Few months back, Standard chartered bank had issued a Free for Life credit card, I thought things would have changed, but no improvement. Earlier I had been using Standard charterd bank credit card and discontinued the card due to various problems, that is way back in 1998
I had used the card for 25K and was waiting for the Statement, since the statement was not coming on time, I called the customer care and they said it is already due and asked me to pay with penatly and late fee. I paid only what is my part. that is 25K and requested them to close the card.
Again after long time, some one from the bank called and said payment due for long time and now it has grown to amount of 6K , interests, late fees etc.....
So far, I have not received a single statement. But I used get over due payment letter, and the number give in that letter are not reachble.
Please dont use any of Standard Chartered Bank cards.
