Where to complain about MTS Bank
The determination of the recipient of a complaint against an institution is carried out regardless of the specific bank.
The main goal that the client should be guided by is the competent written and oral presentation of the problem. Her decision, in turn, will depend on the individual details of the complaint. In case of minor problems, the easiest way to resolve the issue is by contacting the contact center or the main office of MTS Bank. If the problem caused significant harm or the client’s losses were not compensated in any way after contacting MTS Bank services, you need to protect your rights through other authorities.
Complaint to MTS Bank
Sending a complaint is possible in two ways: a written complaint addressed specifically to MTS Bank or third-party organizations or a personal appeal (by phone). Both options are suitable for those clients who:
- Has complaints about the quality of service and standards of behavior of employees (unjustified refusal to provide services or servicing, rudeness of employees, publication of false information on current services, etc.)
- I encountered violations in the procedure for working with my confidential data (disclosure of personal information, loss of important documents and transfer of them to third parties without the client’s consent)
- Dissatisfied with the quality of the service provided (any errors in the process of transferring funds (amount, recipient, etc.), violations in the procedure for preparing documents and agreements, non-disclosure of open information about the details of the service)
- Was deceived during the execution of the contract (forced signing of documents on services, deliberate changes in the clauses of the contract after certification by his signature)
- Became a victim of fraudulent employees (theft of funds from an account, sale of client information to other organizations, transfer of obligations to third parties, etc.)
Important! Each complaint from the above points is sent to a specific authority. Simply put, any complaint requires a preliminary analysis on the part of the client: it is necessary to determine the recipient, the form and the general topic of the complaint. Below are examples of reasons and methods for filing complaints with MTS Bank:
To the hotline
Sending a complaint through the hotline is possible by calling the MTS Bank number or contacting the contact center via the Internet.
Filing a complaint by phone can be divided into two scenarios: • The client deliberately files a complaint
In this case, the MTS Bank client not only tries to solve the problem, but, refusing the help of a consultant on the hotline, sends an official request for consideration of the complaint. It is best to address such forms to the main office of the local region - it is the local management that is responsible for organizational issues related to working with clients.
• The client contacts the hotline specifically to solve the problem
In this scenario, the MTS Bank client simply wants to make a complaint and resolve the problem after the call is completed. This option does not provide for the official filing of a complaint with third-party authorities and does not carry legal force for further proceedings with MTS Bank - the operator will simply try to offer optimal solutions (reissue the card, freeze the account, etc.)
On the official site
When sending a complaint through the official website, an MTS Bank client must fill out an online form that describes in detail the essence of the problem, feedback methods (initials, phone number, etc.), additional screenshots or photographs of documents (if any) and the general reason for the complaint.
As a result, MTS Bank will consider the claim and send a response within a few days - their response can be used as evidence in further proceedings with other authorities. The reason for contacting may be any problems related to the operation or maintenance of MTS Bank. E-mails from the services are also attached to the case when sending a claim to government agencies (prosecutor's office, Rospotrebnadzor, etc.) - this will help prove guilt in court in case of illegal actions of MTS Bank.
Complaint to other authorities
If the problem from the filed complaint was not resolved by MTS Bank employees, the client should contact other organizations to protect their rights. It is best to send complaints with an official response from the management or management of MTS Bank - this way the authorities will be able to assess the overall involvement and attitude of the financial institution towards its client’s complaint.
Central Bank of Russia
As you know, all banks are under the direct supervision of the Central Bank of Russia - it is he who solves all problems associated with significant disruptions to work. However, not all complaints are considered by Central Bank employees - for this, complaints must meet several requirements:
- The essence of the complaint is a violation of bank secrecy or its disclosure to third parties;
- MTS Bank employees grossly violate work regulations, refusing their services on an unreasonable basis;
- They hide valid information about their services in order to mislead their clients.
If a client’s complaint includes at least one of these three reasons, he needs to send a complaint to the Internet reception desk of the Central Bank. When filling out, the client is required to indicate the name of the bank, attach files (photo of the contract or recording of the conversation), and then describe the essence of the complaint in up to 5,000 characters. After sending, a response will be received within a few days to the contacts specified in the complaint.
Rospotrebnadzor
This institution considers the problems of MTS Bank clients, i.e. any violation of consumer rights may be referred to its services. To submit, a citizen must go to the main website and leave an email with a complaint or call the hotline 8-800-100-00-04. The time frame for consideration of a complaint is quite long - from 10 to 30 calendar days from the moment the complaint is sent.
Roskomnadzor
Roskomnadzor accepts complaints related to the disclosure of confidential data about a bank client. This institution does not consider other issues. For help, you can call +74959876800 or the nearest department (bring an identification document with you). Reception hours may vary in each region - we recommend calling for more information.
Antimonopoly Service
FAS employees consider requests from bank clients only under certain conditions.
