Videocon Industries Complaints & Reviews

Videocon DTH in their web site mention the charges for 3/6/12 months whereas when we recgarge for 3 motnhs / 12 months, the renewal is affected as 360 days (30 days * 12 months) instead of 365/366 days. Thus it give less credit to consumenrs. Ideally, if they mention for months, it should be 28/29/30/31 whichever is applicable at the relevent period.

to customer support executive. but they did not deactivated. after that i received message that my due date is 28th of march where i have recharged on 3rd March 2016 and date should be 2nd of april 2016. After calling to customer care, they told me that channel is not deactivated and they took my complaint (Complaint No[protected] for that channel they have deducted my amount and also without any notification they have changed my due date i.e. 28th March 2016.

When i ask them to refund my 5days amount they told me they cannot refund as the channel was activated they have charged for that.

I want to know why they are charging me for this channel which i already told them to deactivate. the mistake had done my their executive and not myself. Even I explain the same thing to them but they are not ready to understand. They are always giving a negative response for this query.

Please help me in this situation. I am unable to do anything as they are not ready to refund my amount which they have deducted also they are not ready to extend my period of 5 days which they have change tobefore 5 day of my recharge.

On providing power to the d2h box, it is not getting started. Red light is not turning to green. Even if it is started some times, program channel are remaining blank. I have contacted the local service boy of your company sri Satish at Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. initially sri Satish was responding saying that, now i am coming but he never he visited my quarter. And right now he is not even picking my call.

Hi,

I am a consumer of videocon d2h. My customer id no is 77943190 and my connection has been manipulated in the past for 2 to 3 times in the last 2 years. The below instances will highlight the issues i have faced:

1. My rtn (Registered telephone number) was changed from [protected] to [protected] (This is a delhi number as per the attached image).

2. D2h cinema and smart games add on pack was activated on my d2h account on july 22, 2015 with the consent & receipt of request form the changed registered telephone number [protected].

As per my conversation with the customer care of videocon d2h (E-mail chain attached) they have mentioned that my original rtn was [protected] at the time of installation dated october 04, 2012 which was changed to [protected] on july 22, 2015.

On august 22, 2015 i realised that d2h cinema add on pack was active for my connection as i accidentally visited the said channel and immediately i cancelled the subscription for d2h cinema. At the same time i changed my rtn back to [protected] as this is my number and not [protected].

On march 08, 2016 i realised that smart games add on pack was active for my connection when i was recharging my account (This was since july 22, 2015, when the rtn was changed from [protected] to [protected]) and immediately i cancelled the subscription for smart games.

I seek to receive refund for d2h cinema and smart games add on packs. Also the company should put stringent verification process in place such as otp before doing any said changes to the account or account information.

Thanks,
Jaishal gala

Hi team,
As you correctly mentioned my number [protected] was updated as registered mobile number at the time of installation dated october 04, 2012. I have not changed my number so why would i change the registration number.
Also to bring to your notice that your process of verifying the customer id, or satellite card number or serial number is faulty as anyone knowing a customer id of other user will be able to change the registered number at their convenience. Hence the fault is at your end that you changed my registered number.
Please improve the process by sending otp to the registered number or mail id for the account details to be changed.
Also i will have to raise a consumer complain if the matter is not solved.
Hence request you to please refund my money in the account at the earliest.
Thanks,
Jaishal gala

Hi,
Please do share the details you verify before doing the changes of the rtn. This is a serious goof-up at your end.

Can you please confirm my registration number when i joined the videocon d2h family back in 2012. How can you change the number with verification?

Can you please provide the details you verified as it's a pretty big goof-up from your end, as the mentioned number [protected] doesn't belong to me. Can you please send the voice recording of the same for me to verify how and who changed the number?

