Can anyone please guide me where to post complain for weights and measures online?
Poonam: Navjot, I did not know about this much. As far as my knowledge, all online consumer complaints are made at core.nic.in. But I did a quick search and found this.
1. Weights and measures complaint is made to legal metrology department.
2. Weights and measures law is on this governement Web site: http://fcamin.nic.in/Events/EventDetails.asp?EventId=1505&Section=Annual%20Report&ParentID=0&child_continue=1&child_check=0 Weights and Measues is section number 6 on this page.
3. Here is a Mumbai Mirror story that has a legal metrology department number as 22023354 at the end of the story. I think this number is for Mumbai city.
If you give me time, I will search metrology department details specific for you city.
Mumbai Mirror story is at: http://www.mumbaimirror.com/net/mmpaper.aspx?page=article§id=15&contentid=2007082420070824030723500c2659d2b&pageno=1

i have a nokia 5310 express music mobile phone. Not even 9 months i have used this phone and so many problems have arised.
I have given this mobile thrice in warranty but no action has been taken and the same problem has been persisted without any improvement. I even requested them to replace my piece but i did not get any proper response from the customer care department.
My phone’s bluetooth isn’t working, i cant talk properly to other person due voice cut, my phone gets disconnected automatically, and lastly there still exists keypad problems in my phone.
After looking at all these problems no solution has been brought about by the Nokia people.
I hope u will surely help me out and bring a solution to this problem as soon as possible because i jus cant afford to visit the nokia care centre every now and then.
with regards,

i have sent consginment through your services vide booking no. F04221602 dated 14 .3.09 from deihi to lucknow but not delevered til 19.3.09
May kindly intimate about the matter that if any of the persona is selling the olive oil of one of the private company without any bill and the mark printed as Govt. of India on the same product. Then in this case being a consumer what is supposed to do by me about the product.
Please clarify that what could be done by me in the public interest.
I guess without bill you can’t do much to show as proof. But you can find more witnesses or a group of people and can lodge a case in consumer court in public interest. Report this private company in online complaint first at http://core.nic.in.

Well I had heard that no mobile operator organization can charge a customer any Tax if the subscriber is going ahead with the easy recharge? is it true? and if yes, then why every operator is doing that or it’s just the shopkeepers playing up?
Why there’s a rate variation in the rates of the car manufaturing company’s on their websites and in the dealerships? if this is illegal can this be reported?

Hello Sir/Madam,
I want to file a complaint against the well known Nokia Inc. for selling me faulty mobile phone.Where and whom should I approach so that I can lodge a complaint?
Thanking you.

Can anybody guide me to whom I can file a complaint on my cable TV service provider(Hathway cable & Datacom Pvt Ltd). The service provder charges hefty amount as deposit(1500Rs) and as monthly subscription(250 to 300Rs) for providing basic cable services. The quality of signal is very pathetic and their customer service numbers are never accessible. If we complain about the signal quality when they come down to the residence to collect the money and request them to rectify the issue and inquire about the procedure to include a popular channel in the basic band, the cable operator replies ‘This is what we will provide. If you want keep it, else disconnect the cable’. This is totally unfair as they very well know that there are no competitors in this space and customers have to live with the same service provider. Can anybody please guide me on whom I can complain to against the atrocity from the cable service provider.

HI,
We have bought a Rot iron bed and sofa set from hypercity vashi branch, while purchasing lot of promises were made for product quality and 1 year warranty and replacemnt if there was defect…all these promises were made, we have used it for hardly 10 days and the rot iron bed is chipping and when it chips what i see is rusted iron beneath it, when i go back to Hpercity they turn back to say they dont guarantee furniture and after a long argument, they finally got convinced to come and chek the bed and if possible they will repair it, if reparing is not the solution then they wont be giving any replacement.
I am very disaapointed with this. tell me where should i go with this problem.

Hi All,

Since we seperated, neither of us made the repayment to these Banks. (Personal Loans from Barclays, ICICI & GE Country Wide). I never received any call since 2 years for the repayment. Now all these have come to me together.
I am geting threatening calls from the colletion agencies. They threaten me of coming to my home & office.
I am going through a mental trauma.
Can some one please HELP ME…
