I called mr bapu kamble and had a thorogh discussion regarding what went wrong in communication and eventually it was decided that we have to pay something about rs 400/- as the remaining due. He said he will start the correction process at his end meanwhile asked me to send a similar mail to tata team.

I replied to that mail from advocate.

Advocate, listen, listen

Dear sir,

There is a huge communication gap between tata team and us.

I have asked them to reverse the bill and let me know the same.

I have talked to mr bapu ji and sorted it out.

I am also marking this mail to tata team for their understanding too.

Regard,

I thought the matter is sorted and was waiting for the corrected bill from them but today i got a call from a lady, who was very rude, saying that they will write off rs 300 but i will have to pay rs 1323/-

I was shocked! And i wrote back to them.

To advocate, listen, listen

Dear tata team,

I had called mr bapu kamble and sorted things out.

Today we get a call from a lady ([protected]) talking so rudely and asking us to settle the account by paying 1323 rs!!

What is this?? This is beyond my understanding!!

I am aghast and shocked by the communication and commitment level of tata docomo professionals!

Pls do not confuse us with one the a day and different on another.

Provide us with solution.

Regards

I am still under shock by this unprofessional behaviour by a renowned company like tata!

I will request them to send me the corrected bill so that i can pay the same and stop harrassing me over it. Thank you.
