disobliging
Refusing to assist
Disobliging means unhelpful or unaccommodating, suggesting a refusal to do small favors or courtesies: The disobliging clerk wouldn't even check the back room.
The word implies deliberate unwillingness rather than inability—someone who could help but chooses not to.
It's somewhat formal and old-fashioned, more common in British usage.
