Hello,
I am a registered user of Reliance prepaid no [protected] from the last eight years which is used by my mom and she is facing lot of problems from last 6 months because of this number. Kindly note that my mother uses the phone only to make & receive calls as thats the only thing that she knows to do on a phone
This issue has started from ‘god knows when’ but we realized this around Nov’09 that the balance was getting deducted even without making any calls. At that time my mother spoke to the reliance webworld in pune where they educated her that the caller tune pack was active & need to deactivate the same... Even after doing the same the balance was still getting debited and when I called up your call centre a few days back.. the things that came to light were nothing less than appalling.
I Was told by the customer care exec that some useless packs are activated on this no named "BAKWAS PACK"(activated on 11th Oct’09) "HEALTH PACK"(15th Jan’10) AND "TALK TUNE"(11th Nov’09) thru auto dialer for which 1 executive told me that ‘auto dialer’ means the user has called on a specific no to activate the pack where as the other one told me that you’d have received a call from IVR & if the same is answered, the said service gets activated. As I mentioned earlier, the said no is being used by my mom who is least interested in such services and is unaware of any such service being in existence.. leave activating the same. On the contrary, she can hardly type in a few known numbers and make a call.. If the same is other way round where reliance calls their customer’s, then this is purely cheating on part of Reliance who trap unwary customers in their net.
If that is the case, this nothing less than cheating/fraud by reliance whereby activating such unnecessary services on unknowing customer who goes from pillar to post to rectify the doing of a fraudulent company. And in the event of the customer unable to trace the issue, all the money debited from customers account is pocketed fraudulently.
I want you to take the following actions on my account
1. Recredit the amount that was wrongly charged on my no... viz
a. Bakwas pack : Rs 30 x 5.5 months (till date) = approx Rs 150
b. Talktune pack :Rs 30 x 4.5 months (till date) = approx Rs 120
c. Health Pack : Rs 30 x 2.5 months (till date) = approx Rs 75
2. Deactivate all the active packs on my no
3. Put my no in DNC (Do not call) list for any of your promotional activities or events
Request your good self to look in to the matter and refund us the amount which has been wrongly debited.
