[Resolved]  Airtel — customer service is lying

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka, 560001
Website:www.airtel.in/HD_Digital/TV‎

Airtel dth account number [protected].

Yesterday, i logged into airtel website to pay my dth charges. Account showed my monthly package is 677. I therefore paidpaid my monthly charges online via airtel website. Immediately my dth got activated.

Today morning again, it is stating my account has insufficient balance. I spoke to 3 customer service representative; got 3 different versions and all 3 calls were hanged by the customer care representatives.

Customer service rep 1 - told me airtel backend team has activated a quarterly subscription from the backend — i asked him how can you do it without customer's consent. He said he cannot do anything as it has been done by the backend team.

Customer service rep 2 - tried explaining the package but, when i insisted on sticking to the existing package and want my services resumed right away. He asked me to hold the line and disconnected the line after 19 minutes

Customer service rep 3 - asked him to connect the line to supervisor. Supervisor disconnected the lie stating she cannot hear the customer voice

I want my services resumed now. Who will compensate me for the issues i have faced becuase somebody at airtel chose to change my package without my permission.

These companies get away with these kinds of issues either giving false information or giving reasons like facing technical challenges. Eventually, it's the consumer who faces the burnt. I want you to penalize airtel for changing customer information without customer's consent, lying and trying to mislead customer by giving technical jargons.

Best regards,

=======================

I therefore paid my monthly charges online via Airtel website. Immediately my DTH got activated.

Today morning again, it is stating my account has insufficient balance. I spoke to 3 customer service representative; got 3 different versions and all 3 calls were hanged by the customer care representatives.

Customer service rep 1 - told me Airtel backend team has activated a quarterly subscription from the backend --- I asked him how can you do it without customer's consent. He said he cannot do anything as it has been done by the backend team.

Customer service rep 2 - tried explaining the package but, when I insisted on sticking to the existing package and want my services resumed right away. He asked me to hold the line and disconnected the line after 19 minutes

Customer service rep 3 - asked him to connect the line to supervisor. Supervisor disconnected the lie stating she cannot hear the customer voice

Customer service rep 4 - Took 30 minutes for the call. Kept telling me that his senior my plan to the previous one (monthly) and transfer the funds back to my account. Then he stated that his senior was busy. He will get it done in next 30 minutes

Customer service rep 5 - He stated that he can change the package back to monthly but cannot refund the funds to my account.

I WANT my monthly package and my services resumed NOW. It should reflect the amount I paid for.

Moreover, who will compensate me for the issues I have faced becuase somebody at Airtel chose to change my package without my permission.

These companies get away with these kinds of issues either giving false information or giving reasons like facing technical challenges. Eventually, it's the consumer who faces the burnt. I want you to penalize Airtel for changing customer information without customer's consent, lying and trying to mislead customer by giving technical jargons.
