Legal Question in Consumer Law in India

I had used www.travelocity.co.in for booking a ticket. They had an offer where i could use an ICICI card to generate an evoucher of Rs. 300. I did that and proceeded to make a booking, but the transaction failed and my account got debited.

Then the evoucher also became invalid, so i had to generate another evoucher and proceeded to make the booking and it went through. Next day i got an email from travelocity informing me that the ticket has been cancelled as i used 2 evouchers, they charged me Rs. 1000 as cancelation and admin charges.

I have been battling them since then to refund the 1000 rupees as it was a problem with their website. But to no avail. The very next day, I was booking another ticket and this time too, my account got debited for but no ticket was issued.

I called customer care and they told me, that the refund will be done in 48 hours. however after 6 days i called them again and they told me, that i will have to call the bank for the refund and they cannot do anything and that i was given wrong information.

I want to get my 1000 rupees back and charge damages for mental harassment.

Please advise.

issue a legal notice and then approach consumer forum. However your amount is too small therefore ask maximum damages, legal fees etc in the notice and complaint.
