EDIT: Updated Website: http://www.corecentre.co.in/

i coudn't beleive my ears when this Resturant Owner called me up minutes back................wokay ........let me explain

My Complaint - i went on this website ---- www.corecentre.org

Lodged a complain against the Resturant Owners for charging me Rs. 5 extra on a mineral bottle whose Mrp was Rs 15 .

Place -Manali,Himachal pradesh

Resturant name -Sa-ba resturant ,Mall road

My Action- just came Across this website www.corecentre.org , went there lodged a complain.

Consequense- This guy Praveen,the owner Called me up jst 15 mintues back,profusely regreting for the incident and literally beseeching to take back this complain,even offered to send to me a money draft (Ice Upgrade ..huh?) .

My demand -Stop this harrasment of customers , he said he will work on it With immediate effect.

Although i know he won't just implement it like a Saint , but still 'maine uske pench(screws) tight kar diye',now he would think twice before Fleecing his Customers.


i never thought my complain would ever be processed , u know i though these rustic judiciary Processes would take ages and stuff.....like " paanch ruphe hee to hain yaar jaane de"......kya complain . kaarna .........i went ahead with it ,now iam more Confident Consumer ...........

Unbelieveable is this happenin in INDIA...

[aZa]

Faheemmmmm this is RIPLEYS stuff !!! INSANE!!!

[s0uljah]

Commendable that such level of consumer services is sinking into the system in our country!!! I have a strange feeling SAM might be spearheading the training program for Corecentre

[black12rr]

WOW ! ....man i did not know sumthing like this existed . thanks for letting every one know.

PS : So ICE came ?

The biggest mistake we make about our country is that we think i can compete with the developed economies. But lets remember there is a long way to go.

At the same time, its not the worst place to live where only corruption and underworld rules and where netas stuff their pockets.



India is going through a phase between the two extremes. While we may never make India compete with UK, US, France etc. We have our own Socially developed economy.

And cases like the one SPEEDOFREAK mentiones are many. Its just that we need to start believing in ourselves.

Hey Speedofreak, good to hear that you have had a good experience from a government organisation. But just make sure, that if you dont hear from them the next time, there may just be a communication glitch possibility too.

Thank you so much for the link. I've been looking for somethig like this for ages now, and I've a;ready filed a complaint against Asianet Dataline.

MODS, please sticky this or the URL, for other members.

[jkdas]

wow! thats something which is tought to believe! Anyway good to know thats things are improving.

[abdriver2000]

Thanks for the info dude!

I have also lodged a complaint against Wasan Motors. Lets see what happens.
Here is my complaint
-----


I purchased an Indica XETA GLS on 21 Mar 06. The insurance quote mentioned was Rs. 11522. Actual premium paid was Rs. 11312. Dealer is yet to return the difference of Rs. 210

I have learnt from reliable sources that this is a common malpractice of car dealers. Some of my friends have got refunds.

Dealer puts off the refund by giving silly excuses. Last one was that boss is honeymooning abroad; hence no one can sign the cheque!

Also the promised accessories were of inferior quality. Car was not washed on delivery. Tools wer thrown around in the boot. Clock was not working.

Despite giving them a 9/10 customer satisfaction rating, this is what I have to face!


Dealer shaves off few hundreds on each car's premium.

In my case it is Rs. 210

Wasan claims to have sold 10000 cars last year. You can do the math!

[speedofreak]

thing is its WE have to do it,if u have been harrassed by anyone just make sure do your wee bit whatsoever u can ......its because the communcation has taken new high wih the advent of Internet, our so desperate media ...other channnels.......

[SRK]

WOW!!!
I am proud to be an India...
Mera Bharat Mahan 100 me se 80 Bay-Imaan!!!!!!!!!
Baki 20 to Ache hai.......

[BunnyPunia]

things r changin for the good!
thanks to sharing, nice website. i m sure many of us r going to make full use of it

[nishant_kingpin]

Thanks for bringing the above to everyone's knowledge. I personally was looking for something of this sort too. I called the Toll Free number a few days ago for "Jago Grahak Jago" but no one picked up and felt its not going to work.

Lets see if this can be a better experience.

[RX135]

I won't jump to conclusion based on 1 experience. There are few others on this thread, who have logged complaints. Shall wait to see how they respond back. I hope, they will update this thread if there is any update.

[anupamsinha]

Great info and thanks for sharing speedofreak.

Couldn't understand where's the mistake.

Any logic why we may never compete with them.
