    did you pay the overcharge? By how much is your account actually in credit now? (or is it not in credit)? You can ask for a refund of any credit balance. Whether they give it you is a different matter....
    Indecision is the key to flexibility :)
  • If you're "in credit" you can ask for that credit to be refunded by cheque. 2 minute phone call. :)

    They were charging us a different tarrif than what our contract stated, which
    we hadn't noticed until we were querying a high bill, we had been overcharged for a year a total of £1500

    I will call them and ask for a refund by cheque :beer:
