Eureka Forbes Complaints & Reviews

I have booked my complain on dated 21/09/10 for not working of aquaguard to customer care centre but till concerned office is not attending my complain. Please do needful from your end.

Eureka Forbes is NOT the Company one can trust anymore. The number of complaints speak of how disgustingly unprofessional it has become. We have just purchased an expensive water purifier through a sales pitch from one of their sales and service people who promised prompt and speedy delivery and fitting. They made many phone calls to seal the sale, then followed promptly to deliver a product that looked tampered with, and immediately collected the cash payment with a promise that it would be fitted within half hour. No one arrived well after two/three hours and then none of the 4/5 people who so eagerly sold the product were reachable.
after endless calls to various helplines they claimed it would be fitted the following day!
The audacity of them to try and pass the buck and then refuse to do even the first and foremost service of fitting something they sold!!!!
Why is the company not being sued for such gross inefficiency? I have insisted they return my payment immediately and take their product back....and there is no response. one call to the helpline was answered and they said the job would be done tomorrow...but I AM NOT INTERESTED ANYMORE!!!!
I wish to also add that the consumer forum should do something seriously about this total lack of professional decency from an old name such as theirs so that other consumers dont waste their time, money and effort on such lousy companies who seem to have lost all their ethics.
would be grateful for a response.

My family has developed and irretation in the mouth. Doctor suggested due to water intake . There is no meter on the system that tells us the quality of water is below the standard. When it has reached we never know , we have to call the customer care to bring the instrument.

Now with all the problems we have become dependent on the product. Its a serious Business as we consume the water from the product. Though all the assurance is given while making the purchase. There no response from customer care.

I have requested for Service of my Aquasure Water Purifier. I had made the request two months back nobody turned up. Then I had started requesting starting 17th Sept 2010 till date 22nd Sept 2010 has turned up. Everytime the customer service says it has been escalated to higher managment.

I think we need the guys running the organisation should realise the business they are in and can lead to life time problems if there products are not rectified or added with features that cautions the customer. Every product that deals or will lead to health hazards should have indicators. Doesnt matter they charge more for it. Govt to enforce these instructions.

I never expected the service to be worst. Every time I call the customer care, they say the some technician would visit soon and hang up the call. After repeated complaints from past 4 days, none of the technician has turned up. If I have paid the annual maintenance, then I expect some service when required. This is the way they treat the customers who already fell prey on buying their product. They are mastered in selling the product only. I have decided to let my organization know about the service they provide so that my colleagues should think twice to buy any of their product.

The General Manager
Eureka Forbes Limited

G. T Road, Jalandhar
Sub: Complaint against Cheating and leading down the name of the company
Respected Sir,
With regards I would like to say that Mr. Aman Sharma (Manager) supplied me water purifier of your company on 28.08.2008 vide Advance Receipt no.011306 for Rs. 500/- and bill no.011576 of Dated 28.08.2008 of Rs,7190/- . Which was not installed till 25.05.2010 due to some personal reasons? Mr. Aman Sharma came to me once again in the month of May,2010 and asked me for the installation of RO. I replied him that water purifier is already lying with me which he supplied earlier. He then suggested me to get the purifier replaced in place of RO with some relaxation. Then he took Rs.6500/- from me installed an RO no.AN ISO 9001. I asked him regularly for the bill but he did not give to me till date.
1. I contacted him many times he never tried to attend my calls many times except few in which he only gave me time for coming to my house. But he never turned up. Ultimately I wanted to get the service of the RO I reached in your office on Friday,13.08.2010 and filed a complaint for the service of RO. On Saturday,14.08.2010 two persons came to attend the complaint. They did not attended the service to RO by saying that this RO doesn’t belong to their company so they are bound to refuse.
2. This is how Mr. Aman Sharma had cheated me and harassed me and gave me mental tension and tried to lead down the name of your Company and belief. Everyone should be careful from this cheater.
3. Now being a teacher I want that he should be punished in the following ways.
1. With written warning from your end for cheating people like me in future merely for the minor earnings.
2. Replacing my RO in original which belongs to Eureka Forbes Limited
3. Returning Rs. 10000/- which he had taken for the harassment, mental tension and physical monetary expenditures rendered by me for the proceedings and grabbing him.
I hope you will not disappoint me and settle the case at your level only.
A photocopy of water purifier bill is attached herewith for your kind perusal, further proceedings and action at your end.
Hoping for the earliest and favorable action please.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours sincerely,

R/Sir/Madam,
Kindly note that above complaint was filed by me to Mr Sandeep, Mr. Raman Sharma and Mr. Dhawan incharges of the service centres but no one turned up and looked into this matter interestedly.
These three officers too tried to befool me and deceive me with sweet words and foul promises for the replacement of RO and actual compensation. They them selves are involved in cheating and corruption by deceiving people. That is why they are not taking any action against their employee.
Now you are requested to kindly look into the matter and bring the culprits to book with proper punishment who are ledding down the name and fame of Eureka Forbes Limited at any cost.
Hoping for the prompt reply at your end.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours Sincerely.

