[Resolved]  IFB Home Appliances — Fraud committed

I bought an IFB Microwave Oven (with grill) from Bajaj Electronics (Hyderabad) one month back with the hope that this is one of the best brands I could buy. I was surprised to find a Samsung Kit along with the micro oven instead of an IFB kit being delivered at my place. I followed up with the IFB people to provide me with an IFB kit but no use. Instead they asked me to buy a kit separately from the head office.
After several reminders, 2 people came for the demonstration who seemed to know nothing about the oven. They asked me to follow the booklet that was provided along with the machine.

I have never come across such horrible after sales service. My request to all the buyers- Pls. do not go for IFB product if you want peace of mind.

i had bought a ifb microwave on 10 th november 2007.till i bought the oven it was not working well, the i registered a complaint to ifb service centre via phone. a service engineer came to my home and took a part from the oven to replace it. till now the part was not replaced. the part was took by him one month before, i had just kept my oven like a doll in my home. so i want the ifb to take action to recover my oven.

HI All,

I would like to tell you that you better file a case in consumer court for the same.

IFB service in GOA is very perfect and fantastic and I have realised it. I think IFB service is weak in some other places across India. So, IFB has to take care.

Andrew

Use less Company & Products. I have already burned my fingers n pockets. Dont buy anything. Even MWO is totally imported from China n sold 3times higher.

Please be alert. No Service No Spares.

I also taken IFB washing machine and making noise while washing cloths, and the complaint is also unattended after more than 30 days passed.

i had taken an AMC effective from 19/07/2008 but till date no one has come from IFB for the routine check up inspite of following up with their local dealer.
It is really disgusting to note that such a good brand has so poor service back up.
I would recommend all customers not buy any IFB product and suffer my fate and agony of repeatedly calling them

washing machine/microwave oven — Fraud by company representative

Dear Sir,
I had purchased one washing machine and one microwave oven from M/s Navrang Electronics, Delhi-92 on Nov'2008. One Mr.Kamal Uniyal, a representative of IFB visited to my home for the demo and he proposed to purchase a trolley and cover of the washing machine. He insisted on the cash payment of Rs.1465/- towards the cost of such item for their prompt delivery. The said amount was paid to him for which he did not issued any receipt. Till date he has not turned up with the recommended accessories. On contacting the Delhi's trans Yamuna service centre, no proper reply was given about the whereabouts of Mr.Kamal Uniyal. It is very painful and embarrassing that the company is employing such a service personnel/representative who are doing the frauds with the customers. The IFB company is requested to direct the Delhi's Customer service centre either to deliver the goods or refund the money as it is already going to be 2 months. IFB can make a inquiry from the Delhi's customer service centre to find the fact and factual datas as I have firm believe that I am not the lone person who has been victimised by the company representative but there would be so many others who have been cheated by Mr.Kamal Uniyal (cell No.[protected]). It is also very humiliating that the Banglore centre has also become defunct as no response is coming from there end. Two complaints on the said subject has already been sent to Company's Customer feed back/customer complaint in the month of Nov'2008, the reply for these are still awaited.

Hi we have an IFB machine at our place and its functioning wonderfully yes at times things go wrong but that may be due to improper usage faulty electrical connection lack of earthing. Im completely satisfied with the machine we have and the quality of wash it provides w have an elena which we have been usin formore than 3 years without any hitch.

Keep it up IFB

Hi,

I Have also bought a IFB washing machine Elena in Year 2005. after 2 year i found spark and flame from machine and after get check from their service team it was told to us that timer has been burned including wiring of machine. I paid around 3000 Rs to get replace burned part. after 1 year again found same problem and paid same amount to replace it. this time service team took this machine to their workshop to check thoroghly why this problem has repeated.
Same time service team also recommend me to have a AMC and same i have taken for 2 year and machine under AMC now. in AMC around 6 time my machine has been burned due to same problem and same time service man repalced same part. in between it was also told me that get check earthing which found ok later and also told me to have voltage cutout which was costed around 900RS. After this also machine is regularly repeating same problem.

IFB customer care is not taing it very series as they suppose to take it.

