[Resolved]  Airtel — Deactivation of No.[protected]

AIRTEL Customer Cheating Center?

In September one of Airtel franchisees, may be, contacted me to migrate my number [protected] to postpaid saying many benefits on that. They collected documents for that. Then without any information my phone was deactivated. When I contacted they told they will bring new SIM. After three days they gave me the new SIM and activated. At that time my prepaid balance was around 380/-. They told that amount will be adjusted in my postpaid account.

After few days I got sms saying my mobile will be barred outgoing calls, reason is documents. Again they collected documents and reactivated. Then I requested on17th October for migration to prepaid due to all problems I had. That time there was balance about 180/- and I am informed that I will get a cheque for the amount within 45 days. My number was migrated to prepaid and again I made it as life time validity by payment of Rs.53/-.

Again without any information and reason my life time validity mobile deactivated on 11th November. I contacted Airtel Customer Care centers and 121 from another phone. Unfortunately did not get proper response. Sometimes executives became angry also on phone. Now the phone I used to call 121 is rejecting access.

14th I went to Airtel CC Center near ECIL, the executive told me that my mobile will activate by Sunday evening or on Monday. Unfortunately nothing happened.
15th November Airtel sent an email asking me to remit Rs. 412.40 as a balance to reactivate my number.
16th I remitted the amount at RTC X Rd Airtel Center. But not activated saying they did not receive the amount.
20th I received a bill for the same amount Rs.412/-. And their email says to remit billed and unbilled amount to any of their center with documents for reactivation.
26th I went to RTC X Rd center and they gave me another bill for the same amount and told phone will be reactivated by 3 PM.
28th again I visited ECIL center, and they told by before 8.PM phone will be recharged. Since they have my documents they didn’t ask documents.
30th I received an email saying, revert my new SIM number. Not received the amount Rs.412/- paid by credit card.

I want my phone to be reactivated with life time validity.
In this regard I spent lot money to make phone calls to Airtel, sending many emails and travel to visit Airtel centers many times from September last week onwards.
Who will compensate lose of time, money, inconveniences and mental tension?

Airtel Mobile — Service de-activation

Hi,
This is Prem Kumar. I have Airtel connection from pas 3 years. 10 days back, I migrated from post paid to prepaid. I had submitted Voter Id and Indian Bank pass book as Id and Address proof at Aundh Relationship Centre, Pune, which are the documents required as per KYC guidelines.
However, on 13th August, I got message that I need to re-submit the document. On enquiring, there was no proper response as to why the document was rejected. Feeling disgusted about the response, I decided to re-submit the document since I have already posted the number on my resume. I again submitted the same documents at Baner Exclusive Outlet by afternoon on 14th August 2009.
However, service to my number was discontinued on 18th August without any intimation from Airtel. On contacting 121 through my other Airtel connection on 18th August 2009, I was assured by the service manager that the documents are received by Airtel. Verfication will be completed and my number will be activated within 24 hours. Reference no for the same is [protected].
Today, I visited Bavdhan/Pashan Relationship Centre for confirmation. However, on contacting Customer Care from Hotline no, I was shocked to hear that I need to re-submit the document again since Airtel has never received the document. I spoke to one of the supervisor who arrogantly replied that if my number has to be activated, I need t o re-submit the document. He was not in a position to listen to my conversation. He also told me that 121 customer care is different from hot line nos.
Above all these, no one from the customer care was ready to take complaint from my side. I got a reply that for documentation, complaint cannot be registered.
My question is:
1) When the document is submitted when purchasing a SIM, why was the same not verified by the executive at the relationship centre?
If the documentation was checked, there would not have been problem of repeated harassment to the customers.
2) When a document is returned for various reasons, customer has all the rights to know why document was rejected. However, no one responded properly. Everyone kept on telling that neither the reason is updated in the system nor the document can be returned to the customer.
As a customer, I have all the rights to get back the rejected document if I need to re-submit the documents again. In this case, the reason was not known and the document also was not returned. What if my documents are misused for illegal activities?
3) I had re-submitted the document on 14th August and the same got rejected again and the reason is still unknown. Shoul d I continue to re-submit different documents again and again until Airtel is satisfied.
If, in the first instance, the reason for rejection would have been known to me, I would have submitted the required document. As a Bank employee, I know the documents required as per KYC norms and I have submitted the same documents to Airtel. However, till this time, the rejection reason is unknown.
Service to the number is discontinued without the fault of the customer. Why should I, as a customer, is harassed? Dont you think that Customer care executive should be penalised since the documentation was not checked before forwarding.
I want a proper response from Airtel. I am going ahead with filing a case in Consumer court for all the mental harassment caused by the executives at Airtel.
Thanks & Regards,
Prem Kumar
