Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to lodge a complaint against Justdial and its representatives, Mr. Chandrakant Tiwari (Key Accounts/Marketing Sales Team) and Mr. Shailendra Revekar (Manager), regarding misleading and incomplete information provided, unauthorized listing creation, and overcharging.

On February 13th, 2025, I contacted Mr. Chandrakant Tiwari for an upgrade to my existing plan. However, I was informed that I would need to pay an additional two months' deposit along with a one-month advance EMI, which led me to decline the upgrade. At this point, Mr. Tiwari suggested an alternative – the mobile banner plan. He facilitated a conversation with his senior for pricing negotiations, ultimately agreeing on Rs. 11,800. However, upon later verification, I discovered that the actual cost of the mobile banner was Rs. 9,000, meaning I was overcharged by Rs. 2,800.

Furthermore, Mr. Tiwari later called me around 8 PM, requesting an alternative number and GST details as part of the activation process. I provided my personal number 8898946896 as the alternative. Shortly after, I received an SMS on my personal number stating that my mobile banner was under process. To my shock, I found that Mr. Tiwari had created a new listing under my personal number under the same business name without my knowledge or consent. Upon checking the Justdial app, I noticed that two listings for "Siddhivinayak Consultant" existed, which was entirely unacceptable.

I immediately contacted Mr. Tiwari to confront him about the unauthorized listing, but he attempted to cover up his actions. The following morning, I received a verification call from Justdial’s department for new business verification and application installation. This confirmed my suspicion that Mr. Tiwari had fraudulently created a new business listing using my personal number 8898946896.

Despite my repeated calls for over half an hour, Mr. Tiwari ignored my attempts to reach him. When he finally answered, I confronted him about his unethical practices. He then connected me in a conference call with his manager, Mr. Shailendra Revekar, who supported Mr. Tiwari’s actions, claiming that certain information is hidden from clients. This contradicts information I received from multiple Justdial employees, including the Sales and Customer Service departments, who confirmed that existing clients can upgrade their plans without requiring a new listing.

It is evident that Mr. Chandrakant Tiwari and Mr. Shailendra Revekar manipulated the process to falsely show a new client acquisition and payment while misleading me and causing financial and reputational harm. Such fraudulent actions cannot be tolerated.

I have solid proof, including call recordings of conversations with Mr. Tiwari and Mr. Revekar, as well as screenshots of the mobile banner price (Rs. 9,000) and my payment of Rs. 11,800. I demand strict legal and disciplinary action against both individuals for their unethical conduct.

Additionally, I am escalating this matter to the Vashi Police Station and the Commissioner of Police, Navi Mumbai, to initiate legal proceedings. I expect Justdial to take immediate corrective actions, refund the overcharged amount, and ensure such malpractices do not occur in the future.

I await your prompt response and resolution of this matter. Failing to receive a satisfactory response, I will be forced to take further legal action through the Consumer Court and other appropriate legal channels.

Sincerely,
Ganesh Shivaji Chavan

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Misleading Services, Poor Customer Support and Unauthorised EMI Charges

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing on behalf of UniQ InfoTech (or: I am writing as a customer) to formally complain about multiple serious issues we have experienced with your service.

1. Misleading leads and fake inquiries
We were promised qualified business leads, but receive an overwhelming number of fake or irrelevant enquiries (around 99% are non-genuine or fall into inappropriate categories). This has wasted our time and resources.

2. Lack of clarity on plans and EMI policy
Your plan details, monthly EMI policy, and termination terms were not clearly explained at the time of sign-up. We were not informed of the full payment commitment or cancellation procedure.

3. Poor catalogue/design service
The catalogue/profile created for us was not designed professionally and does not reflect the standard promised in your marketing materials.

4. Unprofessional and rude customer service
When we raised these concerns with customer care, staff responses were rude and unhelpful. We feel ignored and trapped despite repeated complaints.

5. Unauthorised continuation of EMIs and OTP-based registration
Even after submitting written requests to stop EMIs, the bank has been unable to halt payments. Furthermore, we understand that your representatives may have completed registration using an OTP without clearly communicating termination policy or obtaining our informed consent.

We request the following corrective actions within 14 days of receipt of this letter:

- Immediate investigation into our account and lead-generation quality, and corrective measures to stop fake/irrelevant inquiries.
- Clear written explanation of the plan terms, EMI schedule, cancellation/termination policy, and refund/adjustment options.
- Refund or adjustment for charges related to periods where services were not provided as promised.
- Immediate suspension of further EMIs until the matter is resolved and written confirmation that no further charges will be taken.
- Formal apology and assurance of staff retraining to improve customer handling.
- Details of the process and evidence regarding how our registration was completed (including any OTPs recorded, and who authorised them).

Please treat this as a formal grievance. If we do not receive a satisfactory response within 14 days, we will escalate the complaint to relevant consumer protection authorities, inform our bank to pursue a chargeback/dispute, and consider legal options.

Account details:
- Registered name: UniQ InfoTech (or your name)
- Registered mobile/email: [your mobile/email]
- Customer ID (if available): [customer id]
- Date of service/registration: [date]

We expect prompt acknowledgement of this letter and a clear timeline for resolution.

Yours sincerely,
[UniQ InfoTech]
