[Resolved]  Airtel — Airtel is Fraud & Cheating their customers

Address:Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

I am using Airtel Broadband with Landline for last 1.6 Yrs now in Mumbai, and also have 4 other Airtel Postpaid Mobile/Broadband connections in my family.

For last 2 & half months my landline was not working, for which i had called customer care department twice in Aug for complaint, but due to their system not working at that time my complaint was not taken then. I had requested the customer sup
port executive to plz update the complaint once their system is up for which they replied they will do it.

I called them again on 12th Sept 2012 asking them for the status of fixing the issue, for which their executive replied that they don't have such complaint in their system & they will take the complaint then & surprisingly i got the message with the complaint no. on 12th Sept 2012. I did a lot of follow up with their customer support team as well as with the escalation managers Jasbeer Kaur & Sushil Kumar for fixing this issue ASAP.

Now today i.e. 12th Oct 2012, my landline as well as my internet connection is fixed & their technician also came and checked, but surprisingly again a new issue arise i.e. the internet data limit as per the technician who came to check said its over & the speed is switched to 256Kbps. I really don't understand when the connection got fixed today then how come the internet data limit got over. I am using a 2MBPS line with 5 GB data limit.

All these months i have been paying the rent inspite of my connection not working. This month i did not pay the rent as i got bugged cauz the connection wuz not working for last 2 & half months now. Today when i called their customer care department & spoke to their escalation manager Mr. Sushil Kumar for waiving of the 2 & half month rent as it wuz not working, Mr Sushil replied that he can only give me waiver from 12th Sept & not before that as their is no complaint registered for the same before that inspite of me calling twice & their systems were down or slow.

This is very disappointing. I will make sure that I will post this on every social network and let others know about the airtel service. I am using Airtel connections (have 4 Connections) for last 15 years now, & this is the kind of response i get from them.

My Complaint nos. are
[protected] Connection not working
[protected] For internet usage when the connection was down

Airtel — cheating/fraud

i am a prepaid customer of airtel life time mobile no [protected]and i had misplaced my mobile n sim card on 22/11/2008.i was issued a new sim card with same number on 22/11/2008 with all proper verification and charged sim charges at pune airtel opp nehru momorial hall but in spite of calling customer care n visiting airtel office so many times the said connection is still not activated..this amounts to fraud n cheating by charging life time rent and sim charges the company is not activating the the mobile. i plan to file a police complanit and approach consumer court for compensation.
i had requested for deactivation of job alert services through airtel customer care executives 3-4 times every time i get an assurance that it would be done in 24 hours but inspite of that i am being charged and now whenever i try to contact ur customer care ex. they just disconnect the line and getting ur services deactivated through sms is not possible as ur service is hopless like ur executives my contact no. is [protected]

Issue still not resolved & nobody even contacted from your side...

I am just asking you to waive of 2 & half month rental cauz the connection was not working, but still its not resolved... How long will Airtel & its team will take to resolve this issue. I expected a better response time for your privileged customers (Using 6 Connections & the oldest one is at least 15 years old), but don't see anything happening from your side.

Awaiting a positive response from your side.
