I am now forced to take the legal action and will move to consumer court and raise the issue against India today book club as a case of cheating as since last 4 months i am trying and asking for help from your side but in vain.

Mr Amit,

Can you please provide me the contact details / mail id of your senior official?

If you check the entire conversation, you will come up with the same response i have got every time that your website is out of order or down due to maintenance.

I have been trying to get login since the day i have recieved your book courier and it has been more than 2 months.

So without wasting my much time, please forward this message to your higher officials and ask them to have a discussion with me or am already planning to go to Consumer forum for the same.

Regards

Rohit

Subject: Reg: Activation of holiday voucher

To whosoever it may Concern

Refer the subject, I joined the India today book club on 30-aug-09 (invoice date) and payed a total of Rs. 2598, where in which i was subject to get 12 books, a holiday voucher and return air ticket voucher.

It has been more than 20 days that i have recieved the books and i want to avail my holiday and air ticket vouchers as well.

I am trying to activate the same though your website since last couple of weeks but everytime i try doing it, either your website is getting temporarily available and at times it is under service.

Although i have login into "round air ticket voucher" but am unable to do so in "holiday voucher".

I have called at your customer service centre for 3 times and I am very much disappointed with there replies also.

During last call made, i spoke to Mr Amit Kumar and he again gave me the repeated excuse that the server is down and that i have to call back again tomorrow. I asked him to please forward the call to your senior official which he denied and unable to solve my query.

Before becoming the member, i got more than 20 calls from your side and today when i asked to arrange a call to me whenever your server starts, the reply i got " there is no facility to make outbound calls".

Understand there might be few problems persisting in the server and in website but i must be properly adviced about how should i proceed.

Awaiting for your prompt reply.

Regards
