[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — Complaint against your representative for giving false information and befooling Rs 300/-

Address:Kolkata, West Bengal, 700004
Website:www.ideacellular.com

On 04/11/2016, i bought a 4g ready idea sim card [postpaid mnp 3 in 1 sim; sim no:[protected], imsi no: [protected]]. I was delivered this sim card against a payment of rs 300/- in cash to one of their representatives, mr subhankar das (Cell no: [protected]). I was confirmed over the phone by their representative, ms puja (Cell no: [protected]) and mr aditya mukherjee to pay rs 300/- to mr das in order to collect their sim card from him and port my existing number, which they confirmed will be gradually adjusted from my subsequent 3 bills for rs 100/- each. I was offered the bengal tiger horizon 199 plan for a monthly rental of rs 199/-. I was handed a postpaid connection receipt (No: kwb784640) for rs 300/- by mr das, who had also mentioned therein that rs 100/- will be adjusted from my first three month’s bill.

But when a call came from their verification department, i was shocked to learn from them that there is no such scheme of the organization to pay rs 300/- as porting charges, which would be adjusted from the subsequent 3 bills for rs 100/- each. I feel myself to be cheated. It is a severe criminal offense on the part of the company representative to intentionally or recklessly give false or misleading information to the customer and be-fooling him of rs 300/- against his trust on the organization.

I look forward to a prompt reply and a resolution to my problem, and thereby an immediate refund of my rs 300/- paid in cash along with adequate penalty.

Hi Esther,

The problem is primarily resolved as your representative who had deceitfully taken Rs 300/- from me had come down to my office to return the same.

Please see to it that in future no other consumer is cheated like me by any of your representatives.

Regards
Soumya
