Hello Sir, I am Kumar Shashi Raj, I made a payment for my Axis bank credit card dues on 31.1.2024 from SBI internet banking, its Last date was 05.02.2024, but payment not reflected in Axis bank credit card dues nor returned to my SBI account till 14th Feb 2024, due to delay I have been charge penalty and interest, and bad effect on my CIBIL score. I raised complains to Axis Bank Credit card department and SBI. but I did not get concrete answer from them. I got a reply from Axis bank saying that UPDATE FROM AGGREGATOR THAT THERE WAS A DOWN TIME ISSUE FROM SBI, due to this the payment has been failed. I just want to know who is responsible Axis Bank or SBI and how to raise complain against them so that penalty, interest, and effect on CIBIL score, mental trauma I have borne. I want justice.

Ans: Hello Mr. Kumar Shashi Raj,

I understand the frustration and inconvenience you've faced due to the delay in your credit card payment reflecting on your Axis Bank account. It's indeed disheartening to experience such issues, especially when you've taken timely action to fulfill your financial obligations.

It's essential to determine accountability in situations like these. While Axis Bank has mentioned a downtime issue from SBI, it's crucial to delve deeper into the matter to ascertain where the responsibility lies. Both institutions play integral roles in the transaction process, and pinpointing the exact cause of the failure is essential to seek redressal.

Your proactive approach in raising complaints with both Axis Bank and SBI is commendable. However, if you haven't received satisfactory responses, you may consider escalating the matter further. You can approach the banking ombudsman, a regulatory body established to address grievances related to banking services. They can investigate the issue impartially and facilitate a resolution.

Meanwhile, to mitigate the adverse impact on your financial standing, you can request Axis Bank to waive off the penalty and interest charges, citing the delayed payment due to technical issues beyond your control. Additionally, you may inquire about any measures they can take to rectify the effect on your CIBIL score.

Remember to keep documentation of all communication and transactions related to this issue for future reference.

Stay resilient throughout this process. Justice may take time, but your persistence can lead to a favorable outcome.

I am not having any SBI debit card but daily I am receiving message to pay an amount of rs10372.54for last few years. I had written several mails to concerned AGMMumbai regarding the same and as per his message it was forwarded for na.Still I am receiving sms to pay the above said amount.I had even complained in the sbicard chargeback.com site regarding the same dozen times but in vain.I am not getting any proper reply except the standard ones. Even the name is not correct{bearing someone else name} and also I do not have the card no which I mentioned in every communication to SBI. Pl advise what option is left for me. I had also visited SBI regarding the same but they said contact SBI card section.
Ans: It sounds like you're facing a frustrating situation with recurring messages about a payment for an SBI debit card that you don't have. Despite your efforts to contact the concerned parties and raise the issue through multiple channels, you haven't received a satisfactory resolution.

At this point, since you've already contacted both the AGM in Mumbai and lodged complaints through the SBI card chargeback website without success, you may want to explore additional steps to resolve the issue:

Escalate the Matter: Consider escalating your complaint within SBI's hierarchy. You can try reaching out to higher authorities or different departments within SBI, such as customer service or dispute resolution, to seek further assistance.

Legal Assistance: If the issue persists despite your efforts and continues to cause inconvenience or distress, you may consider seeking legal advice or assistance. A legal expert can provide guidance on your rights and options for resolving the matter through legal channels.

Consumer Protection Agencies: Contact consumer protection agencies or ombudsman services that deal with banking-related grievances. They may be able to intervene on your behalf and facilitate a resolution with the bank.

Credit Reporting Agencies: If the incorrect information is affecting your credit score or financial standing, you can contact credit reporting agencies to dispute any inaccuracies and request corrections to your credit report.

Document Everything: Ensure you keep records of all your communication attempts, including emails, complaint reference numbers, and any responses received. This documentation can be valuable if you need to provide evidence or pursue further action.

Ultimately, persistence and patience may be necessary as you navigate the process of resolving this issue. Keep advocating for yourself and exploring different avenues until you achieve a satisfactory outcome.

Hii sir ! This is ritika and I love a boy and we are in relationship since 7 years but there are some behavior of him he always have doubt on me that I am dating another boy he always says that start you screenshare in WhatsApp I even do because I don't want to lose him and he saw all of things of my phone yesterday he again asking for that and I do and there was a tab of instagram which was belongs to my roommate it was her I'd open in my chrome browser where she only wants to delete the I'd which she did from my phone these instagram thing happened approx one year ago but when he saw this I told him that was not mine but he continuously said I am cheater I cheated with him again he was like I know you have two mobile phones and you cheated with me. I love him soo much but he cannot try to accept that . Even I don't talk to my male classmate because he didn't want ki main kisi boy se baat karu Is it fair , am I cheater ? I love him unconditionally I support him in all his career or decision but again he was like I cheated with him we are in long distance relationship but I can't cheat him . Literally I am feeling depressed ????
Ans: Dear Ritika,

Please understand that you did nothing wrong. Why would you even question yourself? You know you never cheated. It's his issue that he cannot trust. Yes, in a relationship we all try to comfort our partners but that too should be to a certain extent. And, in that process, if your mental health is being compromised, I don't see how it's a healthy relationship.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but I would reassure you that YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. You don't need to prove yourself anymore. And I can also assure you that no matter what you do, he will still manage to find some flaws and doubt you. It's a typical behavior we see in some partners. You deserve peace, love, and above all, to be trusted.

Best Wishes.
