State Bank of India [SBI] Complaints & Reviews

I have made repeated complaints on my card to the feedback.[protected]@ge.com and head.[protected]@ge.com on changing my status of charging me for a lifetime free card. I have requested them to cancel my card and confirm, but all I get is silence. I cannot talk to anyone other than a cann center executive who cannot do anything or even let me speak to someone more responsible.

It is irritiating as they are not bothered or are unable to handle the complaints.

SBI is a well managed bank, but SBI cards are another story. I wonder who I should write to? Can someone given me the email or phone number of their MD or someone who can resolve the problem?

New Delhi

I had very bad experience with Tata Credit card.
I havn't received my statement for one month hence could not pay.The followup till I pay my bills from the RECOVERY agents were worst.Every 1 hrs recovery agent used to call me just to irritate me eventhough I told them to send a person with bill and I shall pay entire amount upfront.
No one had come with bill instead keep calling me every 1 hrs.

Reversal of temporary credit Rs 13313/- is wrong in SBI Card satement when the bank debited the same amount from IABE, USA ( to whom i have sent my card details and accordingly IABE made transaction for registration fee to register for the IABE International Conference. IABE operated my card twice and the SBI card showed two transactions with same ID.Subsequently, applied for SBI charge back process))paypal account through chargeback process. Without crediting the amount to my account, SBI card debited the same amount in october 2007. Since then, till now not settled the problem inspite of many requests regularly. Since then wrong billing is being shown in the statement making all interest charges etc. SBI card continuosly insisting me to pay dues. Making phone calls, puting me lot of mental agony and distrubing my work. I have been paying regularly EMIs for the original transaction - flexipay amount Rs 1231.70 per month( against Rs 13, 197.82 ie US 315 dollars in Aug 2007)

Hi,

I too had a trouble with SBI card !

I made an application for Sbi card during Dec/2006 . As I left India on that period, I put forward a request to customer service to cancel Sbi card that I delivered, but not opened or transacted.

After July/2007 occasionally(not every month though), I am getting an email with statement carrying 3xx Rs.

To clarif the curiosity about the amount stated, I called cutomer service to know more about my account. I got reply the amount charged(250 Rs.) was for an insurance, which I knowingly did not signed for.As I believed SBI and could not even think of it as an insurance for an unopened account.

So I asked the customer service executive about the Insurance policy number for wich I need to pay . Reply I got was, they do not have any insurance policy number . But still I need to pay for it.



Did any one face issue like this before?

My complaint is this that I already paid the balance amount which was due on 12th may 2008, On that your department is charging late payment charges. If i make a payment before due date like i deposited my cheque on 5th May 2008 at Badarpur in ur branch. then also u will charge late payment.



I don't understand i[censored] get the payment before due date in ur branch then also u will charge late payment, and after that from last 2 months I didn't get statement on time even in june i didn't get the statment, and in july i get the payment yesterday only on 7th july. Did you think that i will made a payment on time. and on that you will again charge late payment. This is the service I get from ur end Its totally ridiculus. I will take this matter in consumer court, if my problem is not solved asap.



I hope u will take it seriously, and revert back to me asap. so that i continue with you or otherwise i will cancel my card.



Thanks & regards

This is regarding the non working of all SBI and its Subsidary banks ATM'S in Chennai on 13 of July 2008 Sunday. All the ATM'S were not working for more than 26 hrs the reason network failure. Why is a bank like SBI with huge deposists and cash reserves not able to restore services within hours like private banks. I had to literally cancel all my pland due to this as I couldnot take money out. I literally travelled 20 K.M S across chennai. Nor was I able to take from other banks. This is not the first time this is happening. This is a regular feature of this cheating bank.I have suffered lot and I want SBI to compensate for the problems and the stress i faced.

Dear Sir,

On[protected], in the evening I had withdrawn Rs. 5000/- from SBI ATM in Ghatkopar(E) between 8.30 pm to 9.30 PM. I have a savings account (A/c no : [protected]) in SBI, IIT-Powai branch.

When I checked my account balance online on Monday[protected] in the evening, I found that 5000/- has been debited TWICE (i.e. in all Rs. 10000/- ) against my account with same ATM transaction no. (3936)

I had already given a complain letter regarding this, to the Customer Relation Officer in SBI, IIT-Powai on Tuesday, [protected]. Also, I had gone to the bank on Friday[protected] to enquire. But the Customer Relation officer told me to wait for 2 days.

The fact is that, till today[protected] I haven't got my money back.

Sir, Please look into this matter or please guide me what should i do?

