          complaint for delay in dth installation

          Address: Pune, Maharashtra

          customer id: [protected] i purchased airtel dth connection online today after confirming with airtel sales dept. that my area is serviceable. However after few hours of purchase i got a call that my dth can not be installed at my location. Whereas there is already a airtel dth connection at my home on my landlords name. when i called up customer care they just hung up the phone. Why are you misleading people...if you can not provide service...

                  Hi Team, I am a airtel user too, on 14/12/2014 the entire balance was deducted from my account, and when i called to customer care they said it has deducted because of the internet uses when i had internet pack also then they only refunded only Rs 101 instead of 110 and they said the rest amount will be credited shortly. But it did not come, i have called them twice again as because they have given a promise to refund the entire balance they said it cannot be refunded. Its not the matter of only Rs 9 or 10 its only how they are cheating to customers. Hence request you to can this be investigated please. Regard, Samir Mob no- [protected]

                          Address: New Delhi, Delhi

                          I am in the Ministry of Defence and have been posted to delhi recently. I had applied for a airtel postpaid number in Delhi from its Satya Niketan outlet on 11 Dec 2014. I get a call on 12 dec from airtel that address verification would be carried out on 12 or 13 dec. No verification was carried out till now (15 dec2014) by anyone from airtel. On contacting the satya niketan, new delhi airtel outlet on 15 dec 2014 i was told that they (airtel office) have punched a wrong address in their system!! And now I will have to resubmit another set of ID documents!!! On my saying that since the mistake has been from airtel side they only should rectify it and why should I be submitting another set of ID n address proof, they said it is company policy!!! Is it company policy to pass on the mistakes and errors of the company to the consumers??? Also, when i tried calling the Airtel consumer care numbers they are either not responding or do not have any option of registering a complaint., and neither is there any option given to speak to their consumer support representative. It is a MOST PATHETIC service I have ever come across!!!

                              Hi Team, I had conversation with your customer representative from my mobile [protected] to get recharge details. As per communication they asked to recharge of 99 to get full talk time of 99 rs. but i got only 1INR and rest has been adjusted in some other services. Would request kindly have a look into matter as this is not first instance where i am struggling with airtel services. would be really appreciated if you can revert amount

                                  Due to un availablity of online recharge servers on[protected] can't able to rechage the 45/- 7 days 3G offer. As airtel system are upgrading on[protected], we can't able to recharge through online because of that upgradation we lost 370 MB 3G data. Case like:- If the person is travelling log distance in train. he can manage recharge through online. airtel customer care suggesting even though it's last day to recharge & airtel severs is not working you have to recharge in shops(Easy Recharge) to carry forward your 3G balance Very Poor Customer Care Service!!! Even Though they are not giving proper information to resolve the issue, simply ignoring the request. just giving info i.e can't able to resolve the issue. If they can't able to resolve then why they are maintaining the customer care!!! Waste of time & Money Regards, Vasudev vasu.[protected]@gmail.com

                                      I had made an online payment for a new DTH connection with Airtel on 08 Dec2014 after being assured by the call center executive that the connection will be activated within 4 hrs. Even after a lapse of a week the connection has not been established and no one from the company ever bothered to give a status update. Whenever i call up their customer care requesting for cancellation of my application and a refund of my money, their only reply is to make me hold on for another day before which it will be "Resolved On Priority". However, nothing has been done yet. It is very frustrating and i dont see any solution to my problem.
