If it is one of those credits you apply to prepaid accounts, you are probably out of luck because no personal information is recorded when someone purchases the ticket.

Also this information is probably not avaialble outside the company due to privacy policies or laws.

yeah its prepaid. I bought prepaid credit to recharge on my phone. I have their number and the time it was recharged but that's it. I've tried calling but they dont answer. I've messaged them but wont tell me their name. Is there anything i can do with their number and the phone company? or would that be breaching their privacy. Im dumbfounded how they got the authorization code.

I am sure this is something you can only deal with the mobile operator, unfortunately...
