The Engineer visited and confirmed that the speed was as low as 20 Kbps compared to company claim of 3.1 Mbps. The company still asked for more time to work on the issue and finally after chains of emails exchange submitted to cancel my connection at full loss on 04th Feb '12.

To my shock I am getting collection calls for the monthly usage of Rs 726/- as a rental for the billing cycle just for keeping the dongal. Why should I be paying a rent when I requested cancellation within a week due to no speed? I never got the opportunity to use the services plus I had received an email confirming the current outstanding as NIL. The customer care is pathetic would be an understatement. The nodal officer is a shameless person who without even looking at the history of the case simply forwarded the case to customer service again.

All their replies start with, we apologize for the inconveninence and value your association with us followed by we have raised a ticket and are working on it on priority. They employees work like machines with no brains.

I highly recommend Reliance and Airtel for better coverage and warn that you should never buy a Tata connection as it is more like a Govt. Company. I am going to forward my case to consumer court as well as their MD N. Srinath along with a copy to Vinod Kumar CEO.

You have simply met my expectations with a scripted reply. I am challenging that I will walk upto your Lajpat customer service center this weekend and in the event of an unsuccessful resolution I will stand opposite to your showroom with a Hoarding saying, "TATA PHOTON+ is a SCAM and the Company is CHEAT" Certainly I will have a media friend from Times accompany me to click a pic and post in Delhi Times. Aaj Tak and India Tv are always up for creative news so I have their number in case need be. Finally the pics and the email will be sent to the CEO of your company to show how useless the employees of your company are!!

Dear team,

I am getting harrassed by your company on a daily basis would be an understatement.

I went to the customer care center in Lajpat Nagar on Sat 3rd Mach '12, wherein they have raised a billing dispute as I had placed a cancellation request on 18th Jan so I should have only be charged rental for the period 10th Jan - 18th Jan. The ref# for the issue is 300049791.

I was also informed by the team that I am not eligible for any refund as I have not submitted the modem yet. I have exchanged more than 20 emails with the customer service team out of these in my last 3-4 emails I specifically asked "If I need to perform any action to complete the refund process?" "Do I have to do any thing?" I received a scripted replies each time that refund will be processed within 39 days and the cheque will be sent to my mailing address. No associate ever informed me to submit the modem at the outlet. So how am I suppose to know the Buy back procedure when I am dealing with your company for the first time??

Also, it was not a normal buy back that I changed my mind and should have provided the pack back within a week's time to get full refund, rather this was a result of no coverage for which your team took almost 14 days to confirm that the reason for cancellation was valid. Since then it has been more than 1 month already and had I not walked upto the customer care center they won't even have informed me about this procedure. They even refused to take the modem back as no where in my account it was mentioned that it's a case of full refund. I was also asked to provide the packing box (which I had left at the seller's shop after the activation) and the USB cable (Which I had never received with the dongle). I was advised to contact Nodal helpdesk with for better resolution.

Today I called on Nodal Helpdesk number 01166558101 at 15:50 Hrs and spoke to Suhaas, I gave himt the entire history of my case and my call was placed on hold. I WAS ON HOLD FOR MORE THAN 10 MINS AND THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED!!!!! The total duration of the call was 20 mins and the call was hung up on me without any resolution, this is the level of commitment you show towards your customers. I have knocked all possible doors to receive a resolution to my problem but to no use. Do not feel that I am only threatning to go to your CEO or Consumer court. I will certainly do so after I have tried all possible options and this is onl going to make my case more strong.

I can be contacted at +91-981-194-1818 or at Jagpreet.Singh@mail.com. My unfortunate Docomo connection number was 9212291900

It has been more than 10 days since the tickets were raised on priority and the information was forwarded to the concerned department, I believe your concerned department is not concerned and all your tickets that you raise are fake just like your company.

Still awaiting a reply, now this issue has been posted on Govt. website for consumer court affairs at core.nic.in as well. A hard copy of all the emails has been sent to your Corporate Office at Mumbai as well.

Thanks for your services and prompt replies, you sons of guns!!!

When I had bought the product from the dealer, he activated the device at his showroom so I did not bring the box along with the dongle and I have been informed that it's not possible to get refund without box. Do you carry packaging boxes when you buy activated stuff ??? Even if you do, do you keep them with you considering you would be eventually returning the product to the company?? Do we ever buy stuff considering that we would return it ??? Is this how a normal consumer think??? Your practices are not fair hence I have filed the case in consumer court. I appreciate you giving a waiver for the monthly bill but I was ready to pay for the 8 days usage that I had.

Even in the given scenario you are keeping my 1200 for a device that I never wanted to keep in the first place. I have already advised your team to not to contact me anymore as I was blatantly declined a buy back in the event of no packaging box, I would wait on the final verdict from the consumer court on this issue as I have filed for damages on the ground of threat to my credit when I have a score of 800+ and for psychological harassment. Not to forget I have all the emails supporting my claim that I was promised a refund check within 39 days without informing me that I need to submit the device back to the showroom with the packaging box.

Very Dissatisfied Customer
