I have purchased a water purifier from Zero B and have nothing but problems with it since its installation. The details are as follows:•
The invoice is dated 30/09/2010 as the order for this machine was placed on that date, together with two other machines which were purchased at the same time. The machine was installed into our home 17th January 2011. It was agreed with the salesperson, Mr Rajesh Kumar Sharma that the warranty for this machine would commence from the installation date. This was not reflected on your systems and your company claimed that our warranty had expired.
•The machine has not been working properly since its installation and by the 15/02/11 a major part needed to be changed. Subsequently the water flow of the machine stops every 1 – 2 months which I have been advised is due to the filters choking. According to the your guidelines, the pre-filter should be changed once a year, the Sediment Filter should be changed every six months and the RO and Resin Carbon should be changed once a year or on choking. Our machine is choking every 1 – 2 months. The latest incident clearly shows this, as the water flow stopped on 21/02/12 (Ref 386785) an engineer came and
resolved the matter. By 10/03/12 (Ref 391967), the water flow had stopped again.
• My understanding is that an engineer is required to maintain the machine every 4 months to ensure the machine works effectively. Within the 14 months that I have had the machine, I have needed an engineer, approximately every 2 months.
• The service provided by your company is also unsatisfactory. Your company protocol states that a service engineer should attend to a customer query within 48 hours. I have waited for more than 10 days for an engineer to come and attend to my queries. I would have to follow- up on my query every day until an engineer comes.
I have paid Rs 14,000 for a machine that should provide continuous, safe drinking water. To date, this machine has not performed the function as per the description when it was sold to me. It is clear that an inadequate machine has been supplied and so I would like this to be resolved by either providing a new machine with a new warranty and the re-assurance that this machine will provide continuous, safe drinking water.
If this is not possible then I would like a refund on the machine.

1. From April 2009, premium of the Policy No. 68337000 were wrongly deducted from my salary which does not belongs to me by my employer and forwarded to Life Insurance Corporation of India.
2. Actually the Policy No. 68337000 is belonging to Mr. D. Laxminaryana.
3. In the month of May 2009, I observed the mistake and given a request letter to my management for doing necessary correction and stop the deductions from my salary. My management has stopped the deductions of Premium from my salary. The same copy sent to The Life Insurance Corporation of India.
4. From that day, I am corresponding with the Life Insurance Corporation of India. But still I had not received any reply from them.
5. I personally went Four times there and meet with The Asst. Manager, Life Insurance Corporation of India.
a) At my First approach he told me that they had returned the excess contributed amount to your Employer and advised me to go and consult them. But, they misguide me. They had not sent excess amount return to my Employer.
b) At my Second approach they told me that he wrote me a letter they are visiting over company to know the fact.
c) At my third approach they told me that he would visit my company to enquire the matter and if I found correct then they will retune the
amount to me.
d) At my third approach, The Asst. Manager went out of country on absence of the A.M., I approached another officer he told me that lets
come A.M. because he is handling your case.
6. On my several contacts to The Asst. Manager, LIC, , on phone he visits our company after six months, to know the fact and he found me
correct after enquiry. Then he assured me that very soon he would refund me and he introduced me with an agent Mr. Ashok Kuma to keep
touch with him regarding refund.
7. I had written several letters to LIC of India, .
7. After that several times I contact with The Asst. Manager and Mr. Ashok Kumar. But I had not get any reply with them. Hon’ble sir,
now I am tired and my hopes are over. I come to conclusion to approach consumer forum.
8. Sir, I am a patient, my parents are seventy plus. They are heart patient, we are badly required money for our medical treatment, sir.
Due to my seized amount at Life Insurance of India, , we are unable to take proper treatment.
Due to above working procedures I distrust on the Life Insurance Corporation of India. As I am a customer of the Life Insurance Corporation of India and having some policies with the LIC of India, I want to withdraw my all the polices with LIC of India, .
Please suggest me may i file in consumer forum?

