I HAVE SUBSRIBED YOUR NEWS PAPER FOR 1 YEAR SINCE JUNE 2014. BUT I HAVE NOT RECIEVED THE PAPER FOR LAST THREE DAYS. THE AGENCY ( R K NEWS AGENCY - [protected]) IS INFORMING THAT THEY HAVE NOT REVCIEVED THE PAPER FROM YOU. THE NEWS PAPER LIKE YOURS WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO EXPOSE THE CHEATING OF OTHERS SHOULD NOT CHEAT YOUR VALUED CUSTOMERS BY TAKING ONE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION AND NOT SUPPLYING FOR 2-3 DAYS IN A MONTH. HOPE YOU WILL SOLVE THE COMPLAINT AT THE EARLIEST.

      Hi In toady's Mangalore edition, on the first page, it shows that the total number of pages is 32. But in reality, the newspaper actually consisted only 28 pages. The editorial, crossword, etc pages were missing from the newspaper. Why is that so? I feel I have been cheated. At least deliver what you show on the cover page. Please note that this in not a case of 4 pages gone missing from my newspaper - but the company themselves just ended the main newspaper on page 24 (plus 4 pages supplement making it only 28 pages).

              I am an avid reader ofDH from my childhood. The good old timers of Basavanagudi take pride in reading DH. There was an offer of Rs.749/- to subscribe to DH for one year and I paid the same thru Chq 139851 drawn on SBI. The agent promised that the present newspaper agent mr Vedamurthy would supplly the paper as usual. Mr vedaumurthy is an old timer in our area and I am getting my newsppaer for atleast two decades. The offer was supposed to commnce from 15/06/2014 onwards but I regret to state that despite several reminders the supply started from 20/07/2014 after a great deal of pestering and complaints. I am very sorry to state that daily I have to start my day fighting with the newspaper boy. I complained to MR>NARAIMHA MURTHY He in turn refered to MR MANJUNATH and so many others. I am a working woman and I expect newspaper to be supplied at least by 6.30 a.m. Every day I fight with the boy for coming late, atleast by 7.45 a.m. Nowadays e paper is available but I have subscribed to DH much to the discontentment of my children and other familly members just for the love of reading a DH paper every day. Now I regret because of the erratic supply many times no supply at all. Is it really worth fighting every morn breaking my peace of mind as well as the poor newspaper boy"s, for a trivial issue as getting an edition of the daily paper? He does not supply many days and nowadays I have even last track of how many days he has not! My receipt number for subscription is PYS/ 22954 dt 4/6/14. Can I expect any refund of the amount? Please adjust the two and half months subscription and mail me a Chq for the Difference amount towards refund? Please reply Yours faithfully Bhuvaneshwari V 307 VI Main Remco Layout Vijayanagar Bengaluru-560040 Mob [protected].

                        The Deccan Herald yearly subscription service is a waste.
                        It worked well for a year, but at the end of the year, before the expiry, the agent stopped supplying paper. When contacted, he told us to call Deccan herald office. They seem to resolve the issue and the paper supply restarted

                        Hence I renewed for the next year on October 7th 2013. BA350G8 is the subscription number. PRB - 00412. Rs. 899

                        However, since 17th November 2013, the agent has stopped supplying papers claiming he is not receiving the copies from DH office. He told us to call DH office

                        1. First call to dh office[protected] promised call back - no one called back
                        2. Second call - promised to resolve issue with agent Mr. Kumar. No resolution
                        3. Third call - escalated to Mr. Prasanna - who promised call back. No one called back

                        This needs to be taken seriously and action needs to be taken against DH for promising service at subsidised rates, and not providing service. The customer is taken for a ride, and no one claims responsibility for this act. For a paper as well - known as DH, this is totally unacceptable

                        Updated by Aparna Srihari
                        After couple of calls more, and finally calling on the DH representative Mr. Prasanna's mobile, he assured me that he spoke to the Agent Mr. Kumar and got the issue resolved. I received the paper today morning and MR. Kumar also confirmed that he has received payment.

                        Mr. Prasanna's claim is that the agent is creating problems for many residents because he wants to hold the supply for our layout.
                        Mr. Kumar's (agent) claim is that he has not received payment from the DH office for the past three months and hence he was not supplying the papers.

                        Overall - there is still no clarity over why these issues are occurring and who is exactly at fault. Whether its the agent or its DH themselves who are to be blamed. Customers need more transparency and if either DH or the Agent comes forward and speaks out the actual issue clearly, things can be resolved without it having to get so messy and argumentative. Why does such a simple thing as delivering paper have to turn so complicated?

                                I also faced same problem with this DECCAN HERALD scheme. I feel I cheated by Deccan Herald. They took advance money Rs 600=00 through Cheque and they gave papers only for 2 months. I think I called their office more than 25 times to look into this. Looks like they dont have control on agents. My question is if they dont have control over agents then why they started this scheme.

                                Anyhow I got cheated from Deccan herald and I decided not read this news paper in future.

                                I suggest everyone not to go for this scheme.

                                DECCAN HERALD NEWS PAPER — TAKING MONEY AND NOT SUPPLYING PAPER

                                I had paid cash on 07/03/2009 and deccan herald news paper agent gave me Receipt, stating 29/03/2009 to 30/09/2009, for this period news paper will supply,

                                but they started suppling paper on 07/04/2009 and stoped suppling on 06/09/2009.

                                I called to newspaper agent Maltesh hebbal area he told your supply period is over, on 10/09/2009.

                                and he has not come to see the receipt whatever there with me,

                                so, i called to Deccan herald newspaper company, they told in system it is showing 15/03/2009 to 15/09/2009, then i told to them i will come and show you the receipt which is given by your agent,
                                they said they will send and sales executive, to solve this issue, but not yet come to solve the problem
                                I also paid 360/-Rs for six months Deccan herald Subscription through cheque. I facing issues daily that they put news paper regularly irregular. I need to call them everytime and they say this will not repeat . This has become daily nuisance. The person who gave this subscription offer name is Aravind and his contact is [protected] .
                                I also paid 360/-Rs for six months Deccan herald Subscription through cash. I facing issues that they have stopped supply after week supply. if we call they are not lifting our calls. i have decided to send message to all my friends and my networks. how i got cheated by deccan herald people and tell them to beware of the thugs in the company.
