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 !

Only words and no action !

Only words and no action ! Vodafone only believes in discussions and not action. On their social media page Vodafone says that they do not want me to have such an unpleasant experience with them . But that unpleasant experience with them has already occurred and is still an ongoing process and they are doing nothing to change that ! They only offer words and fake assurances but no action is being taken to rectify their mistake. This has already happened far too many times ! 

What happened cannot be changed but Vodafone can definitely change their attitude towards this case and all it's customers. There has already been so much of discussion on this matter since June and now I expect action !

 The time has come for action and for Vodafone to fix responsibility on the people concerned. It is high time that conflict resolving authorities like the Nodal and Appellate Authority act responsibly for a change !

 The time has come for Vodafone to give importance to the customer and demonstrate it through actions by first restoring my services and then sending an apology letter right away. And then only will I  submit my documents again but on the condition that  Vodafone investigates the matter thereafter so that there is no repetition of such carelessness with any customers or me in the future. And I would need a reference number for that investigation so that I could keep a track about the progress of that investigation.

 Now this is not only my matter, it is the matter of all their customers in the same situation as mine ! Vodafone should investigate why it's stores are not registering or updating the customers' information regarding verification of their documents on visits to their various stores.

  1. It has been a week now since Vodafone deactivated my number and each day that the number is not available to me is costing me loss of money as my work calls are getting affected ! I expect Vodafone to compensate me for this loss and the amount lost on the Vodafone World Calling Cards too that I had purchased.

  2. Vodafone has to compensate for the way their staff humiliated me despite my co-operation and denying me an investigation.