3 day back i faced again same problem and immediately we have reported to customer care but no action has been taken yet. we request to IFB to change my machine with new product.

Ticket No is : 2751372

My house is being painted. Could you please depute your service personnel on Wednesday (February 25, 2009) or during week ends preferably with prior intimation?

Regards

I totally agree with you and I suggest that something should be done against these companies in the court of law. The product and service of this company is really pathetic. I don't know has it become an internation brand.

Hi all, IFB AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is a cheating one and Don't pay a single rupee for the same . They never turn you once received the amount . Be aware .I have paid a sum of Rs 1738 /- towards AMC on 15.09.2009 and my contract period will be ended on 14.09.2010 .Till date IFB has not send any technicians to repair my IFB Elena Washing Machine, inspite of my repeated requests for the past one month . Further i made a complaint on 26.06.10 vide complaint No 4700147 through their 24 Hrs Customer Care[protected] . But they never send any technicians for repairing my washing machine and simply told me that we will send technician tomorrow as a first call AND IFB never send any technician till date . The IFB company is giving preferences to the customers those who have not paid AMC amount . Since the said customers only paying the exorbitant amount demanded by IFB . IFB is totally ignoring the customers those who have paid the AMC, since IFB is no way benefited from the said customers (AMC) . I am put to great mental agony and hardship due to the ill service and imperfection of IFB . HENCE I ONCE AGAIN TELL YOU ALL THAT DON' T PAY ANY AMOUNT TOWARDS AMC TO IFB . Regards G.ANANDAKUMAR, ADVOCATE, HIGH COURT, MADRAS . CELL :[protected].

IFB is one of the WORST companies in India as far as after sale service and quality of products are concerned. It is really a horrible experience going for after sale service. Nobody listens.

IFB service in Goa is Horrible. Before they used to give prompt service. But now they have started a call centre to take complaints and the people there only note the complaint but cannot give any required information. They say the will get back. They give a service date but the technician doesn't turn up. If you call the call centre, they don't know anything but say they will check up and revert but never revert. They gave the no. of the service centre too and also the service manager. They are the same, either they don't answer the call or when they do, they promise to check with the technician and revert but never do. No one gives the no. of the technician who can actually tell what time he wil come. Once a day passes without turning up, the call centre says actually the service time is 24 WORKING hours not 24 hours. After expiry of that, I don't know what they will say. In this age where time is very important and people are working and specially have to wait at home for the technician, such service is unacceptable. Before I thought IFB was good, now I am sure I will not buy an IFB next time with such SHODDY service. Besides the service, the machine does not wash cleanly and i have already had to change the drum twice besides other repairs.

Dear Mr. G. Dasgupta,
President and CEO, IFB

I have an important complaint to make.
We wanted to purchase a Dishwasher for which we approached IFB showroom in Bangalore o 23 Nov. They gave us the details and informed that we should make a cash payment on 24 Nov assuring us the product would be delivered and installed on 25Nov without fail. The m/c was delivered to our residence very late, around 7pm which was to be delivered by 4 p.m. We visually checked it and found stains on the surface of the m/c. When we spoke to the concerned about this they sent a person with a camera, took pics and said they would replace the piece the next day, and left.
We were in constant touch with a person by name Sriranga. The next day when things did not start moving we tried calling the call centre who gave us a number in GOA. He assured us that they would hasten the process, but nothing happened. Since we were the affected party we tried a few times after which Mr Nitin Regional Service Manager South called and assured us that it would be replaced and installed without fail on Friday the 25 Nov, and gave me his mobile no. in case work did not progress.
On 25 Nov we kept chasing and finally a new m/c was delivered at 5 pm. Subsequently we called up Mr Sriranga for installation. He gave another no. of a Mr Reddy, who after he heard our need of installation switched of/did not attend to our calls. I tried to call Mr Nitin and found his mobile was non existent as per recorded msg.
Finally thro Saturday we kept reminding that the m/c needed installation, but no response. I am writing this since it is Sunday morning.
I request your sincere interference in this matter. Otherwise we are constrained to believe that IFB is a company who do not care for their customers, which I might be constrained to bring to the notice of Consumer Grievance Cell and the Media.
Will I get a response from you pl.
