[Resolved]  Idea — Cheated by not giving Added extra talktime as specified in message by Idea 121

Address:Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal

On 08.12.2014 on my Idea number [protected] at 04.34 pm and 04.38 pm I received two message from Idea 121 that on recharge of RS 14 you wil get Rs18 the offer is valid for today only. I recharge two times because I got two messages. But extra benefit is not added I only got Rs 11.06 so I called customer care according to that they received my complain with complain number 1-[protected] which should be resolved by 10.12.2014 02.00pm but extra benefit still not added. I call them again on 2.15pm but they are saying a new story that on 08.12.2014 on your number there is no such offer. Which shock me a lot because I received a message due to which I recharge for same. On 09.12.2014 5.50pm again I received same offer message but this time I do not recharge. This is not a matter of just Rs 14 but this is serious misconduct by idea. I have the message for the evidence but now they are denying to give the added amount but this may be idea technical problem but why consumer is the sufferer so I got that offer message and as received message I recharge for the same. They are also given me fake number [protected] which is there nearest idea touch point where I have to go show the message which I have received but that number is also switched off and also no idea touch point at Kharagpur, Paschim Medinipur. Kharagpur have such big city which have IIT like institution and at that not a single idea touch point or idea store is situated which is unbeliveable I am to lucky if accidently my idea sim got damaged I have to got kolkata or 40km to got and new idea sim. I want my added amount because they are cheated me by sending juicy offer and after recharging they are denying Please help to get the added amount and in future no such misconduct should be tolerate. alternate number [protected]

Sub: Again cheated by not getting benefit of mega offer recharge as instructed by customer care representative by using IVRS 121 in my idea number [protected]

Complaint Description:

I am very frustrating with the service of idea. I complain for non adding of extra benefit which is not added to main balance on 08.12.2014
with no 1-[protected]. Finally I got the benefit on 12.12.2014 on complaining the matter in social consumer forum. On 12.12.2014 at 07.17
pm I received a call from [protected] he inform me that problem is with the idea database sorry for the harassment. He also instructed me that in future It will never happen again. I asked him how I will get offer related information he advised me to call 121 and listen the Ivrs then
according to the offer you can recharge you will get the offer. He also advised me to mail [protected]@idea.adityabirla.com before complain in social forum. As per the advice I call 121 follow the instruction
1. skip Ivrs announcement about weekly completion activation : I do not press any key
2. In Ivrs announcement press 1 for talk time and special tariff offer : I press 1
3. In Ivrs announcement press 1 for special offer for me: I press 1
4. In Ivrs announcement press 3 for mega offer for me: I press 3

It clearly mentioned that mention on RS38 I will get 280 local minutes by press 3, again for confirmation repeated the process by pressing 6 as instructed in IVRS. But on 08.10 when I recharge with Rs 38 I got only 5min Idea to other and 5 min Idea to Idea. I call idea customer care but they refuses to take any complain for that after some again 198 is barred for me as previously complain 1-[protected] which is again arised. I totally helpless because this is the second time I am harassed again by not giving the recharge benefited which is mentioned by 121 as customer care is already mentioned me to get the special offer I have to call 121. I do the same but again the same problem I am cheated again. I want to use the offer given by idea but how will be I recharge if I am not getting the recharge benefit. Mr. Saurabh Srivastav sir of appellate authority please take some initiative andlook after this matter and also make a serious note on that this is a serious harassment in terms and norms of idea to giving service to consumer. Every time idea cannot blaim it as database problem. You can also listen the conversation of [protected] with me on 12.12.2014 at 07.17 pm, you will get the evidence. If the 198 is barred how can complain for the same. Please initiate the 280 local minutes in my number [protected] as promised or refund the amount. My alternate number is [protected]
