Poor Service

I subscribed to Sun direct in the month of Apr'09. For seeing paid channels, we need to buy "Currency". As per the sundirect website, they advertised that the currency will be available from Aircel dealer however in reality it is not.

For chosing new paid channels, they provide an option to do the same by login to "www.sundirect.in" through customer login after buying the currency. I bought the currency...

Hi,
I had recharged the smart card number [protected] on 2nd March for 241.5 rupees (1 month). But that time payment is processing upto 1 day. So I decided to recharge one more time for the same smart card number. I recharged 239 rupees again by dth dealer on 7:34 am. The payment which I made on 2nd March is on processing stage today 4.30 pm. After that I received a message from that recharge was successful. I need a clarification on that how you consider this because I had paid two times for the same month for the same card number. Here I have attached the payment receipt. Please resolve this issue ASAP and return my money. Otherwise I will file a complaint in consumer court.

              Address: India

              I have recharged my Sun Direct Smart Card in My Sun Direct App after the expiry of present Telugu Gold SD pack on 13th September, 2023. I have done recharge on 14th September. I stay in Visakhapatnam

              When I opened the App and clicked on recharge my old Telugu Gold pack, they showed an popup which stating that our packs are changed with OK button. When I clicked on that button they redirected to me page showing two packs HD Telugu Gold and HD Telugu Basic (Both has SD and HD options).

              So I have choosen HD Telugu Basic and clicked on Add option where they showed another popup with 3 Options which I added screenshot to this. From that I have choosen 3 months plan which costed me Rs. 750 with all charges. And also the recharge was successful which I made payment through ICICI Credit card. I have attached Transaction history as well.

              So after recharge when I checked my subscription it was showing Telugu Gold Pack active and also amount in my wallet which I didn't added manually but think they taken Telugu Gold pack cost and credited remaining in wallet which is not acceptable completely from my end.

              Immediately I contacted live chat and I was shocked that the agent saying that there is no 3 months plan for HD Telugu Basic Plan. And it's only available for 1 or 6 months. If you can see my attachment and say If I'm wrong in selecting 3 months plan?

              I have written an complaint mail to the Sun Direct Customer care. But I want to log an complaint over them here too, to question -

              1. How they can show false information on app while recharge?
              2. How can they redirect part of the payment to their wallet without redirecting to payment source?
              3. How can they don't intimate a user about the package change? They didn't even send message that you 3 months plan is not activated due to this so and so reason.?
              4. There is no proper info provided to the chat assistant as per the data in app, he asked where did you find that option of 3 months? In return to me.

              I need proper explanation on this and solution for this misleading users by a reputed company.
