Videocon Industries Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Haqeeq Shaikh. I am a user of Videocon Sim card with the number of [protected] and every few months my balance is being surreptitiously deducted because of activation of schemes WITHOUT my explicit permission or written consent or a previous scheme is renewed, that too without consent.

I tried calling the customer care number a several dozen times and the executives inform me that I have activated the scheme which is an absolutely fallacious statement. I never sent an SMS for activation neither did I ever reply or pressed yes when disingenuously asked about activating schemes. My number is even registered with the National Do Not Call Registry (NDNC) and yet I'm being added to SMS shayaris or other schemes time and time again.

The executives say that they lack the power to revert the action and ask me to speak to their seniors and when I ask them to connect me with their seniors then they never (NOT once) connect me and often disconnect the phone when asked to talk to seniors.

I want this unscrupulous practice to be truncated and all the SMS schemes being reverted and my balance restored with immediate effect and to preclude any such further insidious schemes without my explicit permission or written consent.

Hoping for an alacritous response.

Dear Sir,

I had purchased Videocon Fridge-VAL233 IBH on 29th Jan 2011 from Fairdeal electronics Dwarka. Since the very first day the fridge dint seem to give cooling as it should have. However, we observed the same for one month. We lodged a complain in the month of March when the fridge broke down. Please find the series of events below:-

(a) March 2011 - Gas filling, entire fridge was opened and 3 engineers visited for 3 days. I was assured that the problem will not be repeated.
(b) second complain in April - NO COOLING - One engineer visited and kept arguing that cooling is happening. He asked me to keep the fridge away from the walls and without any action my complain was closed.
(c) May 2011- My fridge completely broke down and I lodged a complain again#DEL[protected].
This time I also contacted Mr. Rajindra Vij(Area Manager) to ensure best services. One engineer visited my house on Tuesday 24th May 2011 and refilled the gas again and advised us to use stabilizer for future.

On 25th May 2011 - My fridge stopped working again and started working after 2 hours. We kept observing the fridge for the whole night.
One 26th May 2011 - Morning - The fridge was smelling and venting hot gas, I asked the service engineer to visit again and requested him to replace my fridge. He kept arguing and then switched off his cell phone.

Please tell us how to proceed as every morning we are landing up wasting at 2 kg milk and food. We are working individuals and cannot afford to take this further, please let us know what should we do to replace our product.


Kind regards,
Aakriti Shankar

Dear Sir,
My self Rajesh Adhikari,I have one number of Videocon this is [protected] it is use last six month, now last week I have placed Compliance dt 15/04/2011 compliance id is[protected] name of person aazam saiyad but today I have called your customer care center to give status of our compliance id[protected] but he told me this is closed , but I have not recd. Any advantage regarding my issue and nobody explain my issue , and one thing videocon customer care is very poor, pls help me & look in to matter .

I had purchased the videocon tv ctu 8600qs in dec.2007. Along with that I paid rs.7000/- For "maano ya na maano" entitelement certificate (no. 136514) for free plasma tv after 2 years and 11 months.

After completion of this 2 years and 11 months period, videocon industries sent a letter at my home ,that plasma is outdated & they provided options to redeem my "maano ya na maano" entitelement certificate & some additional money I have to pay for LCD tv set.

As per sugessions from videocon industries I selected model vrl32fbm & paid money by DD no. 118567 of amount rs. 9500/- In the name of "videocon industries".

They issued the receipt(no. Mynm no.07254) against my submissons of entitelement certificate (no. 136514)& DD of rs.9500/- For model vrl32fbm on date 11/03/2011.

As per the reciept max delivery time is 30 days.

They Did not delivered the product in 30 days time.

So , after 30 days when I asked the officer(mr.Ritesh/Mobile:[protected]) at the company . They responded that they will deliver it after 1 week.
Even after 1 week they Did not delivered the product.
This type of follow-up I done continuesly for 5 weeks. & Most of the times company representative was not available in the office.
Also, He was not picking my phone.

After 6 weeks of follow-up they delivered the product .But they deliverd the wrong & low grade product.Means different low grade model of LCD.

As per my order it was vrl32fbm & they delivered vll32fbm, which has less contrast ratio & less features , Less Price than I had ordered.

So after wasting my lot of time they delivered the low grade model, this is straight away harrasment of consumer.

