StanChart platinum: Members who are charged fees despite LTF CARD

[ltf4ever]

1) raise complaint to pno of stanchart.
2) let them reply. most probably they will deny ltf or reverse the fee as a ONE TIME measure. but this is not acceptable, as we were promised ltf.
3) after their reply comes, escalate to rbi via ombudsman portal.
4) if they don't listen to rbi, close the card after clearing dues (or continue if you still find it worth 300 rupees and wanted a stanC card in your wallet).

I have also asked Technofino to make a video or post on Twitter so that this scam reaches a wider audience and hopefully StanC will take note.

I shall request to all community members if they get any fruitful replies from the bank, pls mention those here. Thanks

IMPORTANT
everyone please clear the dues as the resolution will take more time than your due date.
if they reverse the charges, you can use that credit in the next cycle.
but don't wait for the reversal to happen before clearing dues, it might lead to unnecessary defaults and charges.

got email reply that they need additional time to resolve the complaint.

annual fee reversed
check your apps. taxes are not yet reversed.
also don't know if they have reversed this only for this year, or converted to ltf. waiting for their email.

Even after ltf confirmation they charged annual fee, so their email is useless, next year they will charge again

true.
but if they say it is a one time reversal, i will put in a closure request/rbi complaint instantly.
if they say it is NOT a one time but a permanent reversal, i still have hope that it is ltf, and a proof for RBI next year if they charge again.

There was a criteria to spend 500 or something in first 30 days and post that it was going to become LTF right?
