  • Why we are unable to resolve all the consumer complaints?

    You can find many open consumer complaints at our complaints page here. There are many closed consumer complaints as well on this page but it looks majority of the complaints posted at our platform are open. Often we receive questions from users that why there are so many open consumer complaints at Voxya and if we could not resolve these open complaints, whats the guarantee that we will resolve new consumer complaints? We are happy that you asked. This question is frequently asked, so we are writing this post to answer all such questions.

    When we receive any fresh consumer complaint at Voxya, first we try to validate it by asking questions, collecting evidences, understanding resolution required and researching on the company. The actual efforts for resolving any consumer complaint starts at much later stage, when these all pre-requisites gets completed. This validation stage of resolving complaint, is the stage where most of the consumer complaints fails. Lets understand the factors which affects resolution of the consumer complaints :

    1. Time-barred complaints
    We can not resolve a consumer complaint if it is too old. Many times it happens that consumers are posting very old cases at Voxya. They are posting it just to vent their frustration, without any motive of getting resolution. We are unable to resolve such cases because we can not attract the attention of the company for obvious reasons.

    2. Insufficient evidence
    This is the most common reason for unable to resolve a consumer complaint. We have found that only few complaints have all the evidences to support their case. Though we ask for more evidences from consumers for each new complaint but most of the time, we don’t really get sufficient evidences from the consumers. In absence of evidences, we can not present your case to the companies.

    3. Complaints against Individuals
    If you are posting a complaint against any individual, it is most likely to fail. Because it is very difficult to trace individuals and get favorable resolution from them. Nobody knows them and they are mostly not public figures so they do not care about their reputation. In contrary to this, companies are sensitive to their customers and would go extra mile to resolve consumer complaints.

    4. Un-responsive consumer
    Simply posting your complaint at Voxya will not get you desired results. You need to pro-actively involved in every stage of the resolution process. Often we see that consumers are not responding to our queries and are unable to provide sufficient evidences on time, but still they want their consumer complaints to get resolved at Voxya. Please note that we can not resolve your complaint, if you are un-responsive.

    5. Ambiguous resolution demands
    Though we have been successful in resolving genuine consumer complaints at our platform but that does not mean that we can get any resolution for your dispute! We convey all your demands to companies. So, posting unreasonable resolution demands may switch off your company, thinking it to be unrealistic. Similarly, it is also important for you to provide what exactly you require as resolution for your problem. Sometimes, we are unable to understand what resolution you want for your complaint? So, please be very specific what you want the company to do in order to resolve your compalint.

    6. Lack of Social Sharing
    Last but not least, we have seen that very few users are sharing their posted complaints in the social network. We encourage this to put maximum pressure on the brands to resolve your consumer complaints quickly. If you are not sharing your complaints in social media then the companies will not get enough social pressure to resolve complaints. After all, this is the basic concept of our platform!

    So guys, though we are putting 100% efforts to resolve your consumer complaints but your active participation is also required at every stage of the resolution process.

  • Lodge consumer complaint in consumer forum & consumer court

    Felicitations to our development team! They have added one more module in our Voxya platform. As you all know that Voxya is a platform for resolving consumer complaints quickly, so we have extended the platform to include one more obvious user in the ecosystem, i.e. Lawyers. Now, advocates can register on our website and can provide assistance to needy consumers. They can lodge consumer complaint in consumer forum and consumer court on consumer’s behalf. Presently, there are no charges for consumers to post & resolve their consumer complaints online at Voxya. Similarly, consumer forum lawyers will be able to register free on the website.

  • We resolve consumer complaints in India only

    Three days ago we received a consumer complaint filed against the company Book Depository by someone named MYAITAZIN from Thailand. You can check the complaint here http://voxya.com/view-complaint/refund-not-received/152

    Since the company, Book Depository, is based in United Kingdom so we had no means to resolve the complaint due to cross-border complexities. Though it is a good sign that consumers in other countries have started using and trusting our platform Voxya to resolve their complaints but due to limited resources, we would like to stick to resolving Indian consumer complaints only at this time. I hope it is in the interest of our platform initially. Later, if we have enough resources, we would love to help the consumers from other countries too.

    Anyways, we immediately contacted the customer via email and told him that our platform is only available to the Indian consumers as of now. But as we love to help consumers so inspite of our limitations, we tried to contact Book Depository via email and sent customer’s complaint. Once again we are grateful to the customer that he found our platform worthy to submit his complaint. Though supporting consumer complaints from other countries is still not in our plan but who knows we may soon start our operations in other countries too. Keep posting your consumer complaints at voxya.com to keep us motivated!
