Airline refuses to issue a refund, keeps stalling
I booked tickets with Viva Air from Medellin to Miami (I was in Colombia at the time). The flight was in August and I booked it May 4th. I found different (better) flight so I cancelled it within 24 hours and requested a refund online.
I still haven't got my money and any conversation with customer service ends the same: they keep saying it's being processed and there's nothing else they can do.
It's been almost 8 months, what can I do? Is there anything I can do?

Was the fare actually (fully) refundable? Do you have a confirmation of the cancellation and the amount you are owed?

@jcaron Many airlines offer free cancellation within 24 hours of online booking, regardless of fare rules, although this is less common than it used to be.

If you used a card, dispute it with your card provider, attaching the order and cancellation confirmations as evidence.

I've a feeling that disputes need to be raised within six months. Even if that's officially the case, it's still worth talking to your bank -- they might extend the deadline because of the airline's slowness.
