Any luck with Emirates refunds?

I was due to fly to Japan in April with Emirates. I booked the fight through Expedia. The flight was cancelled obviously but I cannot get a refund. Emirates say I must request through Expedia and Expedia say i must get it from Emirates. I just go round in an endless email loop with them.
Surely refusing to refund for a service you did not provide meets the legal definition of fraud?

Assuming you paid Expedia and they paid Emirates you will deal with Expedia. Emirates will refund back the payment so unless your statement shows Emirates, any refund will be sent to Expedia who should then refund you.0

As above but would just add that Expedia are unlikely to refund you until Emirates refund them.0

Why have you waited so long? If you used a credit card, do an S75 claim. Much too late now for a chargeback.No free lunch, and no free laptop0

No doubt that would have raised your spirits.
Why were you messing around with Emirates and Expedia instead of going for a quick kill via a chargeback ?1 -

You had four months in which to be proactive but chose to rely on the largess of Emirates/Expedia.
To expect the Government to kick them out because you failed to exercise your legal rights within the appropriate timescale is not a sensible or likely outcome.0 -
Emirates have been refunding agents. They won’t refund you directly because you booked through Expedia so you aren’t their client. Expedia should have your refund and should be passing it on. You need to deal with them0
