Dear Sir, Madam

Sub: Defective dishwasher and bad after sales service. Refund of amount towards purchase of equipment, extended warranty, accessories, and compensation.

I want to bring to your kind notice the mental agony I am facing due to defective equipment delivered to me on 6.1.08, who’s functioning couldn’t be rectified in spite of all efforts made during last 34 months.

I have patiently tried to co-operate as much as possible, undergoing great hardship and was always hopeful, but now I am frustrated with the quality of dish washer machine and bad after sales service, and have decided to take up the matter to the consumer court for relief.

The latest Example being my complaint no. 5241461 registered on 8.10.10 attended after delay of 20 days by the engineer Mr. Sunil Tel No. [protected]. He did nothing to rectify the machine giving excuse of non availability of parts He didn’t turn up again and even closed my complaint. I had to re-register my complaint on 8.11.10 (Complaint no. 5387898). This time complaint was attended by Mr. Dhanprakash Tel No [protected]after a delay of 5 days. He has removed certain parts for replacement and has not turned up as yet. I have complained repeatedly on customer helpline no. [protected] to Mr. Pradeep on 11.11.10, Mr. Subajit on 16.11.10, and Ms Gyatri on 17.11.10 with no results. I was also asked by customer care officers to directly contact Mrs Anuradha -[protected], Mrs Sona[protected], Mrs Monica[protected]. However on these telephone nos nobody attends to calls.

Facts
I have purchased dishwasher Neptune model on 6.1.08 from your distributor Arvee Enterprises, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi with the hope of getting a good reputed brand and after sales service to help my aged parents to ease out their work.

I also took extended warranty for additional 2 yrs after paying the required amount over and above the usual 2 yrs warranty given with the product.

The dishwasher started malfunctioning within 15 days of purchase and is still not working till date (20.11.10).

During last 34 months, I have made innumerable complaints at your customer care no: [protected] and every time I was given assurance of speedy rectification of problem.

However the complaints were either not attended and complaint closed, or attended to after delay of 15-30 days after each complaint, that to after repeated reminders at national customer care no and local service centre complaint no, although according to rules it should be attended to within 24 hrs.

Several times my complaint was left unattended and I used to receive SMS on my registered mobile tel. no. that my complaint has been resolved.

My complaint was forwarded repeatedly on my request from the customer care to several service engineers and high officials of the company at Delhi branch, but no one had time to look into my complaint, for which they are employed by the company.

I made repeated requests at customer care to provide me with all the data pertaining to my previous complaints and their follow-up during last several months but they have denied my right to information.

No document at the time of attending complaint is ever provided to me for my record, and no explanation is given to me regarding the nature of problem and the service done or details of part changed.

The parts brought for replacement are unsealed bearing no company seal and always leave me wondering if the replaced part is genuine.

The complaint when attended to, also bears no permanent solution, as the machine breaks down again and again after few days interval rendering it practically of no use.

No follow up call is given after complaint is attended, to judge customer satisfaction.

The service engineers mostly become unavailable on phone, or blatantly tell us that the complaint will be attended by another person even if the trouble starts the very next day of attending complaint. Moreover, I am told to register complaint again on customer care which further wastes time.

The following is a part of data available with me regarding the dates of complaints, complaint nos, people contacted from time to time.

DATE OF PURCHASE 6.1.08
CUSTOMER CODE: 1318851 (OLD: 1301129)
DATE OF FIRST BREAKDOWN 10.3.08
DATA OF COMPLAINTS

Complaint nos/ registered on –

I have tried to contact the following officials/ service engineers from time to time who have always either not responded or remained indifferent.

Mr. Bharat Bhushan (Manager-[protected], [protected]), Mr. Alam (Service engineer-[protected]), Mr. Dhanprakash (Service engineer-[protected]), Mrs Kamini (IFB Official-[protected]), Mr. Amit anand (Service Manager-[protected]), Mrs. Monica (Service coordinator[protected],[protected], Mr. Rajesh Burman (Manager-[protected]), Mr. Yogesh (Senior service engineer-[protected]), Mr. Milan Chandola (Service Manager-[protected]), Mr.Ajay (Branch Head-), Mr. Yograj (Area Service Manager-[protected]), Mrs. Ankita (Area Service Manager-[protected]), Mrs. Anuradha (Service manager-[protected]), Mrs. Sona[protected]


I was misguided by the service engineers from time to time by putting the entire blame for repeated malfunction of the machine on us and suggesting measures involving huge expenditure.



The following are few of the many measures suggested to me.

The water pressure in the pipe line is insufficient.

Although the water pressure was strong enough as the water is supplied by overhead tank approx 14 feet high and 2000 lts capacity,

I still responded by installing a separate pipe line and overhead tank, but later found that even then the problem was not solved.

I was asked to use desilter several times by different personnel attending on different days for the same complaint within a span of 7 days.

This incurred me a substantial monetary loss without any result. (Total 10 packets used)

I was asked to purchase a pressure pump, and magnetic flow equipment from them.

