Kingfisher/ air ticket
Non refund of cancelled ticket

I had booked a ticket for my Regioal manager Sanjay dutta from Nagpur to Bangalore through Cleartrip which was confirmed by air deccan (now Kingfisher) on 06 aug and was cancelled due to unavoided circumstances. I have the receipt of cancellation. Since then i am following the issue without any success. I did write to them and got revert we are looking in to case. On call they had different version of story such as, we have given refund to make my trip (however booked through cleartrip), our companies are going through merger, this ticket was booked in january etc. After more than a month follow up i am fed up and need your help. I have checked with cleartrip and my credit card provider ABN AMRO without any positive answer. Following are the details for your reference:

Dear Ms Ruhi,

This has true old story of air deccan of delay in refunddespite of instructions from AAI and other complaints. Do you think the customer whom you harass like this would fly with you again?

Come out with resolution or it would be embrassing for deccan to face this.
