If you've paid for something that you haven't received and then find out the business has closed down, there are steps you can take to try to get what you paid for or get your money back.

If the business has been sold, you can ask the new owners for the goods or services, or for your money back. They only have to do this if they took on the previous owner’s liabilities when they bought the business, but some new owners might want to build goodwill with customers and put things right for you even if they don’t have to.
If the business is closing down because they can't repay their debts, you can register a claim for what you are owed. As a customer, you are an unsecured creditor. Secured creditors like banks, employees and Inland Revenue, take priority over you for getting their money back, so there are no guarantees you will get anything. For a registered company, register your claim with the receiver, liquidator or administrator (check the Companies Office register for contact details). If the business is not a registered company, you can make a claim with the Insolvency and Trustee Service.
If the business is not a registered company (check the Companies Office register if you're not sure if it's a registered company), the owner is personally responsible. You can try contacting the owner to ask them to provide you with your goods or to give you a refund. If this doesn't work you have the option of making a claim through the Disputes Tribunal or District Court.
Another option is to try asking your bank for a chargeback - this is when the bank reverses a payment made by credit or debit card.

Andrew spoke about the most common issues and challenges young people are facing ‘out in the world’, as revealed by our report. He highlighted issues in the areas of employment, renting, vehicle insurance, immigration, ID, and tertiary education and the areas where policy change is needed to better protect and support youth. The findings are based on analysis of enquiries to the CAB from around 5,000 clients under the age of 25.
