Loss of bill paid for Net Connect through online payment. Bank credited money to reliance. They refused to admit they received, but they were able to send it back to me a month later instead of crediting it to my account (I called the bank to ask where the credit money came from and they replied Reliance Communications.). I would like to say that this is a case of fraud, but I believe it just a case of negligence towards the customer and poor communication between managers.
On the 9th of April 2010 when I made payment for the bill of Rs1379, I did not receive a proper receipt from reliance so I immediately contacted *355 and they advised me to contact the local Web World. However I called again *355 on the 10th. They once again advised me to go to the local Web World (WW). I finally was able to contact the WW on the 17th of April. I wrote a letter of complaint and asked them to change my connection to a pre-payed plan or else terminate the connection. I also submitted the bank proof that they had indeed received my money. They made excuses and said that the payment was for the previous months bill. They told me we will check into it and they would get back to me in 2 days. On the 18th of April 2010 I stopped using Reliance Net Connect services (the bill was generated on the 22nd, but I continue to be billed.)
9 days later I received my bill showing that the issue was not solved so I submitted another letter to the email of
[email protected], and told them I wanted termination of my account and warned them if they did not fix the problem I would also terminate my Mobile account . A Mr. Pawan Bhatt replied that same day acknowledging my desire to terminate the account and expressed his regrets. Still nothing has happened. All I can say is I hate dealing with liars and thieves.
Since that day I tried to work out this issue with several visits to the WW and the Reliance Mobile (RM) store - Still no resolution. On the 14th of May I received my initial payment of 1379 with no explanation. I contacted the bank and they told me Reliance Communications had credited that money back to the account. I figured out that it was the RM store that helped me get the money back, but that was not what I wanted as that was only Reliance’s money and needed to be credited to the 9th April bill. I went and complained and was advised that I should not make payment by both the WW and RM stores. I did not agree with their advice and re-credited that money back to my Net Connect account intending to make all payments complete, however Reliance Communications continues to bill me. Now my bill is Rs 4090.
