Why ICICI Bank Sucks…

July 5th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in General Talks, Life Talks, Personal Talks

Image Bucket To begin with, I own a ICICI Credit Card. Unfortunately I had to get one since I thought these guys were reputed but I was wrong.

I have been using my ICICI Credit Card from the past 1year and never had any problems to be frank. Problems have started from from the this month.

Coming to the point, ICICI Credit Card department as implemented a new rule, wherein if you make you credit card payment via cash at their local branch outlets, you will be fined/charged 100Rs and along with that a service charge of appox 12.(something) means a total charge of 112 rupees appox.

Ok losers (ICICI) if you had to make that rule fine enough, go ahead do it I don’t give a daam, I will use some other banks credit card or just may stop using credit card, well I do have debit cards.

But my point is why wasn’t I informed? How does a customer get to know that ICICI has suddenly imposed this new rule? I called up you so called customer care and you manner less executive who can’t even speak English properly argues with me and shouts at me saying “YOU HAVE TO PAY THAT FINE, SORRY I CAN’T HELP YOU ON THIS” & refuses to listen to me any more on this issue and tells me a prior notification was sent to all customers via email, sms and post.

India Broadband Well its not easy to get a good broadband connection, its very easy though to get a bad internet service provider.

I have used almost every ISP in my area. My first ISP was vsnl then mtnl .. well it was dialup then.

My Broadband journey started off with Iqara Broadband now termed You Telecom.. it sucked then it sucks even better now. Regular downtime, irregular bandwidth tracking and high charges what You Telecom promises to offer you.

Then comes Sify Broadband, sify never ever was down for me, their support was also good. What really pissed me off was my cable operator, as you know these guys borrow power supply from people using their connection, if A switches off that switch, yes you are right the whole area goes down and then frequent hub failures, switch failure, cable break is what my cable operator proudly offered me.

Finally I get a Tata broadband connection, IT truly ROCKS. Amazing speed, Zero downtime and very good support. Only one bad thing.. aah we @ mumbai have a major load sharing issue due to which lights used to go off 1.5hrs in the morning and 1.5 in the afternoon, More »
