[Resolved]  Tikona — Wrong Biiling Still no disconnection confirmation

Address:Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh

Hi Sir, With due respect I want to highlight the dispute going on with Tikona BroadbandInternet company. I bought Tikona internet connection in August 2013. Subscriber ID: [protected] I paid original sum of 2950/- (plan 699/-) which included 3 months advance bill plus security deposit. I requested termination of my connection on 20th October 2013 as I had to leave the city urgently for family issues. When I called Tikona they were not ready to terminate the connection telling me that I should continue with Tikona, We'll give you best service etc. But on insisting they agreed to terminate the connection. Then I had no communication from Tikona and left Pune on 24th October. Then after a month and half some Tikona representative called me telling me that he came for collecting the device which I didn't sunmit. 1. How on earth can Tikona be so irresponsible that he called me for collecting the device after so much of time. Still I asked him to collect the device from where I used to stay. He did. He didn't call me again. From thereon I got no communication from anyone from Tikona or any representative. Then it is assumed that he got the device (probably he didn't submit the device in office and said he didn't find any) But few days back I got a bill of INR 1341/-, on inquiring about the bill they said this is for the device you didn't submit back. 2. Now, Tikona didn't ever talk about the security money I deposited initially and they sent me the demand notice mentioning a Chetan Sharma's number [protected]/[protected]. They asked me to call Chetan after making the payment. I wrote to Tikona about this twice but they didn't ever reply to my queries. My request number is: 1-[protected] I tried to call them a number of times but they did never respond. I did call Chetan and he suggested me to deposit it once and he'll send me the Withdrawal Letter immediately. From there on I can assume my connection is terminated. I sent him the proof for confirmation of payment within 5 minutes (attached here). After following him up for 24 hours he didn't sent me any. After 30 minutes of making the payment I got a call from court that a case came for registration against you for non payment of dues. All this happened even after the payment proof was sent out. and I am geeting suspecious call asking my debit card details that I am entitled to get a sum of 2091/- from Tikona. They will credit this amount into my account. I had to report all this to my back and block my card. Sir, this connection was registered on my wife's name. and we both work in private sector and cannot go to court whenever got a call. So I request you to please look into the matter. Please talk to irresponsible Tilona Management and help me get my security deposit and the amount 1341/- which I shouldn't have paid. I still didn't receive that withdrawal letter. I called Chetan again just now but still no receipt of withdrawal letter. I still have no proof of termination of connection, Tikona may send me another bill after few days. They are highly irresponsible. This guy Chetan Sharma (Cell: [protected]/[protected]) has stopped picking my number and I called him 1000s of times he picks only once or somebody else picks up. Then tells me he'll send me the letter within 15 minutes. I don't understand how much time it takes to send an email. And Tikona Management never contacted me but they keep on sending auto repleis that your query has been logged we'll get in touch with you shortly. and their all numbers listed on website are not getting connected when I call them. Please make a sincere effort to get my money back. This Tikona company should not be allowed to operate. just visit the consumercout.in (sample: https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8... d.bmk). Consumer court if filled up with the complaints against Tikona. Thanks, Jatin [protected]

Dear Jatin,

Greetings from Tikona.

Please be assured that your concern listed Mar 13, 2014 has been noted and our team is working on addressing the same.

Regards,
Tikona Care
Dear Tikona Team,

I have got many calls from your representatives, but still nobody could give me any satisfactory answer. At the End of it I just now received a call again and your representative told me that you tried to call me to for the device recovery but my number was not reachable.

But the irony of the matter is my registered number is still active and I received the call on other number (which is not working now). Please don't make these false claims based on your irresponsible representative and answer my questions which are emailed to you many days back.
AND PLEASE TRY TO REFUND THE AMOUNT I HAD TO PAY ONLY BECAUSE OF TIKONA's FAULTS. My Questions:

1. Tikona was informed well in advance that I am going to leave Pune in 4 days and told them to collect the device. But they didn't ever respond back even when they agreed to disconnect the connection. They called me after a month and half for collecting the Device even I had paid advance rent for 3 odd months. How can be Tikona so irresponsible!!! It was clearly Tikona's responsibility to collect the device in 4 days as they have a number of representatives in that area i used to stay.

2. When Tikona representative called me collect the device, He didn't call me ever again. Wasn't this his responsibility to let me know that he didn't find it?????? Though I believe he took away the device.

3. Why is Tikona unable to identify the guy who came for collecting the device?? How can you expect I'll remember your representative's name who came for collecting the device even though I left the city a month and half back??

4. Why couldn't Tikona respond to queries when I had written the mail twice for helping me out. I mentioned the service request ID 1-[protected] in the due time and whenever I tried to call all of your numbers listed o website, automated respondent told me that I'll get call back within 48 hours but never called me.

BUT I GOT CALLBACK ONLY AFTER TIKONA RECEIVED NOTICE FROM CONSUMER COURT.

5. Before getting the answer from Tikona to my request 1-[protected] I got call from a lawyer. and even after paying 1341/- lawyer didn't pick up phone to send me withdrawal letter and every time he picked up telling me he is sending the same in 5 minutes.

6. The lawyer Chetan Sharma never picked up when I called him. I called him 1000s of times in past 2 days but he picked only thrice promising me that he'll email me the withdrawal letter in 5 minutes. What are your lawyers for? To tell LIES to your customers every time they call him?????????

Please tell me who is responsible for creating all this mess. I clearly need the refund because even after informing you well in advance that I am going to leave the city in 4 days you couldn't act upon and let the mess be created. And this was when I had paid the advance rent of 3 months.