My father (Late Ajit Kumer Dey) had Group mediclaim policy (Policy No.: OG-11-2401-8403-00000001) from Bajaj Allainze, Baja Allianz had honor the claims occurring from the my father’s CA rectum treatment, post mediclaim expiration, My father (Late Ajit Kumer Dey) had purchased ‘Group Unit Gain Policy’ in Dec’10, we had earlier opted for health (mediclaim) policy but due to the fact he was suffering from CA Rectum and his age 65, he was not considered
eligible for health policy, which was unusual as earlier Bajaj Allianz had underwritten my father’s health, instead the agent Ashish (9821669688) from Bajaj Allianz advised to go the ‘Group Unit Gain’ policy as this was an investment policy and no condition related to health prevails (the cover condition does not mention of any health conditions or existing diseases) also there was no medical test, also we are assured that the sum assured and riders will be
payable with guarantee and all the claim would be handled by the agent (INDIA INFOLINE) by Vikash (9323868744).
Unfortunately my father expired on Feb’11, to my utter disbelief and disappointment, INDIA INFOLINE was not helpful, their contact number in “certificate of insurance” does not work and I myself had to submit the claim to the nearest branch, also both the mobiles of Ashish and Vikash are not reachable, although an email intimation of the death was given on 9th March to Bajaj Alliance and INDIA INFOLINE.
We have received ONLY “certificate of insurance” as the ONLY policy document, we have not received any proposal and/or other policy documents or bond, two complaints has been lodged (I track Number: 10750699 and Issue No. 10695421).
I am been given the reason of claim being repudiated as non-disclosure of material facts, I beg to disagree here as all the facts were revealed to the agent, also the agent advised that the policy in question is of “investment” nature and not of health or life, also we have not got any policy documents or terms and condition, where we could peruse and raise any objection or discrepancies found, we could have raised our grievance then.
There was no reply on question like:-
“If this was investment policy why are question on heath raised”?
“if the policy has life cover, then why no medical test or it is mention of non-coverage of existing diseases”?
“Why are the terms and conditions not part of the policy kit and not given or shared with a member”?
As per sub-section (6) of section (4) ‘Proposal for insurance’ of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Protection of Policyholders’ Interests) Regulations, 2002 “Proposals shall be processed by the insurer with speed and efficiency and all decisions thereof shall be communicated by it in
writing within a reasonable period not exceeding 15 days from receipt of proposals by the insurer.”
And As per section 51 ‘Supply of copies of proposals and medical reports’ under ‘Special Provisions of Law’ of the INSURANCE ACT, 1938.
“Every insurer shall, on application by a policy holder and on payment of a fee not exceeding one rupee, supply to the policy holder certified copies of the questions put to him and his answers thereto contained in his proposal for insurance and in the medical report supplied in connection therewith”
Here we were not given any copy of filled proposal form, in spite of repeated asking for the same, here I am attaching the Proposal Form (which was ultimately given to us on 13th May 2011), you could gauge the difference, in signature(s) of both the proposal forms and also in the handwriting of both the form(s) with the signature, this vindicates that the proposal form(s) were NOT filled by my father.
The signature of my father in the proposal form of the policy 197201588 is valid and authentic, also attaching a copy of the cheque signed by my father for verification.
If this is life policy, why was a medical test not done or asked? Why was the copy of the duly filled proposal form(s) were not sent to us,
we could have intimated the company about the discrepancies then, this again vindicates that we DID NOT conceal any material facts, also for your reference Issue No. 11245029 and 11204491, the same carelessness treatment is given to another policy 0202021695, but after receiving the filled proposal form, we have intimated the company about the discrepancies found in the filled proposal form.
As per clause (a) of sub-section (1) of section 6 ‘Matters to be stated in life insurance policy’ of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Protection of Policyholders’ Interests) Regulations, 2002. “the name of the plan governing the policy, its terms and conditions”
Here the ONLY information given to us by the company is “Insurance of Certificate”, as per the cover conditions, we have NOT violated any condition, if there are more or other than this terms and condition, why is not the complete materials facts related to policy not informed/given to us?
If the complete (if any) terms and conditions were given to us, we could have peruse the terms and conditions and pointed out the discrepancies within the 15 days from the date of receipt of the policy document, still even after repeated seeking the terms and condition, the company is showing no sign of delivering the terms and condition (if any).
As per clause (1), (2), (3) and (4) of section 3 ‘Point of Sale’ of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Protection of Policyholders’ Interests) Regulations, 2002. If the agent had disclosed all material facts about the policy, we would have taken best decision on the best cover that would be in our interest, also since the proposal form was not filled by my father, the agent should have incorporated a certificate at the end of proposal form, from my father that the contents of the form and terms and condition have been fully explained to him and that he has fully understood the significance of the proposed contract, the agent during sale had shown the prospectus with terms and condition, which eventually turned out to be “Certificate of Insurance”.
Now after my email communication with Bajaj Allianz, I can only come to a conclusion that my father and now I have been misleaded and fudged by the agent or I am been given to experience lame excuse of not honoring the claim.
I have reported the fraud and grievance to IRDA, as Bajaj Allianz refused to communicate and honor the claim, Bajaj Allianz continue to repudiate the claim through communication but at same time Bajaj Allianz have paid amount of `22276 and `9547, which has been rejected and not acceptable by me as this is not as per my demand of honoring the claim or refund of entire premium with interest, there has been no response to the reason and logic of the amount paid to me.
It has been more than month since the advice issued by ‘The Office of The Insurance Ombudsman’, there has been no action or initiative taken Bajaj Allianz to settle the grievance, I have now communicated to Bajaj Allianz that due to unresponsive and prejudice attitude I have advise that further 15 days from the receipt to my communication to settle the matter, failing to do so would compel me to knock door of the law and my goodwill gesture of settling the matter with refund of premium with interest stands void.

