We have purchased a Videocon double door fridge from next showroom, Mumbai on 25th June 2008. After 2nd day of purchase we found it was not cooling properly but we thought it might be taking time because it was new.
Now we have shifted to Delhi & after 3months of purchase now the fridge is not at all cooling, regarding this we already had put in number of complaints with their service center.
According to their people there was a problem in compressor which they opened and filled gas & all but again after a day it wasn't working. After calling them again several times another service engineer visited us and he gave us a technical explanation for the same to which we don't understand and he continued on saying it will be rectified after cleaning and fixing this problem. But entire exercise was of no use and wastage of time. As we till date have a fridge which in no working condition at all even though its under Warranty. And god knows what Videocon people will do next.
It is too much mental tension for us as family & finally we requested Videocon people to replace the fridge with a new one. Because it is under warranty or immediately resolve the technical fault in our present fridge as our day to day activity & family life is affected with not having a workable fridge in the house.
We request u to please help us in finding a solution for this problem.

SUB: NOTICE BEFORE FILING CONSUMER COMPLAINT
Dear Sir,
We have purchased a Videocon refrigerator on 25th June 2008 from Mumbai (Bill no-16241, Next
Retail India Ltd, Kandivali, Mumbai).
The fridge is under warranty, the machine started showing problems in September 2008 and I have
contacted your customer care on this several times. Technical experts from your company have made
four visits to my residence in Delhi where the refrigerator is currently located. In the second visit,
they changed some gas in the machine and then it started working fine but only for two days and
showed the same problem of non-cooling after that.
Complaint No: - on 17-09-08 - 5a0080809170006
Complaint No: - on 6-11-08:- 5a0080811010018
In this regard we have also contacted to your 'Area coordinator' in Delhi - Mr. Balganesh and Mr.
Rajendar. They kept giving false promises that since the machine is not working properly even after
repairing, they would replace it with a new one in a few days time.
However, nothing positive has been done until now although this process has started since September
2008.
This is a notice to notify you of a time period of 15-25 days from 13-12-08, by which either a
replacement of the product or refund of full amount with 10% interest. Else we will file a
complaint with the Consumer Court.
And the consumer complaint will be at your cost and expenses, and we will seek compensation
for the mental agony caused due to your deficiency in services.
Yours truly,

Hi Anjani,
Have you heard from Videocon yet? If not please go down to your nearest consumer court brance and file a complaint there... You would need to spend Rs100 for a postal order to attach with the complaint as the fees of the consumer court. After you file your complaint you will be given a date for hearing and summons will be served to Videocon to furnish a reply in the case to put farward their part of the story.
Please do not hire any lawyer as you can represent yourself and save that money but on the other hand if you do hire a lawyer although I wont recomend you to do so... You can claim the legal expenses from the company.
Make sure you ask for a hefty compensation and not delaty this matter any more as by the looks of it it doesnt look like videocon is in a mood to listen to your complaints and/or do something about it.
Do keep us posted on whats going.

Today we tried to contact Videocon again to resolve the problem but their representative
Mr. Upadhya- 09312243709 said “do whatever you like and I don't care about the consumer court”.
He used un-parliamentary language.
This has hurt my sentiments more and I doubt whether this vendor take you people seriously.
I request you to kindly get me compensation on the following grounds amounting to Rs. 50, 00,000.00
Although this is not going to compensate my lost of self respect & sentiments and my respect in front of my in-laws. If it was with your sister/daughter, kindly check her sentiments that’s what I told Mr. Upadhya.
I am very much hurt , more over I am new joining in my company thus I am not able to take leave which will mean financial loss as well as hamper my career which is un-compensable in any financial form.
With hopes and expectations
Regards,
Anjni