I understand that you have terminated my connection.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY I HAD TO PAY ONNY BECAUSE OF HIGHLY IRRESPNSIBLE TIKONA MANAGEMENT.

1. WHY DIDN'T YOU COLLECT THE DEVICE WHEN I INFORMED YOU THAT I'LL LEAVE CITY IN 4 DAYS. YOU CALLED MY AFTER A MONTH AND HALF. WHY SUCH BLUNDER?

2. WHY DIDN'T YOUR REPRESENTATIVE CALL ME WHEN HE DIDN'T GET THE DEVICE FROM WHERE I USED TO STAY IN PUNE?

3. HOW WAS TIKONA ABLE TO CALL ME THAT YOU REPRESENTATIVE CAME T COLLECT THE DEVICE, AND THEN COULDN'T CALL ME FOR NEXT 6 MONTHS CLAIMING THAT MY NUMBER WAS NOT REACHABLE??????

I TELL YOU TIKONA TEAM THAT I AM NOT GOING TO BEAR THE LOSS DUE TO YOUR IRRESPONSIBILITY. YOU NEED TO REFUND THE AMOUNT WHICH YOU MADE ME TO PAY ONLY BECAUSE OF YOUR BLUNDERS, AND YOUR REPRESENTATVITE TOLD THAT COUDN'T CONTACT ME AGAIN.

YOU CANNOT BELIEVE YOUR GUYS TIKONA. THEY CAN DO ANYTHING FOR MAKING MONEY. I TELL YOU HERE:
I REGISTERED THE REQUEST OF GETTING NEW CONNECTION ON MY NAME (JATIN, [protected]) BUT NOBODY RESPONDED. I REGISTERED THE REQUEST AGAIN. YOUR REPRESENTATIVE CAME FOR INSTALLATION BUT IN THE MEANTIME REQUEST ON MY NUMBER MIGHT HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO SOMEBODY ELSE. SO VINAYAK COUDLN'T COMPELETE THAT REQUEST.

HE GAVE ME FALSE REASONS AND I HAD TO TAKE A NEW CONNECTION ON MY WIFE'S NAME (PARUL).

TIKONA CAN DO ANYTHING FOR MAKING MONEY. EVEN YOUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE THEN HOW CAN YOU TRUST ON THEM THAT THEY DIDN'T RECOVER THE DEVICE. I AM TELLING YOU THESE ARE ALL LIES.

REFUND MY MONEY BACK AND SHOW SOME HUMAN QUALITIES.
Dear Mr. Bhutani,

You are not the only one who is getting harassed by Tikona. I think they have a policy to

extort money from consumers. Whosoever fall in their trap is stuck there for long.

I took Tikona connection on Jun 2013 and was with them till September 2013. Though the

speed of the connection was good and I was happy with their services but what I experienced

after the disconnection was beyond horrendous. I called them somewhere in end of September

and asked them to discontinue my account which they agreed to at that point in time.

However, they called me back in November asking for bill settlement, anyways I informed

them at that point in time that I am not a user anymore and please discontinue the

services. This time around I also sent an email to their customer care account and also to

their local area representative.

Even after doing all that I got a threatening call on 4th Dec saying that I have not yet

paid my bill and this matter is going to be sent to court. The caller apparently was an

advocate. They asked me to deposit Rs. 1, 445 (I don't know how they reached this number).

At this point I debated on whether I should deposit this money or not as I haven't used

their services during this period, however like a gentle citizen I didn't want to get into

any legal trouble for such a meager amount and hence I deposited the money. I tried calling

the so called "advocate" after depositing the money but to no avail. He wasn't available!

Matter was fine to this extent but lately I started getting a call from them to deposit

further Rs. 1, 500 as there is more bill pending. Now, the interesting point - this guy who

called me from number [protected] said that his name is Advocate D K Suri (please note that

he mentioned himself to you as Chetan Sharma) and that he is going to take legal action

against me. This time again I relented in the starting thinking that this is a meager

amount, I was going to deposit the amount but I though let me search for this number first

and I saw not only yours but multiple complaints from various consumers who were being

harassed by this number, have a look at one here - http://www.consumercourt.in/land-line-

phone/134335-tikonas-infamous-strategy-duping-customers-disreputable-service-thr...

action.html

I have all the proofs that I have asked them to discontinue my account and it's completely

irresponsible and unprofessional for them to ask money for the time period they didn't

provide any service. On the top of that they are threatening me!!

Till now, I was holding back to consult my lawyer uncle on this due to the amount of money

involved being small. But now, this is a question of ethics and standing for what is right.

So, Dear Tikona,

Please let me know how you are going to address my issue. I know you have enough resources

and frauds at your end to call and extort money from me but not this time. I know you can

see this complaint and I will wait for you to revert back to me before taking any legal

action. Just because a normal person don't want to get into legalities doesn't mean that he

can't stand for his principles and what is right!

For your reference my Tikona ID was: [protected]. I don't want to entertain any calls from

you as last 10 calls from you have been about extortion. So, please don't call me even

though you have my mobile number. But you can drop me an email on my email ID:

[protected]@gmail.com if you wish to communicate with me or we can discuss things here.

Also, I would kindly kindly request you to ask the person who is calling me from [protected]

whether his name is DK Suri or Chetan, whether he is an advocate or not to stop calling me.

You'll just agitate me further.

I will wait to hear a solution from your "estemeed" company on this.

Thanks!

Varun Gupta
