Hi team,

I have renewed my yearly subscription of the hindu for the amount of rs. 1200 through citrus pay (The link which i got from the hindu notification message) for this year in 30th september 2017 and i received a message states 'thank you for subscribing to the hindu' but still now i couldn't get the newspapers for any of the days till now.
I have called the customer care service today and the call got disconnected while asking for the details.
We are in our 3rd year of continuous subscription and we have been facing the issue of not getting the newspapers. This is totally unfair. Please take the necessary action.

Subscriber id - [protected]

Thanks,
Bhavya

    Dear sir,

    I have newly subscribed to hindu tamil daily news paper door delivery. My subscription starts from 11th sept 2017. I have not received any news paper nor i have received any call from hindu regarding my subscription. I never expected this from hindu. I am disappointed to say the least. I tried calling the customer care, but they cut the call within 5 second's. This totally irresponsible behaviour from hindu.

    My subscription details are enclosed

      I'm not receiving hindu newspaper regularly or only in a intermittent days or one day after the other, by the agent, mr. Ramasamy whose phone number is [protected]... Kindly change my agent or the point of delivery... Or i'm pleased with a agent named mr. Praveen who is undertaking kandanchavadi point of delivery
      The Hindu customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
      Payment of money for post delivery had been done before 25 days of subscription but no response from the newspaper vendor
      Please avoid too much of advertisement .nowadays the front page and back page is full of ads ...which changes the entire idea of reading news...getting commercial is good but not at the cost of losing a reader

        Hi sir,
        I am residing at alwarthirunagar. I had subscribed for both tamil and english hindu papers. Almost its a routine that i miss reading tamil hindu as the agency boy tells me that the paper as all been sold we haven't got the paper. I almost know that all these are very silly reasons.
        If we have been subscribed i ought to receive it, but it's been a week since i'm receiving only english and no tamil hindu.
        Please look into this matter and take necessary action the agency dealer name is nagaraj.
        If this is the case why would i want to waste my money for paper which i'm not getting.

          10/8, chandra residency, 15th cross, 2nd temple street,
          Malleshwaram, bangalore - 560 003,

          Sir,
          I had given my cheque number 4434286 for rs.899/- [date i am not sure] drawn on vijaya bank, malleshwaram branch being the annual subscription for 1.10.2017 to 30.09.2017 about 20 days back,

          I had requested the branch to transfer an amount of rs.50000.00 from another account to the account, on which i had issued the cheque. But the branch did not act upon the instruction. Meanwhile, the credit card bill was debited to my account, and the cheque issued for annual subscription was dishonoured.

          I had received a message from the bank to this effect. Immediately, i had contacted your chennai office and had apprised the position. I had also requested your customer care division at[protected]. Meanwhile, i had also tried to contact the news paper agent, but could not get him.

          I request you to re-present the cheque immediately, as my banker has carried out the instruction. I regret for the inconvenience and request that extra charges, if any, may be collected from me.

          Thanking you,
          Yours faithfully,

            This is sreenivasulu a, the hindu initial subscription no. S[protected]. I renewed my subscription by paying rs.999 on[protected] vide subscription no.[protected]. I cancelled subscription due to bad service and requested for refund. I mailed to the customer care, they says we forwarded to higher authority, forwarded to finance section and giving some reference number, but till date i didn't receive refund. News paper also stopped giving from 01 sep 2017 on wards. I am calling daily customer care they simply passing time and telling stories. Manager customer care also replied that the reference no. A078616 will be resolved shortly, but till now it is not solved.

            Escalate this issue to higher authority and get my refund immediately.

            No body called from Hindu. Still I didn't get my refund back. when I call customer care, they simply says that, your complaint forwarded, it will be solved within 2 days. 50 days passed still no action been taken.
            No progress on my complaint
            There is no action on my refund. whenever I call customer care they simply say that within 2 days /week, your problem will be solved. Till now there is no action on this. From finance some executive spoke to me a week back he says that refund will be done before 10th Nov 2017, if not call to customer care. 10th Nov 2017 also crossed. I called yesterday customer care they said that today it will be done. Nothing has happened till now. since 75 days neither i am getting refund nor newspaper. how long it will take to refund my money. Every time I send a mail, i get an automated message, later no action. your are simply wasting my time as well as your time. refund immediately and solve the issue.
            GENTLE REMINDER

            No progress on my complaint
            Inspite of repeated calls, mails, still my subscription amount not refunded. I am neither getting paper nor refund. Hindu personal are cheating. Now 5th month is running. please escalate and do the refund immediatly.

                Website: redbus.in

                Giving the feedback for redbus.in transport/travel service provider.

                Why ticket prizes are so high on festive seasons. When compared to the ticket prize today and on weekend upcoming, the fares are relatively very high. What kind of service is this? Are you really doing service to people or what?

                See the fares i have attached below, for the same transport, for the same route on different dates. This is not only on the particular travels but in all transport and travels. Are you supported by the government for this kind of business?

                Booking online, fares are different and offline is different fare. Such a ridiculous profit making service provider. It's not nice to make profit out of people's situation.

                        I am really worried about this complaint. But already i given a complaint in the same subject.
                        I didn't receive your tamil hindu in all sundays and monthly they will not supply atleast 3 days.

                        I don't understand this type of practice,

                        I suspect that you have been compensate the subscription amount by this type of non issuance of papers,

                        I didn;t expect this type of exercise from a traditional paper like you

                            I got this message from your office on 31st august, but paper stopped from 15th sept. Also free bag was offered which i haven't received till today.
                            I am taking yearly subscription for the past 5 years. If this is the service i expect, i have to think of alternatives.

                                  This is the last mail i sent to the hindu:

                                  I have paid you the subscription amount for 6 months. I made several calls to your customer care number. I am getting ridiculed by your toll free executives. It is extremely shameful that a great organisation like the hindu is behaving in this absurd manner. After receiving my payment you are not delivering the service or the product. It is a blatant and violation of my consumer rights.

                                  I have subscribed for Businessline and I was informed that the newspaper will be delivered from 18.8.2017. Till date the newspapeer is yet to be delivered. I have made several complaints, for which I have received plethora of calls and mails, but not the newspaper. Its disgusting and I want the refund. My contact number is [protected].

                                        I have subscribed to The Hindu newspaper and made online payment but I have not been receiving newspaper despite subscription.
                                        This is cheating as I have made advanced payment of whole year and there is no response from the newspaper regarding my vendor.
