Ref: Your letter dated 6th January (6010020831763)

Sub. : Non disclosure of refund details and cheating done in refund.

Dear Concern,

As per ref. given above, your letter states that cancellation of enrollment was done under special case on my desire. But my desire was only because of Unfair Business Practices followed by each & everyone, starting from Development executive to Central Student Service Dept. of your university.

Further, in my all previous correspondence I have asked for refund of Rs. 46, 500/-(including PDCs) I have paid towards course fee. But I have received cheque for only Rs. 22, 000/-. Can you give me details with this regard?

As my enrollment is cancelled and my name has been permanently deleted from your official records from 6th Jan I have given stop payment order to my banker on 10th Jan against PDCs I have given. (This is already communicated to you in my previous correspondences dated 27th Oct 1st Nov and 6th Nov).

I have paid 27, 600 in cash till date (excluding PDCs) but only Rs.22, 000 has been refunded to me. Where balance of Rs. 5600 has gone? Are there any such charges for your Unfair Business Practices?

You may make sure that 5, 600 Rs. Pending from you towards me will be paid to me with in next 6 working days (on or before 24th Jan). If not all further correspondences are addressed directly to below mentioned authorities for the same and all the mental & emotional harassments gone through me:

1) President & Members 3) President & Members

National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission Human Rights Foundation

2) President & Members 4) Ministry Of HigherEducation

Human Rights Foundation Maharashtra State. Udupi, Karnataka.

5) Ministry Of Higher Education 6) Ministry Of Higher Education

As conclusion advise you to repay my money of Rs.5600/- and return back 3 PDC leaves of Rs. 6300/- each which are in your custody, without playing with my emotions & patience.

Thanks & Regards,

Sub: Regarding Unfair Business Practices by your University.

Dear Sir,

With the intention of M.B.A study I joined ICFAI but in enrollment stage itself each & every person at your university are lying to me. Even your Business Development Manager and Student Service Dept. also are having such unfair practice. I am not even getting any proper reply for my mails from them. Pls go through the attached mails from your SSD & Business Development manager and let me know lying to student is a fair practice?

I even request you to arrange for cancellation of enrollment & return my money of Rs. 46, 500 (Rs. 27, 600 already encashed & 6300 x 3 PDCs) as earliest as possible.

Looking forward for your timely reply.

Dear All,

Pls go through the attached annexure which is self explanatory about the standards of service and business practices followed by your business Development manger and Student Service Dept. (Pls find the attached annexure of e-mails sent by your SSD, BDM & myself.) Pls analyze following points your self & do the necessary arrangements for cancel my enrollment & return back money I have paid.

1) False Commitment by Development executive:

On 29th Sep 08 when I paid down payment of Rs. 15, 000, your development executive committed me delivery of course ware & call form programme coordinator regarding commencement of classes with in 10 days. But I didn’t get neither course ware nor call from programme coordinator, nor any communication (except receipt for payment) from anyone of your institution till 22nd Oct, even after continuous telephonic follow up with your development executive. So I expressed my decision of withdrawing M.B.A from your institute on 22nd Oct. 08 in telephone as well as in e-mail.

2) Unfair Business Practices by your Business Development Manager :

As reply to my mail of with drawing M.B.A, your Business development manager mentioned in her mail that books were delivered from H.O on 10th Oct 08 & returned back twice by Courier Company as there was lock at my place!!! But your H.O SSD team itself saying that books were dispatched from their side on 23rd Oct!!!

Further to this your B.D.M is giving false reason that books were returned back twice by courier company!!! Pls note that no courier company will return the consignment with out communicating to consignee in general. If it has been sent twice why didn’t she confirmed my address & availability before sending it second time?

The answer for all these above queries from your BDM is only the silence, till date! Even she didn’t shown courtesy to receive my phone calls. What a great business development!!

3) Unfair practice of business by yor Student Support Dept.:

As reply to my mail of with drawing M.B.A, your SSD replied on 23rd Oct 08 stating that my enrollment letter has been already sent to me through e-mail on 3rd Oct. 08!!! But I received the same on 22nd Oct 08 (after my telephonic intimation of with drawing course), & even that letter is dated 22nd Oct.08. Pls let me know is it possible to send a letter dated 22nd Oct. on 3rd Oct 08?

On the top your SSD is advising me to be in touch with Courier Company by giving me consignment number. Is it my responsibility to be in touch with Courier Company as to get my books? Are your SSD ’s responsibilities ends when the course ware is dispatched from your place? Am I paying to your courier company or you? Who is having contract with courier company me or you? Who has to do the follow up me or your SSD about delivery? Your Student Service Dept. is advising more than providing services.

All the people, I approached in your institute till date are following unfair practice of telling lie to your students, either to disguise their mistakes or retain your business. Now no faith is left with me on your faculty, examiners, evaluators…..

