[Resolved]  Airtel — Complaint against unauthorised deduction of balance from the account of Pre-paid Mobile No.[protected]

Address:South Delhi, Delhi

To
The Nodal Officer (Delhi-NCR)
Bharti Airtel Ltd.

Subject : Unauthorised Deduction of Balance by Bharti Airtel Ltd. from the account of Pre-paid Mobile No.[protected].

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this mail on account of receipt of various unsolicited calls in the above said Mobile Phone despite the same being registered with Bharti Airtel Ltd. under DND Register as can be verified from the call details as available with Bharti Airtel Ltd.

Apart from the above the Officials of Bharti Airtel Ltd. have been making unauthorized deductions through these unsolicited calls.

Today one missed call was received in this Mobile connection from the scrupulous Moblie No.[protected]. On making a reverse call in this mobile No.[protected], a deduction of Rs.15/- has been effected by Bharti Airtel Ltd.

If it is presumed that such unsolicited call has been made with no involvement of Bharti Airtel Ltd., NO SUCH DEDUCTION COULD HAVE BEEN ARRANGED BY BHARTI AIRTEL LTD. on making of any call to this Mobile No.[protected].

The fact of such deduction proves that Bharti Airtel Ltd. is hand in glove in this process of making unsolicited calls and to thereby cheat the subscribers through such mechanism. It is also highly surprising that on making a call to this Moblie No.[protected] from MTNL Phone, the system is making a declaration that no connection with such number is existing and that the said Mobile No.[protected] is not valid.

In the past also such illegal activities of Bharti Airtel Ltd. was intimated to you for necessary action with the request to ensure that such activities are not perpetrated upon me in future. However, Bharti Airtel Ltd. is not desisting from its nefarious activities.

It is therefore again requested that the matter be investigated at your level immediately and necessary orders be passed to credit back the said amount of Rs.15/- illegally deducted by Bharti Airtel Ltd., failing which appropriate legal proceedings would be initiated in the matter as the cost and peril of Bharti Airtel Ltd.

Please further ensure that such illegal activities are not perpetrated upon me in future under any circumstances.

During the process of downloading a meassage appeared that this software is not compatible to your mobile then I closed the airtell live service . To my suroprise just after a moment I received a sms to my mobile regarding deduction of charges Rs 99.00 from my prepaid account.
Then I tcontacted at 121 and 198 service of air tell but only recorded msgs received regarding different type of services and every time Phone disconnected after hearing recorded msgs . the phone could not be connected to customer care officer of airtell so that I can request for refund Of Rs 99.00 .
The web site of airtell also doesnt have any sercvice to receive such type of complaint .

Airtel prepaid mobile — UNAUTHORISED DEDUCTION OF BALANCE

TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN

THIS IS TO BRING TO YOUR KIND NOTICE THAT THERE HAS BEEN VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNSOLICITED APPROACH IN RESOLVING MY COMPLAINT NOS. CBDAL[protected] LODGED ON[protected], COMPLAINT NO CBDMO[protected] LODGED ON[protected] AND COMPLAINT NO CBDOV[protected] LODGED ON[protected].

MY NUMBER IS [protected] REGISTERED UNDER THE NAME OF SHARANGDEV SINHA.

THE DETAILS OF MY COMPLAINT ARE:

