I just went through my bill for the month of July 2010 and found a couple of extra charges in my bill today i.e. 21st Aug 2010. I called up the vodafone care to clarify the same. Initially, I had a talk wid Mr. Avinesh Kumar who misbehaved me on call and said that what if the charges been mentioned extra and used the slangs like "kya ho gaya Rs.10 hi to hain, aap itna nahi pay kar sakte" and then when asked for all the issues, he shouted at me and said that i need to pay it. I asked him to give d call to a senior person bt he said tht lines are busy and i will get a call back.
Not satisfied with his talks and misbehaviour, I called vodafone care again and had a talk with Mr. Sandeep Kumar. When explained the whole case to him, he said that i need to pay the extra charges and these will be reversed next month. My problem is then why shall i pay extra this month and I cant trust this guy from Vodafone like this?? He gave me the complaint request No. as [protected]. and finally we came to a conclusion that i will not pay those extra charges, which were actually Rs. 30+ Rs.10.48 + Rs. 100, from this bill and he will mention the same there in the complaint.
After an hour or so, i got a call from Mr. Sumit from [protected] on behalf of Vodafone and he said that i need to pay the full amount watever be the case and also threatened me that they will otherwise discontinue the services on my number. Also, when the late payment charge issue was discussed with him, he said that it is the responsibility of the customer to take care that the cheque is being picked up from the Vodafone care center by the Vodafone employee. I am unable to get this said part and how can it be fault that the cheque was not picked from the vodafone drop box by there pickup boy. I have dropped the cheque on 23rd July as my bill due date everymonth is 24th. But according to him, its my fault for the late charges. This is however no-where mentioned in the company's website, bill or any other place that we need to deposit the bill 48 hrs earlier to due date. Also, I have another 5 connections of vodafone and i am following the same procedure of depositing the bill from past more than 6yrs. When I asked Mr. Sumit to repeat the same and I will record it as evidence, he disconnected the call.
My July bill extra charges are as:
Rs.10.48 - they say its coz i changed my plan
Rs. 30 - even wen discontinued a 30 sms pack and opted for 125 sms pack, the 30sms pack continued n i need to pay for it
And, Rs. 100 - late payment charges even if i deposited the chq 1 day in advance from the due date.
Now to be surprised is that they agreed to reverse these charges in the next bill (GOD knows that this is an actual or fake promise)
Please help me in the same regards asap as I am not at all willing to pay these charges due to their threating calls and discontinuity of my 8 years old vodafone connection.
Is this how these telecom companies are getting richer and there is no responsible person to help the suffering customers.

Vodafone — Misleading and Forcing for unjustified things
To whom it may concernDear Sir/Madam,
I am the user of Vodafone Mobile connection.
A very strange and unexpecditable experience gained from VODAFONE. Hereby I am shareing the same
Dated: 11th Feb 2012.
I went to one of the Vodafone Store( Near at Minto Park) on last saturday Dated: 11/02/2012 to please convert my number from Post Paid to Pre Paid. My token number was 77 and the Executive with whom I talked his name is Mr. Ravindra and he took the request and provided me a SR No: [protected] and said that within 48 hrs a call will come from Help Desk and accrodingly it will be processed to Prepaid where the number will be out of Service for approx 4 hrs. For reference please find the attached Token Slip.
Dated: 13th Feb 2012.
A call received from Helpdesk around 6.10 PM in the evening to know the reason for which I wanna to convert my number from Post Paid to Prepaid. Described the vaild reason for the same and accordingly the Executive suggested me to visit that very Vodafone Store by 16th of Feb 2012.
Dated: 16th Feb 2012
Today I went again to the same Vodafone Store at 2.30 PM and I have been given a Token no of 46 For reference please find the attached Token Slip.
When my turn came I went to the counter and met a new Executive name Mr. Sampad. He took the said SR No [protected]. After seeing the same over system he got slight confused and called his collegue Mr. Ravindra because as he attended me last time. They both have given me a STATEMENT- We are extremly sorry Sir we wont able to upgrade the same for next 7 days as some policies got changed and some upgradation work is going on. I asked them could you please define me what Policies got change for which you people are unable to convert the same. Answer received: Sorry Sir we wont able to define the same as its CONFIDENTIAL. I understood that they are just trying to make me stop some how for the convertion of number from Post Paid to Pre Paid. I requested them can I talk with the Store Supervisior or Store Manager for the same. After repeted request and argument a person came by giving the Introduction that he is the Store Manager name- Mr. Krishanu. ( I am quite confident that he is not the Store Manager).
This guy started speaking himself without knowing and understanding my query that we wont able to convert the same right now as some of the policies got changed and few of the upgradation work is going on and it will take more 7 days and specially in a very agreesive way. I have requested that guy not be so agressive and first listen my query. Again after the repeted request he said pl say. Then I kept my query which is mentioned below:
If there is some changes or upgradation work is going on in Vodafone for next 7 days then who is going to bear the Rental Charges ??
As I have asked from Help Desk to visit the Vodafone Store by 16th Feb for the conversion of number from Post Paid to Prepaid because 15th is my billing cycle and if I go and make the convertion by 16th by paying all the Outstanding amount it will be converted in to Pre Paid.
As per the Vodafone Store Executives I need to pay or else if I dont want to pay either I need to keep my number in SWITCHED OFF mode or they can help me by DISCONNECTING THE NUMBER until the upgradation work gets complete........
May I know did I availed the Vodafone Subscription for keeping my number OFF or to keep in a Disconnect Mode????????
Is it a Customers problem or fault where he needs to pay the unjustified amount ??
Is it a customers problem or fault to wait for more 7 days if any upogradation work is going on??
Why there is such sort of ROUGH BEHAVIOUR at your Store??
There is a very simple and the easiest process to convert Prepaid to Post Paid but why there is so much Lenghty and misguided policies or process to convert the Post Paid number to Pre Paid??
How can the Executives can say that I will have to pay the rental Amount for 7 days or more till the problem gets resolved or how can they say not to use the number for 7 days or how can they DARE to say that they will disconnect my number for 7 days or above till the problem gets rectifies???????????
