Broadband company threatening for non payment of bills what to do


18-Aug-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
I had been using reliance broadband for 5 years. In last year April, it stopped working. After series of complaint, they told be it could never be resolved. Therefore, I made a request for disconnection in June, and they finally disconnected in August. But, a month later, they sent me a bill for May, June, July and August. I explained everything clearly but they never listened and asked me to pay. Later, I got a couple of calls where people identifying as lawyer from Delhi consumer courtand threatened me with law suit and arrest if I don't pay. I refused. Today, I got a call from a person identifying himself as a lawyer from consumer court in Delhi. He threatened me with dire consequence and sent a SMS stating I have to pay 15000 fine in court. My doubt is 1) Are they really lawyers who call me? 2)Should I be worried if they send a legal notice? 3) How should I handle if I receive such calls?

Many people have come up with such complaints against Reliance, Airtel, etc. You are the person who can approach the consumer court, not the company. The persons who called you do not seem to be real advocates. You can take your matter to the consumer court in Chennai at a very nominal court fee. You may be able to claim damages and compensation from the company for the mental agony
