I have a query. I had approached a reputed consulting firm in Bangalore for immigration to Australia. They told me about their consultation fee whereby they would guide me on the paperwork work, submit to the embassy and get the processing done on my behalf. They gave me unsigned contract papers so that I could go thru them and then both parties could sign once I attach all the relevant documents ( work experience letter etc.). I gave the a cheque of Rs. 55000/- as initial payment assuming that I would be going ahead with my immigration plans. However shortly some mjor personal problem arose due to which I had to drop my plan and none of us signed the contract. I have been sking them to retrurn the cheque which has already been credited to their account. They are not refunding the money though no papers were signed, no processing of any documents was done and no services related to immigration was given to me.
What should i do? pls advise
