Refund of credit on Npower account

I moved into a rental property in May and set the DD for £80 gas and £50 elec. I set it a little higher as was a bigger house than used to live in. I got a bill a month later showing I owed £82 ( they had not took the first payment as this stage). I manually adjusted the payment down to £100 (£60 gas + £40 elec) as I got a hunch I was paying too much. I got them to do a bill last week as I needed to know if my payments were actually too much or too little. It came back just now as £205 in credit and they would adjust my payments to £91 a month. Having the account with them for nearly 6 months what are the chances of a refund of the credit??
The £91 will clearly cover the future bills - better in my pocket than theirs!! Many thanks in advance.

    Hi MrBurns - Your D/debit level is supposed to cover the cost of a full years bills and as you started in May you still have a winter to go through, so your account should be in credit at this time of year

    If you only want to pay for what you have used, when you have used it, ask to go on a pay on receipt of bill tariff.

    Otherwise, it's as dogshome explains above :)