Now, do you expect me to accept all these unfair practices & continue? Do you think telling lies to student as to retain him is fair practice? Do you think students at your institute are having any value in such a scenario? Are they getting true value for the fee they are paying?

Below mail is stating that regulations in force don’t allow canceling the admission, Does any regulations allows you to follow unfair practices in your business or service? Here I am continuously facing unfair practice from your institute, and I am fully dissatisfied with your services. Your institute is forcing compulsion on me to continue & pay all EMIs. Doesn’t it seem a state of monopoly where I have to pay for dissatisfactory services? I took conscious decision & gave firm commitment by referring your glamorous advertisements in media & having faith on your institute with out knowing truth.

Having dissatisfaction on your service standards & business practices, I am not continuing M.B.A with your institute where there is no value to me & my money. I don’t want to waste my money as well as precious time being a student of an institute having unfair practice of giving false commitments & false statements.

I don’t want to get a Masters Degree in Business from an institute which is itself having unfair practice of Business.

As I am canceling at enrolment stage itself, with out having/enjoying any kind of services from your institute, I request you authorities to do the necessary arrangements for repayment of my money of Rs .46, 500 (Rs. 21, 300 already encashed & 6300 x 4 PDCs) as earliest as possible.

Your soonest reply & action would be highly appreciated.

Thanks & regards,

Santhosha Nayak. S

Dear Mr. Santhosha Nayak S,

You may note that students are required to pay the program fee as per the prospectus at the time of enrollment itself. However, for the benefit of those students who could not pay the program fee and to avoid hassles associated with arrangement of funds through alternative sources, the EMI facility is offered to faclitate such students to pursue the program.

Accordingly, the facility was extended to you on your specific request and commitment to honor the PDCs issued for the facility.

You are, therefore advised to ensure honoring of all the PDCs on time.

Hi…

Thanks for your reply. You are saying me to continue M.B.A with ICFAI, but such false commitments & false statements are still continuing. I hope, being sales development manager, you & your management can clarify my following points with valid & reasonable answers.

1) As reply to my mail to Mr. Chirag (dated 22nd Oct 08) your SSD (Student Supporting Dept.!!!) has sent me a mail on 23rd Oct 08 stating that my enrollment letter has been already e-mailed to my e-mail id on 3rd Oct. 08. But I received e-mail of enrollment letter on 22nd Oct.08 and that letter itself states that it’s drafted on 22nd Oct. Pls let me know is it possible to your SSD to e-mail a letter on 3rd Oct, which is drafted on 22nd Oct? If so why can’t they fwd me that mail of 3rd Oct 08 even after my request?

2) Further to this your SSD is advising me to do the follow up with Blue Dart courier by giving me consignment number for delivery of courseware for Group – A. (mail from SSD dtd 24th Oct 08. Pls let me know your Student Service Dept. is there to provide service to students or advise the students?

If I have to do the follow up with the courier company for my courseware, why I have to join the ICFAI by paying lakhs of Rs fee towards course? Even govt. based open universities offer M.B.A at very lower fee. I joined ICFAI expecting better & qualitative service for my money. But here it is only false commitments & false statements!!!

3) In your mail you are saying that my course material was dispatched from your HQ on 10 Oct 08 & it was returned back twice as there was lock at my place. But your SSD is saying that it has been dispatched from their side on 23rd Oct 08!! (mail from SSD dtd. 24th Oct 08) Can you pls provide with valid receipt no. for courier sent from your place & valid documentary proof given to you by Courier Company for lock at consignee’s place?

4) You are saying that courier was sent twice & returned back both the times as there was lock at my place. If so, why didn’t you confirm with me, about my availability time at home & correctness of address before sending it second time?

5) After having all this bitter experience continuously,

a) How can I believe that in future you will give me better service?

b) How can I believe that my examinations will conduct on time?

c) How can I believe that examination question papers will supplied to exam centers required security?

d) How can I believe that my answer papers will evaluated honestly at your university?

Finally, after experiencing all these false commitments & false statements, I am going to withdraw my decision of M.B.A from ICFAI at enrollment stage itself. Pls arrange for repayment of my Rs. 15000 (Fifteen thousand) within next 7 bank working days (the word ‘bank’ stands for bank scheduled under RBI act.). If same amount is paid through outstation cheque or any other outstation bank instruments ICFAI need to pay clearing & any other charges as applicable. (the word outstation is with reference to my banker, i.e AXIS BANK LTD. Thane Branch).

If repayment is made within next 7 bank working days (the word ‘bank’ stands for bank scheduled under RBI act.), the separate mail will be sent to my banker as an order of stop payment against post paid cheques issued to ICFAI. If not this same mail will be forwarded for the same.

Hope you and your management will revert back to me with proper clarification to all my above points, otherwise I need to ask clarification to these points with general public with public interest & public awareness.

Looking forward for your reply.

Attached below (highlighted in yellow color) are the mails I received from your SSD for your ref.

Thanks & Regards,

Santhosha Nayak. S
