Hello,
I am writing this with a lot of frustration and helplessness. I had an airtel fixedline/broadband connection with airtel until May 2011, when I requested for shifting my connection and airtel failed to shift the connection in time and despite reminders they failed to do so again and again. With poor service and long list of issues with airtell and failure of shifting the connection in time, I decided to disconnect the airtel broadband connection and requested airtel to do so and send me a final settlement statement with adjustment made for my deposit which needed to be refunded. Airtel managed to disconnect the service, that too with some delay, but I never heard back on final settlement from them, though they reminded me of bill amount while shifting but nothing after all the disputes.
Until date I have spoken to airtel people several times and also written a couple of emails to movers.[protected]@airtel.in but have failed to get any response.
I am not sure what to do, but I receive some calls from random numbers asking me to settle my bill with airtel.
1. I have not received any final settlement from airtel.
2. With such a poor service from airtel, all I have asked for is that I will make payment after final dues are adjusted to one single amount, but I dont know why airtel has never reverted.
3. I am really harassed by n number of calls from airtel and irresponsive behavior from their reps.
Kindly log this as a serious complaint and take necessary steps to close the issue so that I dont feel harassed again by airtel.
Thanks,
Ankita Sanghvi
Although most of the conversations happened over phone, following is email trail with airtel -

Should I be expecting any kind of response from airtel apart from their Collections??????? Kindly let me know, I dont think I have time to follow up with airtel and keep reminding them of their responsibilities.
I would like to close this ASAP and need final confirmation on disconnection as I still keep getting survey calls and marketing calls from Airtel for the number in subject.
I will request you to send me a note in writing with all the closure and disconnection letter as despite several calls where you have ensured that the connection is not active, I dont think its really updated well in all your systems.
Would really appreciate a little worthwhile service for once.

First of all you should know who your customer is. Sorry to say, it seems completely irrelevant to you.
I know airtel has network connection where I had requested them to shift, but airtel has been extremely responsible in calling me and disturbing me 10 times on the day of shifting and despite confirming the time, not turning up for the work. Hence, after all thinking I am extremely happy to get rid of the immensely horrible service airtel has provided over the years.
Thanks for the first time really processing the disconnection request and hoping you can do this without fail.
As I can see, you have not failed to remind me of the bill details, so can you kindly also remember to credit my security deposit with airtel and close the same, for this connection. Please ensure and incorporate the same.
Thanks,
Ankita

Complaint marked as Resolved
Airtel Postpaid — no action by company on requests
I have 2 Airtel numbers :[protected] and [protected] in my firm's name SATYAM ESTATE.These were activated in september, 2008 under 'Airtel Jackpot 249' plan.After one month, I requested for deactivation of no. [protected] as it was not to be used for 3 to 4 months.After several requests through calls and e-mails, I received a call from Mr.SURINDER RANA (Mob:[protected]).But he offered me that instead of cancelling, I will have to pay only Rs99/month (for maximum 3 months) and then no. will continue in the earlier plan 'Airtel Jackpot 249' and also the charge of Rs.99/ month will be adjusted in future bills.
But, it was not done by him and I was not aware of it.After 2 months, I came to know that the bill for no.[protected] has been added to my bill for no.[protected] as both numbers were combined by the company.Then, I tried to call Mr. SURINDER RANA several times, but his phone was not reachable.Then I called the Airtel appellate officer and he told me that nothing has been mentioned about Rs.99/ month offer.So, I requested to cancel the no. through many calls and e-mails.At last, it got cancelled on 6 Jan 2009 but the bill still shows in my number [protected]. And I should not be responsible to pay that bill amount.
In addition to this, I have not received any bill till now.My due date to pay bill is 21st of each month.So, my due date (21 Jan) has already passed but still I have not received the bill.And I cannot check it through my mobile as well as website login. It still shows the previous bill.I have made several requests to send bill.And in the mean time, they keep on adding late charges to my bill.
Also, I have requested many times to separate both numbers.Now, I have received a reply in which I have been asked to clear the bill first.I am ready to pay bill only for the used number [protected].And now this no. has no network since 22 Jan morning.
So, I request you to look into the matter and make Airtel to clear the bill for [protected] and generate bill only for number [protected].
This all has happened because of their customer service.I just can't get any request done.When I call customer care, they ask me to contact HR but there is no HR because this is not a company, this is our own business and I am the proprieter.When they ask me to visit Airtel Relationship Center(ARC), they do not accept the complaint.I went to ARC named Sheeba Tel on Jail Road, C-7, Fateh Nagar on 22 Jan 2009 and met Mr.MANOJ KUMAR but he did not accept the request and asked to fax it on [protected].I tried 3 times to fax it today, but it said "The number cannot be found".Also when I call nodal or appellate officer, they ask me to send e-mail and after sending it, I get the acknowledgement to get a revert back within 24 hrs but after 3 days when I call customer care, they say we can not see any mail at all.
I should not be responsible if they do not want to receive the requests or do not want to act after receiving it on time.I am not liable to pay that extra bill.
Please look into the matter as soon as possible because my number is not working. I cannot even receive incoming calls.
Thank You very much