Hi team,
You should be aware that my registered number is [protected] and not [protected], hence d2h cinema and smart games add on pack was not activated by me on my d2h account on july 22, 2015. Request you to confirm the change of registration number change and look into the matter and give me refund for the same.
In the mean while i will place a consumer and police complain for the change of my registration number.
This would be not be accepted by me as [protected] is not my number and hence the request should not have been accepted by your end at the 1st place.

Customer id : 77943190

Feedback : with great displeasure i am writing this letter to you. I am a consumer of videocon d2h. My customer id no is 77943190 and my connection has been manipulated in the past for 2 to 3 times in the last 2 years. The below instances will highlight the issues i have faced. In 2014/2015 my id got activated with extra add-on for smart games and d2h cinema automatically. I got the d2h cinema deactivated, but i was not informed that the smart game add-on is still activated. I would like to get the details of the add-ons being activated from my end. Please provide the log details of the same for me to verify that i had asked for the add-on services. In the meanwhile while talking to your representative i learnt that my registered mobile number was automatically changed. Can you please provide the log details of the same as well with details about how and when it happened? Just to bring to your notice i have also replaced my set top box as the earlier box used to give error message smart card not inserted properly (E04-4). I think my account has been manipulated and i have not received the services as per expectations. I have recharged my account on 8th march, 2016 with the annual new diamond package where i should be receiving extra 30 days and the due date should be 8th april, 2017 instead of 25th march, 2017 which is currently being reflected on my account. Request you to kindly look into the issue at the earliest. A prompt and quick reply would be really appreciated. Please feel free to reach out to me on my hand phone +91 –[protected] if you have any queries with the issues mentioned above. Thanking you in anticipation. Jaishal gala.

I have complain twice but they are not ready to solve my problem. Complaint No[protected] I have the recording for the same. 1st time they said will solve this in 24 hours on 23rd Mar. But till date they are unable to solve my problem. They have wrongly deducted my 900 rs. Spoken to - Surmal Solanki, Supervisor - Virendra.
On 25th mar again i spoke to videocon and in between the conversation they disconnected the call.
Today on 28th March, Mr. Dilip the supervisor again disconnected the call. First he kept me on hold for twice and then suddenly he disconnected the call.

I am unable to understand why they are taking so long time.

No one is helping me, please help me consumer forum.

Dear,

Iam Syed Noor Mohammed your customer who have purchased a refrigerator bearing Model No: VCL314/300 Ltrs, 2 years back. Iam very disappointed with your company product because after purchasing with in a year refrigerator got a cooling problem then your technician change some part then after few month again i got the same problem then again i repaired it by paying amount to the technician. Now iam facing same problem from yesterday refrigerator is not getting cooling. Iam unable to understand what kind of products your company is manufacturing every year i need to repair this product.

I used LG refrigerator for 8 years not even single problem i got in 8 years but i made a big mistake by purchasing your product first time.

Iam going to write in each a every paper about your companies product failure this is the worst experience for me to use videocon and iam going to make a complaint in consumer forum also for this issue. Videocon company is cheating with the customers by manufacturing this kind of products.

In this summer season we are facing problem just because of your refrigerator iam very unhappy with your product.

Please change this refrigerator as iam getting same problem again and again there is no sense for using your product if it is giving same problem other wise iam going back to purchase LG product.

Please try to resolve this issue as early as possible waiting for your positive response

Dear Team,
As, I am using your service for the last 8 months and I am facing many problems from your side, my Card no. is"[protected]" in the name of Sumit Talwar.

After complaining so many times and even talk to the Supervisor the result is "ZERO". No one whether your supervisor or engineer are helpful to resolve the problem. As per your Supervisor it will be rectified within 02 hrs after talking to her (Ms.Mansi).I had made the call around 16:00hrs, but still till now no respone from your side. As, per her the engineer will call me, but till now no-one has approach me.

I have made complaint on 26th Mar'16, your engineer come to my home and rectified the problem, after he had left from my place within 5 mins the problem again come and its again show the same thing Single are not coming.

