Become an author for Akosha
What?
We publish easy to understand, accurate and useful information for Indian consumers. If you are interested in contributing articles, sharing your experiences, or expressing an opinion, this is the place.
Why?
1. Akosha is fast establishing itself as a brand for information on consumer issues. You will get to be part of and contribute to this growth.
2. You will have a by-line and a small bio about yourself. We ensure that each article gets maximum exposure and recognition for your hard work through social media efforts on Twitter.com, Facebook etc.
3. We provide you with feedback on your article and help you work on it to make it better.
4. Writing about everyday practical consumer issues, talking to people involved like NGOs, lawyers, judges, police etc. can be very exciting and a great learning experience.
Akosha writing guidelines
1. Your article should be between 400-600 words. If the topic is vast, try to break it up into two parts, and it will appear as two separate articles.
2. Write in a simple manner, without losing the exact legal meaning or context. Do not use words that a non-lawyer would need a dictionary for.
3. Make sure that there is a proper flow in your writing – each point should lead to the next.
4. Avoid cliches. Avoid flowery language. Avoid unnecessary quotes by “great” people.
5. Use a friendly tone, conversational style. If you can give the article context by using an anecdote, it would be great.
6. Please do not plagiarize. If you are copying something, please put it in quotes and cite the source. We use www.copyscape.com for vetting all our submissions for plagiarism.
7. Please talk to sources like lawyers, NGOs etc., if needed, to present an accurate picture in your article. A lot of information on the Internet is incorrect in our experience.
8. Please feel free to ask us questions if you need to get a quick understanding of legal basics.
9. Your piece should not have been previously published in any offline or online media.

Hi!
I would love to write for you all, I was a consumer journalist from 1990-93 until I moved to the US. I don’t want to write as of now as I may have to take someone to court – my builder for delay in delivering the building and getting me the documents, because of which I have wound up losing a sale deal after the buyer had paid the token… I am waiting for the final documents then I will take the builder to court for loss of income because of his delay… after that I would love to get into writing for you.

i am the chairman of transindiaresorts ltd and before publishing damaging news you should atleast try to contact us and get our version so as to bring the truth. i do not know how to respond to the misleading information.
i can respond to you be exposing the fraud played by mr.balasubramaniam who misled the consumer forum and got the order. the said order is stayed by the hon high court in a crp filed by us. Mr.Balasubramaniam attended the meeting convened on the orders of the hon high court of chennai which sanctioned a scheme u/s;391 of the companies act and we are in the process of settling all the timeshare members in full. But Mr.balasubramaniam though he claims to be an advocate has suppressed the fact that he attended the meeting and agreed to the scheme and as per the section any one who is part of the scheme cannot go to any other legal forum except to the hon high court itself for any relief.
i am ready for an interview to give all the information to prove we are doing our best to solve the issues by ourself and pay off the timeshare members. Pl inform me how to contact you to give the full information
thanks

Dear Sarika,
This is not the correct place for posting your complaint. Kindly submit your complaint on http://www.akosha.com. However, in such cases, the resolution rate is really low, even after approaching the consumer forum.

