I bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge smartphone worth Rs. 55, 900/- from Samsung’s authorized sales center and took APPS DAILY INSURANCE amounting to Rs. 4, 999/- on the same date. The insurance was registered to my name by a Samsung’s sales center representative. After that, I came across a situation where the screen of my handset was cracked and I claimed insurance. I paid 5% of the price of the phone (i.e. Rs. 2795/-) as their insurance fee. Apps Daily serviced my phone and returned it on time.
A month later, my handset encountered a software issue and I gave the same for repair at Samsung’s authorized service center. They said that my handset underwent a water damage and that it cannot be covered under warranty. Upon detailed investigation, they informed me that a magnetic tape, which protected the phone from water damage, was missing while they opened the phone. I asked them for a written explanation from their part detailing this issue and I escalated the issue to their head office. As my complaint was found to be genuine, they repaired my phone free of cost. This marked my LACK OF TRUST ON APPS DAILY INSURANCE.
Now recently, I endured an accident and my phone screen had a crack again. I claimed for the insurance immediately and they asked me to submit my phone along with necessary documents. They also said that the amount to be paid to claim insurance has now increased from 5% to 6% of the price of the phone (i.e. Rs. 3354/-). As informed, I handed over the handset with the required documents & said amount. They mailed me on January 2nd, 2017 that they received my handset and is at their service center for further repair. As per their policy, they were responsible to return my phone repaired within 21 working days or refund the amount for repair. As the time specified by them for repair had finished, I called them and they asked me to wait till 03.02.2017 (Friday). But the extended time which they asked also finished and I am afraid about my handset.
I have had a lot of trouble without my handset. I provide private tuitions on music and academics and a lot many people call me for the same. I also learn by watching online sessions on music and academics. The delay in returning the handset has cost me so much money as I am not able to watch videos online. This has affected my learning process and I now find mysel[censored]ncomfortable without updating my knowledge on the same. All my contacts were synced to this handset and I now don’t have access to my contacts, which has affected me in a number of ways. I am not able to identify whom all are contacting me. I am also afraid that the delay in response from APPS DAILY INSURANCE might be due to unprofessional handling of my phone which could have led to additional damage caused from their part.
Hence, I humbly request you to consider my issue
Considering my previous experience on their improper service, and the reason stated above regarding my concern about the unprofessional handling of the handset, I demand a replacement of my defective handset with a band new Samsung galaxy s7 edge handset.
Copy of the Job sheet received from apps daily has been enclosed herewith for your reference and further action.

There is no update where as why my phone is not returned. It's been more than 1 and half a month. No one replies too my mails and calls and if they do everyone says a different story.
I want my phone and my money back. It is too much. This is theft, mental harassment.
