[Resolved]  SBI Credit Cards — Armtwisting by SBI & GE and Collection Agents

This is regarding my credit card and the series of phone calls and e-mails that I have sent.

My Case ID with SBI Cards is :[protected].

For over several months I have been struggling with the Bank and people at GE who run their call centre.

This mail refers to my Credit Card No. [protected] in the name of Himadri Sinha.

The card was cancelled on[protected] alongwith any (I repeat, any) request for Balance Transfers. The transcript of my conversation with the Floor Manager of the particular shift (Avinash) can be referred to. I have my own audio recording that can be used by you if you so desire for purpose of cross verification.
Funnily enough, though definitely not surprisingly (as committing blunders and errors is second nature to SBI and is quickly rubbing off on GE as well) - I have been sent a letter by Manish Dewan, VP - Customer Services informing me of my card's renewal. This happens months after the card has been cancelled. Also informs me through the letter that MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS by YOUR COURIER AGENCY have been made to deliver the card, but no one has received it. Come on, I am sure a VP - Customer Care can cock up a better and more logical excuse.
I have not received ( NOT RECEIVED) any BT cheques at my residence for the requested amount of Rs. 69,000 or for ANY OTHER amount.
Your bank has however, without any authorisation from me or without any information/intimation to me has deposited 2 cheques in my ABN AMRO Credit Card account. The amounts are Rs. 51,000 and 13,500.
On numerous occassions I have been talking to your call centre associates at your facility. Details of conversation are as under:
