Address: 560064

It's been more than 4 months since the set top box has been taken away and we were promised a refund of ₹1782 on my credit card which was used to purchase the connection.

Last month airtel claimed via mail that amount was credited to my ccard on 31/5/[protected]@1847, which i denied.

They asked me to mail them all statements till date to verify that amount not credited.
In spite of doing so there is no reply from them. (Ref pics)

I have made several calls to customer care to seek a reply and closure but no use.
Latest open complaints in this regard are 64863035 raised by shubham and 64507119 raised by rubini.

I am completely helpless in dealing with this and hence have decided to take below steps till issue is closed and i receive my refund.

"my airtel broadband outstanding amount for this month is ₹3066. I have decided to paid them only ₹1284 as on date post deducting ₹1782 towards my digital tv refund. As customers are being held to ransom, i found this one way to get back to airtel as let them sort it out amongst their departments."

Complaint marked as Resolved 
Yesterday after 8 months of surrendering the TV connection I got my refund of ₹1782 in my ccard. I will now pay the Airtel broad band payments that I have been holding back due to this as my complaint is resolved. Thank you all!!!

Airtel DTH team yet to respond and close the issue!!!

Money yet to be credited to me.

Now Airtel broadband says they have no role to play in this and if I don’t pay up ₹1782 that I am holding back from their billed amount, they will disconnect my connection.

I am getting FINAL REMINDER mail from then every now and then.

So a company can hold an individuals payment and keep mum on the same but a common citizen will be threatened and not entertained if he decides to hold back his legal amount from its sister concern!!!

Requesting consumer complaint forum to step in and get it sorted ASAP.

Thnx

    I'm using airtel from more than 2 years and now after upgrading to 4g i. E., lte i frequently facing the network issue in my internet calls and others. I'm being forced to use other carrier if you guys cannot provide me a good service then i'm bound to switch to other. Please do smth asap. It hurts my business work and irritated too. Even now also i'm having the same issue which won't allowing me to write any complaint or work. And when i called you guys to contact you and elaborate my problem your ivr taking more than 5 mins to get reach to you which also remained incomplete and here i'm now. If i would write such complaint to you inspite of my other work who else going to run my life damn it. I'm totally pissed off either make it correct soon or make it clear. And yeah charge some extra money in calling 198 so that the necessary calls you find and make easy to contact you directly we don't wanna waste or listen any offer there.

          On 24 aug i did a transaction of rs 349 for recharge of my airtel prepaid no [protected]. Using airtel app. Transaction was complete wit transaction id as - auth066438. For bharti airtel.
          But now airtel is refusing of such transaction. Becuse of this i my prepaid balance was also lost and above all i approached thrice to airtel outlet and even sppke to the customer care executive. I only realised that your company is using such fraud app to fool people around and earn. Hence ur requested to check and do the needful. Else i will be forced to file under consumers protection.

              Airtel took 1000 for new broadband connection and did not provide connection telling that connection is not available in my area. After multiple followups i provided required documents to refund the amount to my bank account.
              It is more than 6 months completed since i requested for refund and no refund happened yet.

              Below is my connection details:
              Caf no.: rtblr7332316
              Transaction id:[protected]

              I have raised online ticket to airtel for refund with ticket id: aorbad45d.

              Below is the latest update i got from airtel team
              (I have registered your request for refund of rs. 1000/- and the reference number is 86466932. Let me assure you that the issue would be resolved within 6 days.)

              Please take necessary actions on airtel for this behaviour.

                          I have made my all the payments however I my services have yet not been resumed.

                          I am being given lame excuses for this but no solution.

                          Please help me.

                            I bought an airtel postpaid sim card[protected]u). I cancelled the order because your customer executive rahat khan ([protected]) provided me no information about the plan. I cleared them on the verification call that i don't want to use this sim, please don't activate it and provide me the refund and the documents i provided to the customer executive rahat khan. So, he texted me a contact number vishaĺ ([protected]) saying this guy will refund the amount and the documents you gave.. From last 2 weeks this guy is ignoring my every call by saying that it is not our job to provide you the refund as it is our companies job.. I am calling him every second day.. He is rude, non co - operative and ignorant.. I am fed up with this attitude of your company.. Now the executive rahat khan, who provided me the sim is also not responding.. I called him 6-7 times.. Tell me how can i get back my money and documents..

                            I have been using Airtel since 7 years and haven't faced major issues. But since past 6-8 months I am facing call drops while city drives, poor network, suprise internet usage alerts etc in Bangalore.

                            Which is better provider in Bangalore. I want to switch.

                            Thanks

                                After few days my phone gets damaged.. I was standing outside my house suddenly a dog standing near me started barking on me.. I started running on road so my phone dropped from my pocket.. But airtel rejected my claim saying that it's a negligence by your side.. Please don't waste your money.. They are fooling people by giving huge ads on tv..

                                  My airtel no is : 0-[protected].. I had recharged rs.399 on july 27th for offer of 84 days unlimited free calls and daily 1 gb 4g data. But from 12th night 10 pm i'm not getting data connectivity to my mobile till today, i had called airtel customer care/nodal officer about 10-16 times regarding this issues but the technical team was not able to rectify my data connectivity problem, even they asked me to replace the sim with a new one and i followed it, still the data is not connecting in my 4g set. Even through mail i had lodged a complaint but airtel has failed to rectify this issue. Kindly help me to get my rs.399 from airtel since they are not able to provide me the service for which i paid.

                                    I have taken this broadband connection as i travel extensively and wanted to keep a watch at home... I was very happy with my tata dongle, unfortunately that was not supporting my cameras and on great reviews got airtel broadband installed as my cousins in the same building were very happy. Unfortunately since the time i got it installed it never worked as claimed... Complaints were made as and when i am back in city, they were prompt and usually engineer visits within an hour, unfortunately was not able to resolve it for more than a couple of hours which can be tracked from the system till now i guess after approx. More than 10 complains, 2 theft (Fir copy can be provided for one) and 3 - 4 burned modems engineer was able to find the fault in the underground wiring which has been there from earlier. I have been making all my payments all this while, once this was shared i claimed for my previous bills to be waived off as no services were provided and refused the close the complaint. Further to this my connection has been now disconnected and the supervisor at the customer care centre turns around and says he cannot help much on it. After this sad experience and wrongly claimed best connectivity i want a refund in full.

                                      (This is for your reference. Still now they didn't cancel.. Below its the letter i send complaint through email.)

                                      Hello sir,

                                      I have a problem in cancelation.
                                      Last february i bought airtel 4g hotspot ([protected]) from our nearest showroom (Urapakkam).
                                      On that time, hotspot plan is on 3 month 8gb plan. I received the call from the showroom member, they told me that you have an offer sir. I asked her plan is on same number but they said offer is on new number. Then i ask her what about the old number she said after activation of new number, tell me the old number after you pay, we will cancel that. So i paid and send the old number to them.

                                      After i send the old number, i call and inform them, that paid and send the number to their phone number (July 4). After 3 week. Bill generated in old number ([protected]). I paid the bill for the new number ([protected]). I informed this to your showroom. But they said to call me tomorrow, come later... I visit and call them, but they are not reply properly.

                                      After inform to cancel i throw that old sim away. Now i got the call from customer care, you have mislead new plan can activate only within old sim. They said i will cancel the new number and use your old number.

                                      Now i throw that away, i can't find it? What about the payment..?

                                      Airtel really worst in custumer support...

                                      Now i have the pending payment of old number rs 1000 something is generated. With rs 500 something in new number..

                                      Solve this issue soon as possible otherwise i will reject airtel operator.
