Text of Complaint by Bhagyashree Kenkre:

To be straight to the point, I have been using Airtel post paid mobile number for couple of years. I had amended the billing date when I choose my billing plan, to the start of the month for claims from my company and all was fine till November 2018.

 

  1. My billing cycle was changed in Dec 2018 without any intimation to me (from 4th of every month to 16th of every month) & I have not received any bill for the period of 4th Dec to 16th Dec.
  2. My airtel account shows no history of usage before Jan 2019. How is deletion of any records legal???
  3. Airtel customer care is clear that there is no bill generated before Jan 2019, but i do get repeated calls to clear my outstanding dues prior to Jan 2019, for which they have no records.
  4. Since the new billing cycle does not cover a straight month, my company refuses to reimburse me, who decides to pay for this loss, Airtel customer care has no answer to the same.
  5. My so-called new Jan 2019 bill shows a one time charge of Rs. 1958/- (sum of 2 charges towards outstanding transfer from old to new account debitI wonder why would there be 2 charges for 1 number in the very first place) for which I have not received any explanation or clarity till date.

I have written to the nodal office (nodalofficer.mumbai@in.airtel.com) as well as to the appellate (appellate.west@in.airtel.com). They have made a single call and have straight away mentioned that I was not reachable. I have also asked for a direct number where i can call back but have not received any response on the same.

As of this morning, my incoming calls have been barred as well, which is a huge loss of business for me.

I have been very clear to Airtel recovery agents that I will not clear any dues till my issue has been resolved, however no agent or officer has yet reverted with any clarity.

 

P.S.: i am attaching my old bills and new as well for any reference that you may require.
