Today I gave it Back to Standard Chartered !!!

By: Boogeyman | Posted Jan 30, 2009 | General | 363 Views

Wow I am feeling happy !!!

Actually donno y but I am sharing this with everyone ...

A few months back SCB called me telling me that I have a credit card account which is unpaid since Jan 2007, the last payment being 3500 rs.

I was amused to know that I have a standard chartered card without knowing ... Damn ... I cudve used it .. aint it ??

Now after 4 months of mayhem and repeated calls ... they apologosied me to today, telling me that it wasnt Karan Dhanraj Gir ( Me ) and the account was in the name of Karan Sharma ...

Now WTF ... I still cant belive a bank of Standard Chartered's stature cud do this ...

Now the case lies with Consumer Court of Delhi Jurisdiction ... as I cleverly recorded all the conversations ...

You loved this blog. Thank you for your rating.

I did the same with this guys before.
I made full payment but these guys used to send me lots of reminders and one fineday Rs.2/- outstanding balance became Rs.2000/- where as I paid full amount. I used to send email response and had history.
Finally I send an advocate notice and that too in Shudha Marathi to their HQ demanding Rs.2 Lakhs for insulting me.
You wont believe, their senior officers used to call me and finally send me a cheque for Rs.10,000/- towards the token of appreciation for higlighting flaws in their system with an apology note. Rs.2000/- I spend on advocate and rest is mine!
wish you good luck. After the verdict is out, do post a review.

...good you gave back to them. Methinks you too should use Sajit's tactic and derive most out of it :)