ON THE EVENING OF 20TH SEPTEMBER 2010, I GOT A MESSAGE FROM AIRTEL TO GO TO HUNGAMA CONTENT FOR GAMES AND OTHER RECREATIONAL STUFF. THIS MESSAGE HAD NO DETAILS ABOUT THE CHARGES THE SUBSCRIBER NEEDS TO PAY FOR VISITING SUCH SITE AND IT LOOKED LIKE ANOTHER PROMOTIONAL OFFER BY AIRTEL.THEREAFTER AMOUNT OF 99 RS WAS DEDUCTED WHEN I VISITED THE SITE AND TO MY DISMAY, NOTHING WAS DOWNLOADED IN MY MOBILE. ON ENQUIRING WITH THE CUSTOMER CARE EXECUTIVES REPEATEDLY, THEY WERE CLUELESS AS TO WHETHER I HAD DOWNLOADED ANY CONTENT OR A GAME BECAUSE IN MY HANDSET, I HAD RECEIVED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I WAS TOLD ON 22ND SEPTEMBER 2010 THAT SOMEBODY WOULD CALL FROM AIRTEL NOT LATER THAN 24TH SEPTEMBER 2010 TO CHECK THE CREDENTIALS OF MY UNAUTHORIZED DEDUCTION AND AS EXPECTED, NOBODY CALLED UP. SO, I HAD TO CALL 121 ON 25TH SEPTEMBER 2010 AND AFTER THE CUSTOMER CARE EXECUTIVE COULD NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE, MY CALL WAS TRANSFERRED TO ONE MR. LAXMIKANT FROM AIRTEL WHO TOO WAS HELPLESS. I WAS TOLD BY HIM TO HOLD THE LINE FOR 30 SECONDS BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM MR. LAXMIKANT FOR THE NEXT 15 MINUTES.

MAY I PLEASE REQUEST SOME PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE TO LOOK INTO THIS WHO ACTUALLY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO TAKE DECISIONS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE?

Bharti Airtel — Balance deducted from Prepaid account

Dear sir / Madam

I am a prepaid customer of Airtel Mobile, For Last five days my account is being deducted for Rs 5 on daily basis, and i am receiving the message

Quote
" Thanks for using gamesclub Subscription service from airtel. you have been charged Rs 5. Get latest games at Http://gclub.in/ea"
Unquote

for Your info i have not activated this service on my mobile.

Complaint for the same was lodged with customer care on 12 march 2011. and informed the customer care executive to stop all the services which ever are active on my number, but regret no action was taken from the service provider.
The customer care executive informed to send an Sms STOP to 121. the same was sent more than 5 times and the reply received was no services are active on your mobile

Also A sum of Rs 99 has been deducted from the account for downloading of bikinimodel_WP326 on 7 March 2011.


Again the same complaint was registered on 14 march 2011. but still no action was taken.
The Request reference Number Is CBDPA[protected].

Then on 15 March visited nearest retailer at Vasco for Help. The representative called the customer care and registered the complaint and was assured that all the services are disabled and no Balance will be deducted in future.

Again on 16 march 2011 a sum of Rs 5 is deducted from my Account for the same reason.

When visited local retailer with the problem, The concerned when called customer care for the reasons, the customer executive was rude and di not want to speak and disconnected the line.

Also these types of problems are encountered by the customers also, when we call the customer care, they keep our call on hold and never return back to attend the call, This is the manner in which the India's biggest service provider is providing its service to their customers???????????

Please look in the matter and revert.

Thanking You,

Best regards

AirTel — UNAUTHORISED DEDUCTION OF BALANCE FROM AIRTEL PREPAID

today to my surprise I see my prepaid balance (my no. [protected]) getting deducted by rs 10 without getting any mssg through sms or any other mode. This is something which is been happening for last 2 months that suddenly my balance gets deducted by some amount without knowing which service have been activated illegally. I HAVE NEVER EVER APPLIED FOR ANY AIRTEL SERVICES EIITHER BY SENDING SMS OR CALLING ANY NUMBER. By calling airtel helpline, I was told that there's crap services as below

1. GYAN

2. Dialogue Bazzi

3. India Tweets Trend

got activated which caused series of deduction each day.

I'm SHOCKED...!!!

They registered by complain (no.[protected]by Geeta) & was told that I would be getting rs.10 reimbursement for yesterday's cut but not for one's before that as its against co.'s policy...well I dont see any such policy in airtel's official website. Is this the way airtel is making money profits when all other telecom co. making losses??

Could anybody please help me on this as this is not the first instance...I've seen one of my office colleague fighting with airtel helpline for this stupid GYAN service getting activated unknowingly. WHY THE HECK WOULD ANYBODY GO FOR THAT CRAP GYAN SERVICE WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH FREE GYAN ON WEB??

HELP..!!
