Eureka Forbes Complaints & Reviews

I had taken Annual Maintenance Contract for service for Aquaguard Classic for 2 years from 08.09.2006 and paid an amount of Rs.1590/- vide cheque No.098866 dated 08.09.2006 The service contract was valid from 08.09.2006 to 07.09.2008 vide Contract Receipt No. 11307207. At that time I was stationed at Hyderabad at Flat No. 505, Pallavi Vihar Apartments, Ameerpet, Hyderabad. The company could service the model twice during 2006-07. Subsequently, despite my several reminders, the servicing was not done. In the meanwhile I was transferred to Bangalore during May 2008 and I shifted my residence to Bangalore and took up my residence at Flat No. S-3, No. 6, NHCS Layout, 13th Main, Saraswathinagar, Bangalore 560040. The fact of this was communicated to them and I also requested them to install the machine at the new address, which they failed. Despite my several reminders, and speaking to their customer service executives at their helpline and also to the Manager of their Service Centre, Sri Murari Bhat, my problems were not resolved and I was offered to service only the unit but not replacement of candles and the carbon, which was integral part of the service and was to be done once in six months. My several calls to the Head of their Bangalore Division Mr. Ravishankar was unresponded and his mobile was being disconnected every time a call was placed to him.

This is UTTER DEFICIENCY OF SERVICE ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY AND I REQUEST YOU TO REDRESS MY GRIEVANCE AND DIRECT THE COMPANY TO EXTEND ME ONE YEAR SERVICE CONTRACT FREE OF COST. I ALSO REQUEST YOU TO ADVISE THE COMPANY TO PAY ME DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT OF RS.10000/- FOR HAVING CAUSED ME MENTAL AGONY AND STRESS FOR ALL THE PAINS TAKEN BY ME FOR GETTING THE DULY ELIGIBLE AND OBLIGATORY SERVICE ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY.

BUT TODAY I THINK THEY WERE CORRECT !

Re: Complain on Eureka Forbes Ltd machinery (Aqua Guard) and fraud from Sales personnel.

Dear Sir,

Once a guy came to our colony (Royal Bungalows) and distributed a Business Card that I am attaching with this complain. On 07/10/2008 I called the guy for an Aqua Guard of Eureka Forbes Ltd. He came to my place along with other guy (told us that he is the Leader of the 1 st guy) and shown a prospectus of different models (Eureka Forbes Ltd).
He convinced with the Aqua Guard RO model amounting Rs-14500/-. On that very day they delivered the product with fitting the total tools into my kitchen.
For that service they took 5400/- cash and 9100/- self cheque No 470550 drawn on ICICI Bank and provided a receipt No 019429 from Eureka Forbes Ltd in the name of my wife “Ashima Mukherjee”.
Also told that the Warranty card and servicing card would be coming to my address within a month.
I talked with that guy vide Cell No[protected] and [protected] as mentioned in the Business Card several times for servicing of the Aqua Guard as well as non receipt of any Warranty card and servicing card from Eureka Forbes Ltd.
After getting fed up I went to the office as mentioned in the Business Card “Sapphire Heights, A.B.Road, Indore” on 24 th Jan 2009 and complained regarding non receipt of Warranty card and servicing card also no servicing from Eureka Forbes Ltd.

The attendant put the complain no 279 (24/01/2009) and sent a technician for servicing of Aqua Guard on that very day.

The technician visited my place and told that the Aqua Guard- machinery was not the original from Eureka Forbes Ltd. Also he called at[protected] and wanted to know about the product.

After that I again talked at phone no 2578142/2578150 and described every thing happened to me. I got phone to 3268849 for Eureka Forbes Ltd, Sapna Sangeta Road and talked with you.

Now I am attaching the Business Card along with the Receipt from Eureka Forbes Ltd for your necessary steps so that I could get back my expense Rs-14500/- or the original Aqua Guard RO model machinery from Eureka Forbes Ltd.

This is a serious complaint from me. It is creating a lot agony into my mind.

I request you to understand my agony and redress the complaint within a few days.

Thanks & Regards,


Chandra Sekhar Mukherjee Dated: 28/01/2009

The water filter model senza doesn't work at all. The outflow of water from RO is of same quality as input water.
On complaint, the service engineer tells - it works like that only. On repated complaint other engineer comes and say he doesn't know how this model works.

I would recommend not to by water purifiers from Eureka forbes as they don't have quality products and trained service engineer to install and support them.

