[Resolved]  HDFC Bank — illogical charges

Address: Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, 201005

I have a hdfc regalia credit card in ending with 7412 and i have an issue going on since jan 2017. The bill for the month of jan 2017 which i got on 13/01/2017 had total dues of rs. 4, 567.56 and the due date for the same was 02/02/2017. Due to some personal hardship i could not pay the dues in time and it was delayed by a week. I made the payment on 09/02/2017. I was expecting some interest to be levied in the next bill and i was ready to pay it. But when i received the next month's bill it showed total finance charges and interest of rs. 3, 778.92 which is around 83% of total due rs. 4, 567.56.

Immediately after seeing this i contacted the hdfc credit card customer card through email and told them to look into this and send me the details calculation of charges as i was not satisfied by the charges.

I asked for such details for around 2 months continuously but i never the details i asked for. I always got a reply that the interest and mark up fee has been charged at certain percentage and this is not in isolation of my card account only.

I even called the customer care for helping me provide the details but they also did not gave me any such details.

Then in october i got a call from the collection department of hdfc credit card saying that you have not paid the outstanding please clear it, i explained them the whole case, name of the lady is ms. Deepika. She told me that higher amount of charges are because i made a payment of rs 50, 000 on 15/01/2017 immediately after my jan bill got generated and since i missed the deadline interest has been charged at total outstanding amount and not just on 4567.56 which is totally [censored].

The payment that got late was rs. 4567.56 and the interest has been charged some other amount for which the bill is even not generated. After that i have been getting many phone calls from hdfc credit card for the payment and every time i have to explain them the whole case and nothing happens.

Once i told the executive to put a waiver request which also got rejected and my card is now blocked.

Through this complaint i want to inform hdfc that i am ready to pay the late charges for 4567.56 which is genuine but not on any other amount and even not the accumulated interest which has been getting calculated every month.

Request you to resolve the matter on urgent basis since i dont want my card to remain block.
