[Resolved]  Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. Appliances Division — Annual Maintenance Contract-violation of contract by company

Dear Sir,
I purchased Godrej fridge on[protected] Ltrs) at Chennai and entered into AMC with Godrej Appliances Division (Center AMBATTUR) on [protected] for 4 years. Application No: 582929/KAYAS/421.
During these 4 years, only once the manadatory servicing was carried out (i.e. while entereing into AMC on[protected]. Eventhough mandaroty servicing has to be carried out every year as per AMC, no one came. Even for general repairing also, technicians are not sent. On[protected], I went directly to Ambattur Godrej office and met Mr. Sathya Kumar, S., Asst. Manager, Servive and lodged my complaint (Call No. 435120, dt.[protected] for mandarory serviving and repairing water leakage in the rear side of the fridge. Till date, no one turned up. I might have contacted the call center more than a dozen time to send the technician as the water (defrost action) falls within the compressor compartment as the tray is broken and melted down. This is a very serious case as there is a chance for short circuit. With disgust, I wish to state that no one came from Godrej. I tried to contact Mr. Sathya Kumar in his Mobile number but there was response from him. The call center people told me that one Mr. R. Baskar is alloted for this work and I could not contact him.
Even in the year 2008, I faced water leakage problem within the fridge and no one from Godrey came for repairing. My complaint no at that time was 140980.
I am also having serious doubt that bogus entries are made and shown as work carried out. Mr. S. Sathya Kumar, Asst. Manager told me on[protected] that the bulb in the compartment was replaced in the year 2008. Myself and my wife are not able to recollect any such work. I requested him to show the work sheet, so that I can check the signature. But he failed to show the work sheet to me. Myself and my wife are employed. We do not have time to chase the people to get the work done as per the contract. I have not seen such a disgustful service in my life time. Now we feel that we have done the blunder for going to Godrej product and also for entering into AMC with Godrej.

Dear Sir / Madam,

Ref: Your AMC Contract No:[protected] &[protected] for washing Mc & refrigerator, issued by your Kolkata office & valid till[protected] &[protected] respectively.

I am a godrej customer since 1971. I am compelled by the situation / circumstances to address this letter with immense pain.

I have shifted from Kolkata to Dehradun on[protected] I approached your Franchisee M/S AV. Services. W/Mc Problem was rectified but not the refrigerator. I had to pay them Rs.3222/= as AMC charges for renewing the AMC of Washing Mc & refrigerator vide their receipt no: 117 dtd:[protected].

On[protected] Mr. Sudarshan of M/S AV Service came to me & issued his Cq No: 178844 for rs 3222/= drawn on Vijaya Bank, Dehradun stating that the AMC was rejected by the Co. without assigning any reason. I am holding this cheque. I was asked to sign a new form for AMC of my W/Mc as a second attempt, [payment to be mad after acceptance] which I did on spot. My refrigerator needed services since JAN- 2009 & still I need it but no action so far.

Since[protected], it is almost ONE & HALF YEAR, neither have I received the AMC papers nor any confirmation from you / them though an SMS was received by me around dec-2009 [Sender LM GODREJ]. Mails sent & Telephonic discussions made to all possible ends but in vain.

Having said as above I would like to state as under:
{ A }I feel that I am a victim of buying Godrej Products, though it is my first experience in last about 4 decades of association with you but for no fault on my part.
( B ) When the Amc was in force & rather the renewal charges were paid before expairy date, How and why AMC renewal can be rejected without assigning any reason and that too after NINE MONTHS?
( C ) Why a second attempt is necessary if it is rejected at the very first time?
( D ) Is it the policy of the company to reject or accept or ask for another attempts for renewal of AMC?
( E ) Why I have not been provided services by the company since Jan-2009 ?
( F ) Till date I have not received any paper from you about the validity of AMC and I am still in dark. I am of the firm opinion that my W/mc & refrigerator are still covered under AMC as the renewals charges were paid on[protected].
( G ) Fault on the part of your agents / servants Must/can not be the reason to deprive your customer from his legitimate rights if it is so.

I hope, you will take appropriate steps in this matter immediately and inform me about your obligations & my rights in this matter. Your customer needs Justice.

Thanking You,
Yours truly,


For ABHAY SHAH

Dear Sir / Madam, With reference to the subject matter cited above, I hereby want to inform you that, the Refrigerator as mentioned above was bought on 08/05/2007 on exchange of my 165ltr refrigerator from your authorized dealer M/S GHOSH BROTHERS Electronics Pvt. Ltd., G.S. road Guwahati at Rs[protected]=Rs12500(cash memo no. 18935, date-08/05/07). But, unfortunately your product failed to render regular service with never ending technical problems. It started out with problem relating to Gas leakage followed by Timer/Biratal damages and alike many a times.

The refrigerator, I bought have been a constant source of our never ending trauma & financial degradation. Incidents like damaging life saving medicines, the one that are being stored in the refrigerator have further added up to my difficulties that I have been facing after owning your product. Even no proper action has been carried out after the last complain I made on[protected], from your service centre’s end, till today. The matter has been informed to your service Engineer/Supervisor Mr. Shahnawaz Alam over the phone long time ago. Moreover, I have given written complaint to the Branch Manager Mr. Hemanga Choudhury of your Guwahati Branch Office on 23/04/10. They promised to replace the defective refrigerator with a new one (same model), but till today no action has been taken from their side.
Thus, I request you to kindly look over the matter and take necessary scurry steps to replace the defective refrigerator by a new one of the same model that I had bought without further wasting my time.
N.B.
• Your service centre has repeatedly tried to rectify the defect but failed.
• Infact, the two cabinet doors were damaged during carriage to the service centre.

Dear Sir,

This email is with regard to the improper service that has been offered to us by your team in Chennai Ambattur Service department. We had sent our old Godrej cupboard for service and repainting to your service center in Ambattur Chennai on 23/07/2011. The charges for the services were valued at Rs 4219/-.

The service man Mr T K Sundaram promised to return the product duly serviced on the 30/07/2011, but later defered the same to 06/08/2011 citing lack of availabilility of the colour that we had requested for ( Pacific Blue)

I had earlier bought a storewell from you in Oct 2008 and its because of the trust on the company as a leading brand, we sent the old cupboard bought in 1972 for service.

We are not happy with service that has been provided as the rust and dirt have not been completely removed and there are lots of places that the painting has not been touched. The once smooth surface has now been made rough due to lack of proper painting.

There fore I demand a rework on the cupboard and return the same with proper service of what had been promised. Please also note that if this not being actioned at the earliest, I will be left with no option but to take this up legal consumer forum.
Sir, I was using Godrej product few years before, I still get calls from Godrej company 4 times daily without fail, inspite of telling them we were unhappy with the service which forced us to move to different brand.
Recently, we got a fridge. There were manufacturing defect with dent on the door, which was unnoticed by the technician from company. After registring complaint with the company on this, we made several attempts to request the company persons & the dealer to exchange it, it was just 2 days old. We got only bad treatment from them, which forced us to approach Consumer court (CAG). We got it replaced with in 8 days of procurement. CAG charges us only documentation charges (if we are interested to pay), they are valunters who help the consumers like us from such fraud companies.
Seriously I am planning to lodge a complaint against Godrej for marketing calling us & distrubing the elders @ home in the daytime.

Please approach CAG
