Hi folks,

I moved home and took a dual fuel EDF deal, I closed my previous accounts with EON for Electricity and British Gas for Gas - their final bill showed me a £100 credit (yay!). Do you know how long it would take for them approximately to refund me? Their websites are not so clear on this...

thanks!

    Up to 6 weeks. And with BG you may find that you have to 'remind' them.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Hiya manub:hello:

    When you change supplier the new supplier will pass the meter readings on to the old supplier who will use these to close your accounts to.

    The change of supply process takes about 4-6 weeks and you will receive a refund for any credit once you have had the final bill.

    If you have an online account with E.ON we will send you an email when the final bill is ready to view.

    Also, if you have a Direct Debit still open the credit will go back to your bank account, if not we can just send a cheque.

    Hi Helena,

    I received already the final bill and my direct debit is still active, and I have already my new supplier in my new place. I guess it will be just a matter of weeks then? Thanks!

    That's great then,

    Yes it should only be a couple of weeks, but I can double check this if you need me to?

    What date was the final bill?

    Oh, just a couple of days ago then.

    So, yes give it two weeks for the refund to come through to your bank account.

    But as I say if you need me to check anything just let me know, it's no problem at all :D

    Thanks Helena,

    If I don't receive the refund by 2 weeks I'll definitely contact you back - thanks for being helpful!
