On 29.03.2016 a lady representative from IFB has called over phone([protected]) and listened the facts. After listening she assured me to send an engineer from IFB itself. After two days an engineer came to my residence and once again only from authorized service center at New Alipore. The ‘skilled’ engineer after being informed all past experiences o[censored]s, tried to switch on the Microwave and the fuse was not only got detached but also the display panel went off. The engineer simply plugged-off the Microwave and went out.
Once again, one engineer (Rehaman, Mob : [protected]) came from IFB on 2/4/2016. He, after inspection, told that two fuse, capacitor, diode and touch panel(Keypad) are to be replaced so that the Microwave would start functioning. But no need to change the magnatone (which was declared faulty by the earlier visiting engineer Mr Ranjan Pramanik) since it is working properly.
Now I would like to lay before the authority, that I logged complaint (ticket no.[protected]) that the Microwave stopped heating only. No other problem was there except heating problem before attended by the service engineers.
I was told over phone from IFB (officer-in-charge of service department probably) to pay for the damaged parts and also was told that damage could have been occurred while testing was carried on by the engineer. I deadly opposed saying that any test causing damage of spare parts should not be done at the cost of Customer. Thus, Company must replace all the spares that are deliberately damaged due to unskilled ability of the engineers while testing was carried on.
After a lot of arguments, IFB now decided to replace only fuse at their cost and all other spares(i.e. touch panel which was perfectly working, diode, capacitor etc) would have to be borne by me only.
In the light of the above stated facts, I would like to have full justice from IFB authority and further request to repair the Microwave at the earliest without affecting any extra cost towards customer.
IFB Industries customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
Today i have called the customer care twice, they said the complaint has been closed and requested to contact the technical team. Ramya or Mr.Gurumoorthy the head. Morning when i called mr Gurumoorthy at around 10.15, he said he will check and get back with the status of my complaint within half an hour. He dint turn up. I called back at 11, a lady picked the call this time stating he has gone out. She said a technician named prem will be attending and replacing the spare parts within today. I kept calling the same number several times. When i called at 5pm again the lady picked the call and said the person is stuck in a customer place and will close the issue today. Till now no calls nor no response. Never expected such an unethical behaviour from a senior person. Being given this number as the senior person and is to be contacted for escalation, the same customer support personal Ramya from the technical side is attending the call. Then why is it like the people share this number for escalation.
I would like to take the issue to the next level. Please help me out with the process of escalation.
The technical team did not even mind to call and inform about the delay.
We both are working professional and from the date of complaint registration have taken leave due this issue and stayed at home.
The worst experience i ever had.
the customer care should never route to MR. Gurumoorthy. He is a senior person and is no negligent. His negligent behaviour is unacceptable. If he is the point of escalation, and the same customer care personal attends his phone, where is the escalation process and how will the issue be resolved.
These people are very irresponsible.
Irritative IFB team.
Please help with the procedure to escalate at a higher level.
I am even ready to take legal action on this issue.
The service is not even worth it a rating 1
