You can get a compensation of more than 40k for all the hardship you suffered.” A second commented, “This happened to me too. UC’s guy broke my RO. UC just reimbursed 3k for the damage.” A third shared, “All these companies make sure, that we get tired and tired of complaining and taking our plea out. Denying that it wasn’t the fault of the technician comes as the first step. They have started. This seriously needs to go consumer court.” “What were the stated terms and conditions while booking the service? They need to revisit their policies and provide full reimbursement of the damages,” posted another. A fifth said, “Hey Akash, I would recommend going to the consumer court for this.” Hindustan Times has reached out to Urban Company seeking a response on this matter.
