TechEd 08 Bangalore cancellation refund

Question

Hello,
I had registered for TechEd '08 at Bangalore.  However, I cancelled my registration before the last date for cancellation.
I have not received a refund and also do not get replies to email:  I have sent a number of emails to 'saptechedinfo.indiatsap.com' and 'saptechedatkestone.in' but have received no replies.
Does anybody have information of more appropriate contact in this regard?
Thanks in advance,
Mathew.

For your kind information, we have paid 43 people amount in 2006 Teched.
Once we paid the amount of more than INR 500000/-, they start sending mails stating, good morning participant, you should have xx year experience, you shout get this certificate, that certificate, even dates, from past employer, confirmation from present employer, no-objection certification. This they would have done before receiving the payment. Most of people became not eligible for certification and dropped from the Teched. Because, they were not allowed for certification. Then they said we cannot give you money back. Either you attend or forget the money. For the fact that I have coordinated all our group from our company, I was under pressure to convince both the sides. Again, we have asked number of times, then they agreed for refund of 8000/- and deduction of 2500/-. Even myself cancelled. It was a hell kind of experience. I would personally say kind of cheating experience. The whole pathetic and unprofessional way they treated us.
Later I never attended any Techeds.
I would suggest if you are really interested to attend then attend. If you cancel the Teched event, then ask GOD whether I will get my money or not.
I am wonder, when Teched 2008 has happend in India. (I believe in November, 2008). This is May, 2009. Seven months. A company like SAP cannot even refund the money back in 9 months... Now, you should be in a position to understand the whole process.
Thanks for your time.
