My reply to this letter on same day was as follows and the mail was marked to collections.v@airtelmail.in

Hello

Its been long time I told Airtel's customer care executive that my regular bill payment was automated and payment was through SBI ESC payment system. It was running successfully from last 1.5 years and suddenly I stopped getting bill notification from Airtel.

Hence I think It is the mistake from Airtel's part and I had gone through a lot of stress and harassment while relocating to a new location because of your collection call and intimations. There is no mistake from my part. If I am not getting bill then how can Airtel assume that I will pay for it.

Please dig deep into this matter and find out the reason why I did not receive automated bill on my SBI account.

Regards

Puneet

Since then I did not receive any email or call from Airtel until December, 8 when followed mail arrived to my email box

I am attaching the calculation which is due (INR 835.47 only please see the calculation attached) from my side even accepting the mistake from Airtel's side. Please see the calculation and let me know if Airtel ready to settle for that amount.

Though I called Airtel (121) several times and asked them to close my connection and have gone through a lot of stress due to all this carelessness from Airtel's side, still being a loyal Airtel customer from over 6 years and I do not want to spoil that relation and bond just because of one miss happening due to miss communication between SBI bank's ECS and Airtel payment system. I expect Airtel to ratify this error and live to their "customer first" values.

Please see what you can do over this issue.

Regards

Puneet Gupta
