(iV) That 2nd bill not received, teleservices disconnected
Contacted customer care and got it restored vide complaint no. 72101129
Complaint :Bill not received resulting into disconnection of services, delay in payment, loss of opportunities and embarrassment for non-availability of services when it was inevitably needed.
(v) That 3rd bill received,
Date of payment : 29.05.2007 Rs. 534/-
(vi) That 4th & 5th bill were received with cumulative Amt Rs 1114/- and by this period there were disconnection, and difficulty in getting the services restored and very embarrassing kind of services since beginning. As a senior Management executive of a company heading HR & Admin dept. found the services very deficient, unprofessional and myself did not find time to bother about such services and so decided to discontinue with the service. Finally services were disconnected on 05.06.2007 by the service provider.
(vii) That on 29.11.2007 received a threatening call from mob. No.[protected]
attended by my wife, the caller misbehaved on phone and and instead a plea or a
gentle instruction for balance payment of Rs 1114/-, threatened to bring the
matter to court. And the very next day i.e on 30.11.2007 a pre-litigation Lok –
Adalat notice was delivered at my residence. As per the terms of notice, payment
were made on due date i.e. 08.12.2007 at City Civil & Session court, Bhadra,
Ahmedabad
Complaint: No sensitivity towards customer needs/ grievances and in place of customer care, complete disrespect was shown against the norms of civility/behaviour which was again very embarrassing, insulting and we had to deplore and regret such a degradable act/services.
(viii) That on 17.02.2008 a threatening call was received on my mobile for non submission of Telephone instrument where as while installing the services Mr Sanjay Patel of Shree Shubh tele had misrepresented the fact stating that Rs 1122/- includes
-3-
the cost of instrument and is non-returnable and data cable extra @ Rs 150/- for which receipt was not issued to me. On 18.02.2008 a notice has been served on me by A C Choksi, Advocate, Gujarat High Court on behalf of Tata Tele services asking to pay the cost of instrument @ Rs 8000/- plus charges for serving the notice @ Rs 1000/-.
Complaint: (i) Misled by misrepresenting the fact.
(ii) Receipt not issued for the amount collected and instrument issued. (iii) Caused humiliation and dishonour causing mental agony and unwanted
harassment for the services deficient in all counts from the service
provider whereas nothing was/is denied from customer in utmost of
good faith.
It is therefore prayed
(i) That Complainant may please be compensated to the tune as deemed fit by the Hon’ble District Forum for the deficiency of services, mental agony and harassment caused to him/her in the due course.
(iii) Cost of litigation may also be awarded suitably.

Tata Teleservices Pvt. Ltd. — Billing Issue
Hi, This is Nitin Manchanda from Swadhaar Finserve Pvt. Ltd.There is lot of dispute going on for Tata PRI Line account #[protected] since February 2010 till date regarding Payment Outstanding.
We have emailed the complaint to the Nodal Officer (complaint #[protected] in the month of June, 2010 and have got replies from them that they are working on the issue but we have not got any resolution till date. We also spoke with Mr. Harpal Singh Sahute for the same but he was unable to assist us. In July Mr. Shahid Shaikh (Account Manager) visited our office and since then he has been giving up false promises that they are looking into the issue and will give us the resolution soon. We have provided them emails which were sent to us by the Sales guy which is good enough proof for them to refund the money. With such a simple case they are unable to give us a resolution for the issue.
Your prompt action will be highly appreciated.
