    Write a letter before action (google it for samples), giving them (say) 14 days to produce the refund.

    Send it recorded delivery.

    While you are waiting for their response, read about money claims online.

    I suspect they are overwhelmed. Did you pay by credit card?

    I would have thought so too, I wouldn't be doing a letter before action just yet. Give them a few weeks and try again.

    How long since you wrote to them? I would have thought that they would have a lot of claims coming in and the need to verify them and check all the details will make the process fairly time consuming.
