Fw: NON TRANSPARENT ACCOUNTING SYSTEM: CUSTOMER ID 3001473234
Ms. Rashmi,
1. The statements you have sent to me are in respect of only the second connection. The charges of Rs. 500 on account of "Service Charge for replacing STB" are unjustified and uncalled for. The settop box has been provided by you and you are responmsible for its proper functioning. Only if it has been dropped or tampered with by us you can charge us for Service Charge.
Please, therefore, arrange to afford credit for the same without further delay.
Repleacement of a defective STB sourced and supplied by you within one year of its supply can not be charged to the customer.
2. You have not forwarded the details of the first connection where i paid Rs. 4000 in August.
3. You are also silent about the reasons for inordinate delay in reponding to my emails and numerous calls to various call centres of Airtel.
4. You have also not mentioned reasons foer sending incomeptent unskilled people to reorient the antenna.
5. There is no mention of the reasons for adding a channel after 14 days of request and why the customer had to waste 10s of hours of his valuable time for getting just just channel added to the services.
6.
The address mentioned on the statement is as under:
Mr Pk Gupta
6043/2 SAMIRI
Mumbai
Where as the correct address mentioned by me while acquiring the connection in Sept was:
B K Gupta, 604-B2, Samriddhi, Near VVF Ltd.
Sion East Mumbai-400022
022-24046022, 9920205615
7. Does one need say anything else about the efficiency of your people manning the systems?
8. It needs to be explained why a customer had to go through the ordeal of three weeks to get as simple a thing as statement of account of his two connections?
9. Even after so much wastage of time, I have been provided with only one statement about the secondary connection. The statement about the primary connection is yet to be provided by you.
10. Who were the people in your Customer Response (email deptt who were sleeping over the emails sent by me for solong and what actuiioon has been taken against them. did they repons to any email at all during the periond beginning 4th may till 18th May.
11. Why did the Food Food channel again go off the air from my STB on 18th May? who goofed up the matter. i had to spend two days and many hours tin talking to your help centre people to get it back. every time I talked to them they gave a different response.
On 18th May from 8.40 pm till 10 pm, I contacted your help centre 18001028080 so many times:
Rahul disconnected midway without giving solution
Anshu said there were techniccal reasons for FOODFOOD not being telecast presently and it was for all viewers.
She asked me to send HR message to 54325. I did that nothiing happened.
9.15 pm I talked with Abhishek (Interaction ID 154099385) Kanhaiya Kumar (Hindi) and Anshu. One of them told me to contact Airtel's Customer Relations Centre at Vasai, Mumbai. When I asked for their tele. number they replied that they did not have the number and you have to go personally there.
On my mobile I received a message contact SST@12149. When I asked the Help centre people how do I contact them they said "you dial this number through your Airtel number". Is it obligatory for subscribers of Airtel Digital to take Airtel mobile connection as well?
9.42 Mukesh picked up the line and asked me to wait for 30 minutes to restore the channel. He was one person who was polite and couteous of the lot mentioned above.
The Food Food channel was not restored that night.
On 19th may
At 6.405 am I again contacted the Call Centre. Rishu picked up the call. She said STB ID was not found on their system. gave complaint number 8102874.
At 2.50 pm Neha from Airtel called and said that STB ID was not matching. I asked her that if this was the case how was the channel live for last four days. She advised that airtel was giving a free demo of the chnannel for 5 days.
At 3.10 my wife dialled helpcentre again. One Taufiq picked up the call. aagin told us to SMS HR to 54325. Nothing happened.
At 4.30 pm my wife again called the helpcentre and then the channel was restored.
Does a customer have to go through so many motions to get a service with so many hassles.
I have wasted so much of my time in putting this in writing because I feel that if this sort of ordeal has to be gone through by a literate metro customer at thte hands of Airtel staff what will be the case in rspect of ordinary customers?
12. I am forwarding a copy of this letter to your CEO Mr. Ajai Puri so that he wakes up the slumbering work force being presided over by him.
I feel that what I suffered was not a one off case, it must be happening to a large number of your customers. please set your hous in order in order togrow your business by improving customer service and technical support.

P Please do not print this e-mail
unless it is absolutely necessary P
It is a matter of regret that despite my repated efforts through telephone and email you have niot yet provided me the sdetailed statement of my accounts.
2. Does your customer service come to a halt after collecting annual subscription?
3. Yours is a very customer unfriendly company. Even emails sent to your senior people have not elicited any reply.
How inefficient can a leading telecom company of india, having
international presence become and what kind of image are you presenting to
your customers by remaining non communicative and unconcerned about
customers' queries?
Please pass this message on to Sh. Sunil Mittal s/o Late Sh. Sat Pal Mittal, MP owner of Airtel so that he can for himself judhge the inefficiency and non responsiveness of his officers and Customer Service
Department.

Dear Sir,
You have been unable to solve the issues memnetioned below despite my repeated calls to your helpcentre and emails.
I qoute below the efforts made by me to get it solved :
On 05.05.2010 an unskilled person named Mazid was sent for relocation of antenna to add Food Food Channel No327. He spent more than two hours but miserably failed to anything. He carried no idenity Card from Airtel.
One Amol, reportedly your vendor for relocation, at 7738084140 was contacted. he said he will send another "engineer". Nobody has come so far.
8.05.2011 From 2.00 pm till 5.00 pm I contacted your helpline 18001028080 repeatedly to get the issu resolved.
There was no positive response. Helpline agents who attended the calls are: Mr. Rajesh, Ms. Alka and Ms. Karuna. They said that the system was being upgraeded so we cant access your complaint.
Ms Karuna told me that we are collecting the desired information and will come back to you. But they never returned the call.
At about 5.00 pm the response to clal centre changed to: SMS CALL to 54235. I sent an SMS which was acknowledged but nobody called.
I again sent an SMS on 9.05.11 to 54235. A person called after 4 hours listen to my issues and told me that he would call back. he never came back.
One of the agents gave me the number of Mr. K Rao Nodal Officer for Maharashtra (022-40213261). I tried this number many times but nobody picked up the same.
On 10.05.11
