EDF Smart Meter & NSH Issues

Massive Octopus price hike - help!

British Gas overpayments
I left British Gas over a year ago now having joined Octopus. I am sure I inadvertently paid to much by sending another tenants meter reading during my time with British Gas. I was wondering if there is any chance I could get reimbursed the excess money that I paid?
