The Core Strategy: Maintain a Master Tracker
The most effective tool at your disposal is a simple spreadsheet. This document will serve as your single source of truth, providing clarity and evidence throughout the refund process.
Essential Data Points to Record:
| Column Heading | What to Record | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Refund ID/Number | The unique identifier provided by LoveGoBuy or the original merchant. | Essential for any query. This is your primary reference number. |
| Key Dates | Date of return, date LoveGoBuy confirmed receipt, and promised refund date. | Helps identify delays objectively and manage expectations. |
| Communication Log | Dated summaries of all interactions (emails, live chats) including agent names and key promises. | Creates an undeniable timeline and record of commitments made. |
| Status & Progress Notes | Regular updates like "Awaiting merchant confirmation" or "Refund issued by merchant." | Gives you a quick overview of where the refund stands. |
