Dear Team, This is about how HDFC has been charging me and then tricked me. If yes, would you be kind enough to tell me why there have been so many deductions in my account # [protected]. I have not used that account in years. I have sent multiple emails to you asking to close the account. If I visit a branch they tell me that I have to get my bank account transferred to their branch and then only they can close my account. Then you put my account into negative by penalising me. Your team lied to me by saying that if I deposit money then they will waive the negative amount and I can maintain the minimum balance and there won't be anymore deduction. So last week I put 15K into the account. The negative amount got balanced and your team didn't help. Now you have been charging me with something like the below every two days. Soon my account will go to negative again because you keep feeding yourselves on my money like a leech. Is there any difference between you and the extorters ?? Do you have any idea about when will you stop this harassment and cheating? Regards, Sujit.

      In my case misbehaviour is an understatement, the customer care agents were not only rude they were crass. They were talking to me in the most informal tone and as if I am their servant. In fact I don''t even speak that way to my maid and car cleaners. I got a call from the no. [protected] which was supposedly from the Janakpuri Branch. I spoke to 3 different people- a lady Avanti, a Senior Manager Rajat Bhatia and a third person who did not disclose his name. I am late in making my payment due to some personal reason and for that the bank has already charged late fee an finance charges which I have accepted. Now they call me everyday and when I told them a chk has been dropped this woman says chk toh ATM mein pada rahega cash nahi dal sakte the?? is this how u speak?? and this unknown person has was the rudest of all he says "Tumahre jeb mein paise hain?? jeb mein paise nahi hai toh card leke kyon ghoomte ho? " I mean just look at the language and other than that their tome was so bad it was a total verbal abuse. Irrespective of what the person''s background is in real life as long as he is calling me as a bank''s representative I am the customer and he HAS to respect me and speak cordially... How dare he take that tone kya kar logi and all... the agents literally lick our feet to open an account and once we do are they supposed to treat us like crap?? I really want something to be done and rest assured I will take up this case and spread in as many forums and social media I can...this is not done.

          Dear Sir, I am having savings account with HDFC and I have never been intimated about these AMB changes. Since one month I see that they are deducting 516 RS every alternate days. As of now they have deducted more than 8k. I have now transfered all the money to other account till the disoute is settledown. Please see the below audit. ug 2014 IB FUNDS TRANSFER DR-[protected] 26 Aug 2014 19, 259.00 562.2025 Aug 2014 AMB CHRG INCL ST & CESS FOR MAR2014 25 Aug 2014 561.80 19, 821.2022 Aug 2014 AMB CHRG INCL ST & CESS FOR FEB2014 22 Aug 2014 561.80 20, 383.0018 Aug 2014 AMB CHRG INCL ST & CESS FOR JAN2014 18 Aug 2014 561.80 20, 944.8018 Aug 2014 AMB CHRG INCL ST & CESS FOR DEC2013 18 Aug 2014 561.80 21, 506.6016 Aug 2014 AMB CHRG INCL ST & CESS FOR NOV2013 16 Aug 2014 561.80 22, 068.40001 Apr 2013 Credit Interest Capitalised 31 Mar 2013 3.00 155.32 I need to understand how can they deduct the money without even intimating the customer, I get so many spam mails from HDFC, why can not they send the right information. More over when I had a problem with the super saver account I had called HDFC customer care and complained about them when it was opened and the customer care representative told me that it can be used as zero balance savings account. Now I see that they are harassing by randomly deducting money. Please guide me in taking this forward, as I dont want to loose money to these online thieves. Thanks. Harsha

          Dear Sir,

          My account is a salaried account. How can you deduct any amount on the name of AMB CHRG INCL ST & CESS FOR SEP2014. I can see there are other customers as well facing same problem. This should not be done if you would like to retain customers.
          Please guide me in taking this forward.