So, after again the call center again they the engineer will visit you to your house within 24 hours.So, this the ridiculous thing when I am complaining within 05 mins it should be rectified at the same moment, as your engineer is within the same area. But the no one have taken such steps, if this is your customer care service than I will give minus point to you.

If you are not able to provide us the service, than I will go for some one else (like TATA SKY or Airtel).

Regards
Sumit Talwar

I've subscribed for star sports package for a month.I don't need it anymore. Your agent is sayin that the package will be subscribed for 2 more months.I don't want this package for another 2 months. This package is unwanted for another 2 months so why would we give cash for that???????????

Product: Videocon Airconditioner (1 T Split)
Are of complaint: Installation services:
Location: Bangalore North (Yelahanka)
Delivery on March 19. Registered same day with Videocon Service Centre for installation. Received a call from them confirming that the installation will be done on March 21. Every day since, we have to call them to remind that nobody has shown up. No response for one week. Filed a complaint (number BAN[protected]) with Branch Manager Mr. Bhaskar. No response.

Hi All,

I recently upgraded from standard definition box to HD box from videocon d2h. As per the offer from videocon i should get all the HD channels free for 12 months with d2h cinema free for 2 months. i am not getting neither of these. I am getting only few HD channels. I have called several times customer care and send emails for these and they are telling some terms and conditions which i was not aware of before installing. As per them i am getting HD channels as per my base package. Which they are telling after installation. Now i am ready to upgrade my base package to get all HD channels for 12 months, customer care denied this as well. I want to return the HD box and don't want to continue the service still they are not returning the product. I am experiencing a very bad customer service experience in this case. This is my last complaint for the same. Below are my problems in brief as a customer now.

1. Customer service did not inform me clearly about all terms and conditions before HD box up-gradation and they are not accepting their mistake.
2. I want to upgrade the package to get all HD channels free from videocon d2h as an offer but this option also they are not accepting.
3. I want to return the product which was installed on[protected] and want to return my money paid during installation, this also they are not accepting.

As a customer i was not aware the terms and conditions which i came to know afterwards and no where in the website also these terms and conditions mentioned. How a customer will come to know these things if it is not clear from customer care and website?

Please do proper judgement on this in my case. Might be many customers are facing the same issue.

Thanks,
Pratyus

I am user from White House R.T.Nagar bangalore.
Many channels are not coming properly some for some time then stops.
Complaints to set it right, vidiocon asks me to pay Rs150/- service charges.
Having paid installation charges and paying regular channel charges is it not the companies responsibility to see that the channels subscribed are properly transmitted.

Growing concern over an unethical behavior to earn those extra revenue from a customer. A tendency is seen similar to VAS activations by mobile operators.

Instance 1.
After having opted for a plan change (from current to monthly 199 plan) which was confirmed by help desk could find later that it continues in the old plan and tried reaching call centre to understand what went wrong? typical reply was such request is not received. Later on requesting to have it changed their reply was since your balance is exhausted we cant do a plan change and you need to recharge for the same. I started recharging for only Rs50/100 post that instance with a thought of leaving this service and was planning to complaint on the experience. Post recharges also the plan change request is not seen processed. Till date it continues on the old plan.

Instance 2.
Since my parents often find the service interrupted since i keep recharging for minimal amount, off late of this nuisance this week i recharged for Rs300/- and to my surprise i could find my service is again interrupted now for the reason not even call centre is able to rectify. Now they have commented a technician need to visit the house and get the same rectified for which they will charge Rs170/-
This is a daylight robbery by the brand since no such instance occurred when i kept on continuing a minimal balance. Now even if i object for the payment they can deduct it from the balance i hold and also they keep deducting for the days of non operation as well.

With the service been offered a technical hitch cropped up _ should it be born by the customer??
Why would the complaint crop up only when my balance is sufficient enough for the brand to deduct??

This as a layman feels like being cheated and also breach of customer contract where in unethical practice is been followed by the company to earn extra bucks for their benefit.

Looking forward to a reply and how would the issue be addressed