I am persuing for service of my vaccum cleaner since past 1 month & till now I am sitting on the same track, without any revertals.

Subject: Re: Urgent : Complaint on Installation
To: pratima.[protected]@eurekaforbes.co.in,...

i have brought the eureka forbes water purifier . when the executive visited for demo, after explaination of teh product he did not say about maintenence. ex. replacement of filter cartridge every year. it is costing 3660 rs. now i have no other option other than replacing it every year. when asked upon the discount on mrp they r not ready to give any discount. even the service which they r offering is also very very poor.

This is the second year o[censored]sing this product. When it was installed last year, they fixed a very long pipe. We have been asking them to cut short it so tht we can change it when it gathers moss. Inspite of repeated requests, the pipe wasnt cut or changed. Today they come for servicing and chnage the pipe and ask for money. Is this some cheap way of collecting money waiting for the thing to get spoilt. I was amazed at the way they were quick in changing pipe today after two years!!!. I hope tht the organisation like eureka forbes has some responsibility to the customers when they install their product.

I HAVE PURCHASE EUREKA FORBES AQUAGUARD INTEGRA HI-LIFE ON 20/1/2009 FROM DELHI ROHNI/PITAMPURA BRANCH THROUGH MR.HARI PARSHAD COMPANY SALES OFFICER HIS EMPLOYEE CODE IS 39883434 . UNFORTUNATELY FROM DATE OF PURCHASED MACHINE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND EUREKA FORBES LTD DOES NOT CHANGE THE MACHINE OR REPAIR IT PROPERLY

the water purifier does not working

I have bought an Aquaguard I-Nova e-boiling model one & half years back from Kolkata & currently I am based out of Hyderabad. I have taken a comprehensive AMC contract for this product a year back & currently the product is just not operating for the last one month. I have registered the first complaint on 7th Jan 2009 & thereafter made several calls at the Company's 24 hour helpline but without any resolution. Even I do not receive any calls from any Service technician & now I am looking at escaling this thru mass communication channels as I have realised that there is no point calling up the Customer Service center. Given below are the Complaint number along with my Customer no.

Complaint No- [protected]
Customer No - [protected]

Lets see if I finally end up making a complaint at the Consumer Cell.

During my visit at Trade fair at delhi .Mr Rakesh Chaube of Eurka forbes has taken some mony as a token of registration and told us that this amount will be refunded once my man visit to your home . But till date no body has turned up and when ever we ask for money then he behaves very rudely and till date he has not returned the money which he has taken in the name EUREKA FORBES.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have purchased a RO system to wash out all my tension regarding happening of any disease due to impured water. But till date I purchased RO system I am in highly tension due to following reason:
1. I have purchased it on 10th December 2008. And your sale person promised me to dispatch bill within six working days. But till date I have not received any documents regarding purchase of RO system. Please note that I have purchased it from my highly hard work earning not from any Black money. It might be possible that your sales people think that all civil person are thieves and they will not bothered if not recived any bill/ invoice of the product purchased.
2. I have visited many times (How many times I can not counted) at your local office 51/5, Shipra path, Mansarovar, Jaipur but always get negative answer regarding bill. Now i feel that there is always a penalty of your guilty. And I think that I did crime to purchase Eureka forbes product, yytherefore getting punishment of this guilty.
With warm regards,
Dr. Jugal Kishore Taneja

Not working - not attended by service engineer
From S.Manivannan ( [protected] ) Chennai.

We have bought Eureka forbes Aquaguard - Classic water purifier 3 years before from your Sales personnel ( Vinayagam - [protected] ). We have taken AMC during sep-2007.

No one came till date after the commencement of AMC. At present the purifier was not working from Dec-08. During Dec-08 we have made complaint in Service cell. They have given Complaint no.80797168 and informed us that they will attend the job by next day. We have made several calls to the service center and got the same reply that it will be attended in a day or two. We also informed that this problem will be taken up with the consumer court. After then no response till date.

Tell me what should i do now. Shall i file a case at consumer court.

Please send your service engineer to attend the job immediately.

Hi,

I have purchased a new Eureka Forbes water Purifier from Nirmal Lifestyle in Mulund on 18/01/2009, for which I have the Annual Maintenance Contract.

On 20/01/2009 technician named Mr.Pandey came to fit and show the demo.He had completed the fitting to wall part but not able to find the problem for the purifier not functioning since only the alarm light was glowing.