Regarding the below trail mail I could not get any kind of response from you. At the time of taking policy Company Representatives and officials came to me for many times, but after taken policy and having issue and problem either of the people is not responding. Is that I made mistake for believing the Private Organizations and HDFC Group and its Staff. Don't you give response and caring for the existing policy holders? I was cheat by your company representative because of his unethical practice and lack of your company mechanisms. Again and again I am requesting that your representative was taken signatures on empty form confirm that it was singly payment policy, I was not filled up the Application form and I have not get any confirmation or welcome call from the company regarding the confirmation of the policy details. Request you to go through the below trail mail and respond to my concerns. PALLERAHIM MUSTAFA KHAN [protected]

I have paid 13 EMI and due to my financial difficulties i was not able to pay it from past 9-10 months . i have every intention of paying it but my situation is not i can pay it right now. and because of which my account has been transferred to the collection agency. Now the collection agent named Akshay and other recovery agents from hdfc bank started calling me i in formed him my situation but he kept forcing me some how i arranged some money Rs 1500 to pay him and told him that i will start paying it as soon as i can he again started call me for the same not ready to listen anything and forcing me to pay. i couldn't answer his few calls and he started calling my married sister and her family( which is a serious violation of RBI guidelines) i informed him not to contact my sister or her family as its a violation of the law. He agreed and said we will never contact you sister and her family ...after a month or two he again started calling my sister and his family member who has nothing to do with me and started harnessing them stating he don't know who we are and we will do this and that. i called him again today he started being disrespectful and when i told him that you have violated the law again he said do whatever you want to i will continue doing this and keep calling your sister and her family and everyone. He also stated that bank supports such illegal collection activities. He kept calling me repeatedly again and again and also my sister and brother-in-law and his family also called my cousin and informed him about my debt. I emailed banks loan support and i haven't got any response from them yet its been 3 months and they also threatened my sister and my brother-in-law that he will send police agianst me creating the panic her family.

                              Sir, I had taken a policy - UL Endowment Winner with HDFC life. The policy number was 12635839 which was started on 13th February 2009. I have paid premiums of 50, 000 / year for a three years but due to lack of funds I couldnt continue the payment. Just when I was planning to break the policy and withdraw the money I invested, Sachinkumar (Direct Sales Manager - TAD, HDFC Standard Life Insurance company ltd, M: [protected], E: [protected]@hdfclife.in) called me in January ending 2014 for a meeting to discuss about an alternate plan where I dont loose out on the cancellation amount and he can arrange for two installments to pay my last 50, 000 for this plan. He came along with Prashant Mundhe (Yet another Direct Sales Manager - TAD, HDFC Standard Life Insurance company ltd, M: [protected], E:[protected]@hdfclife.in )and convinced me saying that the funds accumulated in my existing policy could be transferred into a debt policy and I just need to pay 25000 in Feb and the next 25, 000 in Aug and I dont have to pay any further premium. All funds of the previous policy would be utilized in this new policy and I would get better returns on policy maturity. They created a new policy for me - HDFC Life Classicassure plus, policy no[protected] and provided me the receipt of INR 25, 000 which I had paid to them. They said that I would get a confirmation call but you can say that you have understood all terms and are ready to go for it. Since they are employees of HDFC Life (They also provided me their business cards) I assumed everything is good and I proceeded as they had told me to.A few months later when it was time for me to pay my supposedly last payment of Rs. 25000, I called up the call centre just for a verification about the same and was shocked to know that my old policy still continues as it is. The new policy started off at the initial 25, 000 which I had paid and is for a period of 10 years (Premium paying terms of 7 years). The last payment which I was about to make is for the second installment for year 2014 and this will continue for 7 years !! Thats not all. This policy is non-cancellable. It seems that there was a 14 days period after the policy is made where we can cancel. After that we have no other choice but to continue. I was unable to comprehend this. I tried calling Sachin but he was always not reachable by phone. I wrote a strong letter to customer service (Complaint No. [protected]) but they reverted to me saying they have done a thorough investigation and they dont find any issue and that they have my signatures at all places verifying that I know what the policy is about. I wrote back saying that they should stop the auto debit from my account for the next installment as I dont want this policy. There was no reply to that. It was good that I knew which account would be debited and I kept insufficient funds in that account. Day before yesterday I got a call from the bank saying that an ECS transfer request is going to be declined due to my insufficient fund and I was glad that the second payment didnt take place. Had it been any other honest company, they would have atleast stopped the ecs transfer thinking that the customer is not happy with the plan, lets stop the autodebit till the entire issue is solved. But thats not the case with HDFC Life.I want to cancel this new policy and I also need my 25, 000 back. This is fraudulent way of selling policies by giving false information and promises. By doing this, HDFC Life is spoiling its own image in the market.

