@olamoney_in Your team did finally email me and they resolved the penalty issue and closure of Ola Money Postpaid. Thank you.

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

1. I've had issues with @Olacabs in the past,but my latest is unbelievable. I booked a ln Ola late last year. The amount was Rs. 873. I added the required money into my Ola wallet.
I thought the payment had gone through. I got no emails or messages from Ola. contd..

@olamoney_in I am unable to DM you. You can email me on [email protected]

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

@ola_supports I am unable to DM this id.

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

@ola_supports Oh, @ola_supports now wakes up, since this is on social media? How come you didn't address my emails asking for help? Do go there and check what the issue is.

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

@Olacabs 5 .
b. Why did you not use my Wallet for the dues?
c. Why was no email or other message about the dues sent to me before yesterday?
d. The same day you also threatened me on phone recorded messages about reports to CIBIL, and a collection agent coming to my home?
contd.

@Olacabs 4. I finally used the app to pay Rs. 1073 (it tried to charge me a surcharge for card payment, so I used UPI). Now @Ola, I want answers and actions:
a. Why was Ola Money Postpaid applied. I had written asking you to deactivate this service which I had never signed up for, ever.

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

@Olacabs 3. The app wouldn't let me do anything because of the "overdue charges". Calls to their support said the same thing. Tried emailing, no reply. Within a couple of hours, the app hasd added Rs. 100 more, and made the dues Rs. 1073! This is usury! contd.

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

@Olacabs 2. Yesterday, I suddenly got recorded message calls saying I had an overdue payment on Ola Money and it was being reported to CIBIL. When I checked, I saw that there was an overdue of Rs. 973 (873 + Rs. 100 as late fee) on Ola Postpaid, and Rs. 873 in my Ola wallet. contd.

@SwiggyCares Thank you for the refund. Would have really liked to get the product, but shall make other arrangements now. How was a GPS location at Cubbon Park generated from the address I provided?

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

1/2Had the strangest experience with @Swiggy just now. I booked a delivery from Koramangala on their website, entered my address and made the payment. Their delivery boy called me from Cubbon Park saying their app sent him there. I am not sure how that happened.

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

@SwiggyCares I have emailed you. Tried DMing using the link, but it doesn't work.

@bertyashley Great to see today's quiz. A cruciverbalist's treasure!

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

@C_P_Gurnani @khanna_smita @sujitbaksi @vrindapisharody @simmi_dhamija @anitagurnani It was a wonderful evening hosted by Anu and you. Great food, company and conversations.

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

@bertyashley 9/10. Feeling chuffed. The one I didn't know or guess was the guitar one.

@makemytrip Happy to state that @makemytrip got in touch with me and has reversed the convenience fee on the transaction. I hope they change their process to make sure others don't get these charges.

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

Feeling very cheated by @makemytrip. I recently booked 2 return tickets thru them. The dates needed to be changed, so I had to cancel 3 of the 4 legs. The site said 0 refund, and the breakup showed a cancellation fee + convenience fee + trip secure fee for each cancellation.

[Padma Parthasarathy @padmapa]

Beware of @makemytrip . They cheat customers in multiple ways.
