Visa refund

Hi I want to share my stressful experience, I went to apply for a UK transit visa at TLs in Port Elizabeth on the 12 of January 2024, then the consultant told me I can only apply for the visa online and also make payments there, then I did apply for the visa and paid online I then added a priority visa that cost me 529 euros,unforseen circumstances occurred, I had to cancel my application online for refund,while on their website it state that if there are no biometric photos done I am entitled for a full refund,that I will get verdict after 28 working days,the days passed, I yet then went online to check the refund email address to escalate my issue there was no reply, then I started to call the UK embassy after that 28 working days,yet then went back to tls Port Elizabeth the consultant there said he can not help me I must take this to the embassy, I called the UK embassy in Pretoria they said I should call the UK embassy directly, I've been calling since today I haven't got my money back,there was no service delivery from them but yet they still they holding on to my money and it's very stressful, I really need some assistance on this.

Good day I just got email from the embassy only refunding Me for the transit visa only,but not for the priority visa wich costs 500 euros, I just emailed them letting them know that the amount they refunding is not fully paid,as they mentioned that my bank hasn't allocated the funds to my account, and I also showed the proof of payment on the email as well
