Dear Sir/ Madam,
I availed an Airtel 4G LTE connection no. [protected] that I used till July, 2016.
I stopped using the service since 1st August, 2016 and I tried to reach Airtel customer care number several times to communicate that I want to discontinue the service, but I could never reach a representative. It was shocking to see bills being raised by Airtel even when I was not using the service at all. In September, 2016, some Airtel representative called me to tell that the bill amount is due for August, 2016. I explained him the matter and requested him to do the needful to disconnect the service with immediate effect. He assured that he took my request and the service will be discontinued. However, I kept getting calls for bill payment from different Airtel representative for next couple of months. I kept telling all of them to discontinue the service and they agreed to do the needful, but all in vain. The bills kept getting generated every month till October, 2016. At last on 17th October, 2016, one of the representatives kept me on hold over phone for half an hour and did the needful to take my request to disconnect the service and she shared a reference no[protected] for the same. No clue why the same was not done by the other representatives for previous 2 months or so, even when I was continuously requesting to disconnect.
I was under the impression that no bill will get generated further once the service is now disconnected. However, to my surprise, bill got generated again in November, 2016!!! On top of that, Airtel representatives again started calling for bill payment. This time around they confirmed that the service is discontinued but they told that the bill will keep getting generated. This is absolutely absurd to say the least.
I have always been a loyal customer of Airtel and at times, I paid additional amount in advance as well. For example, even for the month of July, 2016 (the last month o[censored]sage of the service), I paid Rs. 1000/- against the bill amount of Rs. 847.50/-. This is the reason, the bill Airtel raised in August, 2016 was of amount Rs. 595/- (instead of Rs. 847.50/-). However, this bill was raised against no consumption, as I stopped using the service since 1st August, 2016 itself. Airtel kept generating the bills every month and the cumulative due amount is Rs. 2603.46/- as per the bill generated in November, 2016.
All these bills got generated against no usage/ consumption of service. I believe you would appreciate that Airtel has no justifiable reason to raise these bills and there is no question of paying bills when I have not availed the service.
Request your immediate intervention to resolve the matter.
Thanks and regards,
Premangshu Bhowmick
