Reliance, Part III (..and I'm done)
If you're reading this, and want to catch up, here's Part I and Part II.
Right, after realizing towards the end of the previous scenario that there was no hope in the angle I was taking, nor does a company like Reliance care much for the complaints of a dissatisfied customer, or his blog posts. However, the social media push somehow (details left out intentionally, sorry!) got me in touch with their head of enterprise services. I sent him this:
Dear Punit,
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read through this e-mail.
I'm writing with regards to my frustration by Reliance Support and Reliance Customer Care over the last month.
After only recently signing up with your broadband services, both at home and at our offices, my modem at home failed on 8th November. I filed a complaint ...
[The details and facts specified here are pretty much outlined in Part I and Part II, so I'll skip it here]
... and that I would need to e-mail broadband@relianceada.com to state my case and claim.
I have now had (3) e-mail communications back, each stating that no waiver would be approved because the problems had all been resolved within the committed time.
Sir, as an extremely frustrated customer, I wish to highlight:
- As a fellow IT person operating a NOC environment, I cannot understand how Reliance Support engineers can close complaints without (a) showing up (b) contacting a customer and most importantly (c) solving the issue
- I cannot understand why Customer Care are unable to do anything beyond reading that the technical/someone closed my complaint and that it is solved, and opening newer complaint numbers
- Repeatedly e-mailing broadband@relianceada.com only results in being told that the issue has been resolved even though it should be clear that I would not have had to make multiple repeated complaints in the same week had that actually been the case, and that failure of Support System to continue running on the same case number is the reason I have 3 separate ones.
After dealing with this unprofessional attitude, I request that
- An explanation be available as to why customer complaints are being closed without problems being solved or at least some notification to the customer
- I should not be paying for the period wherein Reliance technical team & support failed to restore my services (Nov 08-Nov 16)
- Any additional charges that are incurred because of the delay in my resolution due to Reliance's billing and support teams past the billing date be waived as well.
