Hindustan Times — DELIVERY CHARGES FOR YEARLY SUNCRITIONS

I have booked for a yearly subscription with an amount of Rs.699 through one Hindustan times executives who visited our home and explained me that they are collecting CHEQUES only and NO CASH as its a scheme announced by HT to their regular customers and after honouring of the cheques HT will send us yearly subscription coupon which we have give it to our local vendor on every month, While enquiring about any other charges he assured me that NO OTHER CHARGES HAS TO BE PAID IN THIS REGARD AS THIS IS SCHEME IS BEING ANNOUNCED BY HT HENCE THE VENDORS WILL NOT BE ASKING THE SAME ALSO.Ht will provide all the benefits to them. On receipt of the coupons when i show this to Mr. ARVIND PANDEY whose name has been printed on it for papers he simply say that we have to pay an additional amounting to Rs.180/- ( full yearly )as delivery charges else he will not provide us the news paper i have to collect the papers my own from the site where it comes and they are not responsible for the commitments made by the HT EXECUTIVES. I have to deliver the cheques directly to him then only he is liable for the schemes announced by HT else an amount of Rs.180/- has to be paid to them. He also gave me the number of Mr. AMAR PAL, MAYUR VIHAR PHASE 3, AREAEXECUTIVE, EAST DELHI-110096 . While having my conversation with Mr.Amar pal area Representative he explained me that if i am unable to pay an amount of Rs. 180/- together for full year then there is an option provided for Rs. 15/-pm along with coupons .He insisted that he is also ready to take the coupons back and pay me Rs. 699/- in cash he is unable to provide me with cheque as HT WILL NOT ATTEND US ANY MORE. ROLE OF HT STANDS UPTO COLLECTION OF CHEQUES ONLY DELIVERY HAS TO BE MADE BY VENDORS & NOT BY HT EXECUTIVE. Paying Rs.180/- is not an issue but I simply want to know why if HT is making a commitment they should also keep the same. If i had paid the same cheque to local vendor no charges or any problems would have risen. This problem is not only mine there may be many morepeoples are also facing this kind problem who might have thought paying anadditional amount is better who will waste time with HT so I would request you to kindly HELP ME TO sort out this one.
