RCOM - Relationship No.[protected]
I am in receipt of a on Sat, Mar 19, 2016 at 1:05 PM from one Shadaab Peerzade on behalf of RCOM. This communication (Legal Notice as he calls it) is dated March 10th, but was sent only today (March 19, 2016) to me. And the mail cslls upon me to pay Rs.1200 plus rupees or else legal action including civil and criminal action would be taken. I am put to great mental distress and anguish in receiving mail (previously I had received a call too on March 7 from his Office threatening 'legal action'. RCOM too has been sending me mails and calling me I have been explaining the position in writing and over phone, but to no avail. Now this 'legal notice'.
The position is explained in my mail dated Mar 8 2016 too RCOM and substantiate that no amount is payable by me. I have sent many reminders to RCOM but regret to say, there has been stony silence - not even an acknowledgement.

Yesterday evening at about 6.30 pm, I received a phone call from a lady from number [protected] saying in hindi to the effect that:
"I am calling from the Legal Dept for Reliance. There is a default by you of Rs.1200+. Please pay up or we would take legal action"
1. I told her that the records would certainly show that the services are discontinued from October 2015 and that no amounts are payable. But she went on and on...then she said she was calling from a Law Firm and that Reliance has referred the matter to them for "legal action". I asked her to let me know the firm's email address so that I could send clarifications and that if the Firm thinks it for, they could send the legal notice!
I do not know if it was threat but surely the tone was threatening.
I am reproducing certain emails exchanged in the matter of "dues". Let me know what you think of the behaviour of your "legal department" or the "law firm" - thereafter I would take up the matter with the seniors in Reliance
