Bulldog activation charge refund

I have canceled bulldog broadband service within 7 days of ordering and moved to a new address. I have requested activation charge refund since 2006 and everytime when I call up customer service they told me that the cheque was sent to my new address. But I have received nothing in my mailbox in this one year and a half and I really don't know what to do next.

    Call them back? They'll be the only people who can issue you a cheque.

    You could take a hard line with them. (If they are in England or Wales, and you can find their address)

    Send a letter before action giving them 7 days to pay or else you will take legal action.

    If they ignore you, issue a county court summons via money claim online.

    thank you for your advise! could I just send off an email to their complaint dept instead? and should I mention anything about money claim online in the letter or just simply say legal action?

    and this is where I should go to issue the summon after the notice period right?

    Emailing is both a waste of your time & theirs. Send them a letter, recorded mail to their head office.

    yes they do. I actually reminded them each time not to send to my old address and checked word-by-word for the delivery address

    You need to send a letter before action.

    "legal action" will do.
