      Transfer/refund recharge made to inactive smartcard
      B Devsingh
      Oct 16 2021

      I have mistakenly recharged to my old inactive sun direct dish smart card [protected] which is now inactive. I am using sundirect hd setup box and I supposed to be recharged to my new connection
      Both connection are under my name and I made recharge to my old inactive connection through FreeCharge 0n 16 Oct 2021recharge amount:1298.
      Customer care denied transferring my recharge amount to new connection or refunding amount saying they can do only if recharge made through sundirect app(complaint . They confirmed recharge amount 1298 is credited to my old inactive sundirect ID.
      Isn't it unfair or cheating if amount is credited and sundirect customer care says they can refund if it is only recharged through sundirect app.
      Please take action and refund or transfer the recharge amount to new connection. And pls have a policy in place to take action if such common mistake (since ID saved in app after first recharge and anyone uses same to recharge again)happens and customer used recharge third party vastly using app like FreeCharge, gpay, phonepay.

                Hi I have tried to recharge my sun direct account ([protected]) via Amazon pay, it was marked as pending, tried once again with same results, Since today is the last day of the my subscription i have used Sun direct website and finish my transcation. But now the Amazon customer service says even though the transaction is pending, recharge money is already gone to Sun direct and cant be refunded. So technically i ended paying three times for a single recharge. How could we address this issue?

                  Hi,
                  The channels Zee Kerala and Asianet are both displayed blank and no error code and no error code is displayed.
                  When I contacted Sun direct, the executive tells they have reset the channels and should be available in 2 hours. If these channels are not visible after 2 hours I have to change the set top box.
                  I don't understand why the set top box has to be changed for a problem for just 2 channels.
                  Looks like Sun direct is looting customers.

                  The customer executive had called me again, told that I will need to upgrade my set of box.
                  They couldn't answer why every day a channel disappears and not that all channels are facing that problem. Also they are forcing the customer to buy their new set of box as every day only those channels disappear which the consumer is watching on a daily basis

Because i purchased the STB with my own money, now the problem is not from my side, the money I spend to purchase hasn’t value? After all i ok (ready to pay) with the company but the technician contacted and ask me such a foolish questions “which type is your road, antenna is in roof or floor, your road haves gutter 😂, how much long from main road to house, if the signal is cut then it wil be charged extra ( the charge for STB only for delivery and connecting to the cable 🤣), and he shouted to my wife “why you are touch the antenna 🥺” so I said cancel my order by by, now i happy with other dth company with true quality, clarity

                      I choose my fta as base pack. In that pack many tamil channels are not coming like channel no 80, 74 likemany tamil channels not. Last time i called customer care they activate the same and told to activate ncf as base pack next time. But there is no option to choose ncf in website and in sun direct app also not coming.

                        Address: 209, jaliyur village, regadahalli post, dharmapuri district. Pin 635301

                        I am karthick.s from Chennai.

                        I was recharged sun direct via BHIM app ( upi gateway) on 29.12.2021. This transaction completed and deducted amount Rs.599 in my account.

                        Further I contact sbi Customer care, they told that, this transaction completed successfully and that amount credited to merchant (sun direct) account on the same day.

                        Also, i contact sun direct Customer care, they told that, this amount not credited our side and contact you respective customer care (sbi).

                        What I do sir, I spend more time for enquiry on the details via more than phone calls to customer care sbi, and sun direct.

                        Sir please take necessary action for refund my amount and compensation for inconvenient, waste my precious time for that.

                        Message from sbi Customer, mentioned below:

                        We would like to inform you that transaction reference number:[protected] was successfully done from our side on same date and amount has been already credited to merchant account request you to please get in touch with your merchant. Regards, BHIM SBI PAY APP

                              I have recharged my sun direct DTH 3 days back. Even after that the warning banner message is getting displayed at the bottom of screen. Even clicking on "Exit" is not removing the banner. This is really annoying. Please fix it ASAP.

                              Having said that I called the customer care and asked about the status but the customer care executive was very rude and hung up the call while I am talking
                              I was told that the problem will be resolved in 2 hours once and then 24 hours but it’s been 3 days and there is no proper response instead the executives (divya, nagarani) are very rude and this is not appreciable
                              I have been called recently and asked my id and before telling them the id they hung up again
                              Also I was informed that there will be no payment required by the customer care executive but the working technician did demanding some amount
                              Having said that the customer care, the executives as well as the services are very worst and I demand a refund as I don’t want to be a part of sun direct any more
                              I request you to consider my problem as this is not appreciable

                                I have received below confirmation from bank on amount deduction, but my sundirect app showed as transaction failed and recharge date hasn't been extended.

                                A/c has been debited with INR 1554.00 on 01-JAN-2022 at 04:08 and account [protected]@icici has been credited. UPI Ref no.[protected]
