Hi All,
It was really shocking as well as frustating for a customer holding the credit card of SBI Bank for close to two years.
I had got a refund from the merchant Future Bazar for a DVD player on the 1st April , 2010 and my credit card payment due date was 4th April , the customer service rep mentioned that I need to make the payment as the refund was not showing up in my account .
Payment was made and subsequently the refund got reflected on the same day .There was no communication from the bank side even after calling them for the same issue , the reps mentioned that it will take 7 days to reflect on the bank.
Even after 7 days it did not get reflected on my bank ie not SBI credit card but the hdfc bank from where I had made the payment for sbi credit card.
Calling the reps again they mentioned that excess balance got adjusted with my current transactions and that I will not get a refund.
There is a provision for refund but I will ot get as there was a delay on my part to inform the sbi credit card people that I needed a refund and not an adjustment to my current purchases.
I kept on writing emails to them but it seems they have become reluctant to reply me back .
I get calls from different reps mentioning the same ie your amount has been adjusted and money cannot be refunded back and one of the rep even hangs up my call telling me the same .
Escalating the issue to the AVP's have also not helped me .There was no response either from them.
I have a very good credit history so far , never failing to make payments on the due date yet bank seems to be in doubt whether I will pay my next month's bill or not hence once they got the excess amount like a demon they have gulped it without our consent or acknowledgement .
I want my money to be refunded and not adjusted and the bank is not bothered about the customer satisfaction but they are adamant on the part that it cannot be refunded.
Cheers,
Animikha
