I purchased some children's suits on the online retailer sirri.co.uk. They were returned, and they did apparently refund me. However my useless bank returned the money to them instead of forwarding the payment under the current account switch scheme (payment was refunded 18th May, account closed on 19th as it switched to a new current account).
As a result sirri are refusing to engage in any conversation of sorting the refund. They only have an email address and an online chat. The phone number does not work at all. The bank are being equally useless really in saying I need to deal with it - they are washing their hands of it because they sent the money back and my account is closed (I've tried to open a dispute with the bank but it is proving very difficult)
I'm at a loss. If I need to - can I take this company to the small claims court for my refund? The whole situation is ridiculous and shouldn't have happened. But sirri are being as unhelpful as the bank!
There is some suggestion that this might be a Chinese company. They have a uk address on their website. Linked in suggests they are based in Dudley. How do I find out? And if they are Chinese, can I still fight this?
I'm not giving up without a fight!
