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 !

Apple's lack of initiative in resolving the errors in their applications


Like many over the months, I too have faced a lot of problems with Apple products and applications. There is definitely something wrong with their server and applications like Notepad, ICloud, FaceTime, I-message and photos.
Notes and photos continue to disappear suddenly and even reappear out of the blue on their own. When I lost all my Notes just like that one fine day, I obviously contacted them and explained everything at length so that they could find a solution to recover my notes. I conversed for long with the Apple team in the States over web chat and the Apple India over the phone. Of course their customer service attitude was very professional and I complimented them on that. In fact I think they were very courteous and even did the initial follow ups on my case.
But even after various interactions with them, my problem was not resolved. And then they just lost interest after that in following up on my case and work on the feedback I gave them regarding their products. Many others must have done the same but I personally think that Apple is not doing anything to rectify this common problems of so many consumers worldwide. Before getting in touch with them, I had done a deep research on the internet concerning this issue to find out reasons for such errors in their applications and search solutions for it. I was not surprised to find that many have been facing the same problems for a very long time and in the process lost their valuable notes and photos but Apple till date has done nothing much to fix this problem or find solutions by replacing these applications with better ones to combat the errors.
What is worse is that many a times it is so difficult to connect to the Apple server when utilising FaceTime even though the wifi connection at home or work is great. Also the recent IPads keep having unexpected shutdowns and that's when all the losses of notes happen and one has to again register the password etc. like the first time. Now that makes many people wonder if they chose wisely when they selected Apple products like IPhones and IPads. I find it more convenient and useful to use Microsoft products and Windows phones as you can completely rely on them to save your notes and important stuff for good.