1. I had placed an order for one Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner through Eureka Forbes Salesman Mr. Dinesh Rastogi on 28 Aug 2010, order no:[protected].
2. The item has been promptly delivered to my place on 29 Aug 2010, Challan No: 16681246.
3. Till today the 17 Sep 2010, no one has come to open the parcel and demonstrate the use of this machine.
4. Many complaints were logged on their call centre, but no use. One of the request no: 83534415 dated 09 Sep 2010 is yet to be complied by the Company.
5. Then I contacted the local Nerul/Navi Mumbai Eureka Forbes customer support centre many times on phone, to log my complaint. None of the managers will come on the phone anytime I have tried. Only a girl named Babita responds sometime. Though she promised to send someone to my place to commission the machiene, no one has come till todate.
6. This is the lousiest form of customer support ever experienced by me in my 60 years of life! This speakes volumes about this Tata Company, which prides itself on good customer care.

I have taken annual maintainance contract with Eureka Forbes water purifier. My purifier is not working properly. I lodged compaint with 39883333 complaint no being 83503934 around 28 august 2010. After that, I have been calling them almost every alternate day (almost 6 times till now) and everytime I am told it would be done next day (It has still not happened). The company seems to be every irresponsible towards its customers and the after sales service is very pathetic. I even spoke to the supervisor and he told that he will call back in 1 hour. I never received any call, so I called up again today and I was told no senior person is available to talk to you. I am not out of ideas on how to get my purifier serviced.

I am possessing 2 years AMC with Eureka forbes for my water purifier. Pls find the attached file for your ref.

Last service was done on[protected] and that too with great difficulty and no service has been provided to me since then and neither any visit has been made by your representative. In this process, i have lost 3 months of my AMC without taking any service. Local service stn and Ahemdabad stn was was called up (Ref no - 1056) but no proper response was given to me. Complaint was logged on to [protected]@eurekaforbes.com but all in vain.Such a repute company and what a poor response.

I am using RO system for the past many years and for service I am having annual AMC. Everything was going fine till last August. My last AMC was renewed in August 2009 and it has expired now. However, for the entire year nobody turned up for any servise, so much so, that nobody has called up for its renewal. Not a single service was given during the entire AMC period despite my repeated calls to local authorized service centre “HARIOM”.



I also called up the Euro help line on 21st August and was given service request No. [protected] but there was no actual ground response from any service centre. Tied with making many calls with the service centre I put in a service request on Eureka Forbes site on 9.9.10 and was again given service request No. [protected].



Fortunately, second time I got a call from HARIOM service centre and a girl who called up was virtually threatening me for writing and accused me that there was no one at home and how can I expect the service. It was bit surprising that somebody calls up in the late afternoon and expects that somebody to be at home to receive the service person. Even much smaller group do inform before coming to home. I told her that we are working family and if she wants to send somebody next day, one o[censored]s will be at home. She agreed to this but while one o[censored]s took leave, nobody turned up.



In the meantime I also called up Ghaziabad Incharge of Eureka Forbes and he assured me for prompt service. The person was very courteous but that was the end of the story. No body turned up even after speaking to senior person of your company. Will somebody listen to it?

I have bought a Water Purifier (RO) from m/s Eureka Forbes Ltd thru their Raipur Location on 28/07/2010. On 09/09/10 it stoped working, after complaint to their local service centre but no body bothered to attend the complaint in time. After 2 days a machenic came and announced that some part is burnt which will be replaced when it will be supplied from their local head office. The Water purifier is still idle and I have telephoned several times to them but no body resposing for solving complaint.They always say that someone will come to repair the machine. I am shocked to think, a company like Eureka Forbes render this kind of service. For future I will think 1000 times to purchase or refer their products........

