How do I go about forcing a company to refund my money for product that was ever received?
I purchased a sofa for cash from furniture company about 5 months ago. I was told that it would take 8-10 weeks for the “custom order”. About 2 1/2 months ago I made several calls and emails about the status of my order only to get the runaround. Approximately, a month after, customer service confirmed the order was cancelled and a refund would be issued in 7-9 days via credit card refund. To date, still no refund. I got the owner on the phone again and he said “they have no excuse for the delay but the refund will take another 7-8 days”. I just need direction to force their hand and get my money back.

You can send a letter to the owner of the store informing him that if you haven't received the entire refund in the amount of _______ within one week of the date of this letter, appropriate legal action will be taken without any further notice.
Don't mention the following information in the letter. If the letter doesn't result in you receiving your refund by the deadline, you can file a lawsuit in Small Claims Court for the amount of your refund plus court costs. Court costs would include the court filing fee and process server fee.
