duplicated credit card debit...from 1998

In 1998 I bought a PC and paid with a credit card. The PC didn't work so I returned it. The company that sold it rang me up about 3 months later to say it looked like they'd charged my card twice and ony refunded me once, so they owed me money. I said I couldn't imagine this would have happened without me noticing, and anyway I'd moved and had no way of looking at the statements, so I let it go. I was so caked up with dosh at the time that I wouldn't have noticed 1,600 anyway. I just rediscovered the CC statements I mislaid and they were right: I *was* billed twice for a 1,600 PC. The company's not the same company any more. Can I claim my money back?

Any chance of installing OE-Quotefix? I mightn't mind your crossposting nearly as much if it's even remotely legible.

The merchant. There is almost certainly a shorter limitation period for the bank.