                              Dear Mr.Rao,

                              We have noted your concerns and our team will contact you shortly.

                              Hi HDFC Life,

                              A quick update:

                              From today I am receiving calls from people mentioning that they are from HDFC Life. Details are 1) Rahul Chauhan (Mobile - [protected]) and Gunjan Verma who are calling me from another number - [protected] and [protected]. They say that I need to pay an extra INR 10, 000 to a partner company of HDFC Life which is for security deposit for cancelling my policy[protected]. Out of this 10, 000 in one weeks time they will refund my 9, 500 Rs, 500 Rs would be deducted for agency fees. Apart from this my entire amount of 24999 along with interests would be refunded and the policy would be cancelled. They are not willing to give me any proof of this in documents (Letterheads or emails). They are simply mentioning that they have my file with them and to process it I need to pay 10, 000 immediately. Please let me know the Genuineness of these calls. Is this really HDFC Life calling me or someone has taken my mobile number from my post above and are calling me in the name of HDFC Life.
                              Hi HDFC Life,

                              Thank you for confirming in a private message that this was a Spurious Call and they are not connected with HDFC Life.

                              Coming back to the main topic, Aruna from the grievance department of HDFC Life called and once again said that there is nothing from your side that you can do. She also did say that she would forward to me the legal department address to discuss further. After the call no such mails have come with the required information.

                              Can you please explain, what is a non-cancellable policy? Now that the second premium was not debited from my account what is the further actions you would be taking? When a consumer is repeatedly mentioning that all documents were being taken after providing false promises and the consumer has no funds to pay for all premiums for the rest of the years to come, you as a well known insurance company, what are you going to do to extract money from such consumers?
                              Hi,

                              You have sent me a private message mentioning that my policy status is now as "surrender".Please let me know what procedure must I follow to get my refund of my premium paid? Awaiting your speedy reply.

                              Thanks.

                              Sandesh
                              These people are just dodging around saying that the "Surrender" status is for my other policy. The problematic policy is still "Inforce" status. Isnt there any way we can communicate to these people that we dont want the policy? Can someone advise what steps can be taken so that HDFC life doesnt send bogus agents to fraudulently create a new policy by giving false promises and false information? This marketing method is wrong and will just bring you frustrated customers. Do you really want to build up your business with unsatisfied customers?
                              HDFC Life have outsourced their marketing activity to some lame third party company and this third party (just to reach their targets) goes out to make new victims giving out false promises. Never expected this from a brand like HDFC. This just shows how low a company can stoop down just to fulfil their sales targets. When troubled customers call the call centre, the only reply they get is, you should have read the terms and conditions properly. Even my ECS mandate form was forged with my signature on it. No reply from them for that.

                              Their company punchline which says "Sar Utha ke Jiyo" should have been "Sar Katake Maro"

                              For all those people who are looking out to buy a new policy from HDFC Life OR planning to encash money from existing policy that has matured, please beware. HDFC will send out some one who will stick a new policy to you giving all false promises and before you even realize it, you will have a new policy which is LOCKED for a good amount of years.

                              Also, if you are a troubled customer of HDFC Life, please see the link below where people will call you from some company claiming to be HDFC Life and on the pretext of solving your problems will find ways to make money from you. (This too would be the same lame third party companies that HDFC Life has outsourced sales activities to)

                                  HDFC BANK at Bangalore Richmond road does not have parking facility for customer nor its employee.
                                  Customers suffer for parking place, most of the time from traffic police who takes away their bike. i dont know how RBI has given the permission to HDFC BANK.

                                  Kindly some one solve this problem or cancel banking license for HDFC BANK at Bangalor, Richmond road, salco center building.
