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 !

Nodal's unfair resolution & intervening again at this level not acceptable !

The matter has gone past Nodal long time back because they provided unfair resolutions time and again on this case and I do not accept that ! And I have a right to escalate the matter if I am not satisfied with the unfair decision of the Nodal and Appellate Authority ! But they are even denying me that right by putting endless pressure to give in on their terms. Also they are appointing the same representative that they had assigned to this case earlier on and that person Sunil Kumar is incapable of settling the matter fairly. That man still remains adamant regarding refusal to carry out an investigation, send a written apology letter from people concerned who harassed me or activate my number. By deactivating my number deliberately they are abusing my right to port this number to Airtel.

 Nodal is still refusing to accept the fact that I had already submitted documents ( ID & Address proof) on the 3rd of June 2015 but their staff did not do their job rightly and update that information in my account which caused barring of my calls twice and finally deactivation of my number. Instead of investigating the matter or have their staff apologise to me in writing for all the inconvenience caused, the Nodal team from the beginning has not even tried to resolve the matter or addressed my complaint properly. They are only copying and pasting their old message in every mail they sent me till today and that message clearly reflects their believing the false feedback of their teams and passing unfair judgement based on that !

 As I have mentioned before as well that on the 21st of Oct. 2015 Sunil did not talk to me in an appropriate manner  when he called me. Like Sunder, he was very hostile in his attitude towards me in this entire case. It is clearly obvious that I would not be getting a fair resolution from Vodafone anytime soon as their social media page team keeps delaying addressing this complaint every day despite their assurances that they would look into it.  I communicated to the Nodal in response to their message today that again I am not satisfied with their resolution as I have lost faith in their ability to resolve customer complaints through their actions. What is the idea of Nodal intervening again at this time when the matter has been escalated this far specially they have no intention whatsoever for resolving this complaint fairly ?

 I will be escalating the matter further and as far as it can go. This is totally unacceptable that the Nodal Office is letting Vodafone representatives get away with continuous harassment of a customer. It is also very unfortunate that the Nodal team is aiding the customer service team and Noida Vodafone shop to cover up their lies and till date supporting them in deactivating my number impulsively without even letting an investigation take place. 

 The last time I mailed Nodal before this petition was my last attempt to give them a final chance for the third or fourt time to resolve this issue at their level but they have failed me and let me down as a customer who had repeatedly turned to them hoping that they would order an investigation of the matter and pass a fair judgement.  I have mails to prove their indifference in this entire matter. As I had stated earlier on first Vodafone should do their job and fix responsibility on the people concerned by investigating and asking them to apologise in writing and restore my services, and then I shall submit my documents again for the second time !
