My customer ID is 549116.
My name is SUBHADRA SEN, and my address is 4RB-4/1 Purbachal, Salt Lake, KOLKATA 700097.
My telephone number is[protected].
The complaint is regarding my Washing machine (Senorita+)
I am on a TWO-YEAR Annual Maintenance contract.
I had registered two complaints, one on[protected]COMPLAINT No.[protected] the other on[protected]Complaint No.13280056
On[protected] the machine was visited by Rajib Jana who said the valve was to be changed. But since then your company has not sent anybody to fix it and the machine has been out o[censored]se for the last six days.
I and my husband are both very old people and we are feeling helpless with such negligence from your company. In fact your people say they can come only after 6 p.m, in spite of our request to come at 4 p.m. or earlier.
Mr. Dilip Jana said that "the office is too far from Salt Lake and they cannot come before 6 p.m. which is a very inconvenient time for us
I feel that your people are undermining the reputation of your company as being one of the best.
Requesting some remedial action, I remain,
Yours faithfully,
Subhadra Sen

Model: Senorita Aqua Sx-6kg / FRONT Door inner side screw joint break.
Its purchased just 15 days before. This is our second IFB machine and have the experience to handle past10yrs. Same has registered on 05th June and attend local service staff Mr. Boominathan, Tiruppur. After dismantling he ask Rs 1643 for the new door. I said its purchasing just 15 days before I cannot pay one rupee for this, He immediately went out of my home without saying anything. Then I call his manager and Coimbatore representative MR. Nanda Gopal on 7th June he said the cost will be 1043 if you pay I will fix immediately otherwise it will take minimum four days to get approval. They try to get extra money directly from customers. Finally, I registered call complaint and web complaint on 7th June. Still no response from that side.

I have purchased IFB Washing Machine 8 Kgs Front load SENATOR AQUA SX MODEL Bill No 116 dt[protected], s no 009989 Cost of Rs.35, 000/- at SRI LXMI VENATESWHWARA AGENCIES #7-27-12/3 Near Axis Bank, OPP First step Union Bank Road, T.Nagar, Rajahmundry AP Phone [protected] on[protected] I want to purchase Stand for washing machine the service centre man bring 6 Kgs stand instead of 8 kgs stand he was told the stand cost of Rs.1430/- in the month of April 2014 my sister had purchased the same stand for Rs.1300/- only . I have asked that person the price is increased in the month of June 2014 . Even though iam asking to bring the stand but he says that he won't bring still now. He also says that we can use the washing machine with out the stand. He didnot respond to the call when we call mobile No.[protected] Ganesh, and Incharge mobile No. Surya : [protected]. They are also suggested to purchase machine external Aqua Filters and Stebilizer for safety of the washing machine. I think that, they are more interested to sale the external parts for more commission. But they didnot sale original things of IFB company. So I request you to arrange IFB washing machine front load 8 KGs IFB Stand.

Vide my Compliant Number 11488864 Dt 14-Jun-2014 This is a chronicle of how a poor person is struggling to get his problem resolved, despite he entered into AMC and despite he made a minimum of 20 to 25 calls to the customer care and service centers. One bad day our IFB washing machine stopped pumping out water. We called the customer care number and filed a complaint. An engineer visited 2 days from the date of compliant and diagnosed that the problem is due to a faulty Pump and recommended that it should be changed. He gave the number of the Chennai Franchisee person, Mr.Kishore, to personally confirm this on our own words. Mr. Kishore promised to resolve the issue in the next 48 hours. We waited, patiently for 3 days, but nothing happened. On a lucky day, after our repeated attempt to reach him, we got the person on line. It should be noted we need to explain the problem, from the day one, to every possible people working in the service center, before reaching this gentleman. What a Stateless Layered Architecture! We feel very lucky on that day that he as a God accepted our penance and generously gave the number of the most powerful person. The Managing Director of customer service- Mr.Arun (His mobile number is [protected]). He picked up the call, as expected, after couple of attempts. He made a promise, as expected, for his quota as Director that the problem would be resolved in another 48 hours. We are all very happy that we talked to the Great God, the Managing Director. We waited, patiently for another 3 days. As usual nothing happened after 3 days. We announced an award in our home; Pizza for the person who reaches the managing director over his phone. He is still not picking the call. We poor people again contacted the Customer Care. For our surprise, we learnt that the Compliant Number has been closed. We learnt that if an engineer visits your home, if he solves the problem or not, the complaint will be flagged as closed. (What an Asynchronous Architecture without Response!!!). Then the person who attended the call disconnected during her attempt to allow me to talk to her superior. I made another call immediately (Full of energy). Another gentleman Mr.Mani picked up the call and transferred the call to Mr.Kumar, (the third person whom I talked today) from the customer escalation department. He told me to wait for another 48 hours. I begged him to help me to reach out to the right person to get a resolution to this problem. He advised me to register this case with [protected]@ifbglobal.com. I guess my marathon race continues successfully even after 4 weeks. Again I need to call another person from another Franchisee. Another Managing Director will come. He will make his promise… I thank the readers for their patience too. I request the readers of this narration to kindly help to solve this problem by showing the right channel. Does anyone know the head of Customer Care’s number? I pray God that he/she should be reliable person. Can I get help to deal this problem legally, in order to help the people of IFB to understand the value of commitment in the future?

