Hi @haxdroid,

We’re here to help!

If you’ve switched to a new supplier, it can take 4 to 6 weeks from this date for us to fully close your account down and verify the final balance. This is due to an industry process called 'validation' which takes place between your new supplier and us.

Once this has been completed, we can issue a cheque refund of your remaining credit, which can take a further 2 weeks to arrive in the post.

If it’s been longer than 6 weeks, please get in touch so we can chase this up. Due to high contact volumes at the moment we’d advise against calling the team unless it’s an emergency. However, you can message us on Facebook or Twitter with your account number, (or address and post code), full name and DoB and we can look into this for you

Thanks,

Nancy

I switched supplier and there was money on my smart meter. How do I get this refunded? Do I have to wait for you guys to do it, or do I need to call in and request it myself?
