Nomad claims for a returned modem!

Nomad, the “high reliable speed” internet service provider of Mauritius is back in the headlines of yashvinblogs.com!

A friend, Nayar got a “Mise en demeure” legal notice today by post. (Sorry for the very bad quality of the image)

The letter has been issued by Sogerec, a company which provides legal services for getting money back.
(More info and better translation on their web site, lol)

Nomad is claiming the following :

IMPAYE : RS 7071.74
CLAUSE PENALE : RS 848.61
TOTALE : RS 7920.35
COUT DU MODEM : RS 10,000

That makes a total of Rs7920.35 if the modem is returned and Rs10,000 additional if the modem is not returned.

But the best part in this story is that the rabbit modem has been returned long ago in September 2009
(See proof below – bad quality again).

They even included the following at the end of their letter :

“SI TOUTEFOIS VOUS AVEZ DEJA EFFECTUE CE REGLEMENT, NOUS COMPTONS SURE VOTRE COMPREHENSION ET NOUS VOUS REMERCIONS DE NE PAS TENIR COMPTE DE LA PRESENTE.”

What’s their problem?

Can’t they trace that out instead of sending those letters to people living peacefully now?

Nomad, my worst internet experience

And all ex-Nomad users know that the company does not accept the modem till you haven’t settled all the unpaid amount. It is a fact, most (if not all) of the Nomad users had a very very bad experience while trying to use that wimax powered internet connectivity. I have blogged loads of articles about Nomad. The Director of that time even asked me for a meeting to talk about my bad experience since it was making a lot of buzz on the Mauritian websphere. I was even called for a second meeting with the Person in Charge of the Comms of the company but this interview was never held.

Months ago, I switched to MyT and I can confirm : “Nomad s*cks!”

Anyone got the same letter as above? or more experiences to share? Feel free!

  11. I just contacted Nomad now. Their number was unreachable before. The stupid wait music was heard and then it got disconnected.
    When they took the phone finally @1705. I asked them why did i get such a letter. They told me to call tomorrow between 0800-1600 and ask for Ashwin so that he could check my file.

    I waited nearly 20 mins on the phone in total: My money is flowing. Would they pay for it if they say ‘Sorry Sir, it was a mistake’.

    That company needs to perish

Did anyone ever tell the people at Nomad that it takes only a few second to update their whatever rubbish system they are using? Or do they still use filling cabinets to keep tons of papers?

  14. A friend got this letter too from them when he had nomad some years back.
    In fact in hiscase,

    1. He bought the modem. So normally he does not have return it back
    2. He called them to cancel his subscription and he did not have any amount due but some months later, they sent him this letter saying he owes Rs2500.
    3. They did not want to give explanation. and my friend went to pay at Sogerec since he had no written proof of the cancellation.

    In brief, NOMAD S@CK!!! WORST BUSINESS MANAGEMENT IN MAURITIUS

  18. Hi Yashvin I got one yay I am lucky person indeed LOL!!!!
    By the way are they dumb or something like that? I have written them a letter saying that I will not pay for the amount due because I have not got satisfaction with their services… I have also claimed that I will not go to ebene to return their equipments because I got other much more fruitful activities and I told them to send one of their agents to come and take back all their equipments. Also I told them in my letter that it was impossible to get in contact with them because their customer care services always put me on hold.

    This was what I wrote in the letter. Now one day, guess I was lucky, I got hold of one of their agents on the phone and he transfered the call to someone who got authorities I guess, he told me that since I have not been satisfied with the services, he will do a credit note to cancel the invoice.And also that he can send an agent to check if everything is ok with the equipments but the agents cannot take back their equipments!Wow what is the logic behind that?Moreover he told me that I could have called to inform them of my problem? AM I suppose to wait for hours on the phone (because they automatically put me on hold there)? Then the genius gave me an idea! Send a mail? What how? Internet not ok! Mail not ok! Is that difficult to understand for him that when there is no internet there is no access to email?

  21. Nomad is a typical example of how NOT to conduct business. They are alienating all their clients and possible clients who are aware of what is going on in Mauritius. A total lack of client relations and a disastrous administration. They are a sinking ship, if there was better competition on the local IP market they would have gone long ago. This is a failed attempt on their part to recover revenue. Furthermore, in certain cases they are probably acting illegally by making false claims but a lawyer from consumer protection could confirm this.
