Website:idea cellular net setter

IDEA CELLULAR MUMBAI TEL NO [protected].
I was using net setter of Idea having no [protected]. My billing cycle is from 7 th of each month to 6 th of next month.
I have informed idea on 7 th of JUNE 2016 for disconnecting my net setter with immediate effect . I got a message by email on 9th June 2016 that Same request will be effected by 11th June 12 .23 00 pm.
Message is reproduced bellow.
“ Dear Customer,
your request for Disconnection has been registered with us successfully for [protected].Your Service Request No.C1-[protected] would be actioned by11/06/2016 12:23:00 PM”.
On 10 th June I got message
“On Fri, Jun 10, 2016 at 2:43 PM, wrote:
Dear Customer, your request for Disconnection on Mob.No. [protected] has been processed successfully through SR No.C1-[protected]. “
On 7th July 2016 I got my tel.bill for month of June 16 as Rs 348.18. Copy attached as annexure 2 l
I was surprised to see the amount immediately contacted customer care by e mail to check the bill.I got standard reply that As per system bill amount is correct. I tried to convince them by no of follow ups mails . I have askerd them to check the bill . But I was not satisfied with the responces.
If you see the front page of bill you will see graphical representation showing that I have not used at all my net setter in that month. On page 5 they have given details of date 25 th June showing over usage in the month as ( - ). But while calculating it is taken as (+) and charged me accordingly.
I Here by request you to kindly consider my case and give me justice.
I am ready to pay your pro rata bill from 7th June 2016 to 10 June 2016.