I had taken an overseas mediclaim from ICICI Lombard, got an heart attack in u.k. and went through baloon angioplasty in u.k. The company did not pay the claim, had gone to district consumer court, but appeal was rejected on foolish ground that the policy effective from 24th may, comes in effect from 12 in the midnight and not after 23 midnight. Now I wish to appeal in the state commission,kindly advice within howmany days can i apply from the date of judjement. The judjement came on 10th march.

We bought a flat in Thane and got possession for the same in 2010. Our flat has a super built up area of 1079 sqft. The builder is now asking for us to purchase the parking space at an exorbitant amount. There are 132 flats in our building and only 59 parking slots. As per what I have been informed the same has to be provided by the builder. They have given us 3 months time to purchase the slot after which the prices will be hiked again. Kindly guide me with what can be done in this situation.

This email is complaint again net fraud or cyber cheating happening in noida the company mentioned bellow. This in interest of consumer & public. I wish there was some reactive action. Sir you being the highest level. I would hope you would take the strictest action as soon as possible. As the cyber crime is not only restricted to one city or state I’M writing the email as to protect our citizen from further fraud & also because the operation head quarter of the company mention bellow are located in noida but they can cheating allow over india including our city.
I recently purchased an nikon collpix S3100 Camera and A nokia X2-02 Mobile from timtara.Com for rs.8,379. Offered and boast about free shipping + home delivery as well as the promise to deliver in 8 to 10 days.
I ordered on 09-03-2012 has not yet been delivered as on 29-03-2012 and also in-spite of several mails querying about the order delivery, there has been no response to my mails. The strangest thing about their site is that they have only one contact number which is almost literally unreachable.
Few thing to be noted are
1) the call center no are impossible to connect.
2) the no cod as many of the website do cash on delivery these days.
3) there thousands of complaint on website like
http:/Www.Grahakseva.Com ,
http:/Www.Consumercourt.In ,
http:/Www.Mouthshut.Com,
4) the value of all complaints is hundreds of corers.
5) all employs are also involved in this fraud
6) they day by day increasing the marketing & fraud.
So i want to register a compliant against Timtara.com (infosecure

They refused to refund my fee of Rs. 18,000 on the plea that it is already written in admission form that no fee will be refunded in any case. The session has not been started yet and not even a single class has been attended by my son. Please guide me.

