[Resolved]  Airtel — Refund of Modem caution deposit and Modem cost

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I got my Airtel modem installed on 27.08.09 (Receipt No. ZC[protected]. I paid Rs. 1500 for the modem. I was told that there is no installation charges as I already had broadband connection (I just changed the modem). The person who installed informed me that since I have paid the modem amount, I need not have to return the modem at any time. But when I requested for disconnection of the airtel landline phone on 17.05.13, I was surprised to see that a person named Mr. Rajesh took the modem along with the phone inspite of me telling that the modem is ours. I lodged a complaint (Complaint No.[protected] on 7.6.13 and had a talk with Mr. Krishna. I asked him to pay back Rs. 1500 plus Rs 1000 (caution deposit) for the modem. There wasnt any response. Since then I have made many calls to the customer care but in vain ( had conversation with Mr. Sivakumar, Mr. Santosh, Mr. Ramesh, Mr. Surya, Ms. Asha and Ms. Kavitha on 11th, 13th, 19th, 20th and 27th of June 2013). I personally visited the Airtel office at Fore shore estate, Chennai and talked with Mr Arun. He informed me that Rs. 1500 was installation charges and cant be refunded. What kind of company they run? One time they say its modem cost, now they say its installation cost. Am I a fool to believe that Rs 1500 is installation cost? Yes maybe I was a fool to choose airtel and not other better brands. In addition to that, I receive a call saying that I have to pay bill for the period 7.5.13 to 25.5.13 for an amount of Rs. 710.40 though the landline was disconnected on 17.5.13. Still I didnt receive the bill and why am I to pay for the extra 8 days?

I want Airtel to immediately refund my Rs.1500 plus Rs.1000 = Rs. 2500. Also if they want to reduce the bill amount for May month (Rs.629.21 from security deposit) they might go ahead and pay me the rest amount. I want a justification for the bill amount of Rs.710 as mentioned already.

Bharti Airtel — INSTALLATION CHARGES PAID AND CONNECTION NOT INSTALLED AND NOT GET REFUND FOR THE PAID MONEY

Dear Sir,

We have applied for New broadband connection from BHARTI AIRTEL LIMITED on 16th of March 2010, I filled up the form and was provided with receipt of Rs 250/- as an installation charges.. I was told that your connection will be installed in 48 working hours..

I called up several times in Airtel customer care every time got the message that it will take time of 2-3 more days; on 25/03/2010.. I regestired a written complaint in Airtel office Lobby 224.. Then I started receiving the calls that we have not received your complete documents. After giving the complete documents three times.. Got another call that we have received Installation charges from your side then I submitted the Receipt copy... Again for 5 days no one turned up I wrote one more complaint letter what was refused to receive by Airtel customer care office..

Again I received call from Marketing executive for what I have complete details saying Sir we are sorry because we were harassing you so that you take back your installation charges because we don't have extra connection in your area to spare.. So I got Relience Broadband connection and asked Airtel executive to reimburse my installation charges after that I received atleast 10-15 calls from Airtel to confirm for the reimbursement..

BUT From that to till date nor I go the connection and neither I got back my installation charges paid to Airtel..

Please take some serious action as to make your valuable customers not to loose believe in justice

Airtel Broadband — No proper installation done

The Airtel Connection was given to me after repeated complaints to the Local Area manager in Hyuderabad and had a lot of difficulty after paying the amount in cash. Also I was promised that Antivirus software will be installed immediately after the system format being done which is done and am constantly calling the person with phone no, given to me by the person who installed the Broad band connection which it self was an agony.
After paying for the format and getting it done constant calls to the no. [protected] of the representative gives all false promises and never attends the complaint. The system is now suddenly stopping in between as there is not antivirus installed which was promised to us.

It seems that the complants are not taken seriously. In that case please disconnect the same and refund the amount immediately.

Please act against such fools who bring bad new to the company.

The agent who took the money assured me that the connection will be done within two working days.

Nothing happen again for one week, then I fainally went to the head office by my self where the manager again assured me that the work will be done withing one week.
But as it had to be,no one came up with any solution.
Now I have lost enough time and money and have been harassed.

AirTel — Non-refund of deposit

Hi...I am an Airtel Prepaid Customer. In the first week of August 2011, I received a call from Airtel Postpaid (Kiran: [protected]) to change to a postpaid connection. During the conversation, I had informed them that I was unemployed and they still said the connection would be provided and collected a deposit of Rs. 300 from me. After that, there had been no further communication from them and hence I called them regarding the status of my connection and was informed that my postpaid application was rejected for the reason being I am unemployed. I had to make numerous calls to the customer care after which I was given the number of the coordinator (Kavitha: [protected]) who informed me that the deposit would be refunded within 45 days (excluding weekends and holidays). It has been more than 45 days and there has been no communication from Airtel regarding the refund. I am also not able to receive any satisfactory response from them when I get in touch with them.

Though the amount involved is small, it is surprising to note how long a number one leader in telecom sector would take to repay a valid refund.

Kindly do the needful.

Akila

Hi...I am glad that Airtel Nodal acted quickly and returned my amount also soon. :)

They said they will take appropriate action to prevent such kind of incidents happening.

Anyone with similar complaint like mine, please do contact Airtel Nodal of your State.

Thanks and Regards,
