This a clear case of deficiency of service and unfair trade practice.

So get the remedy and get back you money , a case before the consumer forum can very well be filed.

Once you file such case apply for refund of your money with interests, damages and compensation all of which in most likelihood is to be allowed by the Forum.

The case to be filed in consumer forum is well within time.

To file the case before the consumer forum you need not send any legal notice . rather the notice may warn them about your line of action which better be avoided.

The payments made by you and services sought for is enough to prove your case.

The legal notice would be sent by your lawyer and it would be sent stating the case and threaten legal action if the service provider does not either deliver the service or refund the amount.

The case would be filed under the consumer protection act its relevant sections.

A professional consultant took service fees and did not delivered on promised service after taking fees.

A consultant is expected to render consultation alone, however if the consultant agreed for further services on the basis of the service charges or the nominal fees as per the terms, then he is obliged to complete task to the maximum extent that is possible by him.

If you have evidence for deficiency of service then you may issue a legal noitice and demand refund of the fee

Service subscribed and fees paid is 1+ year past.. Should this be any issue ?

This will not be an issue provided you have evidence.

The legal notice should be send under section of law and what should be expected ?

You do not have to quot any law or section of law for demanding refund of the service fee in the legal notice.

What all document should i have as proof ? His receipt/invoice for service and email which promises services to be offered.

Yes,besides these, if there any other relevant proof.

Can you take up case for me ? i mean can u help me in sending this legal notice and proceeding further.

can choose any particular advocate and contact him/her directly with this question instead of posting this in general.
