This is regarding a very bad experience with Airtel.

Ever since I took the airtel conection 9741596614, I had problems with poor connectivity, call dropping, getting the junk messages even after DND request.


The problems were never corrected and hence I decided to close the subscription. I paid all the outstanding bills on 16th April and gave the request for disconnection.


I sent the request for refund of the security deposit on 17th April to Nodal office of Airtel. I sent me mail asking me the details of my bank for refunding the money. I never received any cheque from the airtel.


To my surprise, airtel kept generating the bills even after 17th April. They conveniently used up my security deposit aganist the fictitiuos bills that they generated.

I have discared the sim card on 16th April itself and I had cleared all the bills before applying for disconnection of the bills.

Could someone help to me get back my security deposit that airtel has sallowed ?



Below is the mail I had received from airtel on 17th April.

Hello


It is been almost more than 3 months that I am facing network issues.
Whenever I contact customer care I get a service number but the problem
remains.

Problems in brief:

The network connectivity on my cell works for 1 or 2 weeks but then
suddenly the network connection drops dead and shows emergency calls only.
This issue happens irrespective of my location. All my calls are drops and
I can t make any calls. Sometimes I can t hear from the other party but
then my meter keeps running.

I am in touch with customer care from 3 months and not a single time I have
heard any resolution on this issue always I get to hear that it is been
looked into.

I stay in a prime locations of Bangalore and my network connection shows
full strength but the moment I start a call or receive a call the signal
strength drops

Thanks
Shailaja
