Tikona — False billing and irrelevant mails

Address:Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

I have used Tikona services for over 1.5 yrs and I had to request them for change of address in the month of Feb,2012. I have waited for one month, no one showed up and I had to request them for disconnection in March,2012. In either the case, they didn't respond and even when I called them, they failed to sent an executive and provide me the sufficient information regarding this issue.
After six months their service person showed up and asked me for pending bill for which I haven't used their connection and even I requested him for disconnection. Then, he disconnected my connection, took his router and gave me the receipt. Shocking news is, he said my connection has been issued to another person in my area and they asked me the bill for that. When I refused, they realized that matter and changed the connection address to another person who is using now.
Now, after 1 yr. I am getting a mail from their legal dept. ([protected]@tikona.in) saying that I have to pay 2486/- with regard to their pending amount. When I spoke to that legal person and customer care executive, they are saying that I need to pay the money which ever they mentioned with out asking any questions. Even the worst news is, they DON'T have any records saying that I have requested for disconnection and they are rubbing the statement that my connection has been discontinued because of pending bills which wasn't.
How can I pay the bill for which I have not used any service?? I would like to see the documents what ever they got for writing such mails..!! also, I would like to request the tikona people to stop their bluffing to consumers and provide some good service. I hope I will get a favorable reply !!

Tikona — false billing and not transferring connection

[protected] is tikona customer id. I got transfered from mumbai to hyderabad and requested for transfer of connection.

Tikona customer care agreed to this and asked me to carry the equipment myself. I had raised a trasfer request on 04 june 2011.

My new address is hyderabad falls under the pin code 500062 for which tikona has agreed to install.

i gave 20 transfer request calls to tikona customer care and sent many emails with address proof to [protected]@tikona.in.


everytime they register a complaint and nobody turns up to install.

However they have accumulated bill since 04 june 2011 till date.

why should i pay for no usage because of tikona bad service in not transferring the connection???
