          On 10th March, 2022 I tried to recharge Sun-direct DTH with subscriber ID: [protected] with the amount of Rs. 1554/-. I tried recharging twice(around 7pm) through the sun-direct website and both times I got a `TRANSACTION_FAILED` error message but the amount got debited from my account. And after an hour of recharge it was accepted(around 8pm and didn't receive any message just saw TV channels were working)

          So for the next 7 days I waited for a refund of one of the failed transaction amounts, but unfortunately not refunded till today. It's been 12 days since recharging.

          I'll also share the order-id and other transaction details here,

          Transaction Time OrderId UPI method used Status after sometime(around 8pm)
          7:03 PM 47205921 Mobikwik Failed
          7:10 PM 47206701 Paytm Success

          Also attached the order details from respective UPI apps, and bank statement for your reference.
          Hereby I request you to check the details and please process the refund as soon as possible. Please let me know if any other details are required.

          Thanks & Regards,

          Thank you for resolving the issue but I'm not satisfied with the support. It took them 15days to resolve. Since it was the issue with their system they should maintain proper logs and revert/refund failed payment for a particular interval. Also I feel sundirect mobile app and website is not very user friendly as compared to the competitors like tata play or tata sky. I won't recommend sundirect to anybody.

                    I have recharged through sundirect app. Amount got debited from my account and credited to sundirect account. When I call the customercare they dont even bother about it and simply saying you have not recharged. I have provided transaction code also. Customercare people simply open some complaints and send false messages that your complaint has been resolved without resolving anything and they are showing rude behaviour through call. They have chance to check my transaction with the transaction ID i have provided however they are simply saying i haven't recharged without even checking it.

                      I have been notified by Sun direct to recharge my package. I also recharged my package but a scrolled message got permanently embedded on my picture stating that " Your sun direct expires in 3 days, recharge with tamil DPO so and soo..." this scrolled message appears in all channels for the past more than 2 weeks after my recharge. Picture in all channel appears but I cant make the scroll message to disappear.

                      I had given lot of complaints to Sun direct but none of them are responding properly or resolving my issue some even declining or cutting my phone call while I am still in call discussing about my complaint. This type of service which they give make me feel so bad. None of them took my complaint seriously and resolved it. Thus I am seeking this platform.
