Freecharge Payment Technologies / FreeCharge.in Complaints & Reviews

I recharged my mobile number [protected] (vodafone ) on around 7 pm today Nov 25, 2014, for Rs 50 with the Freecharge mobile app.
The transaction was completed at bank's end and so is the money debited from my account
But Nothing is showing in my transactions or the freecharge credits What happened to the transaction??
WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?
What is this ? Begging for money is better than this kind of fraud.

Please forward this complaint to the company as i don't think they will reply to my mail and so that they refund my money immediately as the money is clearly with the freecharge end.
Its not just about 50 Rs. Its about the integrity of all the transactions of any customer even if its for Re 10 only.
Beware people, a lot of transactions are not durable on this site, anything can happen with your money!

(The transaction details from my bank account are in the attachments below)

I will go at any level to ban this company if they don't solve this very issue.

This is to bring to your kind notice that I, Shaurya Khurana recharged my cousin's number [protected] (Airtel) with a full talktime of Rs 510 from your freecharge's app. I recharged it once but due to your server problem, the recharge went twice and as a result, Rs 1020 has been debited from my bank account.
Moreover, both the recharges went unsuccessful and the mobile number hasn't received the credit yet of Rs1020. Also, your site is not displaying any of the order details of both my recharges in the transaction history.
Kindly consider the matter and respond to my situation as soon as possible.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully,
Shaurya Khurana

I had tried to recharge my mobile for 126rs vodafone plan but it did not recharge instead the money was deposited in FC credit. I had put in the trouble ticket but till now as i am writing this i have not heard from them and it is more than 24 hrs. Here is what went wrong i to my understanding why recharge failed in mycase. I figured out by doing some research by myself. Few pointers for others as well but do it on your own risk it worked for me. 1) Check if the plan you are trying to recharge is still active in the Telcom service provider website. eg in my case it was 126 rs recharge which did reflect on the vodafone website but was not available for purchase. 2) To my understanding on this issue. If there is no plan to activate on telco provider website the failure on Freecharge is bound to happen since freecharge is send the request for plan which it is not active on telcos website leading to failure from telco saying no such plan to freecharge.In turn freecharge says us issue is on Telco service provider side where the issue is on there side. STOP THIS BLAME GAME. CUSTOMER IS NOT FOOL. 3) What freecharge does after failure message is received from telco provider that they deposit the money in there FC credits. Here is the catch that as customer we dont get reply quickly and we think the money is stuck with Freecharge which is actually the case as we dont know what to do get that money back. 4) The option left with us is either to wait for them to respond or do a fresh recharge Solution to this is go to your telco service provider website eg (vodafone tata reliance etc) Find the correct plan and value cross verified from telco website that the plan is active for purchase on their website. Which in my case i did. I found another plan and used the existing FC credit & the balance amount to recharge. Reclaiming the total amount kept in the FC credit. So my money is now used completely 0% loss. Now there is no my money stuck with freecharge as i used the FC credits+Balance amount to recharge for new plan. But lot of headache to identify this small lapse from Freecharge. So the learning here is check the plan validity don't just blindly do the recharge by selecting from there menu as there menu is not up to date as i learned today. I guess it is the same issue with most of the other players too.This failure is specific to no plan availability there are other types of tech issues as well. The solution provided is for plan based issues like i mentioned above. And i swear for sure not to recharge with any of these 3rd party recharging website since they play with customer trust. Not informing them in real what is happening at the backend. There services are not up to mark since these serious lapses are there in product design. Leading to bad customer experience. To improve they need to be real time in linking there menu details regards to Telco plans which is not the case i guess right now. Anyways be safe than sorry recharge from telco website directly to avoid such issues. Simple as that. Whatever i have written did work for me rest lies on to you. You are the best judge for your situation. Advice to FREECHARGE dont play with customer trust. We trust hence you are getting business.Try to maintain the business ethic and standard of operation than just ignoring customer support.

I had tried at-least 20 times and today in the morning 2 times to recharge it but every-time it came out as unsuccessful; how much time I am supposed to waste on recharging and using my FC Credits, which is my hard-earned money.

I don't understand why the first problem is still unanswered and the second one is being responded to. Anyways, here it goes. I have tried at least 20 times in the entire day to refill my vodafone number with an amount of Rs 127. Though the money was deducted from my Credit Card the very first time but still now I haven't been able to made a successful recharge, which is a shame. I tried for a similar amount on my Paytm account and I was successful on the first attempt itself. Now you guys have taken my money and kept in your so called FC credits, which really pisses me off. Have you at any point of time during the recharge process mentioned that the money you take would never be reverted back to an individual account even if the transaction fails for the 20 th time. What an unique way of conducting business; isnt it?

My transaction ID are FCVA[protected] and FCVA[protected], I haven't received the recharge yet, this company is a fraud. The money gets deducted from your account, but there is no sign of any recharge. The consumer court should take some serious action and put a ban on them. I am not the only one who is facing this problem, there are hundreds of other people who have used their services. They follow a process, deduct money from your account, never recharge your phone/dth, never give you the refund. Please, see to this matter as soon as possible.