Complaint No. 3711032 Name : S.Sangeetha, FF3 Aquarius Block, VGN Zodiac Ville Mugappair, Chennai[protected] IFB Model : Elite S.K.G For the above machine, the dealer it highly irresponsible in the past and I have approached consumer complaint and got it sorted out during last AMC. In current AMC also, the machine is break down for almost 11/2 months and dealer is confirming visit every day to my wife but not concluding. I cannot share the mental pressure she is going through and if I am not receiving any person with required items within 2 working days, I will file a case highlighting last year correspondence too. I do not understand why are asking your customers begging every time that too home makers in this competitive service industry. I will only blame the management of IFB looting public money

I had purchased front load washing machine EVA VX serial No.[protected] on 30.12.2013 from Vasanth & Co, Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli - 627 002. Now this washing machine is under repair. I had complained log to IFB, customer care in Tirunelveli District through Phone No.[protected] about repair of the washing machine. One person deputed from the customer care to inspect the washing machine. The person said to change the front door of washing machine. I had told several time through phone message for rectifying the defects. But IFB customer care not responded for my complaint till date. Hence I request that to give necessary instruction to IFB customer care center, Tirunelveli District for rectifying the defect immediately. This should be treated as very urgent. Failing which to rectifying the defect I have take legal proceedings against You...

I registerd a complain online at 24x7 help line number, and then got a call back from ifb and i reported him my complain orally on the spot as well as sent an email to [protected]@ifbglobal.com as follows but i hadnt received any reply from ifb till today. I feel cheated by ifb industries as well as their service center. My detailed complaint email sent to ifb is as follows.
Dear sir/madame
As per your telephonic instruction...

sir, i have registered a complaint around 11 days ago bearing complaint no.13163699 having mobile no.[protected]. My washing machine model no. is Elite SX 5.5kg Front loader. They visited probably a week ago desperate several reminders and said that some part probbably CPC is to be changed and it will take hardly 3 days to get it changed but now they are telling that that part is not available and even they don't know whwn that particular part will be available. Please Please Is there any solution to get it done. Our machine is covered under warrranty period. Assure of best of your services, M.R.Bhusan. EA-6, STAGE-1, LAXMISAGAR BDA COLONY BHUBANESWAR-751006.

we purchased front load washing machine 5.5 lt, which was making noice while spinning. your mechanic came late in the evening and said probably drum is out of order, next day he came and said he will bring both as both may beay be out of order. he has opened machine and it was found that only centre bearing was worn out. Now he is insisting that both be changed and he will take away old parts also as per company policy.
we wish toknow what is the policy of the company and we feel that we are being cheated for huge amount, by replacing the parts which are still ok and also taking away old drums and tub in the name of company policy.
we solicit immediate reply before he comes for replacement again

We had registered a complaint for Washing Machine IFB Senator 6Kg of Ref Customer ID No 119356 & AMC Customer Code 10642470 but from your end there is no reply. The service person visited three times and telling that Spares are not available. We doubt that we made a mistake by buying the IFB machine. The service is so poor. When we call they will tell today job will be done. What is this???? We are not satisfied the service from the IFB and the service centre. Please take immediate necessary action and do the needful. Warm Regards, K.P. Harilal Mob: [protected]

we've been trying to reach IFB custoemr care endless times and everytime the Customer CARe person says wait ofr a minute and keeps the call on hold for 15 mins and gives careless answers but so far no one visited the premises and corrected the issue. This is uttlerly disappointing as i purchased TWO washing machines not just one and to see this kind of service from a reputed comapny like IFB. It's been almost 3-5 days without washing the clothes and it's not easy to get someone else come and repair as it's under warranty. how low is the value they give for consumers is that, the person says he visited the premises and ther'es no power at the premises and left while in reality he never visited as my place is equipped with solar power as backup and on always. Please take action against this kind of behavior. Thanks Sai Praneeth.

Hi, IFB team agreed to replace the defect dishwasher in November 2013. Now they are NOT agreeing for that what to do? Following are the Complaint numbers: 10166861 9717250 9823274 9774716 9717250 9576394 9526925 9440014 9316111 9227707 9201290 9146995 8988658 8890442 8620712 [protected]/12/2011 9717250 3167519 [protected]/02/2013 [protected]/04/2013 Let me what to do? Can you believe from 2011 its have problem from the day of purchase. Two times they dont water ppm check but there was no problem with water. But they just like that blame on water and close the defect number. On November 2013 they agreed for the replacement but no response after that, why they agreed is I have bough KENT water purifier and used that water for the dishwasher, still the problem exist. White patch on the vessels but NOT inside the machine, Inside the machine it is fully clean and shine. Atleast just confirm you cannot resolve, because now they cannot blame water, coz KENT water is used for testing and take back the dishwasher. Dinesh +91 [protected] [protected]@gmail.com

Washing Machine (IFB Elite 5 Kg) had severe noise/vibration and 1 spring fell off from the machine. Complaint#13121363 was raised on 10th June and the technician turned up next day. Technician advised Damper and Water filter needed replacement and quoted Rs.3600 for replacing the same. Further he convinced me to go for AMC so that Damper could be replaced free of cost and Water filter @ Rs.1800. He collected Rs.4497 (AMC-Rs.2697 & Filter - Rs1800), gave the receipt and left the place providing an assurance he would come back in 2 days to replace both the parts. I did follow up with technician (Sunil - [protected]) and his manager Peter (+91 [protected]) during 11th June to 19th June which did not evoke any response. A follow up complaint (#[protected] was raised and I was asked to follow up with Mr.Vignesh (+91 [protected]). I have been talking to Vignesh for the last 5 days but the replacement of the parts are yet to happen. I have been given ONLY assurance with no outcome. This is the WORST customer experience I have seen. Not sure what is going to be the outcome of this message...
