Hello
@SJM sir,
Needed you advise regarding a failed transaction of 20k to load Amazon wallet using DC.
As the transaction failed, I waited for a week for refund but nothing happed. I contacted my bank and after much deliberation they confirmed that the transaction has been settled from their end & I should contact the merchant from for refund, as it's showing failed at their end.
For this I contacted Amazon chat support. The support guy immediately raised a refund request & informed me that within 24 - 48hrs I'll receive the refund to source account.
After this I asked for compensation of 100 per day as per RBI guidelines for delay in refund for failed transactions.
Upon hearing this, the guy immediately transferred the chat saying that have a special team for this. The next guy who joined after reading the chat again transferred saying the same & then again happened the same.
Finally after multiple attempts a guy came who asked the full story again. Then after taking his own sweet time he informed me....wait for this.....that there was no money debited from your account.
I was like WTF!!! After wasting 45min I'm being told that no money has been debited.
To this I immediately download bank statement & shared with him over a link shared by him. (Mind you, I the link shared you can't upload a pdf, so I had to convert it to jpg to upload....thank God I was on a laptop)
Finally he accepted the problem & raised a complaint & a reference no. sayings the problem will be resolved in 3 working days.
After 6 days, when I didn't receive any response, I mailed Amazon Pay Grievance offer for status update. Next day, I received a response saying they deal with Amazon Pay issues only, & asked me to connect with Amazon Support team via chat option.
The timeline:
Failed Txn. - 3rd June
Issue raised with Amazon - 8th July
Mail Grievance Officer - 14th July
Response from Grievance officer - 15th
Now can I raise the issue directly with RBIO or shall I write to APay PNO first??
Also, if writing to RBIO, I'm eligible for 100/per compensation only, or any additional amount I lieu of mental harassment also??
Please guide...
