I am Vodafone customer since December 2015. I change service provider From Idea to Vodafone. At the time of porting to Vodafone, I gave my consent to fix credit limit Rs of 500/-. Later on it is increased to 2000/- by Vodafone without my consent.
On 7th April 2015 Vodafone barred all the outgoing service on my phone for the reason they have told that there is Rs 4707/-unbilled amount pertaining to international call.
I inform to Vodafone that I never made any international call. If wrongly/unfortunately, any call were made through my no, then why it was cross the credit limit of my account. the called duration showing in my bill is 45 minutes 32 seconds which is charged Rs 4706. (More than Rs 100 per minutes)
It is come to know that for increasing company business, some service providers (Vodafone may be) are engage with call centre racket, who called through computer from their call centre for promoting their business. The number randomly generated with international country code. They give a miss call to customer from international number to attract customer to call back on unknown number for which company charging premium call charges.
At first glance, it is seem the company’s fault. The credit limit of my mobile no is Rs. 2000. The company have to stop the services when charges crossed credit limit.
The total bill of month of April come to Rs 5673/-. The last date was 19th May 2015. Many times, I have call customer care and written to Vodafone to reverse / waive of the amount of Rs 4707/- charging to my account. At first company decline the request but when I approach to higher authority the company reverse the Rs 1700/- from my account.
For approximately 2 months company withdrawn all the service from my mobile no. many time I requested to restore the service on my mobile no.
I made Payment of Rs 1500 on 28th May 2015. On 1st June 2015 Vodafone increase my credit limit from 2000 to 2500 and restore service.
I made another payment of Rs 500 on 5th June 2015 toward May month bill for which they charge Rs 403/-
Now the company barred all the incoming and outgoing services and asking to deposit balance of Rs. 2895/- for restoration.
Company is harassing / niggling customer by stopping (barred) service
Some points is given below:
1. Every post-paid account has a set a 'Credit Limit'. If you’re outstanding payment amount crosses this limit, your phone system will automatically stop to work. The credit limit of my mobile no is 2000. If my credit limit is 2000/- then why services not stopped immediately when I crossed my limit
2. The bill raised by the Vodafone is Rs 5673/- which is almost 300% higher. How it is possible? As per the rules, one cannot allow to avail the facility beyond his credit limit. In the case the, to attract the business The Company neglects the credit limit.
3. The mobile no is not in the service since 10th April. The Vodafone is charging the rent for full month for which company did not provide the service. HOW CAN someone get a bill if their phone's services are completely DOWN.
