Dear administrator,
My user id is [protected]. I received a demand notice from tikona on 07th june’16 asking me to pay for the month of december'15 plus equipment charges (Total inr[protected]+1500). Tikona's corporate office number is +[protected].
I have tried to disconnect the services since october'15. Every time i raised a request for disconnection, the executives say that the request is in process & then nothing happens & they close the request. I have raised 4 such requests till november'15. I lived in a rented apartment in pune & had to vacate in december'15 as i was going to france. I called tikona customer care asking them to have the equipment (Modem) collected as i will be leaving for france in december'15. But they took no such action and did not disconnect the services.
Now tikona has sent me a legal demand notice asking to pay for the month of december plus equipment charges or else they will file a case. Please find the letter below.

I kept asking them to disconnect my services for 2 months, paid bill till november'15 because they were delaying/not taking necessary actions. And now that i have left pune, tikona is trying to sue me because they could not collect their equipment on time when i repeatedly told them number of times.
I request you to help me out with this scenario. I want this to end peacefully but if required i am ready to file a case against tikona as well. I just need guidance to proceed.
Regards,
Diptajyoti banik.
