[Resolved]  Airtel Digital TV — Refund of money after disconnection

Address:Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

I was not getting TV reception from 20th April 2011. After repeated complaints, (complaint nos7312982, 7344089), a technician called Sanjay from Dharmasagar Enterprises( supervisor Baburao, [protected]) determined that TV Set top Box was not working and that it would be relaced. It was not replaced for 3 more than days ( earlier in January 2011, I had the same problem. it took 7 days to replace set top box and I did not have TV reception during those 7 days). So I asked for disconnection and refund of my subscription that I paid for 1 year in February 2011. Airtel calculated the balance and said an amount of Rs.3210.31 was due for me.
By complaint no 7377784 they intimated me that the complaint is resolved and money will be refunded. It was not refunded. On 11th May by another complaint no 7841388 they said again the complaint is resolved and money will be refunded in a week. It was not paid. on 27th may2011 I wrote to [protected]@airtel.in that they should pay me 3% per month interest as they are holding on to my money. They have not replied me so far.
On 28th may I contacted their local customer care cell phone number[protected] and requested for satish kumar their manage. Insted a gentle man called Salauddin, came on line, talked to their accounts department and said that money will be refunded by end of may 2011 by a cheque. to day is 14th June I have so far not received my refund.

Airtel DTH Disconnection - No Refund

Hi,

I was trying to disconnect my Airtel DTH connection after a series of disappointments with their service and the way they are handling customer requests more worse than a local vendor. Not sure why Airtel is not focusing on the maintenance of its DTH service. If they cannot maintain, why not shut it off.

Now the great thing I have learned is that they will not refund money for the STB and antenna, i[censored]ser requests for a disconnection. While giving the connection they told that my money will be refunded for STB and antenna.

So, not just a bad service, but they have also grown to cheat people.

Sudhakar.
