Merging EDF energy accounts
I've recently had my separate gas and electricity accounts under EDF merged into a single account, although it took them long enough to do it. If anyone else has been through this can you tell me what happens to the credit left on the old accounts, it doesn't seem to have been transferred over.

Problem with npower fixed DD increase
