.. I find that ringing them, staying calm and not swearing is good, face to face is even better as it's harder to fob off. After two calls without success, I write advising that they have failed to provide goods I have paid for and advise them of referral to trading standards giving them a timeframe to either provide goods or refund money plus the cost of my time. This generally works and I do get a goodwill payment in most cases. I also would use the local press as all their clients, friends, family and neighbours knowing what a poor business person you are is damaging and yet priceless!
