@karthi - Thats why its better to stay away from these rogues. Once, they approached me to take connection, but i found a lot of complaints about them and chased them out of my premises.

If the amount is meagre, just curse them and ignore it. there is no use in wasting the time as it will only cost you more. but if you have paid higher amount, lodge a complaint against them before the consumer court. Have all the materials ready before you proceed... 

Best of Luck

Tikona  Account No. 118475424 having Service ID 1106955507 has been terminated as on 11/9/2012.

 

 

Initially I opted this connection for 3 months paying full amount. Due to frustrated service, I requested to them terminate the connection after 2 months and they said that they will refund back my money. After several followup, I left hope. Recently two days back I got a message in my mobile saying that "You have Rs. 388 overdue, unless you clear your dues, will take legal action and a phone number (8963072238) is also mentioned for further clarification which is either busy or unreachable. Quite surprising..

Dear Karthi, 

With respect to the following particulars in your query, 

An Advocate spoke to me on 13-JUN-2013 and informed he is calling form Delhi high court and pay the pending amount 3000rs by the day itself or he will forward my case to the Delhi high court and take police action. He used 8505020570 this mobile no. It is100% Threatening with out any legal notice or information.

I add one from my side that, now a days it has become the practice of the private finance companies, telecom companies, as well as banks to take resort to such unethical recourse by threatening the layman by deception. The call the borrower or customer and pretend that they are calling from some police station at Delhi or that some Advocate is calling. However, it is totally bogus activity. In 99 percent matters neither the police would indulge into recovery of the companies. Further, Advocate or Law Practitioner who follows ethical practice per the legal profession will indulge into activity by calling the opposite party on phone call and threaten that party to adhere to the demands of his client. The act of these companies or banks, agencies only with a view to extort money from the innocent layman who are unaware of the basic legal structure. 

It may also happen in case of the borrowers or the defaulters that the person pretending to call from Police Station may ask to pay the dues forthwith with the concerned bank/ company and failure to do same will result in attachment and seizure of the property on the following day. 

I just make a point here that, our country is having a very good legal system and laws that no person can take law in his own hand to comply his own demands. Any company be it bank or any other company who seeks recovery of its dues must follow the due procedure of law by initiating appropriate legal recourse. The act resorted by these notorious banks and companies are not only unethical but also illegal. You may file appropriate complaint against such callers. 

Thanks and Regards,

Adv.Amit Anandrao Mahadeshwar

An interesting question here is that which court has jurisdiction i.e. the court in the consumer's state or the court where Tikona is headquartered? If the latter were true, then an advocate for Tikona can file a false case in Tikona's home state and then harass a consumer living in another state to attend court in the faraway place.

Also can the consumer file a case in his home state against Tikona?

These two questions can be also of help to many others reading this thread.

Hi,

Today I got a phone call from Tikona Lawyer stating court of non payment. The reason for not paying was the internet didn't work for two months and and I paid for a month. I finally managed to get disconnected without paying the last bill. I keep on reminding them to send me a revised bill for the last month but they didn't do it instead they threatened me to drag to court. I don't want to drag things to court so I finally paid the bill. But they way they did wasn't correct. I am open to speak to any of their team for the bill but none call me even after repeated call and finally they threatened me. My advise to all tikona customer is if you have another choice please go for it their network is the worst in India. Jai Hind

Tikona is very bad company. Their internet connection was so wrost and i asked them to close my account, but they still calling me everyday, sending SMS and coming to home for collection. This fraud company must be stopped. You can complain your issue to Department of Telecomunication. Website to file Public Grievances https://pgportal.gov.in/GrievanceNew.aspx

Tikona Ac: 1111419527

I got a call saying its a legal notice to pay Rs1500/- because I didn't submit the modem.

I submitted the modem long back to tikona collection agent, so that to avoid the fine.

Shall I pay the amount of Rs 1500/- ?

Hello All,

I have been facing similar issues with Tikona. Below are my details:

BAN: 124680057

User ID: 1113060200

When I placed my request for a new connection the service engineers were here at my home within 24 Hours to set everything up and activate my account They also took the installation charges and 2 months rental in advance. Unfortunately, they never cared about the problems I am facing with the network. I placed several requests regarding the technical issues I was facing, but the service I received was not at all satisfactory.

I finally decided to get rid of the service provider and placed several requests for a disconnection. My request was rejected as they said that they can still see usage in my Account. I sent them several email statings my MAC id and that there has been no usage associated with my MAC id and I am ready to pay any usage that you may see associated with my MAC id. They were never able to explain to me why I am still being charged for the service not used by me.

The customer care whenever contacted told me to ignore the messages and emails I am getting for payment of my outstanding amount as I am not liable to pay anything. After all this, I received a letter from Halai & Co (Advocates)  threatning me to pay the outstanding amount of Rs. 1673.

Can anyone please guide me on how to deal with such an unprofessional company? How can I make sure that they stop messaging and mailing me and my connection is terminated?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I am also getting reminders from Tikona after disconnecting the Line. Though I had sent mail request for disconnection , they have kept alive connection and sending bills. I have not used a single day for which TIKONA has used. 

TIKONA services are very poor, they never attended for service after repaetedly lodging complaint. They will simly harrase for money and send threaten with legal notices. 

I sincerly request to new users be careful if you before choosing TIKONA services, sure you will land in trouble and frustration.