Subject: Legal Notice for Non-supplying of Articles viz. Samsung 27D5000 [27 inch] LED TV though full payment of Rs.29,880/- has been made long back.
——————————————————————–
Dear Sir,
Under the instructions and on behalf of my client, Mr. Kaushal G. Modh, “Mangal-Moorty”, 19-Shri Satguru dayal Society, Nr. Bhakti Nagar, Saurabh High School Road, Ranip, Ahmedabad – 382480, do hereby serve upon you this legal notice as under:
My client, on your deceitful offer, on 05-09-2010 paid Rs. 25,000/-in advance for making of modular kitchen but, you have failed to fulfill your obligation and did not exceed to our request. Since, last 1-½ year Rs. 25,000/- has been illegally retained by you.
On 26th of January, 2012 [on republic day], you have dishonestly made public offer to deceive the public for purchasing of various electronic appliances from your Home Town. Your Sales Manager agreed to give credit of Rs. 25,000/- which were lying with you for purchasing electronic appliances. Relying upon your deceitful offer, my client has in all made advance payment of Rs. 29,880/- against purchase of Samsung 27D5000 [27 inch] Fully HD LED TV and Microwave. In token of the said advanced payment of Rs. 29,880/-, you had issued Receipt No. 2001041177 for Rs. 29,880/- in my client’s favour. I am enclosing herewith a Xerox copy of the receipt for your ready reference but, unfortunately, as a part of your deceitful modus-operandi you did not supply the articles viz. Samsung 27D5000 [27 inch] Fully HD LED TV and Microwave nor paid the amount to my client and with a dishonest intention, you have committed fraud with my client. Number of times, my client has personally visited your shop but there was no proper response at your end and nobody was taking any responsibility either to deliver the articles or to refund the amount of Rs. 29,880/-. Rs. 29,880/- is lying with you since last 1 ½ years.
Thereafter, repeated requested were made by my client either to deliver the articles or to refund Rs. 29,880/- with 15% interest. But, as usual you did not pay any head to the said request and committed fraud and cheating with my client.
It appears from your criminal act that you have dishonestly induced my client, with a view to fraudulently cheat my client; you have taken huge amount of Rs. 29,880-00 from my client and not supplied the electronic appliances as agreed. This act on your part amounts to cheating as per the provisions of section 420 of Indian Penal Code and also amounts criminal breach of trust under section 406 read with 409 of the Indian Penal Code.
I, therefore, called upon you to either deliver Samsung 27D5000 [27 inch] Fully HD LED TV and Microwave within a period of 7 DAYS from the receipt of this notice or to refund the amount of Rs. 29,880/-with 15% interest from the
05-09-2010 immediately from the receipt of this legal notice, failing which my client will compel to file criminal compliant against you under the provisions of section 406, 409 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code at your cost and consequences.
My client may also file complaint before the Consumer Forum for not providing services under the Act and for recovery of the amount illegally withheld by you.

Dear Jagmohan,
We cannot help you in tracing the company. It is a case of fraud and you should approach the police (of course this is usually not very useful, but we have no better suggestion).
To trace the company address and directors details, you could do a company search on http://www.mca.gov.in/ but the chances are that the contact details etc. will not help much.

Got my educational loan from bank in 2006 for a sum of 75,000 and 75,000, 50,000 in consecutive years and completed my post graduation in 2009. I have been servicing the interest of EL for the first year alone from the day I got loan to June 2011 from my mother’s(widow) pension account (from 2006 on wards). but actually i have to start repaying the interest from 2010 June on wards. I got a job on contract basis that i am liable to pay a sum of Rs.1,25,000 to the company if I am separated from the company until 18 months from the date of joining. Due to this reason and since I was liable to pay a bulk amount to my father’s friends which we got for the medical expenses before he died, etc. I thought of repaying the part of loan with interest once I got permanent in my company. Until month of June 2011 they were taking the interest for 75,000 alone from the pension account and suddenly they stopped debiting it from June 2011 without any intimation to us. The bank officials blocked my mothers pension account and asked us to pay a sum of 1 lakh immediately to release the pension account. we paid Rs.70,000 and immediately they unblocked the pension account. In the month of December some officials came to my home and asked my mother to come for a compromise settlement and my mother went there. They told like they have waived Rs.40,000 from the interest and pay the remaining amount immediately but my mom didn’t agree with that. But the officials harassed her with some sensational words and forced her to sign three loans i.e. agricultural gold loan for Rs.67,000 and loan from her pension account for Rs.40000 and also told her that they will debit some Rs.1500 for 4 years. After that only i saw the statement given to us and I was shocked to see that the EL was already written off in June 2011 itself and the amount of Rs.1,76,500 recovered from us is not reflected in the statement and even they haven’t waived off anything but they cheated us. I sent a grievance letter to the chief manager about the rude behavior of the officials and I asked the manager to cancel all the loans but they were debiting the interest for the loans.
Rajasekar – your case is really complicated. It might be better for you to get in touch with a lawyer.
