I purchased one LG KG 195 mobile from Hotspots, Sahara Mall on 3rd August 2008, with Hot Spot care pack, in the name of my daughter Sapna.
It started malfunctioning in November 2008 and was given for repair in the last week of November 2008 to Hotspots, Sahara Mall Gurgaon. They repaired the same and gave back to me. After some tme the same problem (malfunctioning) occurred in the mobile. It was not getting charged, ear phone was not working and key pad light was not working.
I submitted it again to Hotspots, Sahara Mall Gurgaon on 26th February 2009, for repair. On my frequent reminders, I received a call on 26th March 2009 (after one month) from Hotspots mobicare that they are not able to repair it. They told me to deposit the all accessories in Hot Spot Sahara mall and then after some time they will give me 50% cost of mobile. Message received from Hotspots mobicare is appended below:
I send a letter through speed post to LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. on 08.04.2009 along with photo copies of all the documents. Also send the scanned copy of letter and other documents to LG through e-mails ([protected]@lgindia.com). Lodged a complaint no.[protected] with LG web site on 21.04.2009 and no.[protected] dated 05.05.2009.
Till date I have not received any response from LG.

Dear Mr. Vikram,
Your handset is non-repairable which is declared by LG itself, as you are our Carepack customer so that we are providing you 50% credit note but if you want your handset back then kindly mail me from which outlet you are comfortable to collect your handset.
For any clarification feel free to revert.
Regards,

L.G Electronics — Cheating of coustomer by making false promise
I bought one LG LCD TV on Oct.25th from "VGP Ltd, Banerghatta Road, Bangalore." At the time of purchase I was told that as a part of the promotional scheme, I will get a free installation of BIG TV along with three month free subscription. Retailer told me that I'll get the connection within 10 days. But when I did not get it even after three weeks then I started doing followups with him, and he started giving some or the other reasons. Finally on Dec. 10th I got one scratch card from the retailer who told me contact the mentioned nos. and get my BIG TV installed. When I calledup at that number, I was told that the scheme has already expired on Nov.17th.When I took it up again with the retailer, he said I need to tale it up with the company as he is not a party in this scheme and gave me the mobile no. of LG electronics Marketing Manager (Mr. Abhishek - [protected]). Since then I have called up Mr. Abhishek several times but everytime his standard response was, 'he has communicated the matter to head office, and only they can take the final call'.
Finally I loggedup my complain on the company's web site (complaint No.:[protected], but there is no response from this company which claims to be a market leader in customer care. I just want to know, why government should not take necessary action against these companies which consistently cheat the consumer by making fake promises just to push their product in the market?
