Legal notice to get your advance refunded

You paid in advance for goods or work that never came, and the money was not returned. An advocate's notice demands the refund by a fixed date.

Use this if

  • You paid a booking, token or advance amount
  • The work or delivery did not happen
  • The other side promised or owes a refund

What we ask before you pay

  • What the advance was for
  • Date, amount and mode of payment
  • Why it was not delivered
  • Any refund promise

Documents to add after you pay

  • Payment receipt or bank statement
  • Quotation, order or agreement
  • Messages about delivery and refund

Please note

Frequently asked questions

Is this different from a consumer complaint?

What if I paid in cash?

Receipts or messages help. Tell the advocate.

Can I claim compensation?

The advocate can include a claim where the facts support it [Advocate to confirm].

What if the seller is a business abroad?

Tell the advocate. Delivery and enforcement may be harder.

Do I upload documents before paying?

Who writes the notice?

An enrolled advocate, not software. You approve the final text before anything is sent.
