I applied to tikona broadband unlimited prepaid plan for 2 months with consumer id [protected]. I already paid 2250/- as per the plan on 23 March for services till 22 May 2015.
Since the service provided was of poor quality, I raised many complaints. Almost daily, I had to call their engineer to fix the issue. And had to wait for hours to get it fixed. Tired from all this, I decided to disconnect it and made a request for disconnection and refund. On customer care, I was told that my request has been registered and someone from Tikona will call me.
When I received the call and told them I want to disconnect because of poor quality, the executive from Tikona said that they are working on improved quality and I need to wait for 8 days. After that I will not have any complaints.
I thought of giving it a chance but the problem persisted even after 10 days.
I was unable to access the login page, the connection was pathetic slow and it used to disconnected atleast 5 times in work hours.
However, I needed the connection till 22 May only, so I raised another request that since I am shifting to other place, I want to disconnect. This time I asked for a ticked id for my request. They never gave any request id. 5 times I received a call - "confirmation call" as they say, and all their executives talked about was:
1. Why do u want to disconnect?
2. Why don't u transfer it ur friend or relative
3. Why don't u keep the connection on hold till u shift here again
I convinced one executive, then they said ok we will disconnect, but again another executive will say the same and this went on 5 times but I finally got a ticket id.
Irritated by this, I also sent an email for disconnection.
Now, somebody from Tikona called someday and I missed the call.(as they say)
My connection was not disconnected till 25th May, so I called back. They said that they called for confirmation, since no one received, they closed the ticket and now I have to raise another request and it will take 15 days to disconnect. I was highly irritated as to why will I pay for extra 15 days. The girl on the other end said that since Tikona billing cycle is every 7th of the month, I can use it till 6th June in the same billing plan and I won't have to pay extra.
I logged in on 28th May to see if it is still working and browsed for about an hour.
After that I never used Tikona broadband.
Now, the trouble began. They started sending reminders that I have so and so due amount. One day it was 693 Rs, another day they sent remider for 1340 Rs and so on. I kept calling to ask for disconnection but they said that they won't disconnect untill all the dues are paid. And all this was happening when I took a prepaid plan! As per my understanding, as soon as validity and data limit for any prepaid plan exceeds, it should automatically discontinue.
Anywas, after telling them again and again that I raised request for disconnection since 6th May, their engineer came in mid June, after some arguements, collected the kit and gave us the receipt.
Now in their agreement, they mentioned that once the CPE is collected, it means full and final settlement is done. Going by that, I forgot about the ticket ids for my complaints and thought the matter is resolved.
But again on 12 Sept 2015, I received a call from a girl who says she is a lawyer from delhi court, and Tikona filed a complaint against me, and if I don't pay Rs 693 in another 30 mins, she will send a legal notice to me and I will have to appear in court. She called from 3 different no.s in next 2 hrs and talked very rudely.
Now why should I pay again? And what is this way to threaten to pay in next 30 mins. Are they asking for ransom?
Due to their poor service I hardly used the service in the two months that I paid for. And for the delay in disconnection from their end, why should I suffer both financially and mentally?
Any suggestions here?