He was not able to find the problem and thus conveyed us that another technician will come and solve but the technician did not turn up till 21/01/2009 EOD.

Meanwhile parallely I had registered the service on calling up the telephone number[protected] and the executive assured me that within 24 hrs the service will be completed but no result till now.

I think Customer helpline number is only meant for show purpose to customers since there was no action taken after the service registrtation task

Mr.Pandey had shared me this number 26870215 to log a complaint but after dailing 10-20 times I had been getting number busy and no one picks up the phone.

Again after followup with Mr.Pandey I got another number 25285903, to log complaint and from this number some action was taken by sending a technician today 22/01/2009 and I am in doubt whether this technician would be completing this task or not.

I want an explanation for this delay in Service.

I feel it a shame for a reputed company like you who commit to the customer about your good service.

I want to bring this issue to the public who trust your organization and purchasing the water purifier system.

I purchased Aquaguard RO System on 01.01.09 but leakage was start on 02.01.09. I logged complaint at Hanumangarh Jn. office, Mr Pankaj but person come on 09.01.09. Again leakage on 11.01.09 rectified on 13.01.09. Again leakage on 14.01.09 & complaint logged on 14.01.09 but after 12 phones to different persons like, Pankaj, Verma Ji & Surender problems not rectified up to 21.01.09. How can I assure for warranty service for whole life.

I had lodged several complaints for attending faults like 'Leakage, Non-stopping of water after switching off & Black particles in the Water) for EUREKA's DESIGNA WATER PURIFIER vide Complaint No.773 dt.22.12.2008 (Over phone no.[protected], 527 dt.24.12.2008 (Over phone no.[protected], M62466 dt.13.01.2009 (Over phone no.39883333 & 289 dt.17.01.2009 (Over phone no.[protected] inspite of having an AMC and following up repeatedly, I was told that they are going to attend to the problem. Till date either the problems were not attended or if attended, not rectified properly by the Engineers. This is the worst form of service that you can ever get. Eureka Forbes is extremely poor in customer service and customers are fooled and duped into buying their products.

Dear Sir,

I write this letter as a customer of your company out of lot of frustration, displeasure and resent towards the after-sales services being offered by your company and respective officers.

I had purchased EUREKA FORBES AQUA FLOW MACHINE AS IT’S FROM TATA GROUP AS I HAD A VERY GOOD TRUST IN THIS NAME AND IT’S PRODUCTS.

We experienced difficulties with the equipment operation FROM September-08. We immediately contacted the after sales service call centre and launched an official complaint. It has been nearly 5 months and till date our complaint has not been addressed. You would appreciate the fact that 5 months is a painfully long period for addressing a customer complaint and following up the matter with the company officers.

We have been made false promises and commitments by the officers about addressing our complaint. Following are the names of officers which we have contacted since last 5 months and they have not taken any action till date.

1. Mr. Ravi Kumar – Mobile Number[protected]

2. Mr. Shiv Saran – Mobile Number[protected]
Got very worst reply and answer given by this officer as he was asking don’t
talk to me we work like this and if you wish you can continue with our
services or just Forget it.

3. Mr. Punit – Mobile Number[protected]
His response was little bit positive but not able to solve this issue yet, as he
was trying but immediately forget to follow it up.
Also not able to send any person to pick up the cheque of renewal service
contract as he says he don’t have any AMC from in office and this reply I
am getting from him since last 60 days.

4. Mr. Parbhat Singh[protected]
The man to whom you have given the service contract on Eureka’s behalf
but you don’t explain him the method of working he is very least bother to
alternate any call and not even tried to solve the issues.

5. Just forget the name of the last person’s to whom I had talk and still the
problem is not solved and also the maintenance contract cheque is not
picked up and they force me to go to private agencies and given me the
number of Aakash Water Purifier Services – 022 – 4042 5656 he says
this is the better option then our Eureka’s service ???

It is really pathetic that we are being literally treated as "beggars" in our pursuit of contacting your officers and getting the equipment complaint resolved. We are being made to believe that we are at the mercy of your company officers. We get a feeling that the officers do not see any value in addressing a customer complaint.

I write this letter as a final attempt to get our grievance resolved and with a fervent hope that you will look into this matter ASAP and make an attempt to restore the customer confidence in your company's product and your company as a whole by addressing our complaint.

Regards,
