Bugged by CreditCard companies...Please help.

Post by sumeet »

I have got 4 of them and this has gone out of control to manage them. Last year when I got the cards issued, the agents assured me there is NO fees at all. It is life-time free card. But this year I have got to pay annual fees for 3 of them, Citibank, HSBC and ICICI. The fourth one HDFC is yet to ask for money. What can I do? Thinking of discontinuing the cards. Please advice.

Do not pay anything.

DO NOT pay any fees. If they ask, tell them you want to discontinue the card. They can do nothing.

Even if some credit cards do not have any fees now, they will implement them in future. My ICICI card got Rs 100 annual fees added recently

Don't pay... tell them you will be more than happy to discontinue their services... ( I hope you are okay with that! or at least say so!) :D

HSBC is a big fraud. They have clearly said the card is "Lifetime FREE card".
As I am extra catious with credit card stuff, I had specifically asked them if they are gonna apply charges from 2nd year onwards. They said, no no, absolutely no charges.

Now I see 2000/- charges in my statement after 1 year! Well, I have mailed them about this and asked for a clarification. If they are not going to reverse it, I am gonna cancel the card, and anyways I will not pay this illegal fee. And I will make sure to educate everyone on the web to stay away from HSBC bank. More updates tomorrow.

Should never believe these Chinese company.
