I have many times had worst customer service from Airtel. But this is the worst of all.
My no is [protected]
I activated the blackberry Rs.100 weekly plan/ personal mail plan on 7th of May 2012. I deactivated the services by sending a message to UNWBIS on 11th may and instantly my services got deactivated. I received a confirmation message as well. On 14th i received a message stating that my personal mail plan for Rs.100 has been renewed and the balance got reduced by 100rs.
I called up blackberry customer service on 14th and spoke with one Mr.Rohan and registered a complaint for the same - Complaint no - CBNRA[protected]. As per Rohan, i was supposed to receive a resolution within 24 hrs. But nothing happened as promised
On 21st of May, i received another message stating my personal mail plan for Rs.100 has been renewed with effect from 21st May 2012 & the balance got reduced by another 100rs. I called up customer service & spoke to Supervisor called Gaurav a couple of times & he promised that i would be receiving the money back by 2.PM on 22nd May. The complaint no that i was given was 2302564. He said he has raised a request to cancel the auto renewal so that i dont loose some more money in the coming weeks. On 21st May, i received a message stating that the request for deactivation of Rs.100 Internet services weekly plan cannot be processed at this time, I did receive a call back from Gaurav saying that the concerned team is working on the issue
I didnt receive the money back or call back, so i called the customer support again & spoke to your supervisor called Mitun (not sure about the name). He did promise me that i would definitely get my money back by today ie 23rd of May by around 4 Pm. I did ensure with him asking him to give me a call back with the status of complaint, which eventually he did not do
I called up the customer service in the evening today & i was told by Mr. Vimal singh - Floor supervisor again -hat my issue is escalated & i will get a call back in 1 hr time with the status update. Since i did not receive any call, i called up the customer service by around 8.45 pm today. Mr Alab picked the call & since he couldnt give me a proper update, i asked for a Supervisor. (As usual) i was told that the supervisors are not available at that moment & i was promised a call back immediately. since i refused to disconnect a call (due to past experiences that i wouldnt receive any call back), i was parallely called by the outbound team Mr. Rahul singh.
Rahul singh said that my complaint has been escalated & that i will be contacted by the concerned team in 24 hours. When i asked him the series of complaint numbers that i escalated for this issue, he said that he is not near the system & that it will take half an hour for him to get me those details. When i asked him, how was he able to tell me that my complaint is escalated when he is not near the system, he said he was near Vimal when Vimal spoke to me & that he knew that Vimal has escalated this complaint.
I could hear traffic noises around & was able to very well understand that he is not near his system. But i requested him to go to his system & asked him to get me the complaint numbers which he refused to do & disconnected my call. I called back & spoke to Rohit Kumar - Floor supervisor again & he was able to give me all the complaints numbers with date & time below
Pls find the complaint numbers
cbbad[protected] - 23rd May 8.48 Pm
cbnra[protected] - 22nd May 3.52 pm
cbbad[protected] - 21st May 2 PM
Other than that i received a message today around 8 pm stating the complaint number cbnra[protected] has been resolved. I am not aware what this complaint number is for & what issue was resolved when i have not got back the money (Rs.200)
Now that i have narrated the incidents, find my complaints below
1. Complaint 1: When your system TAT is 24hrs why is that my issue still lies resolved even after 2 weeks?
2. Complaint 2.: Why is that whenever we call to escalate the issue, supervisors are not available on the floor?
3. Complaint 3: Why is that every time i have to narrate the entire history to the agent who picks the call, when everything should be available on the history on your system?
4. Complaint 4: Why is that i dont receive any call back as promised?
5. Complaint 5: With 4 complaints escalated (including the complaint number i received through sms) why is that my issue is still not resolved. Every time an agent or a Supervisor says that the complaint is escalated and that i will receive a resolution or a call back in 24hrs when such things dont happen at all. If it does not happen, why should your agent or supervisor promise? Why cant we be given an actual SLA or a TAT for an issue?
6. Complaint 6: I want to raise a complaint against Mr. Rahul Singh, who arrogantly disconnected the call when he couldnt answer my questions. He was not even in his seat, but tried to give me some courtesy statements, without even looking into the complaint. I want necessary action to be taken on such irresponsible so called "Supervisors" who are not fit enough to be in that position
7. Complaint 7: When i want to raise an escalation against Mr. Rahul, your agent refused to take a complaint. He says that there is no facility available in the system to take complaint against the team member. So dont you have an escalation mechanism at all? Dont you do a quality check on outgoing & incoming calls?
8.Complaint 8: I want a resolution for my problem. How do i go about it now? What is the next point of escalation? Every time i call, there is no TL, no Manager, no responsible person on the floor. I keep hearing the same response that my complaint has been forwarded. So is your escalation team so weak that even after 4 registered complaints there is no action taken?
9. Complaint 9: When i escalated the complaint in consumercourt.in, airtelpresence team was very quick in responding just by saying that a team is looking into the issue after which there was no response at all. Why is that every team says they are looking into the issue when there is absolutely no resolution till now? So what are these teams for? Whom should i contact next for escalating, if i dont receive a response to this mail?
I am totally fed up with the kind of service that is being provided to me. The team who ever handles this query needs to escalate it to the concerned quality/ top management to understand the pulse of customer. How will i switch over to prepaid or continue services with airtel with such poor service? Haven't you guys been taught on Customer service, handling irate customers, following up on issues etc? I am surprised at which how an entire team can be so irresponsible.
Expecting an earnest response & resolution from some one/ team who can empathize & help till the final resolution
Thanks

Complaint marked as Resolved
AirTel — deducting amount for unwanted services
I have a AirTel prepaid account.Daily I'm getting at least 4 sms from [protected].
each sms deducts Rs 10/ from my balance.
I have spoken trice to the Customar Care. and Every time they are telling that they are unsubscribing this facility. They also told that I'm calling 543212 thats why I'm getting those sms.
This is total non-sense. Why I will call this number and waste my money.
To my shock today I got non-stop 10 sms and lost Rs 100 within 2 mins.
When complain this again to the customer care he told me that it is not in AirTel control as I'm only calling this number again any again.
Why kind of liars are these people.
Every week I'm loosing Rs 300 in this non-sense this.
NO ETHICS. NO VALUES. ONLY PROFITS. THAT IS AIRTEL MOTO TO SUCCESS.
One more sms. I will throw my AirTel SIM.
Mr. Sunil Mittal God save your company.