, Sir
My name is Johnson Richard Tirkey with the SBI card number [protected].Its been over a year now that i have stopped using the card now due to some unsatisfied reasons. The primary amount that i have spent on the card till the time i was using the card was approximately[protected] INR. Since the time i have stopped using the card i have been talking to executives for the closure of the account and for the final settlement and its been approximately 10 months now.I have been facing undue harrasement of the customer care executives calling from the Gurgaon office (infinity towers) and asking me to pay my minimum monthly payment.
Just recently (month of April) a third party executive came to my house with the bank settlement letter that said that upon payment of 8000 INR i would be closing down my account and that i will not be carrying any dues with the bank. At that time i told him that i will not be able to pay the full amount at one shot but i gave him 3580 INR plus another 415 INR as the fee for NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE that he said that he will get it issued within four to five days. But this agent never gave me all the information that if i am not paying the full amount at one shot it will not be considered. He was only intrested in meeting his collection target. At that time he said that i can pay the remaining balance the next month and that the case would be with him only the next month also. At that time i thought that this person was employed with the SBI and later only i realised that this person was from an agency working for the bank.
Now again the last month another executive came to my house and he said that now the case has been transferred to him and that i need to pay my minimum payment of 750 INR for the month so that i do not face any inconvinience in going through the settlement procedure. I really appreciate this person who helped me understand the whole procedure and that he said that now i just have to pay the remaining amount of approximately 3300 INR that was due balance of 8000 INR.
Month of July (last 2 weeks) and the month of July i have been getting calls everyday 4-5 times a day by executives calling from infinity towers Gurgaon to pay by bills.
Now i have so many concerns here that i have come across that i am going through your bank:
The executives calling me up rather than trying to understand my situation are only intrested in putting their communication across which is more like an arguement, always i end up hanging the phone. ( i have been taking about the same topic for the last 3 weeks thrice a day).
The executives calling up even do not have the complete details of my case, if i ask something they will just give a simple excuse that the systems are down and they can't ascess the details.
The executives themselves do not have a proper sense o[censored]nderstanding and every time they call up i have to explain the situation all from the begining.
Today (2nd July) i got a call from KUNAL calling from infinity tower and i found his behavior highly unprofessional and rude.
The biggest concern that i am having that this executive who came to my house played very smart by telling all false story and convincing me to make payments. And when i called him up after the case was not into his hands to tell him that he has cheated me he became furious and shouted on me that for customers like me this is the only way to get treated.
The details for this person is as follows:
Name - Gagan
Cell number - [protected]
Agency name and location - somwhere in South Delhi.
I would request you to please hear all the call recording for my case and look into it.
As promised i am ready to pay the outstanding amount of 3300 INR anytime this month provided the bank issues my a final letter along with the NOC.
Please reply to this mail at - [protected]@yahoo.com, [protected]@indiatimes.com

I am still getting phone calls from the Gurgaon branch (infinity towers) from recovery agents asking me to pay my minimum monthly payments. I have escalated this issue by mail to the SBI customer feedback mailbox but nobody is coming forward to help me out with this regards.It's been more than one year that i have stopped using the card and inspite of telling this to SBI to close my case i have been getting harassed by the recovery agents for the last 10 months now. I have done into mental depression because of this and i want this to get sorted out as soon as possible.

I beg you to please help me out.

Dear Sir,

i am suffering from sbi credit card. they are very bad people.

my all details as follows.



On 3rd June 2007, SBI Card had raised invoice as Rs. 4416.70/- as a Credit Balance. After receiving invoice I had called their office and spoken with their Two staff. And they told me that credit amount will get refund by DD of SBI. After 15 day again I recalled them and spoke with other three people they informed me that it will be adjust in my bill and asked me to swipe the card for same amount. So as per their instruction I swiped my card, but very next month I got a bill for Debit balance with tax and including late payment charges. Details is attached for your ready reference. Also I had attached the name of the staff with whome I had spoken and confirm with them including date and request no. Mean while they had confirmed me in writing that it was their system mistake and forced me to pay DR balance amount.



Just because of their improper information, they forcibly asked me to swipe the card for amount Rs. 4416.70/- else I wouldn’t use the card, I am middle class family person and work for small private company and for low salary. Now I am not understanding how I can repay the same. Presently they send me the Invoice for Rs. 7728.87/- including late payment, Interest, other charges etc. During this period I was completely upset and also they harassed me continually by calling for the payment.





I had solution also for this big problem, as I swiped the card and used Rs. 4416/- so I am ready to pay the same if SBI agree to charge me only Rs, 4416, instead of Rs. 7728.87/-.





Also sir, please let me know that is there any way of possibility to put a claim or sue them for harassing me and giving mental pressure for more then 8 months. I strongly feel If we took some strong action against SBI Card then may be other will ger relief and they will stop harassing poor people like me.



Please advice. Once again thanks a lot for your kind support.



Warm Regards

Sunil S Kadam.
