I have enough follow up with them for last one month.They don't even remember the customer who is writing an email to the service.

Just study hard and respect elder and parents. One day you will be rewarded. Don't pay anything to this fraud person. Just expense the same in order to buy original software. Because, if you buy original software then company will earn revenue and in the process they will recruit 2 more and it may be you. Numerous time I have cheated by this type of frauder. They have cheated me in the name of the company like Cognizent,TCS,Infosys, Capgemini, MRF, Maruti,SKODA and also Mahindra. They only target those student who have avaerage marks. Just remember it's take a month to earn and it takes a second to expendit. So, don't waste your time. Just study hard. Believe me you will get a good job one day.

I have purchased a Videocon mobile model No: V-1305 on 6-7-2010 from Saravana Stores, T.Nagar, Chennai. Despite its very less usage, it got a motherboard related issue in the month of November 2010. I submitted the same to an autherised service center of Videcon, RT Outsourcing on 30-Nov-2010. Nearly three months they did not returned my handset rectified. I have sent so many mails and called so many times directly to their customercare, but no use. The service center (RT) was forcing me from the second week onwards, when ever I enquire about the status, to talk to the customercare because they also did not get any reply from the department concerned. So many '72 hrs deadline' was promised by their custmercare people with an assured call back, but nothing happened till date. Mentioning the same, I have sent a mail to their Nodal officer on 24-Feb-2011 as a threaded email with all the previous mail attached to it. On[protected], I got his reply, rediculously asking me to contact the customercare. I have last three recordings of the conversations with them. Now my demand is 'they must replace me with a new handset, because it won't be a near to compensation to my pain and strain suffered. I have given enough time to them, and it seems, they just respond when we call, and forget about our complaint the next moment. They never have any parts to rectify any problem (their usual excuse for delay). What shall I do further in this regard? Please help

I had bought Videocon’s IGBT Sine Wave Inverter model Eco tech 850 with 30 months waranty with their battery 150 AH on[protected]. After being repaired and replaced 5 times in 7 months the Inverter has again stopped working. After an intervention from a consumer forum last time, the battery was replaced with the assurance that in case of any more problems the set will be taken back and money will be reimbursed. By now I have contacted all of their senior officials. The same indifference is being displayed again, despite 10 days passage, no response has been given.

How many times can one Inverter be replaced? In January Mr Anuj, an authorized engineer had replaced the battery saying it had a manufacturing defect. The continuous breakdowns however prove that the product is completely defective and not usable. In such a scenario, I am requesting you to kindly intervene on my behalf and get me my hard earned money back from a callous and careless company with no after sales service and defective products.

ATTENTION.

Dear Sir,

Sub - Refund of my Prepaid Balance.


In reference to the above subject I (Pranav Bhatt) have a small complaint regarding our services.
I do receive flash messages from your side for different offers and packs and in all messages you have only one option to activate that ok button.
when phone is idle and i press my left selection key your packs automatically get activated and i am charged for that.
Today this is 2nd time ( 1st it was valentine love pack which was accidently got activated on my phone no. [protected]) when i pressed left key i got a message thank you for activating cricket pack and again you have deducted my a/c balance. Now and when I called up your people on 121 he transferred my line to another dept. and as usual after transferring the line nobody picks up the call.
Now I request you to deactivate the cricket pack and refund the amount and kindly stop your flash messages because I don't need any VAS pack.

Looking towards yours positive reply and support.

Service id[protected], 42479078, 42221672

You can get the details of the complain from these above complain id. Also I am giving the details.

A service called Love Express is activated automatically around 20 days back and some amount was deducted from my prepaid account. I never activated this, it was activated automatically by Videocon only. I called to customer care immediately for this and nothing is happened, Then I called your nodal office, here also nothing is happened, last I called to appellate officer and the person name is Asmita Borse on 16th of Feb. She told me issue will be resolved within 2 days but till now nothing is happened. Again I called on 21th Feb and your appellate officer (Asmita Borse) told it may be resolved within 48 hours. In between this that LOVE Express service is renewed and again some amount is deducted. Till now nothing is resolved.

I asked for the immediate deactivation of this service as well as refund for this unauthorized deduction. Its already renewed 2nd time and its not yet deactivated. And within next two day again it will be renewed if you unable to stop this services.

Also your appellate officer (Asmita Borse) is not able to give any replay on this, only she is repeating this one sentence- Complain has been forwarded to back-end department and she can not do anything now. Even she disconnecting the call by telling this line only.

videocon against unwanted dedected my account Rs.60.

