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 !

ONE

I believe in standing up for my Rights and felt the importance of informing the world about Vodafone's dishonest business tones in India.

And I am truly grateful to all who are supporting my petition because WE as " ONE" can make a difference and bring about the much needed change in the way companies view customers.

Earlier on the 20th of June 2015  I had reported this matter to the Ministry of Consumer Rights but till date nothing was ever done in that direction !

Let's become ONE in defending our Rights as consumers or customers so that companies cannot take us for granted and get away with endless harassment. It is time that importance is given to Consumer Rights in India as well !

    Vodafone's delay in restoring my number has costed me greatly in my personal and work life as my life has in a way got paralysed and I am not able to receive calls of specially work related people due to the deactivation of the number.

    My business card carries this number and people are not able to access me directly for assignments. As a free lance Japanese Culture & Language Consultant my work relies on my everyday interactions with people regarding upcoming global assignments. I expect Vodafone to compensate me for letting my work life get affected through it's stubbornness to have barred my calls twice for more than a week in the last three months and deactivating my number recently.

    Addressing this case at all times to get my number restored is also taking me away from my work. As they say Time is Money but my time is being wasted by Vodafone for a very long time now ! As it is the international calling cards I had purchased from them are also getting wasted as I cannot use them on any other phone. Had they addressed this case on time or had let me port my number to Airtel then all this inconvenience would not have occurred.

    Vodafone's rash action is costing me greatly ! They had no right to deactivate my number !
