Consumerlive is also a circle on this very forum called localcircles. But you can also raise your issues through many other circles including this one and we together should fight it out with the corporates. Credit card users need to be extra extra cautious for so many wrong commitments being made by these banks. Very recent case is false claims being made by ICICI for their premium credit card Saphiro, they also charge an annual fees of Rs 5000 for the same. We took it up strongly with the bank. @consumerlive is the twitter handle through which we bombarded tweets. It had its impact and today ICICI bank has confirmed to refund the fees charged. We don't intend to stop here and are following it with ICICI to explain why false advertisement is being made. Pl tweet, go on facebook support each other and it will definitely have impact. If you r not very conversant with twitter and facebook pl raise your issues here on this forum. You can also join the consumerlive circle. We also should follow each others twitter handle that will ensure that the corporates will take note of our concerns. If you need help pl mail to consumerlive@gmail.com more

Bedekarji, I am not aware of this @consumerlive and its role. It is true that forums like local circle could bring many people but when it comes to strengthening the individual's fight against illegalities by corporate giants like ICICI Bank and its group companies who are gaining undue riches through illegal and fraudulent acts, support does not seem to be there so much as desired and deserved. Consumer forum, State & Nationalcommissions play as pawns in the hands of Govt., corporate giants like ICICI Bank etc and help these errant bodies more than come to the rescue of the innocent vicitm. This I am writing from my own experience of the past over 6 years. Unless the public who express angst agaisnt corrupt practices actually come out and ACT as a combined force, these illegalities by ICICI BANK and others does not stop. Should not the gullible victim get compensation for the suffering metted out by these people? Terminaologies like headservicequality, Zonal managers, Senior management desk of the CEO are all meant ONLY TO MANAGE THE SERIOUS ISSUES OF FRAUD COMMITTED BY ICICI Bank and its group companies and any attempt of expression to redress the issues on hand is an eye wash and delaying justice. One zonal manager rank person of this fraud ICICI Bank even stated that complaints can be made and that the bank knows how to support them. more

Threatening calls is illegal way of recovery now. I believe you should do the recording of such calls to submit as proof. And after that try to reach some senior officials in scb and mail them recoding of such calls. And yes with such proof now u can definitely file a case against them in consumer forum with good compensation. more

Request to local circle to enable a process by which specific issues can be submitted and then taken up with the right authorities. Will be great if access becomes available to consumer forum. more

Forums like local circle will surely bring many people suffering from similar problems and strengthen the individual fights with so much of support. If you permit pl write down your specific issue and we will take it up along with the current saphiro credit card @consumerlive has taken up with ICICI, and I must say there are atleast some responses even if not satisfactory. more
