Regulators typically require proof that you first approached the brand for 30 days.

How to choose who to call first

1. Identify your issue's brand owner — if you paid Disney+ Hotstar, call Disney+ Hotstar. If you paid Sony LIV, call Sony LIV. Cross-brand transactions (e.g. payment gateways) should call the brand that debited your account first.
2. Use the product-specific helpline — both brands have dedicated lines for billing, technical, and account issues. Callveo lists each one.
3. Keep both brands' reference numbers — if the issue spans both (e.g. refund from A needs verification by B), you'll need ticket IDs from both.
4. Time the call right — 7–10 AM for both brands has 40–60% shorter queues.
5. Document everything — date, time, agent name, ticket number. Required for any escalation to grievance officer or regulator.