I Have Attached copy for your Reference & Proof.

hi

i have purchased a videocon ac before 3 years. it is a very bad experience of handling that videocon ac, i have not feel like air conditioned environment in the period, it can not even make environment even comfortable, a simple cooler can give satisfaction more than videocon ac i think that i have wasted my rs 24000 for purchasing that ac. i am bound to think that i have committed a mistake of buying this ac.

its totally a wastage of money.

i have suffered a lot from purchase of that videocon ac.

please resolve my problem.


thanks & regards

I am holding mobile connection [protected] and I have made first recharge of Rs.62/- , when I had checked today I got information that the balance is Rs.16/- , On enquiry I was able to findout that the on 15th, Videocon gave call and debited Rs.45/- towards caller tune. I have not used this phone since I have four more mobile in the house.In fact there is no need to activate coller tune. I understand that this is the way Videocon is generating money from customer.
I have requested to discountinue this service and credit the amount of coller tune in my account. provider customer care has refused the same though there was none of my fault.

cd 22 inch buy on 11.06.2010 at the name of ashish sharma when we contact to company vediocon on 9.5.2011 for lcd complaint they give us 24 hours till nw nobody comes to check the lcd at our place we alsoo contact her service center bt they will nt help us at technovision jaipur .

I bought a Videocon V1675 mobile phone on 12/04/2010 with IMEI No. [protected] from Planet M, Tollygunge Branch. After that I faced the first problem with my mobile during the month of June which was repaired. In the next few months I faced many problem and hence the company replaced my phone on 03/02/2011. Again I faced problem with the new phone on 29/04/2011 and I submitted the phone to Accel Frontline Services Limited, 220/1 A.J.C. Bose Road Kolkata on the same day. I requested Mr. Suman there to get my phone repaired as I have some urgency. But instead of my repeated requests to Mr.Manoj Kumar in the later days my phone is not repaired till date. Also I would like to put another point forward that Mr. Sujon from Videocon Kolkata office assured that he will take the matter with prime concern but till date no remedy has been served.
I am really frustrated, agitated and distressed with this product of Videocon. I never expected such a bad product from a company of such high repute. Also none of the people of Accel Frontline Services Limited, Kolkata as well as from Videocon Kolkata office has the minimum respect for the consumer.
I would request to resolve the issue.

Thanking You

Hi,

My Name is Sohan Rawat .i am retailer and my videocon demo number is [protected] . on 13 of april a recharge of Rs1234 is done wrongly instead of Rs97 on [protected] .then i called the customer care for returning the balance on my demo number i.e [protected] and after some time the balance of Rs1234 company takes back the balance from the customer number i.e [protected], but till date the balance is not returned on my number ([protected]).

i interacted one of Videocon customer care executive on 13 April and i raised a complain my complain no is[protected] and he gave me the date of 19 of April for the resolution of my complain i keep continually calling(called on 22, 24 26 of April) on videocon customer care and my last interaction was with samsher singh on 26 April but he talked to me very rudely i wanted to talk to the senior that time but he refuse to do so i think that it is not Videocon policy to annoy the customer .so please help me to getting out the problem i am looking forward for resolution from your side i shall be very thankful to you .

I have bought a 32 ' Videocon LCD TV and to my horror the TV started malfunctioning within one month of purchase.There is no after sales service and no spare available in the market or service center.The customer care register your complaint to extract some money in the name of visit.Do not ever buy videocon products , instead wait and buy reliable brands.

Dear Sir/Madam,

KIndly note that your two service engineer visited my residence around 4.30PM today for service of my AC in response to my service request No: GHA[protected].

Though the performed the service satisfactorily but to my surprise, one of them took out a sum of Rs. 500/- from my purse.
Actually I reached home just 30 minutes back when the duo arrived. After checking the AC they asked me for a plastic pipe, while I was changing my dress. By the time I could bring the pipe from the bathroom, one of them took out the amount from my purse.
I realized when they had left after the service. Hence this mail for you to initiate action in the matter. And warn them to amend their way,and send my mony back, othrwise i will take action against them

best regards

Dear Sir,

I wish to complaint against the Videocon GSM mobile service. They had miss guided in their teriff plan of "free talktime to local videocon numbers". They offered a recharge of Rs 59 where they said to provide unlimited free locals to videocon. It worked well for few months but without any intimation they changed their plan and I used to get 1000 local minutes to videocon numbers on recharging with Rs 59 recharge voucher. On complaining to their customer care, they say that they have intimated me through SMS which I never received. However this plan also worked well for few months, But again when I recharged my mobile with Rs 59 voucher on 29th April-11, I was shocked to see that the free minutes was reduced 25min only. On complaining I got the same reply that the have intimated through SMS on 24th April-11, But I have not received any such SMS, If I would have received their SMS, Why would I recharge then.

Please let me know how to deal with these kind of fraud mobile service providers
