Hi sir/ madam,
I am writing this mail to register a complaint on the titan watch purchased at the dealer shop.
On 15th september, my uncle (Bakiyanathan) purchased a titan watch worth of rs. 5000 at a dealer shop [namath watch & co, rattan bazzar, chennai - 600 003].
Please find the below issues in the dealer shop & titan customer care:
1. During my purchase of the watch (1627yaa), we noticed that the watch has been stuck and not working. Immediately i asked the dealer shop manager, this watch has been stuck up and the dealer shop manager replied to me that there was a tag inside that why it was not working.. The dealer shop manager rectified and replied to me like.. Now the watch is working.
2. I have taken the watch after billing and just i came out of the dealer shop for a while again the watch got stucked. I got disappointed and again went to the dealer shop and told the same like "sir again your watch got stucked".. The dealer shop manager received the watch and investigated and replied that there was a small piece of tag inside that's why it was not working.. The dealer shop manager rectified and replied to me like.. Now the watch is working.
3. I said that while purchasing only, the watch is not working two times., better you replace the watch with a fresh piece. But the dealer shop refused to do that.. And i told that "sir i came from a long distance and i couldn't come again and again to your shop for any issues/ repairs."
4. Now the watch is working and i reached my home and again noticed, the watch is not working. I am really frustrated and disappointed.
5. On the next day morning (16th sep) i made a call to the dealer shop and told that "sir the watch is not working again that's why i told yesterday better you replace with a fresh piece." after hearing the words from me, the dealer shop manager replied casually like., "you can come and service it"
6. I have purchased this watch for my relative's marriage and i am totally disappointed that how can i gift this not working watch.?
7. I made a call to titan customer care[protected] and registered a complaint on the issue with the help of customer care executive mr. Faraz.
8. Ticket number: tkt[protected]
9. I explained everything to mr. Faraz and he told me that you can visit the nearby world of titan and you can replace the watch.
10. I told mr. Faraz that if you can check any shop nearby porur chennai, he told 'yes there is world of titan' you can go there with an invoice and tell the history and complaint they will replace you with a new piece.
11. Mr. Faraz has validated his system and told that the model is available at porur shop and you can visit there and get a new one.., when i asked the complaint number, he told he will text me and i have not received any text message regarding ticket number.
12. He has closed the ticket without my knowledge and the problem is not resolved.
13. On the same day evening i again made a call to customer care and now mr. Mohammed has attended and again i have explained the story and asked for the ticket number and he has given the same..
14. With the assistance/ guidance and directions given by the cc executive and visited the porur shop at chennai., i was shocked that the shop manager is telling us we have not yet opened the shop and we are in the process of renovation.
15. I came out of the shop and again made a call to c care and this time mr. Sayed attended the call and as usual i explained the same and he told sorry sir, the shop porur at chennai is not in the updated list of world of titan.
I was totally frustrated and disappointed that i have taken leave from my office and came to world of titan for replacement and they are telling the apologize for the wrong information provided and you can only service the watch and they wont replace your watch as you have purchased from a dealer shop. This you guys would have given this information on the first time when i am registering a complaint.
This was totally wrong information provided and with the believed words of customer care executive, i went to the shop.
16. Mr. Sayed asked me to visit the nearby shop from porur, chennai which is valasaravakkam chennai and asked to explain the history and if the showroom manager refused to accept., pls call me to the customer care..
17. I visited valasaravakkam showroom and as expected they refused to accept the watch for a replacement and they are ready to service as i explained the history.
18. Again, i called the customer care and this time mr. Deepak attended the call and asking about the information on the model number, and he has given the wrong address of dealer shop, it means that the ticket is not updated appropriately.
The major issue are as follows:
* dealer (Namath watch & co) has given a not properly working watch.
* customer care executive redirected me in a wrong way.
* each an every time, i need to explain the problem/ story and history to every customer care executive.
* customer care executive is asking some basic information again and again such as watch model number., as i have mentioned the model number while registering the ticket in the first call itself.
* ticket was not updated accordingly as per my discussion with customer care executive and it has been closed without my knowledge.
* i have returned the watch to the dealer shop and asked to return the money. He has accepted the same and written on the backside of the invoice bill like "amount will be transferred to the bank account given" note: i have given my bank details.
I kindly request you to take action on the dealer shop (Namath watch & co, rattan bazzar, chennai - 600 003) for providing me such a not properly working titan watch.
And i request you to advice your customer care executives not to give any false statements or improper guidance/ directions., as it may leads to un necessary frustration to customers.
I have been wasted my money, office leave, and man powers for visiting multiple world of titan show room and again to the dealer shop.
As you are mentioning that you are having 100 million satisfied customers in your warranty cards but i am not satisfied.. Right from my great grand father, we are using titan watches and still i am wearing the titan watch in my left hand while drafting this mail.. I am really proud to say that myself and family are the valuable customer to titan but this instance makes me disappointed and frustrated.
Kindly take it as high priority and severity and i need a proper resolution from your side.