There is no response from the area manager mr kishore holding mobile no:[protected],who is incharge of the colaba area for taking care of the complaints for aqua guard purifier. It has been almost 2 months since the technician has checked for the faulty pump in the unit who was supposed to replace it and after several call also he is not bothered to send the part or the technician to fix this unit. And to bring in to your notice this is an Institute Where the children will be affected without functional purifier .
Thanks

I recently bought an AQUAGUARD RO PROTECT+. Just after a week I bought it, the device started malfunctioning. Water was continuously going out through the outlet valve, though no water was actually getting filtered and stored in the device. We called the customer care, service person came in two days, fixed in two minutes and left. We dint have any problem for the next three days. Now we are facing the exact same issue. I have again raised a complaint with customer care yesterday and I was informed that this time a senior service technician will attend us that very day. We are still waiting....
I remember reading a similar complaint about aquaguard service in this site, but I had to go with this product as I was not able to find any other product. I suppose aquagaurd should give as much importance to their product and service as they give to their marketing.

I have an Aquaguard water filter which is 6-7 years. This is under AMC and has stopped working. However, Aquaguard could not set it right even after 3 weeks. The Sales agent promised to deliver a new system and give me rebate on the AMC. So I placed the order on 5th September. The Salesman promised to deliver the new system by 6th or latest by 7th. However, today is 13th and I am yet to receive the new system. I am also yet to receive the credit for the AMC. I have made atleast 7-8 calls to the help line and they all tell lies. This is a totally useless company. In the mean time I am required to buy water for the past one week. Can I claim compensation from Aquaguard. I would also like to cancel the order.

This is a sick company !!!!

Complaint Number 83440176 and 83545330
Hi,

I am really really tired of calling Eureka Forbes again and again, but there has been no resolution whatsoever to my problems.

I had purchased a Eureka Forbes XForce vacuum cleaner (Order No[protected], sold to me by salesmen from Eureka Forbes Bhandup office. The name of the salesman was Ashok Vekhande ([protected]). Although, he came to my hope to take order, cheques and to give delivery, the sales order was prepared on the name of Mr R Sharma (No: 9044947). And then my toubles began.

Mr Ashok Vekhande had told me that the Vacuum Cleaner comes with 10 free dust bags. When we opened the carton at our home in front of Mr Ashok Vekhande, the dust bags were missing. He called up his senior (some Mr Manoj from Bhandup office, apparently his Team Lead, [protected]) and informed him that there are no dust bags in the carton. Mr Manoj then talked to me, and asked me to give an application in writing to Mr Ashok Vekhande, who will then deliver the dust bags to me within 3 days.

Since then, it has been just innumberable calls and false promises each time to deliver. I must have made at least 50-60 calls to Ashok and Manoj.

Then I registered a complaint with the Eureka Forbes helpline. But, I can say for sure that the helpline is totally bogus. It is just there to make a fool out of people by giving them a complaint number, on which you are never going to act. The resolution time for my complaint was given as two (2) days, but I have lost the count of how many days have passed.

Also, till date, I have not recieved the Invoice for the vacuum cleaner purchased by me. Now, I seem there is something fishy. The Vacuum clean did not appear to be new, when it was delivered to my home. My guess is that, it is either a spurious product or a refurbished one.

I want you to
a) deliver the dust bags as soon as possible
b) prove that the product is an original product, by providing the invoice for the same.

I can wait for your response by only till 17th September 2010, failing which I would be left with no choice, but to go in for a legal recourse in a consumer court.

Regards,
Harwinder

There had been so many reminder to Aquasure but nothing happened. This is third month still no resolution. Aquasure people did called up but the vendor did not turned up till date. Vendor that does the servicing for the machine just think fools the Aquasure people and They in turn fools the customer. Very Very Very.... unhappy with the product of Aquasure. Pani ka Doctor, my foot... they might be doctor to make foool. ONe should not buy any products. making fool.

I had bought eureka forbes REVIVA Ro in the month of Jaunary 2010.I had booked a complaint on 28th august 2010 asking for servicing the machine. we have not received single service as against the 3 free service which was promised during the purchase of the product. even after calling the customer care for 4 times I have not received any service for my machine.

I really regret for having bought the machine from eureka forbes. Many of my friends did tell me not to go in for this product with eureka forbes because of their bad service. inspite of that i bought and i regret for that now.

I need a immediate action on the above issue or otherwise i have no choice but to go to the consumer court and file a case against eureka forbes.

thanks

The company has outsourced it's services to third party and is least bothered about after sales. Firstly, the service agency never turns up without reminders. Secondly, they are extremely ill trained and have no professional knowledge. Third, and most important, THERE IS NO REPRESENTATIVE AVAILABLE FROM THE COMPANY TO HEAR CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. We are forced to dial the same call centre number for any thing in the world however of no use.
Pathetic way of managing consumers.
No sure if they scan through such sites also or not. Not sure if someone will hear us voice. I am disappointed.....
