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 !

Vodafone forcing me to take my own number of nine years as a new connection now !

Why were so many numbers deactivated by Vodafone in October 2015 and that too at the end of the month and at the time of upgrading their technology ? Instead of admitting their mistake they falsely accuse the customer of not submitting updated documents ! Very convenient for them to blame the customer !
My number stands deactivated for a very long time now because of their carelessness which they are camouflaging by a false accusation against me. My number has been snatched away by Vodafone without proper investigation or verifying facts and they are saying that I can only have my number back by taking it as a new number now. I would like to point out that before all this happened, they had actually informed us about the change in relationship number of my account in last month's bill and I wonder if that contributed to their deactivation of my number ? Why ? Were they planning all along to deactivate many old numbers and force us to take our own numbers as new connections ? After deep researching, I found that many long time customers have faced the same problem around the end of October or just before the long weekend of Dusherra.

    Another observation- Vodafone has deactivated so many old numbers last month as they want us to discontinue those old plans and opt for more expensive plans. So they are creating a situation where the customers are being forced to take new connection with a changed relationship number to retain their numbers...They were after me to subscribe to Vodafone Red.

    And now even with the World Calling Card they are delaying replacing the blocked card or refunding that money so that they can later say that the card has expired ! Since a week and a half we have complained about it and my mother who is a senior citizen has visited the store twice regarding that !

    Vodafone makes money by forcing us to accept services we do not use or giving us defective cards. They manipulate and intimidate the customers to go for expensive plans.
