Clientele legal

I have had an incident where I bought building materials with Building material supplier called Build it, I had to cancel them due to wrong calculations and I had already paid and I canceled before the material could be delivered to me. I canceled the transaction within 5days of purchasing. I was charged 10% which I refused and I was refunded after 3weeks even thou I was told I will be refunded in the week after I canceled. I called Clientele legal to assist me as i believed I was ****** when I got my refund less 10% admin fee, the tried to contact the supplier no response I was then referred to the Ombudsman for intervention, the Ombudsman referred me back to clientele. It’s been a case of March even now still no resolution, I sent them emails even the response of the Ombudsman. My question is why would I be referred to the Ombudsman when they’re going to send me back to clientele. I am yet to get any response or indication of what is going to happen with my case it’s been 2weeks now. I have been paying them since 2014

This was just a PR stunt to save them from public scrutiny. The Ombudsman has sent me back to you, so how come my claim falls outside the ambit of my legal policy when the Ombudsman has sent me back to you.
