    1. Too much to let go
    2. Monthly
    3. Of course
    4. No family or neighbours to give to.

    the fact is that they are acting as bankers - if it was a subscription I could understand

    Is not an answer to kazwookie's question
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales

    Does the actual amount matter? Is there any legal difference if it's £20 or £200?

    The meat company is in effect working as a banker and should be regulated. Certainly our business is not allowed to sit on other peoples money because we should be regulated if do (we are in tea)
    Something you were presumably aware of and entirely happy with when you signed up to the deal and for many years since. It's a bit late to be calling for them to be regulated now.

    Of course it does! £200 may be worth a MCOL claim, £20 would not be. Also as the OP will be in this country for another 4 months, depending on the amount, it may or may not be unreasonable to expect them to actually spend this amount with the meat supplier.

    That's your opinion and makes no difference legally. The OP said it's "Too much to let go" so clearly, regardless of the actual sum, they feel it's worth fighting for.

    It's no-one's business how much it is, because we all know the OP won't win if he divulges. If it's a small amount he'll just get comments like "Why bother, it's only £x." And if it's a large amount he'll just get "OMG! Why are you paying that much for meat?! Is it the meat of endangered tigers?!"

    The sum bears no relevance to the OPs original question. From the details given so far it's safe to assume that it's a relatively large amount (as it's "too much to let go") but probably not into the thousands as it's only meat bought a few times a year.

    Yes, perfectly legal.

    There is no legal right to get a refund of shop credit.

    You would only have a right to turn your credit into cash if the T&Cs say you can do that.

    I suspect the shop is perfectly within its rights to say that you can only spend the credit, rather than getting a cash refund.

    I would live like a King and be having umpteen 'slap up' meals over the next four months.
