[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — fraud and threat through telephone

Address:455001

Hello sir
I am sharad sonawane from indian defence forces and s/o nirmala sonawane who was using the idea sim on number [protected] from last 10 yrs as a very loyal customer.
The post paid services on this number was asked to be switched to prepaid at idea office at dewas on dewas ujjain road at three different times however the staff did not entertain the request. Eventually the office rep was asked to terminate the connection however he again did not entertain the request. My mother has forcibly stopped using the said sim and paid all bills.
Now my mother has yesterday received a threat call asking for extortion of money through fraudulantly claimed bill. She was panicked by the caller who threatened for criminal case and asked for money against the fraud by the said idea office.
In view of the above, i request you to kindly investigate the matter through independent member at the lowest level and penalize the callers and staff at the idea office. Further kindly direct them to stop threatning senior citizen due to unprofessnalism and rude behavior towards aged customers suffering from ailment due to old age.
The matter is to be investigated on most urgent basis and resolved. Any further call will be taken seriously and reported to local police, consumer court, women and senior citizen cell and court for resolution againt fraud, unprofessionalism and illegal extortion of money through threat calls
Thank you

How can u come to such conclusions without enquiring the entire matter...kindly forward all the bill documents since last year and payment details
Further, kindly reply as
Why, I repeat Why multiple request of changeover to normal plan was not entertained by the store operator and idea company for three consecutive months...
U can see the request was made and not entertained or applied on your system. Further i kept on getting freqent calls asking for nit shifting the connection to prepaid...Until and Unless a complete report on mishandling the customer request, threatening through phone calls, extortion of money and anonymous calling by your operators posing as High court Lawyer by yr reps to common and senjor citizen is not fwd to me..NOT A SINGLE PENNY WOULD B PAID AS NOTHING IS DUE AGAINST US..INFACT I WOULD ASK FOR COMPENSATION OF THE ALREADY PAID AMOUNT...
Any further irresponsible reply by your company without investigating the facts of the matter would be taken up on social media and other foruns for JUSTICE...
Thank You
