Should I approach SEBI as AMC has given wrong bank details in SOA

I had submitted an application with MF AMC to purchase SIP, received account statement and found that it had seeded my bank particulars wrongly. Emailed to them for correction as per my original application. But they advised me to submit Cancelled cheque or photocopy of Bank Pass Book along with prescribed form. My query is that when the AMC did not seeded my particulars as per my original and error or fault lies with them why it is showing reluctance to correct it and putting me in unnecessary harassment. Kindly let me know the way out. Should I approach SEBI or can I file a complaint in the consumer court. The AMC might be harassing lakhs of customers on these grounds. Why the customer suffers on their faux pas and adamancy?
