    It's probably a good thing to be in credit with winter coming up, as that way they are less likely to increase your direct debit, but saying that, if you are in credit, you are basically giving THEM an interest free loan! :eek: Could you ask for some of it back but leave yourselves a little bit in credit just in case?

    Definately get it back.... its ur money, so u should get the interest on it, not ur utility company!

    Ref the eBay packaging, when u go to Tesco, look in the apple/pear boxes for bubble wrap, as most of them have at least two layers in - thats where I get all my bubble wrap from (Sainsburys tho). They also usually have a fair bit of brown paper that u can use for stuffing in the boxes too.

    My parents are in credit at some point each year - they just ring them up and ask for it. They usually get a cheque.

    I always phone them for a refund, you should have the phone number on a bill or get it from the website. Just be prepared to hold for a while or wait to be diverted to India!

    I always ask for MY money back no matter how big/little the amount is!
