[Resolved]  Hyundai Dealer A1 Hyundai Andheri Kurla Rd, Mumbai — Cheating by the owners of the A-1 Auto Pvt Ltd. 3, 4 & 5 Town centre Andher-Kurla Road Mumbai

Address:

Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

Regarding the above subject I Dr. Abdul Faheem Raof khan resident of 46/17 LIG Colony VB Nagar Kurla (W) Mumbai-400070, presently working with Ranbaxy Pharmaceutical Ltd, Andheri (E) Mumbai. I along with my wife Dr. Khaneta Parveen who is working with TATA Memorial hospital Parel, Mumbai has booked a new i-10 car from the above said A-1 Auto pvt ltd, Mumbai. I-10 car is booked in my wifes name and at the time of car booking we had paid Rs. 50,000/- as an advance booking amount on date 14/02/2010 with the cheque no. 495982 from central bank of India branch Parel, Mumbai.
A-1 auto pvt ltd has issued the receipt for the Rs. 50,000/- with a receipt no. 2087 on date 14/02/2010. At the time of booking A-1 auto has promised me to deliver the car within 2 weeks provided we pay the entire amount of the car with all the necessary RTO registration and other works, but even after waiting for more than 3 weeks they had not contacted me, and when I had contacted them and enquired about deliver of the car than they told me that it will take another 4 weeks more for the car delivery. From their sources I came to know that recently they had some income tax raid for some tax related issue, so they are not able to deliver the car and he advised me better to cancel the booking and book the car from some other dealer.
I had cancelled the booked car on date 08/03/2010 and asked for the refund of the advanced booking amount of Rs. 50,000/-, than they assured me that they will pay the said amount within 10 days. But after many requests and visits they have not returned my money back. After contacting with Mr. Pradeep Tilani; one of the Director and owner of the A-1 Auto pvt ltd, Mumbai, he assured that they will soon issue a cheque.
On date22/03/2010 I had received the cheque of Rs. 50,000/- with a cheque no. 263106 in my wifes name Dr. Khaneta Parveen drawn from state bank of Patiala, central point building, Andheri Kurla road Andheri (E) Mumbai. When they had given me the cheque they had taken the original receipt of Rs. 50,000/- which they had given me at the time of advance booking.
Immediately I had deposited the cheque in my wifes account in ICICI bank Dadar branch with A/C number[protected] for the clearing, but the cheque was returned with the notification that the account balance is insufficient to pay the cheque amount. Again after that we had contacted Mr. Pradeep Tilani than he directed us to deposit the same cheque again, so it will get cleared. On date 07/04/2010 I had again deposited the same cheque in the same bank account but again the cheque is returned with the same reason that bank account balance is insufficient to pay the amount.
Again after that I had contacted with Mr. Pradeep Tilani and stated the cheque rejection story, so this time he again assured me and directed to visit his A-1 Auto and collect the pay order of Rs. 50,000/- from his account department. On the next day when I reached the A-1 auto and inquired about the pay order than I came to know that they were not instructed to issue any such pay order and they are unable to handover me any such pay order.
After that I had contacted to Mr. Pradeep Tilani on his mobile phone [protected] but he is not answering the phone call.
From his sources I came to know that still he is taking the car booking from the other innocent customers who are unaware from all these notorious activities and cheating.
Sir, I request you to kindly help me in getting back my booking amount of Rs. 50,000/- from the owners of the above mentioned showroom and take necessary action against them for still booking the car after my incidence, so the innocent customer should not get trapped in their net.
I’d already filed the police case and also put up the case in the court against A-1 Hyundai dealer; Mr. Pradeep Tilani and others. Nevertheless, if I’m not satisfactorily replied from the Hyundai India Ltd, than I’m enforced to put up the legal case in the court against the Hyundai Ltd.
I’d booked the car because of the name of the Hyundai and not because of the dealer, so now I’m putting up the entire matter in the global tele media and news papers and also filing the case against the Hyundai motors pvt ltd. I’m sending this prior information as intimation so the deposited money can be refunded back or else I’ve to go to the court. My Hyundai customer care complaint no. is[protected].
