I got a bill of ₹40347 on November 1 which I need to pay by 18th. I paid 38847 via cred (got some cb too due to cb cards) and did 2 referral in cred  which gave me 1500 rs as Cashback but onecard consider this Cashback as refund and now they incurred interest charges in this month statement.

What should I do in this case?
They consider cred cb as refund and they don’t consider refund as repayment. I paid more than the bill amount still I got late payment charges.https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/726035/medium/IMG_20211203_195752.jpg?1638550342 https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/726037/medium/IMG-20211203-WA0011.jpg?1638550373
Please someone guide me what to do in this case?

I hold OneCard issued by Federal bank and CRED cashback reflects as Repayments for me.

I have noticed this error with OneCard issued by IDFC bank holders.

You could try communicating with them, asking them why are you considering cashback as refunds, if they stick to it, ask them from what transaction has this refund originated. I’m sure they’ll have no answers.

If they still hesitate or bother you much, just logde an complaint on PGPortal against IDFC bank, they’ll get to it.

It has been like this from the start. Users are ignorant not to check full payment status which clearly shows on the front page of the app.

@xxxyyyzzz be careful

Bhai mere referral se aaj tak kisi ne cred sign up nahi kia sweat_smile.

I only use onecard for rookie 200-250 rs swiggy loot payments. But Yes, gotta be careful if they add stupid fines.
My bill generates on 15th, will clear used amount before bill generates.

HDFC seems to treat all refunds as repayments, right?

But cred cb is not refund for any transaction, also in other bank it is counted as payment. Not as refund

Cred cb credited into my one card but that wasn’t processed so i guess they don’t allow any 3rd party apps to process payments for One card.

You should only use One card app to clear all your dues so as to aviod this in future smile

I have settled remaining balance after refund but ONECARD charged me 900+taxes for not paying 100/-

Please guide OP on how to proceed for “one time good bill” waiver.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Yeah I don’t understand this.. if they’re not counting the refunded amount as payment then where does it go? Suppose I make a transaction of 100 and later it’s refunded. Then I’ll have to pay the bill for 100 even though I didn’t “spend” it?

I was adding my ICICI credit card in Ola when they deducted 1rs and later refunded it. Got the same message from ICICI.

Why should I pay 1 rs even though I didn’t spend it? Hoe will it be settled then once I pay the amount?

You are logically correct but thats how credit card as product has been designed. Refunds are not counted as payment and gets adjusted in next bill cycle.

You can f*ck them up, just mail them saying if they don’t correct this error, which is of serious concern, you will report it to RBI. They will come begging wink

It’s not a refund, it’s a payment, refund can only be for some corresponding transaction, where is the corresponding transaction? Ask them to show how is it refund, and warn them if they don’t, you will take it seriously and pursue other measure including involving RBI

I agree that OP’s issue is valid that his payment got treated as refund. I was respong to post where someone posted that refund should be considered as payment.

@kannu.rider304 did you use your cc on cred store for purchase ?