With reference to my Videocon CDMA Mobile -V1425 EMI no. [protected], date of purchase[protected], this is to note that the same was not working properly and was submitted at their service centre M/s Taipan Electronics, 12, Prashant Sadan, Eksar Road, Bhabai Naka, Borivali west, Mumbai on Jan 11, 2011 ( Call ID: TE-1-VG[protected]DW) but the same was returned back to me on Jan 27, 2011 without repairs. The reason given for the same was that their service centre is cancelled by Videocon and advised me to visit another centre at Mira Road. When I visited their service centre located at Mira Road, I got surprised to note when they told me that my mobile has gone out of warranty as the earlier service centre has used some liquid which is sub-standard and not allowed to use by Videocon.
It’s very disgusting that their service centre is using something which is not allowed by them. How is it customer’s responsibility to check the same? I gave my mobile at their authorised service centre and not aware and even not concerned that what process they use.
I tried to contact Videocon Customer Care by various means, every time they assured that they would look into the matter but no action taken by them in last one month.

i am kashish from rishi ngr,ludhiana.i am facing huge network probem from vidocon. there is very low signal of videocon at rishi ngr... and rishi ngr is very developed and popular place in ludhiana... 3-4 months before, i had submit the network complaint at videocon customer care .... and they told me that YOUR PROBLEM WILL DEFINATELY SOLVED WITH IN 20 DAYS............but even after 3months,my network problem is not solve.plzzz do something......

I had brought Videocon Fully Automatic Top Loading washing machine on 25/12/2009 from Greater Noida which is under warranty. Now on 3rd Feb there was a problem with machine, which was reported to there customer support department (Complaint No. GHA[protected]). Engineer Pramod visited our place on same day i.e 3rd February 2011 at 6:00 pm and told us that machine needs to be taken to workshop for repair for which company will send a tempo. On 5th February Saturday the machine was picked up by HI-TECH SERVICES AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE for Videocon B-14, Sector-64, Noida No.[protected],[protected], [protected]. The person gave us a slip and took the machine.
After this the company had closed the complaint from there end with a remark that the person did not responded to our call. After 5 days on 10th February we called up to know the status of the machine and we were given another new as they didn't knew how the complaint got closed after picking up the machine (complaint no. GHA[protected]) but the machine is still pending.
We are calling them on daily basis to know when the machine will be returned back but the nos. they are giving either nobody responds on those nos. or they are unavailable and all mobiles have been switched off.
The consumer service toll free no.[protected] is the only no. which responds where they are not able to give the information and only thing they say is we have put your call on top priority someone will contact you soon but again there is no respond.
Kindly help us to get the thing sorted out as it has already been 13 days when the machine is missing.

Thanks & Regards

I had purchased a Videocon D-240 refrigerator on the 23 Nov-2008( Bill attached). This refrigerator was installed in Jan 2009. Since it's installation it has encountered multiple failures of different nature within the warranty period . In one of the job cards dated 22/08/2009 ( Scanned copy attached) I had made an observation that the refigerator has encountered trouble four times in the last six months and within the warranty period which compels me to loos faith over the product and had requested Videocon to either change the fridge or extend the warranty. But this fell on deaf ears and no action was taken. The fridge again created trouble in Jan 2010 and an engineer visited me. Even then I had written to Videocon about the faulty and erratic nature of the product but to no avail. The fridge has again encounterd trouble and I lodged a complaint again complaint no. GHA[protected] dtd 30-jan-2011 the engineer visited and identified that the gas needs recharging. Refer the attached Job card dated 22/08/2009 the gas was recharged within the warranty period and I am surprised that fridge needs anual gas recharging.. I am appalled by the attitude of Videocon that despite writing so many emails to them and phone calls they respond in their usual manner and no senior level executive has talked to me or tried to understand my trouble. Please hel in this Regards. I will be grateful.

Faulty Hand Set
Dear Sir/Madam,
I purchased a VIDEOCON Handset model No. V1425 in the month of August 2010 its a dual sim mobile.

In the month of december onwards there is frequent problem of Key Paid Not Working And Charging problem...

I had given for servicing to the authorized service centre namely ACCEL FRONTLINE services twice during the month of december, infact literally it was in the service centre for the whole month but could not get any permenant solution till date.

I have also made a complaint to the VIDEOCON CUSTOMER CARE in the Last 2 month stating the problems i have been facing due to the faulty hand set. They adviced me to report to the same authorized dealer once more but that too i found of no use.

I would like to request you please do the needful to change the handset and take some stern action to provide me the justice.

If required details of all relevant documents will be provided.

Waiting for ur quick reply.

Thanking you,

Mr.R.A.ABBASI

I have purchased a Videocon 34″ Jumbo TVs on 13/12/2007 from a Dealer of Video con Company M/s NEXT RETAIL SHOP on 13/12/2007. Under Scheme “Mano Ya Na Mano”. In which Video con Guarantees & Promise us on purchase on each JUMBO TV give us Bond that after completion of 2 years & 11 month from purchase Date Company gives Free 32″ Plasma LCD from date of purchase on each JUMBO 34″ TVs. Dealer have Charged Total Rs 19990/-for each set. In which
Rs.12990/- for TVs Cost & Rs 7000/- Security against Bond issued in lieu of Plasma 32″ LCD.
Now after Completion of 2 years & 11 month from date of
