Dear Sir,
Greetings..
I am Hemant from Bangalore and just need your help to advice me.
I was the customer of Tikona broadband since June 2014 in Bangalore. All the payment I made in advance every three months.
I can't explain, how the horrible services I faced with Tikona. So many times net was not working and I called several times to customer care, but no responce, if they pick up the call just will say wait I wl check it out and sudden they will disconnect the line. Again try and try but can't get the line.This was become daily routine.
On 6th of March I got a mail from Tikona saying that, "Your current bill of Rs.224 is overdue. Consider this a gentle reminder for you to make this payment so that you can continue to enjoy our services."
This was the same line.
I don't know what was that amount ? called and asked them, again same story they said, some charges are there, which you have to pay.
Then lastly I got fed up and called them several times and said I want to discontinue the net connection. A lady who was on phone said to me, You write the mail at customercare@tikona.in then we wl accept.
I wrote a mail on 9th of March 2015 to discontinue the net connection, but all the mails were getting bounce. Still its happening the same, all the problems they have like calls problem, mail problem, customer care problem, service problem etc.
Lastly one mail reched to them and they replied back on 10th of March 2015 with this letter mentioned below,

I made all the payment online and was waiting for confirmation for disconnection.
I called them and said to take back the wires and all. No body came to my house to collect the same.
Again I got a mail from them saying that, pls return the all devices like Modem etc. and they mentioned one mob. no. to call them to come and collect it.
I don't know why they are asking for Modem which I have not at all taken from them. It was purchaed earlier by me."
Till now no body came to collect the wires and adopter. Everymonth they are sending bills and adding monthly amount. We have not used the net from 9th March 2015 itself.
And letter says with bill 1500/- you have to pay for Modem which you failed to return.This amount they have added in current month bill.
Today I got a call from a person and he said, I am from Delhi high court . Tikona company has filed a case agianst you, pls come and pay the amount of Rs. 70000/- in Delhi.
Immediatly I called to Tikona Associate no. which was mentioned in Tikona mail and asked them again to take the wires and adopter. A lady by name Roopa said, will send some body today but no body came to my house.
Again I tried to call them and a person by name Karthik picked up the call, I said some body is calling me from delhi and saying he is from Delhi high court and Tikona has filed the case against me, pls come to delhi and pay the amount of Rs. 70000/-
Then Karthik said, no prblm, simply they will call, pls send me your User Id and ph no. in my mobile, will close the issues.
I did the same and after that they sent me a local Bangalore no. to call them. I am trying that no. till evening but no response.
I am really fed up with such type of services and harassments from Tikona.
Pls advice me Sir, What to do?
Best Rgds,
Hemant