I refused, as it was an absurd idea as the company doesn’t recommend and the pressure of water was more than sufficient. I learnt from other customers later that suggestions were intended to earn them extra income.


The following are the inferences drawn regarding malpractices/ deficiency of services from above facts and figures.

As is evident from above data, the following facts emerge about the quality of product and the after sales services:

Defective piece: -
The dishwasher supplied is defective as it is hardly in working condition from the time it was brought until today.

Poor after sales service:
The product has malfunctioned every few days and the quality of after sales service is extremely poor and sub standard.

Delayed service:
The complaint is attended to after delay of 15-30 days that to after repeated requests.
Attending to complaint is mostly limited to a visit by personnel with suggestions to change parts without any result. They then don’t turn up again and give excuses for non availability of parts.

No follow up
There is no mechanism in your company to follow up complaint and to judge customer satisfaction regarding resolution of complaint.
The complaint is invariably closed as per feed back by the service engineer even without attending and solving the complaint. The customer is then asked to register afresh a new complaint.

Denial of customer right to information:
The service engineers do not provide any documents pertaining to diagnosis of problem and measures taken, neither the details of work done and parts replaced.
The customer care centre failed to provide me information regarding my previous complaints and their follow-up for my record and information purpose.

Replaced parts substandard?
The parts brought for replacement are neither sealed nor bear company logo thereby placing a doubt about the genuineness of the part.

Apathy of senior officials:
Even the high officials at local branch level are not concerned about the customer problems and are mostly unavailable, irresponsible, disinterested and unresponsive.

Corruption:
The service centre personnel are indulging in malpractices and it seems are indulging in parallel business by suggesting several products not recommended by the company to customers like magnetic flow meter, pressure pumps.
They even try to charge customers on one pretext or another for servicing during warranty period, that to without providing bill.


Inefficient service engineers:
The service engineers are inefficient, work on basis of ‘hit and trial method’, indulge in temporary ‘jugaru work’ in their own language.
They are discourteous and refuse to come even when the complaint has been attended by them the previous day and remain unsolved.



My motive of making complaint to you

My motive is not only to solve my problem but also to save a brand like IFB.
This will require drastic steps to remove deficiencies as I have pointed out earlier.
To add, I still think IFB is a big brand and as a matter of fact want the company to be transparent, customer friendly.


What I want:
Either refund the total amount with interest + compensation for the deficiency in quality of product and service.
Or
Else I will be left with no choice but to put up my case in consumer court..

I AGRRE WITH THE CANDID AND APT STATEMENT OF DR SAHIB.THE SREVECIES OB IFB ARE FAR FROM SATISFACTORY AND NOT USERS FRIENDLY AT ALL.

UNLESS, THE TOP LEVEL DOES SOMETHING TO ACHIEVE THE REQUISITE CUSTOMER, S SATISFACTION LEVEL, THIS BRAND IS LIKELY TO LOSE ITS GROUND AND WELL ESTABLISHED REPUTATATION IN INDIA.ATLEAST, ONCE THE COMPLAITNS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THE LEVEL OF SENIOR EXCUTIVE, HIS OR HER RESPONSE SHOULD BE PROMPT AND APPROPRIATE RATHER THAN BEATING AROUND THE BUSH.

I also bought IFB fully automatic washing AW60-806 from Darpan Sales Bathinda on 31.07.2008 vide bill no. 669. It is not working for the last 20 days. I had registered a complaint no. 214 dated 08.01.2010 at IFB service centre Bathinda. After few days a technician came to my house to see the machine. He even does not know about functions of machine. When I told him about the problem, he said PCB has to be replaced and it will take two days. After making requests for a week on telephone and visiting the centre personally, again a technician came on 20.01.2010 with a PCB. He does not know how to open the machine. He then asked for manual and then he was able to open the machine. Then he said that the PCB is not matching with the old one and said he will come back after two days. But after making many calls, even upto today no one came from IFB service centre.

IFB Appliances i one of the most iresponsible after sales service providers. their reps are criminals they behave as if they are invincible. I must say the company either has no brains or is managed by fools to give such pathetic service.

It's been more than 48 hrs after we bought 2 microwave ovens separately from one of your retail stores & we still haven't got the demonstration the retailer had promised to be there within 24 hrs of registration.
our registrations numbers are :-

Dear Sir,

I Purchased one IFB -Front Door, Fully Automatic Washing Machine from Saravan Stores, Shanmugam Road, Tambaram with Bill No.22526/31.12.2009
SRL NO. 52464.

The machine is a fulty one and so far at least 6 times it break down with various issues. I am wasting so much time by calling the local call centre and wasting my time. The machine is under Warranty and i am not happy wth the machine. Recenly the machine is down from last week of Sept10. So far no action has been taken other than sending the sales engineer for two times.

I request you to replace the machine immediately.

