Bharti Airtel Limited - Airtel Broadband
Advance rental paid but non-operational connection airtel account number 7000408875

Hi,

This is Kalpesh Shah. I opted for Airtel Fixed line Broad Band connection since June. I paid advance rental of INR 10909 for one year in June for fixed line number: 079-40095009 account number 7000408875.

Inspite of making full payment in advance, neither I am getting proper service and the connection is non-operational since last Friday and the irony is that I am being charged for this non-functional services. This has happened multiple number of times since I have taken the connection as communicated in my earlier mails.

I have faced outage / poor services for almost a month in last 8 months for which I have been charged by your company. I surrendered my previous landline number thinking to get best services from Airtel, but due to their irresponsible service I am facing huge problem on my professional front.

I want the full rental amount back since the connection is not operative and also a proper clarification from your end why the connection is not being repaired.

FEW MAIL COMMUNICATIONS ARE GIVEN BELOW FOR REFERENCE.

Best Regards,

Kalpesh Shah

Hi Ritika,

Thanks for your kind response. However, your response is not addressing my last mail written to your office. My last communication is attached herewith for your kind perusal.

I am sorry to say this, but I am not happy with this way my complaint is being handled by Airtel.

My connection is non-operational since last Friday and the irony is that I am being charged for this non-functional services. This has happened multiple number of times since I have taken the connection as communicated in my earlier mails.

I have faced outage / poor services for almost a month in last 8 months for which I have been charged by your company (Kindly refer to the attached previous communication mails).

Hope, someone at Airtel understands the importance of the term customer satisfaction and attends to my problem. Else, you can continue using my money without providing the assured services.

Looking forward to an early response for some responsible post at Airtel.

Thanks & Rgds,

Kalpesh Shah

Hi,

Please note that this is the 4th time in last one month that the service has been affected due to Cabling disconnection / cut issue.

I am not looking forward to such stop gap arrangements and I am sorry to say, but I am not free enough to keep on complaining and tracking the issues every second day.

Further, service outage for 4-5 days in a month is not acceptable by any standards and I am not interested to waste my money on such poor service.

As per my information, the problem is occurring time and again because there is no agreement signed between Airtel and the Society for putting up the infrastructure and ensuring the security of the same. Hence, there is every

probability of the issue occurring repeatedly.

It is surprising as to how a reputed company like Airtel install its infrastructure in a society / private premise without proper agreement / permission? Please note that it is highly unfair to penalize your customers for

your negligence.

If Airtel is not able to bring about a permanent resolution to the chronicle problem at the earliest, I would not like to continue with the services.

Request your kind support to ensure a permanent resolution to the repeatedly poor service problem before 25th Jaunary 2012. Else, kindly cancel my services and refund me my balance amount paid towards advance rental at the earliest.

Hi,

I have lodged a complaint at your call centre regarding the non-availability of service.

I also got a call from one of your engineers. He told me that he cannot rectify the issue as they do not have permission from the society to work on the infra issue.

I still fail to understand as to how can a company like Airtel lay its infrastructure in a private premise without proper permissions. Further, if at all Airtel as a company has made a blunder of doing so, why should I be penalized as customer?

I have circulated my Fixed line number to the world and now I cannot afford doing away with it. In the eventuality of Airtel not being able to resolve my problem in the next 24 hours, I want all my money paid towards advance rental along with Installation charges refunded.

Also, Airtel has to compensate me for the lose that I am incurring due to non-availability of Fixed line and broad band services as my business is dependent of it.

Request someone senior from your organization to handle this issue and provide me an immediate resolution.

Regards,

Kalpesh Shah

Subject: FW: Bill Descripency - Complaint ID : 1627898 & 1622150

Hi,

I really feel sorry for being your customer. I feel that I have made a

criminal mistake by subscribing to Airtel. Despite the trailing mail and

repeated assurances from your Nodal Officer Mr. Deepti Agrawal and your

customer care executives, Ihavnt received any support from your end.

My connection stands barred since past one week and I am constantly receiving

calls from your collection department. I have trieddesperately to get the

connection / services cancelled, but have been informed that the same is not

possible till the connection is de-barred. Ihaven¿t felt so helpless with any

servicesI have subscribed till date.

Today, finally Igot a call from your customer care which happened to amplify my

woes further. As per the call received from Ms. Momitafrom your customer care,

the details of my payment for Rs. 10909 are not available with you in

yourrecords.

Pleasefindattached the details of my Bank Account wherein the said amount of

Rs. 10909 has been paid to¿BhartiAirtelLtd¿ on 21/05.

I feel cheated as I have to prove myself¿Not-Guilty¿ for a crime committed by

your organization. I havnt seen services more pathetic as that of your

organization wherein a customer is severely penalized for your

internalinefficiencies.

The details of my communication with your inefficient system till date is as

listed below :

1) I received dubious bill statement from you (my first bill) stating an

outstanding amount of Rs. 11, 141. I tried to lodge complaints several times

since 10th July. However, your executives did not register my complaint

under the pretext that your Customer Care System upgradation was on from 9th to

22nd July.

2) I started getting calls from collection agencies in last week of July,

threatening to Bar my services. They were indifferent to my problem and were

not ready to understand the issue.

3) Finally I was able to get through your customer care and lodged a

complaint vide, Complaint ID : 1622150 to Mr. Prakash on 1st August. He

assured me of his so called best support.

4) I also got in touch with your Nodal Office and lodged a complaint vide

Comlaint ID : 1627898 to Mrs. Deepti Agrawal, Nodal Officer on 1st August

2011. Her courtesy gave me false hope without realizing that more torture was

yet to come.

5) I also wrote a mail to: [email protected];

[email protected], on 1st August explaining my problem in

details. Once again a futile effort from my end. No reprieve / relief from your

criminal services.

6) My services got barred despite assurance from Ms. Deepti Agrawal and

the call from your collection agencies continue till date.

7) I again called up you CC and had interactions with many more

inefficient people at your end. Details of the same are as under :

a. Interaction ID : 10535096 ¿ Mr. Bishwajit Mishra, dated 3rd August 201

b. Interaction ID : 10534796 ¿ Mr. Dinesh Bhat, Manager, dated 3rd

August

8) No revert since then. Today, Call received from Momita, Airtel Telemedia

CC stating that the cheque is not found in their records and I need to make

payment by cash¿.

All I can say is ¿ GOD SAVE AIRTEL!! ¿

Request you to kindly help me come out of this mess so that my services get

debarred and I can proceed with CancellationsofServices. I will then have to

againstart the never ending process of getting myadvance payment
