Airtel — bill generation even after 2 months of disconnection request

Hello, we have a 12 year old airtel broadband and fixed line conneection _[protected].in october 2019, after suffering with horrible fluctuations in speed for a year, we finally decided to request for the disconnection of services. We called the customer care and got our request registered and at the same time, they tried to persuade us by giving waiver in our bill. We finally asked them to disconnect it again in october after which we were again asked to transfer the connection in someone else's name, etc to which we replied in negative. Their customer care representative took our request and asked us to wait for a month citing the reason that we are 12 year old loyal customer so they will not charge us anything and after one month engineer will visit and take back their device. One month passed and to my surprise i get an email asking me to pay the bill for the month of oct to decemeber immediately. Now when i called their customer care number, the call was taken by ms monika, and she tells me that my request was not registered, hence the bill is generated! The peculiar thing is that every one of them starts anew like we have spare time to tell the same story ten times. Again she started enquiring about the reason for disconnection, etc. When i told her about the conversation between me and customer care, she tells me that it was my job to tell the customer care again that i didn't wish to continue the connection. I said how many times do i need to say one simple thing? Means after telling them thrice it was still not clear to them that the customer is not willing to continue the connection.!! This is how they treat their loyal customers - forcing them to continue their horrible connection (At least in our area) and then charging them unethically. Kindly get my complaint resolved.

Airtel is continuously harassing us by not discontinuing our connection and generating bill at their own will ! After I posted this complaint, I have received 4 calls from Airtel customer care on 4 different days & again the same question- why do u want to disconnect ur connection, do u want to transfer to someone else, blah blah?? They have attained a new peak of irritating their customer by their cheap ways of forcibly trying to persuade even when a customer has clearly said no! I don't think I ll suggest anyone to go with such a company who appoints its BPO employees just to irritate you when you r moving out rather than letting them go on a good note.

Kindly ask them to spare us and disconnect the services since they don't understand when it's conveyed to their customer care in simple English or Hindi.

Thanks

Customer care person told me that I have used 46 GB data in the month of December cycle..while I already unplugged their modem the day I switched over to another company in November..how they lie is so ridiculous coz their own airtel app shows that data usage is ZERO for this month.
Attaching screenshot for the reference and the bill generated after disconnection request is also attached.. they should work upon their business ethics seriously.
