[Resolved]  Homeshop18 — Breach of Payment Terms

Address:Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Dear Readers,

I ordered a WHITE SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II N7100 Phone on 17th November 2012 from Homeshop18.

Instead of a white phone their vendor in delhi dispatched a black phone. On complaining a homeshop18 representative apologized and gave me Rs 1000 gift voucher for the error, to persuade me to keep the phone. Since the color was acceptable i took the offer.

Now, i had bought the phone online for a 12 mth Kotak Card Emi. Although over 2 mths have passed, this has not been intimated till date to Kotak Mahindra Credit Card. Kotak Mahindra is charging me full amount and when i said i wont pay full amount they say they will levy interest charges on full unpaid amount.

Despite several calls and emails to Homeshop18 the customer care did not respond , finally when i raised 2 tickets on the website there was a small response.

I asked Homeshop18 to provide me with proof of intimation, of 12 Month EMI Conversion, to my credit card company (as requested by Kotak Cards themselves).

Instead of furnishing me the proof, Homeshop18 wants me to share my credit card bill with them before they can do anything.

This company portrays itself as a reputed company but it is very much to the contrary, they are just playing around with customers until the customer gets tired and shuts up.

I keep travelling abroad for long periods , i cannot afford to keep calling and following up with both Homeshop18 and Kotak Mahindra on the status.

These faceless online companies are taking consumers for granted. They should atleast have a separate complaint cell. Everytime one calls you have to speak to an uninitiated "customer care" representative and explain the case to them. Then they pretend to transfer the line to someone senior and just disconnect the line.

I AM AT MY WITS END AND WANT TO EITHER RETURN THE PHONE AND RECEIVE FULL CREDIT FOR EVERY PAISE I HAVE PAID OR GET THE EMI CONVERSION DONE IMMEDIATELY.

I had earlier posted complaint on this website regarding samsung galaxy note 2 purchased online from homeshop18.

They had sold the phone on 12 month emi. for this I have an invoice and also mail confirmations from their customer service rep.

They have made only empty promises until now to resolve. After 2 months of dilly dallying and saying that emi conversion will happen in this billing cycle, suddenly they are saying that it had got converted in december 2012 and I should follow up with my credit card company kotak.

Why do I have to follow up with my bank. I have purchased on homeshop website and they have agreed to make available 12 emis on payment by my credit card co at a specified processing charge.

I am already seeking legal opinion and feel that others who have been cheated by homeshop should join in.

Also these issues need to be highlighted in media so they dont carry on doing this to paying customers.

Hi Samir,

As discussed, The payment is already been converted into EMI'S and you can pay only 12th part of the amount on due date.

First of all I have repeatedly asked for a proof of intimation to kotak bank for emi. You are cunningly concealing this information.

You are not the bank. My credit in bank does not reflect your empty words and promises regarding conversion. You cannot give directive to me to pay only 1/12 of amount, whereas my bank wants entire payment.

I have purchased through homeshop and it is your responsibility not mine to get conversion done.

I REPEAT, I NEED PROOF OF INTIMATION TO MY BANK SO I CAN FURNISH IT TO THEM. IF YOU HAVE TO INTIMATE THEM FEW MORE TIMES IT IS YOUR RESPONSILITY. DO IT AGAIN AND KEEP ME IN THE CC SO THAT I CAN MONITOR AND TAKE IT UP WITH MY BANK. THIS FINAL AND YOU ARE LEGALLY BOUND TO DO IT, ANY DISCLAIMERS WILL FURTHER PROOVE YOUR INTENT TO DEFRAUD CUSTOMERS WITH MISLEADING MARKETING AND SALES POLICIES
By the way after 2mths you guys have come to know that you had converted emis. I have email and recorded conversations (so would your company have recordings) where your representatives have said it will get converted in next billing cycle. Now which of you guys is telling the truth. Please coordinate amongst yourselves before trying to take customer for a ride.
Hi Samir,

Please share the latest Bank Statement to [protected]@homeshop18.com to get this resolved ASAP.

Homeshop18
ARE YOU GUYS PLAYING GAMES YOU ARE ASKING FOR STATEMENT AGAIN. YOU GIVE ME PROOF OF INTIMATION. BELOW IS REPLY I HAVE RECEIVED FROM MANASH KALITA FROM YOUR ORGANISATION

"Dear Mr. Sameer,

Greetings from Homeshop18!In regards to your query we request you to kindly contact your Kotak bank forrefund the extra charges. From our end we have forwarded the request. We arenot tied up with any bank. For any kind of EMI issue you need to request yourbank so that they will do the same as soon as possible."

REMOVE ALL ADVERTISEMENTS REGARDING EMI FROM YOUR WEBSITE AS IT WILL BE DEEMED YOUR RESPOSIBILITY. THE BANKS HAVE NOT STATED ANYTHING ON THEIR WEBSITE REGARDING BUYING HOMESHOP PRODUCT ON EMI.
Hi Samir,

We understand your concern however we still need the latest Bank Statement to get this processed as we have received the Initmation from bank that this is been converted to EMI'S.

Regards,
Homeshop18
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHICH ORGANISATION YOU REPRESENT. MANASH KALITA FROM HOMESHOP IS CLEARING STATING FROM YOUR OFFICIAL ORGANISATION MAIL ID THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY TIE UP WITH ANY BANK. HOW DO YOU CLAIM TO HAVE CONVERTED IT TO EMIS.

SO IN THE END THE THING BOILS DOWN TO ALSO MISUSE OF BANKS NAME FOR EMI SCHEMES ON YOUR WEBSITE.
If any of my fellow consumers is interested in filing suit for damages, I will be happy to join hands to fight against this shameless and deceitful company with ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Finally received confirmation that my emi has been converted in this statement. So homeshop18 has been lying all this while. They will have to refund all penalties and interest charged to me by credit card company as well as mental harassment for delaying the conversion along with long hours of calling and waiting. THIS SITE IS WONDERFUL. WILL KEEP POSTING STATUS OF LEGAL CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. Also 1 more deceitful thing done by company. The gift voucher which I have mentioned they gave. Now they say it is for minimum cart value of 5000 rs. Whereas at the time of issue of gift certificateI have conftimation mail that there is no minimum purchase cart value

I am also facing problem regarding order No.[protected]. I have ordered for sewing machine on[protected] but I am intimated that the same is shipped on[protected] but even after 10 days I have not got my sewing machine.
Jayjeev, i am looking to pursue matter further in court. i have all email evidence of their lies including about the gift voucher. i have confirmation from my credit card company. so all the evidence is in place. I hope you also take the matter further with them. try to gather greater support so that people like us together can make this company answerable for their malpractices.
Homeshop18 is sucking... I am not going to buy anything from them now onwards. Planned to buy a Galaxy phone but reading the feedback, changed my mind.

Samir, thanks for posting it here.. your experience was really helpful.
