I have subscribed to HT Chandigarh for 6 months and I have been supplied coupons for the same. My coupon no is 9077. At the time of subscription,the concerned executive had assured that the paper shall be supplied from 20 Nov. But when paper was not supplied on the date, I called him and he assured that it will be supplied from 1Dec,2011.But I have not received the paper on Dec 1 also. The executive is not available at his phone no. [protected]....

I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding my pending refund. Kindly note that there isn't a single vendor in my area willing to offer the service. Additionally, your area manager, Mr. Pravin Kale, has already been informed of this matter. Despite his efforts to persuade the vendor directly, he was unsuccessful as well.
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with your continued failure to provide the service I paid for and your complete lack of response to my previous emails. Despite multiple attempts to reach out, I have yet to receive any acknowledgment or resolution regarding my refund request.

This delay is unacceptable, and I am now left with no choice but to escalate this matter further.

I got a call from shine.com and the agent mentioned that i need to pay 3657 for application booster package and when i checked the website shine.com there was indeed a package with same amount. the agent clarified that this amount is final and they would do all the needful process my resume. I payed the amount through the proforma generated from the email id
[protected]@shine.com for an amount of 3657.

then an email was sent from [protected]@shine.com with the title "Test Mail" and i was asked to send my resume. the agent informed me that they need 30 mins of my time to brief on the experience. i scheduled the call in the evening and when the agent called i briefed him about my experience and he explained about his experience. then he mentioned that they need to do a verification and i need to pay an amount of 5192. i refused to pay this amount as the same was not informed to which the agent started to blackmail me emotionally with words "everybody is paying" "can't you pay 10, 000 for a good job" "are you not serious enough for job"...i refused and then the agent tome changed from talking politely to threating.

His name is suraj sharma and number is [protected]. this is a big scam.

i have requested my money to be refunded and he refused to do that.

Hindustan Times is a trusted brand and shine.com is exploiting the trust of this brand with such cheap tricks.

I need my money back.

I made the payment of 3999 via UPI (transaction id[protected] through HDFC bank and am still not receiving the hard copy of paper at my residence. If it is not possible to deliver the paper please refund the amount of 3999.

We have made payment of Rs 799/- UPI Ref No[protected] dated 31 May 2023 for subscription of HT newspaper for one year. However, inspite of repeated requests/calls made to your Chandigarh HT Office, we have not received the Coupons as promised by HT office. Local dealer is demanding either payment or coupon. This shows very poor management and pathetic customer dealing by HT Media staff.
It is requested to issue coupons so that same could be given to dealer for uninterrupted service of HT newspaper.

I have not received Hindustan Times physical coupons for one year till today.As per AASIYA CCE, she had not received any feed back from the person whom they have delivered the coupons for onward transmission to me at my home. She believes on the person whom they have delivered the coupons and not the customer who has paid the amount in advance.
This shows that the complainant should beg for the coupons. But I have received coupon till today Hindustan Times have cheated with me. Please look into the matter immediately.Send coupon immediately.
My coupon number is 23R0206338.

I had subscribed to Hindustan Times and my subscription was started w.e.f 21 Mar 2023. I had complaint against the vendor for irregular supply of news paper and I was assured that he will be changed. Nothing was done and the same vendor continued. The vendor visited my house and threatened me that he will stop the subscription and despite my complaint no 00571044, no action has been taken by the management. I would like to cancel my subscription and request for the refund.

I had subscribed to Hindustan Times (HT) newspaper (hardcopy) subscription on 29 May 2023. The payment of Rs. 1499 (online ) was made against 12 months HT paper (hardcopy delivery) in Thakur village, Kandivali East.
During the payment, I was informed that the coupons would be received in a few days, post that the assigned vendor by you would contact me for the start of the newspaper delivery.
I received e-coupons late on 10 Jun 2023. From the helpline ([protected]) I was informed that the delivery will start from 15 June. A vendor Mr. Virender/Ashwin connected on 14th June asking for OTP to start the delivery. The OTP message did not have any information regarding the redemption of coupons.
As soon as I gave the OTP, my 10 e-coupons were redeemed. On call back to the vendor, he assured me that the delivery will happen from 15th Jun till next year 14 Jun.
However, I did not receive any newspapers since the start and only 1 day delivery happened on 16 June2023.
On repeated calls to the helpline my complaint was registered with complaint no 00569529. The area manager Kandivali, Mumbai Mr Dhiraj from HT called up and informed me that the vendor would meet me on 17th Jun 2023, Saturday and would start the delivery. Also, during the call on the helpline, I realised that HT has given 2 months backdated e-coupons starting from Apr’23 on 10 June 2023 which the vendor deceptively redeemed from me 14 June 2023.
He mentioned that the OTP was required to start the service and since the OTP message did not have this information, the same was shared by me. This was known to the vendor and was misused to encash the opportunity.

Despite all the above, the delivery did not start.
On 19th Jun’23, I asked for a refund of my amount on the helpline and email (complaint[protected], the customer care executive asked to wait till evening for a call back from their manager. But I have not received any call and neither the area manager nor the vendor is picking up my call.
It seems there is a nexus between the HT team along with the vendor and they are fraudulently taking money from customers. I have to spend my valuable time daily for nearly a month for the follow-up but to no success. This has caused me mental stress and impacted me on many grounds. It is the primary responsibility of the HT team to ensure that the delivery is ensured timely without any issue to the customer.

I request for immediate resolution by refunding the entire amount of Rs 1499 to me at the earliest
