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'S WAY OF DISHONEST BUSINESS


Vodafone activates default services in your account such as mobile data connection etc. without the customer's knowledge or permission and then they  present them with exorbitant amounts in bills. By the time you realise it it is too late ! These services that they activate in your account are termed as "default services" by them. Vodafone customers please be careful !
For example they activate mobile data connection in your account without your knowledge then the mobile data ( GSM network ) automatically gets connected and activated on your phone whenever Wifi gets lost or it's signal strength is weak. This information is based on many customers' feedbacks regarding the same. And even when you put in a request to deactivate that unwanted service immediately, you are already charged for it and it is restored back the next day even after deactivation. So be alert ! And please make sure that you have not selected or activated mobile data connection even in your settings on your phone to doubly protect yourself fully if you do not want it.

  1. Vodafone customers be careful ! You can be charged for services that you have not subscribed to like ISD or Mobile data because Vodafone activates these services in accounts of customers without their knowledge and permission ! This is their way of making money from every customer. I have customers who have reported this and I myself had gone through the same when I was a Vodafone customer. One is better off with Airtel.

  2. Customers someone at Vodadone heard at last in the case of wrongful activation of services without the customers' consents.
    We had raised the same complaint with the Nodal office and they have resolved it. It seems that somebody heard and believed at last and it is sincerely appreciated that this time they resolved the issue fairly and that too at the earliest considering that it concerned senior citizens. The Nodal office generously resolved it just in time for Christmas and truly demonstrated the spirit of giving this time in the festive season.

    After so many years for the first time I felt that Vodafone responded positively and fairly to a complaint of the customer and I must compliment the Nodal Office Mumbai and New Delhi for that. My mail reached the Mumbai Nodal office and they immediately forwarded it to the New Delhi Nodal office.
    As you know I personally had a very bad experience with Vodafone last year which broke my association with them but their judgement today concerning senior citizens made me believe that there are still people at Vodafone Nodal team who are actually sensitive to the problems of customers.
    This makes me hope that Vodafone will now stand committed to it's customers and work on building a better relationship with it's customers in the future.

    This time I believe that I must give a positive feedback irrespective of my previous experience with Vodafone as the recent resolution provided by the Nodal office definitely calls for a compliment ! I hope they continue to realise the customers' problems when they find truth in the complaint of the customers because it will only enhance their relationship with customers and invite trust from customers.
    And customers please don't give up hope as someone may hear you after all if you are truthful and determined...Stand up for yourself and be persistent in getting heard ! You may not always win all battles even if truth is on your side, but you may win some !
