuous follow up and pains, i have been able to get the disbursement. and so called ur department never lifted the phones, right from the junior to the senoir most.

There should be punishment for whatever happened and i should get compensation for whatever pain i have undergone.

Kindly send us the e-mail id of your regional and corporate office. I need reply from higher ups.

I think Bank is geeting fun out of the issue.

Have received the stereo-typed apology letter with Ref No: RA/CSD/CSE2/702 dtd August 10.

Letter is written in the name of Mr. Amitabh Sinha (I do not know who is he!!) and signed by someone else. Is the bank making fool of its customer??

The letter further say that officials have explained the things. I have never received any explanation and have asked to explain the matter only in WRITTEN. How can you say the matter is closed without confirming with the consumer?? why wrong information is given and admitted by customer service??

I have raised query point by point as given below and expect reply Point-by-point.

Please do not waste my more time on the stereo-tyed replies and revert point-to-point and set the timeline.

Havealready raised matter on core.nic.in and on non-receipt of the satisfactory reply, will furhter raise to the appropriate levels.

Have asked for the e-mails and ids of the State/National Heads, which never been given from your side

1) Applied for HDFC personal loan through Net

2) Call was received from lady - Sweta telling that she is calling from HDFC Bank directly.

3) Documents for the loan collected on 06/June and loan was approved on 08/June.

4) A SMS was received on 08/June regarading the loan approval and approval number is 11599779

5) Agreement was signed on 11/Jun/07 (Monday) morning and three cheques were submitted.

6) It was promised that amount of loan will be deposited on 12/Jun.

7) No amount was received on 12 june. Not even on 13 june

8) There was consistent no replay from the number of Sweta who co-ordinated.

9) On calling phone banking for more than 3 times and visiting Naranpura branch, there was call from Sweta telling that they have made mistake in calculating EMI amount and fresh trhee cheues to be issued.

10) Fresh cheqes were issued and it was confirmed that amount will be credited by 10am on next day.

11) In anticipation of confirmed deposit, cheque was issued to from the account.

12) Had to request to the party two times to not deposit the cheque.

13) Again on 14/Jun, no amount was credited

14) Visitednearest Vejalpur Branch of HDFC Bank.

15) They have given number of officer. Officer had told that it was mistake on the part of DSA the incidence had happened, and promised that he will try to deposit the loan before banking hours.

16) Loan was depostisted ultimately at 15.40 on 14/June. THEY CALL IT EXPRESS LOAN. That means, amunt was of no-use on

cont from last...

14/June also.

17) Subsequently, cash amount was to be deposited in the account of the party.

Consequences:

1) The incidence badly affect the credit. 17% interest was paid only to ensuretimely payment to the creditor.

2) Consituous two days wasted on follows

3) Bank should repay for amount of time, money and enry wasted on follow-ups

4) Bank should clerlfy the actions taken on the officers

5) Loan cannot save the credit, that means should be made interest free

Dear Mr. Gotecha,

Thank you for your e-mail dated November 13.

As confirmed earlier, closure of your Salary SB Account No. 0691050140415 can only be allowed after the mode of repayment of Personal Loan Account No. 11599779 is swapped to alternate Post Dated Cheques or debit-ECS.

Any act by you in withholding payment of EMIs will rank as a wilful default and result in accumulation of penal charges (Rs. 450/- per bounce of installment and overdue interest @ 2.5% p.m.). This will also result in approriate action for recovery by the Bank, entirely at your risk and responsibility.

Warm regards,

Customer Support
