One more phone call from Shaha Finlease

On Nov. 17, 2017 I got a call from 02228447587 from Mr. Sameer. He mentioned about a personal loan and two credit cards. I informed him about the previous communication.


What is surprising is that the calls from M/s Shaha Finlease keeps getting repeated despite assurance from them and Stan-chart that appropriate measures are taken to remove my phone number from their list.

Additional phone calls from M/s Shah Finance - Stan Chart

Two more phone calls were received from M/s Shah Finance  (Stan Chart Bank) on July 19, 2017.

The calls came from 9833901380 (Truecaller - Prakash Rane) and 022-40958811.

This has been reported to the Banking Ombudsperson and the management of Standard Chartered Bank.

Yet another call from Shah Finance (on behalf of Standard Chartered Bank)

There was another call on July 12th at 17:15 from +912228447587 from Shah Finance. The number was identified by True Caller and the caller straight away asked if I was interested in closing the loan (without verifying my identity). When I informed hm about the previous activity with Shah Finance/SCB he hung up. I called the number back and again asked on the reason behind the call. Despite having a closure email from SCB, I was puzzled that my number was still on their record.

I am anyway sending this information to SCB and RBI.

Reply from Standard Chartered Bank to Banking Ombudsperson

The following are images highlighting the reply from Standard Chartered bank to RBI Ombudsperson at Bangalore. They confirm and accept their mistake for approaching the wrong person (me). I do give credit to Stan Chart for quickly addressing the issue; this was unlike ICICI Bank that dragged the issue for months and HDFC Bank who went to the extent of asking their representatives to visit my home to verify my identity.


These apologies are fine but what these banks don't realize is that in each case the initial call(s) are quite insulting and degrading; the callers directly resort to threats and insults assuming that the person on the other end is guilty.


I am sure in some western countries including US, this would be considered as unwarranted harassment and the banks would be made to pay for this (although that is not my intention).


Fortunately for the banks, we live in an extremely corrupt system wherein folks get away with much bigger crimes.....and my posts and emails is not going to bring any change in their greed and corrupt ways of conducting their business/banking.

Bajaj Finance?

The following calls came from Bajaj Finance for a loan...nothing unusual but parking the two numbers for further review
