Dear Sir
After coming a mail from Company CEO office, I had visited company services center on 04/12/2012 and meet Mr Sumeet and his Manager but they not shown the interest to resolve my problem, not understand what to do now.
I had purchased a Samsung Laptop vide Model No. NP305E4A-S02IN, Serial No. HSHE91RC200272 V, Invoice No. 000000MW[protected] dated 05/02/2012, Invoice Time 4:38:30 PM, Customer No. HO/CON/0000532, Sales Person Nitin - Madan from EFUTURO shipped from G1-G2, Dohil Chamber, 46, Nehru Place, New Delhi – 110019 {UNIQUE INFOWAYS PVT. LTD., 308, 3rd, floor, Skylark Building, 60, Nehru Place, New Delhi – 110019}.
After using this laptop for last eight months I am facing problems related to softwares which was not installed on this at the time of purchasing like:
(A) MS office 2010 was not installed.
(B) Anti Virus software was not installed
(C) Other softwares sometimes working, sometimes not.
(D) Mail attachment (word/excel files) sometimes open, sometimes not.
(E) Virus in Windows.
At the time of buying this Laptop I was told that all the Softwares were installed on this. Sales Person was not told/show me the full configuration of this laptop, no details, brochure, pamphlet was given at the time of purchasing. I had launch a complaint for the above said problems vide Complaint No. [protected] on dated 08/08/2012 in Samsung Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. Customer care, but no solution was given till date.
After launching the complaint, I had visited company Service Center at D-19/1, Okhla Industrial Area Phase I, New Delhi – 110019 on 14/08/12 and meet with Mr Vijay Hawalikar (National Manager) & Mr Sumit (Delhi Head) for the same. The solution was given to install the Old Versions of above said Softwares. Solution given by them was not accepted by me. I had purchased a New Laptop and paid for New Versions of Softwares “Why should I go for Old Versions of Softwares” which is not compatible to new one and my requirements. I had visited Company’s Corporate Office on 16/08/12 at Vipul Tower Square, 2nd / 3rd Floor, Tower C, Golf Course Road, Gurgaon and meet Mr Kumar Dev - DGM IT for the same problem. He is not interested to listen anything in this regard and refused me. I am shocked for the decision taken by him as a senior person of the company. So many people of the company (customer care department) had contacted me in this regard but my problem remains same till date. They openly says “we can not solve this issue you may go anywhere”.
I had forward/raised the issue in front of CEO of the company (Mr B D Park) so many times but no result till date. Every time after my communication to the CEO office Samsung Customer Care People had called and give assurance to solve the same but till date no solution was given. After harassing by them last two months, I have no other option to put the case in front of you and expect positive justification.
I had already conveyed to the Samsung people that my laptop is on high risk at this time, if hard disk was crashed then who is responsible for that? Are Samsung people will recovered all my data? Secondly, if data is crashed are Samsung company give me the Compensation?? But no reply comes on this till date.
I request you to kindly look into matter and give right decision on this issue as earliest.
Thanks & regards

Complaint marked as Resolved
1. Engineer came for inspection, asked for service charge in cash and refused to give me receipt, saying it is as per the policy.
2. He said mother board needs to be replaced, which will take some time. After 7 days, I was told spares are not available and I need to take depreciated value as compensation.
3. They offered me 49% of my product cost to which I protested that why should i shell out additional money from my pocket and buy a new TV just because you do not have spares available.
4. When I protested, they again offered me today (Dec 7, 2012) an option to repair.
It seems either there is some sort of a collusion on spares front or service centers are simply looking at easy way out. If repair was possible, why did they lie to me and why suddenly after I have put pressure on them, spares seem to have emerged from no where. This an utter malpractice where depreciated value and repair services are used as a bargaining chip by Samsung India team.
I have written atleast half a dozen mails to Senior Executives as well as CEOs office. I have also made several phone calls to the customer care. All i got in return was some call backs, asking about the problem every time and everyone saying the same thing "Let me talk to my senior and get back to you".
And it seems there is no coordination between the officials talking to me - yesterday (Dec 6, 2012) someone called and told me that i will get 51% of value of my product as per policy but they can increase the compensation as a customer satisfaction gesture. Today I git another call saying I will get only 49% and if that is not acceptable, we will think of repairing your product. This seems to be running in loop with customer suffering for no fault of his.
