I had been a loyal customer for 10 years, and then all of a sudden their service became a nightmare. I got kept getting calls from their Sales branch, a Price Solutions Sdn Bhd, offering me a Personal Loan, which I turned down a grand total of 10 times over the last year. That didn’t stop them though. One day I got another call from them, and I told them I am not interested, but the sales girl on the phone could not take no for an awnser, and gave me a grand total of 40 missed calls over a period of 2 hours. I even turned off my phone for 20 minutes thinking that would stop her, but it didn’t. I finally called their office and complained, but their Manager refused to find out the culprit and stop her. As I was talking to the manager, I was receiving more and more miss calls. I wrote the following email to their web site complaining and I got a reply a few days later.

The Email I wrote

I am writing to complain about Ms Rebecca Lim, the Team Sales Manager
of Price Solutions Sdn Bhd, a fully owner company of Standard Charted
Bank (M) Sdn. Bhd. Her staff placed a total of 40 missed calls to my
mobile when I refused to entertain her on a cold call offer to get a
personal loan from your bank. I have been a loyal customer of your
bank for more than 10 years, and I am totally irrigated and disgusted
by your companies actions. If this is the quality of service provided
by your establishment I will terminate my account. I have told your
cards customer service personal I do not wish to receive any sales
calls whatsoever. If there is an issue with payment or risk of
fraudulent transactions, that is a totally different matter. When I
called and complained, Rebbecca refused to take any action on the
matter, as the miss calls kept coming in. Please look into this matter
urgently.

I thought they would wise up and stop harassing me, but NO! Last month, I got another series of calls from them selling me the same stupid loan. I could take it no longer. I cancelled my card. I even wrote a reply to them that they failed to do what they promised. And they game me a lame reply.

It seems they are not interested in keeping customers. Avoid Standard Chartered Bank, one of the worse ones in Malaysia.

    Wow outrageous! 40 missed calls? I don’t think I can stand 10.

    You received 40 missed calls?? OMG! You should think about getting a lawyer and sue them for harrasement!

    I think you should also write to Bank Negara about this. They take things like this quite seriously.

    A friend of mine gave me the head of the card center’s email :- Francis.KL.Wong@my.standardchartered.com

    and I wrote this email to him

    Hi Francis,
    After this incident, despite being promised by your staff as bellow,
    I still received another 3 calls from Price Solutions Sdn Bhd offering
    me the same loan. As your bank doesn’t keep its word II have
    officially cancelled my credit card and I have told all my friends and
    family members who hold a credit card with your bank to do so as well.

    Farewell,

    Nick Tay

    Its extremely annoying to get more than 5 missed calls for such a short period of time.

    I do not have high regards on Standard Chartered credit cards as they don’t have good benefits

    Ya, they really suck as a bank!

    Nick,

    I’m a platinum member. Prompt paymaster. Customer for 11+ yrs. I redeemed my points 2 months ago for a TV that never arrived. My wife calls every 2 weeks. The agents say they’re working on it and someone will call us back. No one does. I’m surprised an international bank is so screwed up. I’m sorry about your situation but it’s ‘par for the course’.

  7. on 07 Jan 2010 at 6:56 PMNick Tay

    I am so not supprised! I think its time for you to cancel your card and bring your business elsewhere.
