Reliance Wimax — bill payment

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

I had reliance wimax connection in 2008. one month before vacating the house in April 2008, i called the customer care and asked for the connection to be removed. They dint respond even after repeated requests. I vacated the house.

I received a bill for 2 months usage probably in June 2008. Apparently the connected was removed one month after i had vacated the house. I was asked to pay for the bill for a period when i had not used the internet. For the negligence on the part of reliance wimax, i have been made the scapegoat. I told them give me the bill for one month, i will pay it, i wont pay 2 months bill. They never came back. So i never paid the bill for the one month usage also.

A lawyer calls me today and tells reliance communications has lodged a complaint against for non-payment of dues. He tells me that i may be penalized up to 50,000 rupees plus lawyers etc. If i want to settle it outside the court i have to pay the 2 months bill amount immediately or else fight the case in court.

I dont understand why reliance waited for 4 years to lodge a case and that too for no fault of mine. I dont understand what to do.
