Deccan Chronicle Complaints & Reviews

I have paid Rs.399/- vide chq. No.047541 of Axis Bank, towards Annual Subscription on 17/01/2015. The check was en-cashed on 26/01/2015. But, I am yet to receive a single newspaper till date. I have called the Deccan Chronicles many times but they just give false assurance. No sign of paper being delivered. This is tremendous unprofessional behaviour on Deccan Chronicles part. They are simple cheating people.

Hello. I am ANUP KUMAR from Hyderabad. I made few purchases from Rediff online shopping Twice. But both the times my shopping was a disaster. Case 1: I ordered a Car Body Cover for a Car. Whereas after I opened the Parcel, it was a damaged piece & also not the right product too. (Order No: 93 66 772, Dated:[protected]. Case 2: I ordered a Samsung HM 7000 Universal Bluetooth Headset. When I started using it, I realised that the particular item is a Defective piece (It was not working). Immediately I made a complaint regarding the above issue. (Order No: 100 40 808, Dated:[protected]. I made a complaint to Rediff Shopping more than 20 times regarding this by Mail & with much difficulty on Phone too. They were very very poor in their Service to satisfy a Customer. After much follow up, they accepted for Refund. One fine day, they sent me a Cheque for only 1 product & interestingly with a wrong Account Name (Though I mailed them very clearly about my account details). Again I made a complaint regarding this. But till date, there is no proper response from Rediff Shopping. At the end of the day, I lost my Valuable Money & Time. Neither they are bothered about replacing it or Refunding my amount. With my Bad Experience with Rediff, I request EVERY ONE to be very careful when you shop ONLINE with REDIFF. It is very clearly proved in my case that, they intentionally CHEAT CUSTOMERS. I request DECCAN CHRONICLE to kindly help me in getting back my Refund. NOTE: I am attaching the proofs also.

Hello, This is Ranjith. I have subscribed for deccan hearald edition for an year. I didnt get the paper delivered for a month now. I contacted the number that i was given to contact on any issues and it turns out i got in to a second issue of poor response. This is followed by further contacts with other people in the delivery chain only to know how many irresponsive people are there in the deccan hearald paper delivery chain. The distributor went to the extent to say that he does not work for deccan hearald when i called him to enquire. First time he responded saying he will solve the issue and in two days he said he is not working for deccan hearld. Seems severe attrition :-) May be he started working of deccan getaway. Other issue i faced is they started delivering me hindu and telugu news papers instead of deccan herald. Not sure im being told indirectly to change my subscription to one of these papers or this is a special standalone complimentary offer for deccan herald subscribers until their issues are resolved. Again this also stopped in 2 days. Net Net you gave me a good experience and plenty of reasons not to go for your subscription any more and recommend the same to the people whom i don't want to put in to trouble. Much appreciate your service. I do know that my issue will not be resolved but again wanted to take the opportunity to step up in the forum that you have created to share the knowledgeable experience that you have provided me by becoming your subscriber.

DC Paper, The Information about Weather given on DC paper daily is absolutely wrong... On 17th December 2014 Max/Min Temperatures is Given as 28.5 and 20.1 Degree celsius. But whereas, accurate weather was on ''weather.com'' its MAX/MIN 28 degree and 15 degree celsius. Plz print accurate weather Reports on DC Paper...and dont mislead people.

I have paid for one year subscription of Deccan Chronicle news paper. Paid the amount to Deccan Chronicle Holding Limited with Order# 161269.

I have spoken to several representatives and was very dissatisfied with the service and I'm very much disappointed with the response to my request. I'm a very new HTC customer and I have purchased 2 Handsets from HTC, one is M8 and other is HTC Desire 816. My Desire 816 screen broke and I have submitted my phone for servicing on 15th of October and it is 11th November now but I have not received my phone still. I spoke to your representatives they are only promising to call me back but nobody ever did. I even warned that I may go legal but in vain, I think I must actually go legal, in order to get my issue resolved because HTC CUSTOMER SUPPORT is of NO USE AT ALL. I had issues with my other handsets from Nokia and Apple and they had provided a very good customer service which was very impressive. Was expecting much better from HTC brand :(.

Dear Sir,

I have raised a request for termination of my data card services ([protected]) on Sept 6th with service request number[protected]. I was told that it will take 7 working days to complete it. I got a call on Sept 11 and I had reconfirmed that I need this termination immediately. They didn't complete this and I received a bill for Sept 2014. I raised another request on Oct 17th[protected] to confirm disconnection and take action on the person who didn't complete the request I raised on Sept 6th. I spoke to a manager who assured me that it will be disconnected.
No action has been taken and I keep receiving bills. I had logged a written complaint to customer care recording all these details. Request reliance communication to be professional and not trouble customers this way.