An order was placed for a study cum computer table and a book shelf with Big Bazaar, branch at Seven Seas Mall Vadodara on 26th jan., 2012 during the promotional offer period (Big Bazaar Sabse Saste 5 Din Republic Day 2012) from 26th Jan, 2012 to 30th jan, 2012. Entire payment of Rs. 6498.00 for the said articles was made at the time of placing the order and the home delivery of the goods was to be made within a period of 10 to 15 days from the date of booking. As neither the said articles were delivered nor any phone call was received from the customer care / concerned section of Big Bazaar much after the
defined period, I called up the concerned person (Mr. Jayesh Panchal) who informed that the goods have been dispatched from Bombay and shall be delivered in the next five days. Later when I called him up repeatedly on 22nd, 23rd 24th, 25th and 26th Feb., 2012, his phone was found to be switched off.
As my phone calls were not being picked up perforce I made a visit to Big Bazaar on 27th Feb, 2012 covering a distance of more than 15 kms.
through heavy traffic. The customer care executive Mr Jaideep noted my complaint and asked me to contact Incharge, Customer Care –Mr. Malcom- after 1330 Hrs.
When contacted Mr. Malcom promised to look into the matter and informed me that he will try to solve my problem. I told him that it’s not my problem rather; the problem is at his end; kindly deliver the furniture articles at the earliest and solve the problem. Since then I have been regularly calling Mr. Malcom on different dates viz. 5th , 6th, 7th 8th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 16th and 21st of March 2012 (practically every day) but every time the response I get is
‘We have not received your articles Sir and we are trying our best Sir’. The fact is – the articles still remain undelivered to me till date.
Even lodging of the complaint with future value retail telephonically (tele no. 18002002255) on 14th March 2012 (phone picked up by Ms Bhagyashree of frvl) as well through email at sharewithus@fvrl.in has had no significance inspite of their assurance of successfully addressing the complaint within 24 hours.
The worst part is that they –the customer care section – doesn’t provide telephone numbers of their higher ups when asked, and the whole issue remains clouded up from their superiors who may be in a position to find an appropriate solution.

In 2008 I sold my flat in Mumbai and migrated to USA. I went to ICICI bank to put some money in fixed deposits. Total Rs 5 lac. Mr Vikas an employee took the cheque and invested the money on life insurance policy I called him the next day asking him to stop the policy but he refused to do so I returned to USA and then sent him sevveral e-mails but he went further and mailed the policy documents to address that I had sold the property .I gave them a cheque of Rs 5 lac but he amount invested was 430000. Rs 70000 was a commission to m\Mr Vikas which I was not informed about.I forged mysignature and misled me. My brother who is my legal caretaker went several times to the bank and returned tthe policy but they just prolonged the matter and convinced us that we will get good returns even if we did not pay the other 2 premiums . I was in mumbai in 2012 Jan and visited the bank as I noticed that the account had been foreclosed and so I wrote a letter to IRDA and ICICI opened the case and asked for evidence ettc etc which I forwarded to them and then they come with a final decision
that they dont have enough evidence and proof . Which I do have I have all e-mails and evidence. But I am In the US and time difference is causing a lot of stress. I am mentally disturbed its a bug amount my hard earned money. I purchased a flat in 2008 in mumbai closer to my Brother so it could be taken care of and took a loan andpaying an interest amount. i woluld like to know how I can go abut to get my money back should I got go consumer court can you please guide me.
