I always stand up for what I believe in and what is right even if it means standing alone...In life standing up for your rights is never easy but it is very important to embark on this Long and difficult path to enforce and protect your individual and consumer rights.We all must be aware of our rights.In exercising our rights are we truly free individuals.

I have won many long customer battles against Banks,Phone Companies, Airlines, Electronics Companies etc. I have devoted time and energy to demand positive resolutions for myself and people around me. I hate it when one is denied what every customer has a right to...and that is when I find it important to address it and complain about it. I know it takes time to escalate matters but somehow I prefer to address it no matter what. Having lived in America for sometime, I give a lot of importance to Individual Rights.

It is my nephew who inspired me to write this blog. He felt the importance of his rights and the need to address this subject in a blog very early in age when he was unhappy with the services of a certain Airline. It was then that he suggested that I should write a blog concerning such matters too.

Everyone has certain rights but we are usually not informed about them or do not exercise them. We have a right to be heard...and we must never forget that. There is One Right for All and None should be discriminated. One has the right to question and a right to information. With growing middle class touch 400 million and consumerism, Indian Companies need to become responsive to Consumer complaints and grievances. Ignoring such complaints could lead to big financial losses for the company on consumer complaints being upheld by Consumer Courts.

In this blog, I would like us to share our knowledge about how best to address our complaints effectively as a customer or consumer. It is also important to inform people about the poor customer services provided by reputed brand names. But I would also like to hi-light the names of companies and brands who have co-operated with customers and given positive responses. Please do share your experiences too.

You do not win every battle in life but you learn lessons from it and hopefully live to win it some day. Through this blog ,I would like to inspire people to stand up for their rights and if needed fight for it but the fight for your rights has to be fair and honest. I aim to create a direction and awareness for people who are not given their due rights as an individual first and then as a consumer. There are always solutions and there are way to reach those solutions or alternatives as customers through proper channels.

Whenever you have been able to get your rights heard, you should generously share that knowledge as how best to achieve that so that others could follow that too. Pay it forward ! We should share knowledge and in doing so we will learn more from each other. Alone you can stand up for your rights but with people behind you and with you , there will be more force in it and consumers and customers will not be taken for granted. United we stand in getting value for our hard earned money...United we stand in ensuring we get good customer service.

When there is a will there is a way. When you stand up for your rights and for others , somebody will listen to you sooner or later. Your voice will be heard ! But for that you have to speak out ! Silence can sometimes be mistaken as weakness or indifference. Always know your rights and request for those rights to be implemented but if they are not then demand that justice be served.


Always stand up for your rights...

Consumer Rights Consumer Might !

Appellate Authority, Vodafone Specialised Care Team and Nodal Office- All for One & One for All in Lies



I can totally see from the responses that Appellate Authority is clearly siding with Vodafone Nodal on this issue. It is heights that they are deviating from the matter and misquoting me. And Vodafone specialised care team is providing a false feedback that I have not visited any Vodafone store to submit updated documents. Abhishek from the Vodafone store has confirmed that I had submitted my documents on the 4 th of June 2015 and I appreciate him being honest in the entire matter. It was the Vodafone store that returned my documents saying that they had been verified and they did not require to keep them.

 The fact is that I have been wronged here because my account was suspended by the carelessness of the Backend team and the wrong feedback of the Vodafone specialised care team even after my documents were verified by their staff. The question is not so much about submitting the documents again and again. The question is why were my calls blocked when my documents had been verified ? They could have admitted their fault and requested me to submit those documents again BEFORE they decided to interrupt my calls. 

Why are the people concerned be it the Vodafone specialised care team or their Backend team not blamed for their unprofessional customer service ? It was the duty of the Nodal Office and the Appellate Authority to have investigated the matter instead of believing the false feedback of their specialised customer care team gave them. It was their duty to make sure that the customer was not constantly harassed for the fault of their team. The unprofessionalism and duplicity of the so called specialised team of Vodafone has to be addressed here. And the inability of the Nodal Office as well as the Appellate Authority in providing fair resolutions has to be addressed too.

I am escalating the matter further and am now going to the next level to complain. Appellate Authority never does it's work properly and this can be seen from the feedback of various customers on the FB page of Vodafone India. If needed the court will investigate the matter and they all will be held responsible for their lies. I have proof that I had visited the store with updated documents and my phone call from the store that day from my Reliance phone would be traced to support my statement.

Further I am bringing forward their careless and indifferent approach to the entire matter in this Consumer Rights Blog. Vodafone had no right to make odd men call me and force me to submit those documents again. As it is I had stated in my mail that the documents which have already been submitted will only be given again when Vodafone accepts it's mistake in writing and I am compensated in some way for the deep harassment and inconvenience.

  1. Ms. Bisht from the Appellate Office also accepted to believe the false feedback of Vodafone specialised care team rather than the facts of the customer. Perhaps she had been instructed by her senior Mr. Jain to do so. I think Abhishek from the Noida Vodafone Store would make a better Appellate Officer than Mr. Jain who is not even ready to personally investigate the matter to provide a fair resolution. Since Vodafone Noida store have co-operated with me by agreeing that they had verified updated documents for both our numbers but returned it to us, I am willing to co-operate with them too eventually by submitting my documents again BUT ONLY if the Appellate and Nodal Office-
    Provide written apologies for their carelessness in handling the matter without consulting Noida store and me and by believing false feedback of specialised Vodafone care team.
    Fix responsibility and take action against the Backend team and specialised care team for disabling my account without verifying facts.
    Provide some sort of compensation for the never ending harassment, humiliation and threats by Vodafone
