[Resolved] Vodafone — Excessive Voicemail charges since April 2011 | |||
Vodafone has been charging me Re 21 per month since April 2011 against Voicemail services for which i never opted. Instead i cancelled Voicemail services in March 2011. I have my bills to submit as a proof and the Vodafone customer service Department is unable to find any request done by me to re activate Voicemail services. The company has been duping me with an excessive charge of Re 21 / month for the service which i had never opted for. When i tried reaching out to get a complaint filed, the Escalation Department disconnected my call twice in between. I spoke to Neeraj (CSR) on 7th June in the morning around 4 am and he confirmed me that i never requested the Voicemail service to be active. There is NO SUCH REQUEST from my side, then why am i being charged for it? He also asked me to call in the evening so i can be routed straight away to the escalation department, however, , at first the ESCALATION department dropped my call in between (Gaurav from Escalation) and later when i tried connecting via your so called Customer Service again, they have kept me on hold for more then 10 minutes now. I am still on HOLD while i am drafting this email. Honestly, the way your reps are disconnecting calls and running away from their so called job doesn’t sound convincing to opt for a corporate connection from you. Praveen Bhandari picked up from Escalation department after a long time and when i asked him when was the request made and who requested the voicemail to be active, he put me on hold abruptly, and then disconnected my call. if Vodafone is unable to settle the excessive charges being reversed asap, i would go ahead and sue them for duping me and make sure the company pays for the mental harassment they caused me. Was this information helpful? | |||
Complaint marked as Resolved
At first, the Vodafone team denied making any reversal of charges but when i lodged my complain all over here and complaint forums, they started talking
to me.
They said, they will only revert it for last 6 months as they do not have any data before that.
When i agai
n logged in my complaint, they called me up again another day and told me they are ready to revert all the excesive voicemail charges.

Its done, however, you already have a complaint registered via Ticket #. Not sure, how far would you track it as your Escalation department clearly stated they can't help me and can only reverse charges fo June'13.
Praveen said that i should have made a complain earlier to get it resolved, which looks like it was my fault that Vodafone has been charging me excessively against Voicemail for no reason and the customer should get all the heat.
I promise you one thing, i am determined to fight and sue you for all the pain that you are giving me if i don't find a resolution soon.
Even all your Nodel / Appelite depart is SILENT on my emails. Seems you tend to disregard all complains when it is your fault.
Also - Please define your defition of EARLIEST as this is a scary term used by your folks when putting customers on hold for hours and not returning or simple disconnecting their calls.

When ever you would want to call, pelase make a note that it should be after 3 pm in the afternoon.
Hey Vodafone,
It has been more then 3 days now and i didnt get to hear from anyone from Vodafone.
Moreover, to add further, i can't even get to speak to your customer service regarding my complaint. Have you blocked my options to speak to anyone?
if this is how it is, then i will make sure i will put you in an uncomfortable situation too my lodging a complaint against you legally.
