Hi,

I have received the call from your customer care representative from mobile number [protected].
He doesn't provide any solution but repetedly stating that balace can not be refeunded because you activated it.

Irony part is when I aksed him atleast tell me what is this model villa service, he doesn't has a clue about model villa.
How can you assign a person to solve the problem when he doesn't even has knowledge of the problem.

In the original complain I have mention the message what I have recieved when I tried to stop the service.

So kindly refund the amount and stop this service from my number or tell me here only not on my phone you cann't do this.
Dear Customer,

As per your telecon with our customer service associate on 13th Sept 2015, we have thoroughly checked your Idea account details and it is found that the charges applied to you are correct as per the VAS plan assigned. For further assistance, kindly contact our Idea customer care helpline.

Thanks & Regards,

Not satisfied your response but its ok, I can not afford to waste more time with you for 70+ rupee
Same incident happen to me now they detected rs 75 from my balance [protected] and customer care executive told I requested from my side and there is no option to refund. Idea instead of doing this tactics go and beg on streets.
