Aircel — Unwanted service activated and amount deducted from balance on mobile

Dear Sir,
As per Aircel instruction, I dial on 155223 frequently to know whether any service has been activated on my account or not. Till date[protected], on every time, it has been telling that no service is subscribed. But, since[protected], some amounts have been being deducted from my account daily. I called 198 and there, I was utter surprised to know that some service has been activated.
I am aware of this type of activities for long and I therefore, repeatedly requested their customer care “Not to activate any type of service without my request”, as, I only use my mobile for voice call only. Recently, they, on their own, has been calling me to activate various such packs and I, as usual, denied them on all times and being so much annoyed of their such disturbances, I have already blocked some numbers from where they call for this kind of business. Still, they have activated the pack with their superb technology, I don’t know how.
Even, the Aircel Customer Care is not ready to listen to my all words also. Neither can they resolve my problem. They only are insisting me to deactivate the pack with some SMS. They are not ready to answer my question: i) why this has been activated without my request, ii) when my deducted amount would be refunded.
–And now, they are not even accepting my calls at 198.
I also made some e-mails w.e.f. 27-02-15 to care.[protected]@aircel.co.in, (copies given below) but they have replied that “refund is not applicable as service has been activated from your end.” It is a big false statement that they also know. If they record all my conversation(s), as they claim, it would not be possible for them to prove it. Question of request through SMS does not arise, as, on this number, I never sent any SMS to them for activating this.
Please do the needful to stop this type of disgraceful business for the sake of all Indians and my delicate relation with Aircel for a long period. I also request to please take steps to stop the pack duly refunding the unlawfully deducted amount from my account.

Thanking you, Sir.

Dear Sir,

Your good concern is very much aware of the fact that, I never requested for activating any such type of pack. As mentioned in your reply (dated Mar 7) that "service has been activated from your end", is also a great false and fake statement, your good concern does know this very well.
It is therefore requested to let me know how can I get rid of such type of disgraceful business that your concern is playing in spite of my several request not to activated anything without my request from the very beginning of having the connection. The recordings of my conversation(s) made with your customer care service so far, if recorded at all, may please be referred to. If it is not available, please give me the opportunity to present the same for the sake of actual TRUTH.
It is further once again requested to stop the unwanted service and refund the unlawfully deducted amount from my account with cumulative effect.
If, however, it is not at your capacity to solve the problem, please intimate the authority to whom I may appeal.
Thanking you, once again, in anticipation.

Dear Sir,

Please refer to your mail dated 10 March.

Your office has stated that the charges found correct. Please note, the charges deducted are not only illegal, but unlawful and incorrect also. In this context, please let me have the para-wise replies of the following:

i) On record, I never requested to activate the service. Why this was activated?

ii) Has the responsible individual been pinpointed who had done such dishonest job?

iii) The wrongful job of such activation o[censored]nwanted service was initiated from your end. In spite of my several request, why this was not deactivated at your end? Why am I being requested to initiate to stop the service where some other is blameable for the crime?

iv) Why the unauthorised deducted amount still not refunded to my balance.

iv) Why the case has not yet been forwarded/referred to higher competent authority if the same is not resolvable at your level?

Thanking you, in anticipation of a prompt action please.

Dear Sir,
Please refer to your mail dated[protected].
Para-wise reply of my requirements is not found placed on it.
Re-iteration of false statements from your end is not only against all type of legal procedures, but also goes against the long goodwill of your concern. Please let me know the procedure how did your superb technicians activate the pack without any of my initiations, so that, I can alert the other Indians about such type of dishonest business, which, I may guess that, even some of your own neighbours also have surely faced.
Thanking you, in anticipation of refunding the dishonestly and illegally deducted amount from my balance by your concern.
