We subscribed to Sonyliv Special +Plan in August2021 for Rs. 399/- being the annual subscription which was debited to our Credit card. We watched the Program “ Kaun Banega Cororepati” for couple of times. However a gap of a month or so when we again wanted to see the subscribed channels the Sonyliv app does not allow us to login- and it shows we have not subscribed. On lodging online complaint further particulars were asked which have been communicated but our subscription has not been restored. What steps we should take to rectify this situation?