The most common example: complaints about forced insurance procedures or registration of additional services. Not every bank client knows that insurance for credit services is accepted exclusively on a voluntary basis - not a single bank has the right to impose insurance without the personal consent of their client. Also, forced cooperation with third-party organizations, be it insurance or financial institutions, is a gross offense - not only MTS Bank employees, but also senior management are responsible for these offenses. The last common reason for filing a complaint with the antimonopoly service is the refusal to provide services under the terms of promotions and individual offers. For example, a bank conducted an advertising campaign to attract clients on favorable lending terms: when applying for this service, the bank client either received inappropriate conditions or was completely withdrawn as a candidate borrower.
To send a complaint to the front office, a bank client can go to an online resource with a printed statement or leave a letter with a detailed description of the problem in the mailbox at the entrance to the local department of the city's antimonopoly service.
Prosecutor's office
The prosecutor's office can help resolve the most important and serious complaints.
It is also worth understanding that sending a claim to the prosecutor’s office will entail a lengthy process with proceedings between the client’s side and the bank’s official defender. Many complaints to the prosecutor’s office often continue to be considered in court - if particularly gross violations by MTS Bank employees are proven, the protection of a competent lawyer will be needed. The most suitable scenario for sending a complaint to the prosecutor's office: a client of MTS Bank filed a complaint with the services with a clear decision in his favor, but the official response from the management of the institution did not help in solving the problem. If there are no alternative options, you must contact the territorial prosecutor's office with a statement. All evidence of the bank’s inaction is attached to the application: the official verdict, letters of complaint and the essence of the complaint itself.
Court
Going to court is perhaps the most extreme way to resolve a problem related to a client’s claim.
A lawsuit carries enormous risks for the applicant - the defense will be more prepared, since MTS Bank has hundreds of legal experts and lawyers on its staff. For this reason, you should only go to court if you are 100% confident in the judge’s positive verdict. If an MTS Bank client has slight doubts about the success of his claim, it is best to withdraw the application. Firstly, the potential costs of litigation in the event of a defeat will fall on him, and the work of expensive lawyers can cost a considerable amount. Secondly, a lawsuit can be redirected to the victim at any time - in this case, the citizen bears the risks of administrative liability in the form of fines.
In order to competently prove his case at a court hearing, the applicant, represented by a client of MTS Bank, must at least first consult with a legal expert, and it is best to hire a reliable lawyer. Working in tandem with the defense will allow you to collect all the necessary evidence: recordings of conversations, printouts of official responses, scans of a letter of claim, contract numbers, payment receipts, etc.)
Association of Russian Banks
A short excursion for those readers who are not familiar with this organization: ARB is a non-profit organization.
It is not controlled by government agencies and was founded back in 1991. In essence, the ARB is a united community of banking institutions that considers complaints and claims against their members in a pre-trial manner. The work of the association is aimed at maintaining trust between the client parties and banking services. Sending a complaint to the ARB services is possible in three ways:
- Send a registered letter describing the problem to the address: 121069, Moscow, Skatertny lane, 20, building 1.
- Write an email to the official email address [email protected]
- Register a complaint on the main website of the Association of Russian Banks using the link https://arb.ru/: at the very end of the main page on the right side there will be a “Feedback” menu - using it the client can leave a complaint with a personal email to send a response.
Financial Ombudsman
Also, on behalf of the Association of Russian Banks, financial ombudsman Pavel Alekseevich Medvedev can also accept citizen complaints - he considers claims related to serious violations of banking procedures, such as:
- Debt restructuring problems;
- Illegal accrual of interest when paying off a loan;
- Exceeding official authority and operating regulations of collection agencies;
- Adjustment of commissions for bank services;
- Unreasonable or unlawful demand from bank services for early repayment of the loan;
- Theft of funds from the client’s account and bank cards.
Important! Sending a complaint to the financial ombudsman is possible only after sending the complaint to the bank itself and the expiration of the 30-day period for its response.
To contact the financial ombudsman, you can use a registered letter by sending it to the address 107016, Moscow, st. Neglinnaya, 12. Pavel Alekseevich also responds to complaints via his email address,
Banki.ru
The Internet portal provides the opportunity to contact a bank representative by leaving a request with a complaint in the “Company Hotline” section.
In the window you need to find the name of a specific financial organization (in our case, MTS Bank) and fill out an email using the form indicated on the website. Before sending a message, moderation of the Internet portal will ask you to register for feedback from the client. As for the timing and reasons for sending claims, there are no rules as such in this matter: usually the response from the Banki.ru website arrives within 1-5 days to the mailbox specified in the application. Problems that are relevant for discussion with representatives of MTS Bank on this website can be anything: from questions about freezing an account to refusal to restructure a debt. However, it is worth remembering that the resource itself does not have any legal force and its answers, as a rule, are strictly advisory in nature.
