After 6 months of chasing, I have not received an explanation about the quality of the products I had purchased, I have to  jump lot of hoops and no explanation). Instead I was offered a refund and I do not want to use their third party, Candex Support to process the refund as I am uncomfortable with sharing my details. 
Am I entitled to ask for a cheque ?  how I would like the refund to be paid to me?

    Normally refunds are processed to the original payment method, so what details did you share with them to pay?

    Very few companies use cheques now. Outdated & expensive method.
    Payment should go back via the same method as payment

    I had made the purchase from a shop/ retailer, and had to contact the manufacturer about the quality of their product, I was after an explanation on the quality (rather than a refund).

    It's not at all clear to me what your grounds are for seeking a refund from Candex.The reason is critical in consumer rights.

    There are several complaints about Candex on Reddit. Is your issue similar to this one?
     'Customer wants me to invoice through Candex? Any experience with this?
    https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/comments/1b6fgs2/customer_wants_me_to_invoice_through_candex_any/

    Candex has poor feedback on TrustPilot, especially about refunds
    https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/candex.com

    Are you in UK? Is this a business or consumer transaction?

  • Not sure what Candex is OP, is this a marketplace?

    What did you buy and who did you buy it from? 

    Any reason not to share details with Candex, if they are a marketplace isn't that part of the service, you don't have to share details with the buyer/seller and Candex (who are presumably more trustworthy) handle the data?

    So is it a goodwill payment rather than a refund, if you did not pay them.

    Candex seem to be a payment co that work with many large companies to process their payment, like other payment co's they are fully compliant.

    I had paid the retailer for the products  and was asking whether there is a change in the product, and was referred  to the manufacturer, who cannot answer me even though I have supplied all they have asked.  I am not sure whether it is a refund or goodwill. I prefer not to share my details if I can help it.

    Yes, I did have a look and review are not encouraging (seem to do with their admin, hence my OP).

    You don't seem to answer many questions asked.
    Who is offering the refund/goodwill - the retailer or the manufacturer?
