Airtel — Disconnected a long time ago, but the company demands money even after 6 months | |||
Hi..I am Subhendu from Kolkata....I took broadband services from Airtel along with a fixed line service on June 2011. After 4 months i sent a mail to them on 13th Oct 2011 requesting for discontinuation of the service. I received their acknowledgement mail on the same day and one reply mail on 15th Oct 2011 saying "As per the telephonic conversation on your mobile number 983****5** ,we would like to inform you that your request for cancellation is registered under the reference number 5***5** and same will be addressed by 7days". I have even cleared the dues in Oct, 2011. After that I exchanged the service with BSNL. NO AIRTEL LINE WAS ANYMORE EXISTING IN MY HOME. I didn't had airtel broadband as well as airtel fixed line since then. But I kept getting their monthly bill along with regular phone calls from them demanding the money. When I mentioned about my discontinuation of the services they said "okay, it may not have been updated in our system". Now suddenly they are calling me again and demanding money saying I have dues about Rs. 2000. When I informed them about their reply mail of Oct, 2011 along with reference number of my cancellation of the service, they said that I must have some "Docket Number" but later agreed to give me 19% of rebate on the due amount. But why should I give any money to them as I had received their mail with reference number of my cancellation i.e. my services were discontinued from Oct 2011 ? And how would I know that I need to get "Docket Number" from them as a proof of cancellation ? They are threatening me now saying that they would go by legal procedures and I agreed on that. Rupees 2000 is not much and I could have given that to them to avoid further hazards but I decided not to give that money to them as after discontinuation how can they demand any money? God knows if many others are suffering just like me. Was this information helpful? | |||

Airtel — Mobile Phone disconnected even having money in the account!
We requested to change the plan from post paid to pre paid. the phone has been moved out of post paid and still not been activated in pre paid. There are more than Rs. 500/- in the account and no one is willing to do any thing.It is more than 3 weeks now! We have been to Reach Communication office in Anna Nagar many times. We have also visited Airtel Santhom Corporate office more than 3 times and no one is willing to do any thing.
The best part is we are a corporate customer having our combined landlines and mobile bills of more than Rs. 50000/- Per month. We do not even have a relationship manager!
If Corporate customers are treated this way GOD HELP OTHERS!

Airtel Mobile — Disconnecting the Phone
Airtel person had visited our society for selling some privaledged SIM cards on promotion.I bought the product. For which i submited my passport copy as address proof and ID proof.gave him a chequeue.
Next day I got the SIM and in couple of days connection was activated.
Received welcome call from AIRTEL and every thing was working fine.
Suddenly after a month on Saturday Night somewhere around 10pm I saw that my mobile was displaying the Fail to register the SIM. I thought there must be signal issue (which is quite common with AIRTEL) but since the status was the same the next morning I called up AIRTEL Customer Support. They told me that there is some decleriation which had not reached them.
I tried to call up the person who had visited our house for the connection .He replied me that he has left the organization and thus cannot help.But he gave me some no to call I called that gentelman and he told me that nothing can be done today as its SUNDAY.
Next day I went to AIRTEL Office and enquired about my number they told me that my documents are invalidated.
So now i'm confused. I have submitted the document that is passport which is a legal document and more over I have signed it " so this document can be missused by any one"
I have requested the AIRTEL to send me SMS that documents are safe with them and please resubmit the document.The response i got was some 4 letter word.
As per TRAI guideline and intemation should be send to user before disconnecting the connection nothing of this sort has happened.
No body have contacted me after this.
Please help me on this atleast to disconnect the connection.
Regards
