We subscribed the Mint newspaper vide cheque no. 073900 drawn on UBI Bank dated 13/10/2015. I had received confirmation sms from HT Media of having received my subscription. I had received a call saying that it is verification call. Now that the address has been verified, you will receive the coupons soon. We HAVE NOT RECEIVED the MINT Coupons till date. The Toll Free Number with IVR when transferred to MINT Subscription Executive DOES NOT GET ANY RESPONSE for a long time. The booking executive (Mr. Prem Lal, Mobile No. [protected], visited on 13.10.2015) has vanished and can not be contacted. We are waiting for the coupons and delivery of the MINT Paper.

We thank Indian Consumer Complaints Forum for proving a platform for such complaints.

Subject: Re: Complain Regarding (News paper) Under Gurgaon SpecialBonanza2015 offer

Respected management,
With all due respect, this is to state that even after constantly being reminded about the discontinuation of the newspaper my problem hasn't been solved.
Kindly, look into the matter or else the consequences might not be in your favour.
I'll go to every extent to get my problem solved whether it may be socially or judicially. It gives chills to see how such a reputated newspaper is behaving. Is this the kind of treatment given to a loyal customer? I could hardly get over the fact that even after nine months my problem is not solved. Hindustan times used to be the source via which problems were discussed and now here we are where we have to complaint against out very own newspaper.

I request you to please look into the matter and not force me to take harsh steps which might not pleasing at all. And I totally beg to differ from whatever the newspapers' reputation says. I feel that the newspaper itself is in a terrible condition and needs to fix the corruption in their own system.
Regards,
Mahak Singh.

For subscription of HT english newspaper for a year I had paid an amount of Rs 999/- (nine hundred ninty nine) dated 08.08.2015. Though i received the monthly coupons for delivery of the said newspaper and it was started from 1 sept 2015 the booking amount of Rs 999 was also inclusive of a Laptop bag as promotional gift which is still to be delivered. I made many call to customer care for same and every time they promised that it will be delivered soon. I donot understand that such a reputed newspaper may also resort to such mal practices. This is final reminder to u.

Dear sir,
My booking is in name
SaritaGoel,
106, Kautilya Apartments,
sector -6 Vasundhra,
Ghaziabad
Problem is news:
paper is not coming daily, on an average 1 day in week, paper is not coming .
whenever we talk to vendor, he makes some excuse like holiday / week holiday / paper is not coming
/paper is short supply.
We are fed up to track the vendor & asking explanation.
If HT media can not ensure the smooth supply then better not to make any efforts in booking in advance & launching different schemes .
Pl look into the matter & try to resolve otherwise permanently stop the paper & we can switch over to
other .
Regards

The newspaper distributed on February 7, 2016 i.e. Sunday had a mistake in its page 23. The list of retained players under kolkata knight riders had been accidently swapped with the list of retained players under delhi daredevils. Please look forward to correcting this mistake as many people your esteemed newspaper and they might not want to seek inappropriate news.
