Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 ISSUED IN PUBLIC INTEREST... Please forward it to as many people as possible BEWARE OF THESE BANKS Looking at the rising complaints against ICICI Bank, Citibank, and Standard Chartered Bank , we request consumers to properly read their documents and keep a record when dealing with these banks, especially regarding credit card and housing loan. These three banks are biggest defaulters and do not resolve consumer problems easily. Be aware of their terms in writing. Keep a perfect record of all correspondence with them. If they do not agree to written communication , immediately stop their services . If you ask some nationalised bank to take over the housing loan from ICICI Bank, even after paying full amount, you will not get back your original documents for months. You will be told that the documents are in Mumbai and they are trying to retrieve the same. This is the answer you get everyday. BEWARE OF NOKIA Nokia assures that their handset is covered under insurance. They even provide a certificate of insurance. But the condition is that if the handset is lost/stolen, you have to lodge an FIR to seek claims. The catch here is that the police station does not lodge FIR for loss of handsets, they only register NC. So you will never get insurance claims on basis of NC. Nokia is selling some of its degraded products that have software problems. If you come across such problem in a new set, do not waste your time in running around service centres as it is not going to help much, ask for a replacement with a new set. All those who have purchased 3230 set, have experienced that there was software problem in every set. Nokia is simply dumping the sets, which can not be sold in other countries. BEWARE OF AIR DECCAN Their confirmed bookings are highly unreliable and of no guarantee that you will be allowed to fly . The booked tickets get cancelled without intimation to consumer only to be known by him when he goes to the airport to catch his flight. You will not get refund immediately, if you have booked your ticket through credit card. If you call up their call centre, if you press numbers relating to refund, you will not be attended at all even if you try for hours together. If you talk to somebody regarding refund, you have to press options relating to ticket booking, so that someone will attend to you. Then you can ask for refund. They are following very good trick. BEWARE OF COUNTRY CLUB, BANGALORE They advertise that if you take their membership, a plot of land will be given free of cost near Golden Spa at Coconut Grove. Please note Golden Spa is 35 Kms from Bangalore and the said plot of land is over 100 Kms from Bangalore. Based on false promises and with arrangement with Citibank and ICICI Bank, this team cheats the consumers of his money by asking payments through credit card. BEWARE OF PRIVATE BUS OPERATORS/TRAVEL AGENTS If you book your ticket in a private bus operator, you will find that your seat is allotted to somebody else also. Many a times, though you have booked your ticket to some destination, you will dropped few kilometers away, if there are not enough passengers for your destination. Then you will have to depend on other services to reach your destination. Keep the records/proofs and give a complaint to the nearest police station, when you come back. If you find that the police is supporting the travel agent, immediately inform his higher ups or give a complaint to consumer forum. Always try to use government transportation services. They may be bad in service but will never cheat you. BOOK TELESALES & RECOVERY AGENTS If you receive unwanted advertisement / telemarketing call from any company or recovery agents. You will find it annoying especially when you are on roaming network. Ask their telephone number and report to the police. File a police complaint against the Chairman of the company . BEWARE OF SOME HOSPITALS If you happen to get admitted (or admit your family person/friend/ relative) for any operation in any hospital, keep all the records. Even if the doctor scribbles any information on a piece of paper and give it you, please keep it with you. In future, for your bad luck, if some adverse thing happens due to wrong dialysis or wrong operation, these things will come handy to fight it in a court. Please be clear that consumer forums are not of much help to you because they do not have good doctors in their panel. Many a times they do not have any doctors in their panel and even if they have, a doctor in the panel will try to help a doctor. In such a case you will have to fight tooth and nail. Hence keep all the records/proofs with you carefully. BEWARE OF TATAINDICOM BROADBAND and WIRELESS FIXED TELEPHONE Their promises to get you a broadband connection within a week is not to be relied upon. Once your money is stuck (about Rs. 2000), it takes lot of pains to recover it back. If you book Wireless fixed telephone, the Tataindicom sales person will tell you that you can send/receive fax, send/receive e-mails in other service providers' account also (for example vsnl, touchtel etc). Once you install the telephone, you will find that the instrument can not support fax machine even if connected through EPABX, you will find that you can receive e-mails in other accounts and can not send e-mails at all. You have to send e-mails only through Tataindicom e-mail service.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Sai ram to all Its very implicit from the content of this mail, that it’s a forward in public interest. And we should be thankful to the person who has taken time to do this selfless service. In this hectic world, if some one like brother Mahadevan has thought about his fellow beings and spared his valuable time to forward this mail to make them aware of any deceit, its worth appreciating.

