Hello anitha, zoomcar team,

We are aware of the member agreement and ofcourse have the sense of paying any charges that are really entitled for us. At the same time we as customers will not pay any charges that doesn't belong/relate to us.

I firmly and with all the evidence say that there is no single scratch or any minute damage from my side. I have written several mails with the same information to your team and also asked them to reach out to me with damages so that i can provide them the necessary evidence as i don't have the option to upload before and after videos of the car (Your zoomcar mobile app allows only images as attachment).

The car was given to me with dirty interiors, vomits on the exterior of the car, etc. I got it water washed before going on my 1 day vacation.

It's been more than a week and no reply or call from your team even after multiple mails and calls from side.

You people have unnecessarily charged me 10, 000/- that i will never pay. You can even initiate legal procedures. It's minimum courtesy to atleast inform me if there is any discrepancy (Like the nature of damage, etc.). But you have done nothing and tagged me with unnecessary bill.

You can check the correctness and get back to me on the same to discuss on this issue further.

Thanks and regards,
Rahul kuliyampattil.
