Hello everybody
One of my first credit card - OneCard by SBM Bank India.
Issued - 5 Sep 2022
Closed - 8 Sep 2023
Last Credit reporting to CIBIL & Experian - May 2024
Just with above information, any stupid person will also understand that the bank is reporting my payments even after closure of card.
Bank has reported Zero DPD which is technically correct but this increased the payment history from 12 months to 21 months.
Now here's the story begins
I noticed these in May 2024, first complained to SBM nodal officer on 09 June 2024..
Did not receive any response from them. Escalated to principal nodal officer then also didn't receive any response.
Then had to complain to RBI ombudsman on June 27. On Tuesday this week I received the closure mail from RBI stating the summary of what SBM Bank responded to the complaint -

My major concern is that rbi ombudsman didn't gave me a chance to counter the bank's response. The bank has clearly hidden the card closure date, that's why last reporting in May 2024 seems justified.
Had the bank mentioned about the card closure date, the discrepancy in reporting could be easily identified.
I also mailed to
crpc@rbi.org.in with my replies to bank's responses and requested them to reconsider the complaint

I didn't mention one thing - SBM Bank said that they mailed me on 09 August 2024 regarding this, but I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMUNICATION FROM SBM BANK AFTER 12TH JULY.
Since the complaint is closed under non appealable clause, the complaint would not be reopened.
Now I seek the community's advice on what step can I take next to get those extra payment reportings removed?