I want to aske one thing to sister meera whether she is really a swamy' s devotee if yes she should have read swamy's preachings throughly and understand it also swamy has told us to see ourself before blaming others and also she should understand whatever we do whether it is writing in this forum or saying something we can do it only by the grace of swamy .Is it not i hope sister meera will not mistake me i am not hurting her or anybody i am writing only what little i can understand from swamy' s preaching I am sorry if i have hurt somebody with koti pranams at the lotus feet of swamy to bless us all saraswathi ganeshansanjay sondhi <sondhi_sanjay65 > wrote: SAI RAM SISTER MEERA, BROTHER MAHADEVAN IS DOING HIS WORK WONDERFULLY ,WITH NO PERSONAL INTEREST OF HIS OWN !

Please forward it to asmany people as possible BEWARE OF THESE BANKS Looking at the rising complaints against ICICI Bank,Citibank, and Standard Chartered Bank , we requestconsumers to properly read their documents and keep arecord when dealing with these banks, especiallyregarding credit card and housing loan. These threebanks are biggest defaulters and do not resolveconsumer problems easily. Be aware of their terms inwriting. Keep a perfect record of all correspondencewith them. If they do not agree to writtencommunication , immediately stop their services . Ifyou ask some nationalised bank to take over thehousing loan from ICICI Bank, even after paying fullamount, you will not get back your original documentsfor months. You will be told that the documents are inMumbai and they are trying to retrieve the same. Thisis the answer you get everyday. BEWARE OF NOKIA Nokia assures that their handset is covered underinsurance. They even provide a certificate ofinsurance. But the condition is that if the handset islost/stolen, you have to lodge an FIR to seek claims.The catch here is that the police station does notlodge FIR for loss of handsets, they only register NC.So you will never get insurance claims on basis of NC.Nokia is selling some of its degraded products thathave software problems. If you come across suchproblem in a new set, do not waste your time inrunning around service centres as it is not going tohelp much, ask for a replacement with a new set. Allthose who have purchased 3230 set, have experiencedthat there was software problem in every set. Nokia issimply dumping the sets, which can not be sold inother countries. BEWARE OF AIR DECCAN Their confirmed bookings are highly unreliable and ofno guarantee that you will be allowed to fly . Thebooked tickets get cancelled without intimation toconsumer only to be known by him when he goes to theairport to catch his flight. You will not get refundimmediately, if you have booked your ticket throughcredit card. If you call up their call centre, if youpress numbers relating to refund, you will not beattended at all even if you try for hours together. Ifyou talk to somebody regarding refund, you have topress options relating to ticket booking, so thatsomeone will attend to you. Then you can ask forrefund. They are following very good trick. BEWARE OF COUNTRY CLUB, BANGALORE They advertise that if you take their membership, aplot of land will be given free of cost near GoldenSpa at Coconut Grove. Please note Golden Spa is 35 Kmsfrom Bangalore and the said plot of land is over 100Kms from Bangalore. Based on false promises and witharrangement with Citibank and ICICI Bank, this teamcheats the consumers of his money by asking paymentsthrough credit card. BEWARE OF PRIVATE BUS OPERATORS/TRAVEL AGENTS If you book your ticket in a private bus operator, youwill find that your seat is allotted to somebody elsealso. Many a times, though you have booked your ticketto some destination, you will dropped few kilometersaway, if there are not enough passengers for yourdestination. Then you will have to depend on otherservices to reach your destination. Keep therecords/proofs and give a complaint to the nearestpolice station, when you come back. If you find thatthe police is supporting the travel agent, immediatelyinform his higher ups or give a complaint to consumerforum. Always try to use government transportationservices. They may be bad in service but will nevercheat you. BOOK TELESALES & RECOVERY AGENTS If you receive unwanted advertisement / telemarketingcall from any company or recovery agents. You willfind it annoying especially when you are on roamingnetwork. Ask their telephone number and report to thepolice. File a police complaint against the Chairmanof the company . BEWARE OF SOME HOSPITALS If you happen to get admitted (or admit your familyperson/friend/ relative) for any operation in anyhospital, keep all the records. Even if the doctorscribbles any information on a piece of paper and giveit you, please keep it with you. In future, for yourbad luck, if some adverse thing happens due to wrongdialysis or wrong operation, these things will comehandy to fight it in a court. Please be clear thatconsumer forums are not of much help to you becausethey do not have good doctors in their panel. Many atimes they do not have any doctors in their panel andeven if they have, a doctor in the panel will try tohelp a doctor. In such a case you will have to fighttooth and nail. Hence keep all the records/proofs withyou carefully. BEWARE OF TATAINDICOM BROADBAND and WIRELESS FIXEDTELEPHONE Their promises to get you a broadband connectionwithin a week is not to be relied upon. Once yourmoney is stuck (about Rs. 2000), it takes lot of painsto recover it back. If you book Wireless fixedtelephone, the Tataindicom sales person will tell youthat you can send/receive fax, send/receive e-mails inother service providers' account also (for examplevsnl, touchtel etc). Once you install the telephone,you will find that the instrument can not support faxmachine even if connected through EPABX, you will findthat you can receive e-mails in other accounts and cannot send e-mails at all. You have to send e-mails onlythrough Tataindicom e-mail service.
