End of contract refund.
Hello, Can someone explain in detail why suppliers are allowed 6 whole weeks to generate a final bill, and are then allowed ANOTHER 10 days to issue a refund?

With OVO waiting for the crash?
Investigating whether to wait of switch seems to show that to wait and let OFGEM inform me of my new supplier is not a big deal and the new company takes on the service and my credit.
