TM is the country’s leading integrated telecommunications company in Malaysia. Or so they claim.
Many years ago, before I moved out from my Mother’s hotel, I subscribed to a TM Net line so I could practise patience with slow internet access. My monthly bill never showed more than a hundred ringgit and in fact, stayed much lower than that. I paid my bills religiously.
When I could take no more of bad service in the hotel, I moved out. And cancelled that internet line.
Lo and behold! Five years later, I got a letter from TM saying I owed them more than 700 bucks. As far as I knew, I had no outstanding bills with them. I called them immediately to dispute but according to their records, I definitely owed them money.
I chose to ignore it because no way was I paying for something I did not use.
Then one day, two big rough looking thugs showed up at my office. Sure scared the living daylights out of my secretary. They claimed they were TM’s debt collectors. Fine – I told them it wasn’t my bill but they kept insisting I pay up. Subsequently, they kept calling me to harrass me with threats, smashed my windscreen, broke my side view car mirror (I have no proof but….), they followed me everywhere.
At that point, I couldn’t believe that a quasi-governmental organisation could behave in such a way. So I went to see them at the TM headquarters. I pleaded innocence. And then I saw the files. Files of thirty debt collectors, all working for TM.
I can’t remember what happened exactly now but I eventually paid them off to stop the harrassment. It wasnt fair.
My brother just received a letter last week from TM saying he owed them 3,ooo Ringgit for a whole year’s worth of phone calls. My brother still lives with my Mother and he does NOT have a phone line. Yet, on the phone bill that TM sent him, it was clearly his name but not his address. Someone had used his identification number and had access to his details somehow and applied for a phone line under his name. The address was in Subang. My brother has never lived in Subang. He is now going through the same process with TM but so far no debt collectors yet. Just investigations…….
Scary.
