Tikona — Tikona employees threatening to pay unnecessary bill by stating themselves as ADVOCATE

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

Date of incident - 13th August 2015. I have sent couple of e-mails to Tikona customer care I did not get any response for any of those e-mails. So raised termination request of Tikona broadband connection by calling the toll free number. I have not used Tikona connection from 7th May 2015 and I paid the bill for 7th April to 6th May. Tikona support still used to call me and ask to pay bill for the cycle 7th May 2015 to 6th June 2015. That time I explained them that I already raised termination request so if still I need to pay I am ready to pay. They said like no need to pay now and I will get e-mail regarding final settlement. This happened several times they always used to tell no need to pay as internet usage is 0MB. On 13th August I got a call from Amita S ([protected]) at 5.00pm and she stated herself as advocate and spoke to me in an aggressive manner that I need to pay an amount of 1101.42 rupees by 6.00pm the same day or else she would file the case on behalf of Tikona against me and gave me some case number like - DLA972271.And she fired two options to me : a) either to pay the money and settle it asap b)or to face the consequence which she told would be that they would register the case in court and upon getting legal notice from the court I need to get to delhi asap with my lawyer and face the charges. After hearing all this I just got panicked and payed the amount asap. She said, she will provide me the NOC within 24hrs against the Transaction ID [protected]TPC[protected]. after a day when I didnt get the NOC I tried contacting them and they were just playing around with me cutting my call or may pick the call and wont respond for long time, so on.. I need JUSTICE!!!

Hi Team,

Already there are many online request numbers raised by me. No response from your customer care team. You guys cant even send a reply mail. ? For you kind reference the online request number which was generated last time for my mail is 1-[protected] .

I have asked many clarifications. Nothing has been explained yet.

Three major questions from my side:

1. Your team itself confirmed via system generated mail that as per my request the account has been terminated and the payable amount finally is Rs.152.23/-

2. Again your team is sending me bill for Rs.729 on July 29. For your kind information I guess I have raised a compliant that tikona internet is not working from May 26th. I have mailed your team on may 29th to resolve the issue. An engineer came to my home and said that its impossible to get the signal as they have constructed new building in front of my House. He took some pics and said that he will mail his team to look on the issue. As there was no reply after 5 days I mailed again on June 4th to terminate my tikona account. And as per the request and after my follow ups with tikona team, your tikona team terminated my account on 16th June. On 7th July I recieved mail for full and final settlement bill of Rs.152.23/- . I didnt see my mail that time. You guys have stated that i have to pay the bill of Rs.152.23 within 3 days. Again on July 29th I have recieved bill stating that my previous dues are 629 plus 100 rupees late payment fee. So a total of 729 I should pay. I asked you guys a valid explanation. I have not yet received any mails or calls for that.

3. You guys said that you have terminated my account on June 16th. I have not even received my bill for the month of June. In this case i got bill on July 29th. How this happened ? And in your tikona ebill for the date 26th May you guys have mentioned that the following.

Recurring Charge (From 26-May-2015 to 25-Jun-2015) : 700
Usage Charges: 0
Taxes: 86.52

Total: 786.52

So this is what i receive in my all month bills. This means I am paying beforehand for what i am going to use the following month.

So in this case my Internet did not work from 26th May and it was cancelled on 20th June. So why Should I get bill for Month of July including fine of Rs.100. For What I have used till 26th May I have paid you guys on 10th May.

4. Fourthly a guy is calling me and saying he is the advocate on august 11th 11:00 AM and he is saying me that that tikona has filed up a case against me that i have not payed outstanding bill amount of Rs.2800/- (This is truly a big lie, @tikona: do you guys know, that i have referred my frnds to use tikona as they are the best, and even i have paid all my bills correctly.) . And the guy is threatening me that in 1 hour my case will be coming in front of the Judge in Delhi, he asks me whether am going to fight against the case or withdraw the case. If I have to Withdraw he said i have to pay Rs.10, 000/- . He does not even listen to what i am saying. Tikona did not even reply me back to my mails when i asked expalantion to my bill. I did not even say them that I will not pay the bill. But, you guys threaten me that you have raised the case against me.

So please clarify me what should i Pay and how much should I pay. Whether I should pay Rs.152 or Rs.729/- Please reply me to this email. If You guys are not going to reply to this email, I am not going to pay you guys any amount and with the previous mails I am gonna file up a case that the company does not provide the details when the consumer is following up for the answer in Consumer Court.

Kindly do reply me via mail and via call. I need expalantion both ways. I even tried up calling your customer care numbers. Both the numbers are irresponsive. Is this the way you guys treat the customer.

Jithendran S

Hi Tikona care team,

As I already mentioned I paid the bill for the period 7th April to 6th May and asked Tikona to terminate the connection from 7th May, from the attached images you can see that I did not use Tikona services from 7th May 2015. But still Tikona support used to call me and ask to pay bill for the cycle 7th May 2015 to 6th June 2015. Finally they threatened me saying that they are going to file case against me and made me to pay unnecessarily an amount of Rs 1101.42 . This means I paid bill for the period which I did not use Tikona internet service. I see your latest reply mentioning no refund is applicable which is not correct. Could you please check on this again.

Soujanya.
