Sub:Harassment of a consumer by the company (Bharti Airtel Ltd).
Respected Sir,
I, Syed Taqi Akbar, resident of Lucknow, had subscribed to your Broadband service on 17th November 2008.In the subscription form I had chosen the Unlimited 1499 512 Kbps plan.After that I received a confirmatory call from your side, informing me that I have chosen the 499 combo plan.Immediately, I objected to it and informed your executive that I have chosen the Unlimited 1499 512 Kbps plan.I asked the executive of the confirmatory call to rectify the mistake made by your company immediately.The executive took my complaint and gave me a complaint number.I even told the executive that either rectify your mistake and give me the plan which I had chosen or disconnect the service.I made numerous complaints everyday and the details of the complaints are as follows:
1. Reference number : 50141915 Dated 08/11/08
2. Reference number : 11979910 Dated 11/11/08
3. Reference number : 45274466 Dated 12/11/08
4. Reference number : 51842816 Dated 19/11/08
5. Reference number : 51984364 Dated 20/11/08
6. Reference number : 53395014 Dated 30/11/08
7. Reference number : 53395014 Dated 03/12/08
8. Reference number : 15239688 Dated 26/12/08


Please note that in all my complaints I had clearly mentioned that I had selected Unlimited 1499 512 Kbps plan and not 499 combo plan.I asked the executives to rectify the mistake immediately or disconnect the service.
But to my utter disbelief, I received a bill of Rs.9000 under the 499 combo plan.I will be unable to pay this bill.Also, keep in mind, that the mistake was clearly from your side.And inspite of repeated complaints the company did’nt rectify the mistake.
I would like to mention some important facts which highlight the negligence of your company “Bharti Airtel Limited” and also exposes the pathetic treatment you give to your customers.
 I had selected the Unlimited 1499 512 Kbps plan in the presence of your Sales Officer, Mr.Anand Kumar Shukla.(Cell no-[protected]).
 When I received the confirmatory call informing me of the 499 combo plan, I immediately asked them to rectify the mistake.What is the use of the confirmatory call if your company imposes the plan of your choice on the consumer?
 When your hardware engineer, Mr.Fahad (Cell no-[protected]) came for installation, he showed me the form in which the plan selected was ‘Unlimited 1499 512 Kbps’. Then how can your company change the plan to 499 combo plan? Is it to harass the consumer?
 As mentioned earlier, I made numerous complaints but what was the effect?Instead of rectifying the mistake, your company imposed a bill of Rs.9000 under the plan that I had not selected.This is a case of clear harassment of the consumer by your company.
Please note that I have been subjected to intense harassment and have decided to approach the Consumer Forum if the matter is not resolved by your company within 48 hours.

Hi,

But on last Friday 19th Dec’08 around 22:30 on same day my Bal is around 60/- I have act “MO” by *567# and it’s activate. I have received Sms for the same & my 15/- will be debited from my Prepaid A/C. But while connect with my Laptop it shows Error “Packet Data Not Available”. Then I made call to 121 around 22:45 & the agent guide me manual settings for my phone & it’s done Thanks. Also I need setting for my Laptop, and then he was told me for this u need to call 12140. I made call to 12140 around 23:10 but I m not get connected with the same, and the IVR says Write AIRTEL & send it to 121. After this again I made call to 121 to know about what is this going on why I am not get connected with 12140 but also I am not get connected to 121 also & same the IVR says Write AIRTEL & send it to 121.

Around 23:30 I made 121 from my postpaid connection for Laptop settings & the postpaid agent inform me that you need to made call on 12140 from prepaid card only then & then only you get proper information about the same. Can you transfer my call to Prepaid dept. Agent says No.

So, that is not possible for my prepaid because when I made 121 or 12140 the same thing I heard Write AIRTEL & send it to 121.

On 20th Dec’08. I visit Bharti house Ashram Road, Ahmedabad. Around 18:05 At Bharti house when I entered the last token no was displayed on board was 203 & my token no is 211 waiting more then 45 min. then I meet Mr.Sandeep I ask him about my 121 services why I am unable to call 121 or 12140 Customer care? What Mr.Sandeep replies me that you have dialed more then 30 times to 121? And that is reason your 121 services are bard. Is it so!! If I dial more then 30 times to 121 then my CC services are bard??
Mr.Sandeep: Yes,
Then please let me know how many times & when I made call to CC!!
Mr.Sandeep: how many time you have dial 121 that detail will be not update in our system.
Is it so!! I know I haven’t made more then 7 times, Also need to know when I bought the Airtel Prepaid card there is on CAF need to fill up by Customer that also I have filled up in that CAF. I want to know have you mention in CAF if I made more then 30 times to 121 then my 121 services are bard??
Mr.Sandeep: No.
Then why my services are bard?
Mr.Sandeep:-----(Totally Blank)------ No Answer.
Ok now tell me how can get my Laptop setting without making call to 121 or 12140 because my CC services are bard??
Mr.Sandeep: I don’t know that you have to do by other prepaid card.
Now just tell me how to deactivate MO?
Mr.Sandeep: Call up 121 or 12140 they will assist you.
I ask him then what you are setting hear & what you doing hear???
Mr.Sandeep:[protected]Totally Blank[protected]No Answer.
I walk away form there because it all waste of time and no use to setting in front of this kind of Airtel Officer.
I am surprise about No Good Evening, No Thank You & No Good buy……..

After a week on 27th Dec’08 when I Check my prepaid balance it shows 0.00/- how?? & also I am not able to make call on 121 or 12140.

So kindly explain me some quarry which I have.

• How many times I made call on 121 or 12140 from I bought the new prepaid???
• Is there any line in CAF if customer calls up to customer care more then 30 times the services are bard??
• If yes then show that line where is it & on which page??
• If no then why my customer care 121 or 12140 services are bard??
• As Postpaid CC informed on 19th Dec’08. you need to make call from only & only Prepaid card then you get settings for your Laptop, just tell me at night 23:30 where I have to go & what he is going to tell does he think twice before he speck!!!

Treat this as priority...

Hello,

I wanted to have a boradband connection for personl use at Malviya Nagar. On airtel website one plan is mentioned of 649/- . It includes 100 calls free per month. Spped is 256. When I asked airtel executive he said this plan is not for south delhi. They have similar plan which is 799/-. Speed is same (256 kbps) but free calls is not available per month. So I need to pay 150/- extra and also no free calls per month. Is it leagel where company has general plan but do not give in specific location within a circle. I asked this to their call center but he says server does not support this plan in south delhi. Then I asked their manager he says this is company policy and website has wrong information. I asked why they do not remove wrong information from website. he says this will be removed but will take time. About time limit they do not know.

Please help me in getting 649 plan in Malviya nagar.

Thanks
Sanjeev Kumar
