A painful refund experience

I have been insured with SAU for slightly over two years with one claim registered and the service was great. I recently sold the insured car on the 30th of June and called in to cancel on the 31st. Requested for the refund since I pay in advance and for obvious reason that I don't have the item (car) anymore. I called in to follow up on the refund, only to realise that it was only authorised on the 3rd of June and will take up to 7 working days to refund. I spoke to Nathaniel Nicholson who could not give me a date and was really nonchalant or less interested in listening or answering direct concerns. This is not the first time I'm querying a refund and it is a painful experience every time. I have never missed a premium, so why is paying so difficult