It is causing more stress and strain for us due to non availability of the machine. We are having 4 Adults and 2 Children at home. Assume clothes to wash for 6 people in a day.

Every time when the machine breaks down, it will be rectified after a week ( we used to spend several days with follow up and regular calls).

Your attitude towards Complaint Agree Neutral Disagree
Confirmation code

IFB Digital — Refer Comp No 3175037

Please refer to the Complaint No: 3175037 dt 24th June 09.

I regret with total displeasure that unfortunately I bought a IFB washing machine. My Washing machine Digital Make is not working for last 16 days and till now this machine is not attended.What should I do, shall I proceed with Consumer Court.

I paid Rs.4000/- towards Drum about 4 Months back after the machine was down for over 25 days and also I paid an AMC of Rs.1888 from 4.5.09 to 3.5 10 & Reciept No: 14044 and since then this machine is giving consistent problem.

Your Service guys who ever have visited our home we felt that none of them are competent enough to attend the machine, nor they have any clue of how to resolve the problem.

My Washing machine had been giving the consisitent problem from the day the Drum was changed and its from then onwards this problem is occuring at regular interval, still the problem is going on.Till when ?????? Our machine is not a training m/c for your Service guys.

To my surprise when I called you local office they were very reluctant to give the Service Manager no, but somehow I got Mr Joseph Mampilly and when I spoke to him he was not even aware of this Complaint which was pending for last 12 days. Then he said he will revert the reason that the complaint is attended by Agency, which never happened.
Again I called Mr Joseph Mampilly on 6th Julu he again replied he will revert but never called back.
.
I still don"t understand how come a Service Manager is not aware of complaints which are pending for 16 days & above, dont you have any process of monitoring pending complaints.

How come an international repute firm like IFB is giving such a substandard Service to Customers.

We want the machine to be functioning by 10th July 09 and also we want the due compensation for the damages done else I will be constrained to intiate Legal proceedings & will publish our IFB experience to Media & Press

IFB Wasing Maschine 7 KG Digital — Service Representative not attending the complaint

I have purchased a 7 kg Digital Wasing Machine in Mumbai. The quality of the after sales service is very poor. I had registered a Ticket for a problem, the ticket number registered with IFB is 3323520. But even after 36 Hours of the ticket no one from the service side turned up to resolve the problem. However when contacted the Manager Mr. Ramesh he gave me an assuarance that the call will be resolved on the same day, the service representative will get upto you with in 1 hour however no one turned up. Every interaction with IFB is a poor and dissatifying experience in case of after sales service. So i would not recomment to go for an IFB Wasing machine as after paying a several thousand rupees you purchase headache for your ownself.

IFB Washing Machine ELENA — Poor response from Service Centre

I had registered a complaint of my washin machine almost 3 months back. Ticket no. 921 was given to me with the assurance that the mechanic shall visit my house soon. Unfortunately even after 3 months period there has not been any body who could see the machine. I registered a complaint on website and I was given a ticket no. 2591975 with an assuranc that the complaint shall be attended. It has been a month after that. On contacting the Local Service centre I was shocked to hear that the old comlaints records are not available due to shifting of the service centre. On 09.02.2009 a fresh complaint was registered with number 938 but till date no body has come to check the machine.
It is regretful that such a company has so poor after sale service.
Please do the needful immediately otherwise I shall have to approach consumer court.

IFB Washing Machine (Elena) — Poor Service

I have purchased this washing machine on 11/03/08. It stopped working around Nov 2008. Since then many phone calls have been made to the service person and the shop from where it was purchased but no action has been taken yet.

Would be really obliged if this machine could be repaired at the earliest.

ifb, elena — poor response on AMC

Dear Sirs,
I am in deep pains to say that IFB after sailing the product to consumer is least interested to provide services to the consumer. I have purchased IFB Elena washing machine and the AMC was done on 09.01.09 vide AMC NO. 178765. The machine developed some fault and the matter was reported to your service center on 20.05.09 the complaint number provide was 3048293. Since no one turn up to attend the fault the complaint was again lodged with service center and with your local office telephone no [protected], they further provided another number ie [protected], [protected] but despite so many reminders and request the matter is still pending. I shall be forced to go to Honorable court or Consumer forum for redressal of my complaint. This is the last notice to you if the complaint is not attended within 24 hours I will left with no option but to take necessary legal action against IFB

our washing machine is of
model no . ifb senator 6kg
due to some smoke problem it breaks down

IFB / Washing M/c — Smoke out of motor

Smoke came out of motor. Comlaint raised on 23rd March. Constantly following up with call center as well as franchises in Gurgaon. After various follow up, service people truned up last night and changed motor with another faulty motor and it was eye wash only. Mr Joshi's number ([protected]) is not reachable. Mr Jagat Chand's number ([protected])was going unaswered last evening but he picked it up at around 10pm.

we are suffering since last 8 days without any fix to the problem. Seems IFB is planning to go out of business soon if they contiune to provide such a poor service to customers.
