I happened to buy a samsung mobile (Galaxy note3) pricing @ 30, 000 in november 2015. It’s been hardly 6 months and my mobile has stopped working all of a sudden, when i went to the tolichowki samsung service centre and explained the problem, the executive examined the phone and asked me question like, was the phone exposed to water or was dropped from a height which might be the cause of the problem. I said no, as that was true.
I explained them that the problem started out of the blue and it was not because of any impact to the phone either by water or by dropping it. The executive them said, must be a software problem, should take a couple of hours to fix it and assured me a call back. Hours passed, there was no response, which was expected, so i gave a call myself and the agent there replies it’s not software problem, but the motherboard of the phone is crashed and it cannot be claimed under warranty as there was external damage to the phones rim (This damage was caused almost 5 months ago where i accidently dropped by phone to ground from a height of like 3 feet, it actually slipped from my pocket, since there was no back cover safeguarding the phone, the damage took place. It was a minor damage though to the external body and my phone just worked fine even after that) the store supervisor says that warranty cannot be claimed because of this damage. My point is, how would an external damage to the phone that to 5 months ago can lead to mother board crashing. The amount they offered me for repair was rupees 10, 200 to get a new mother board fixed, why would i spend 10k for a 30k phone when it is eligible for warranty. If that is how it works, then why does samsung offer such costly phones without proper support? Further, when i asked for explanation, the store supervisor rajender was so reckless and reluctant in hearing and answering to my question, it was such a bad experience i had for the cost of buying a samsung mobile. Who does protect the consumer rights in situations like this, i am hoping that this team would take proper action and get a feasible solution for my problem.
Further, when i expressed my dissatisfaction by telling him i will launch a complaint under consumer forum, he was like go do what you want to, i have handled hundreds of such complains and i am still here.
I regret to say that if this issue is not taken care, i would be forced to lodge a complaint in consumer court and also publish this is social media. I am an llb student and very well know how to take things legally.

Suman
