Prepay Meter Statement says I'm in credit!!

I've had my old card prepayment elec meter changed couple of weeks ago to the new plastic key system. I've now received a statement from Scottishpower saying I'm £165.31 in CREDIT. (no further action is required)

I cannot get thru to them at the minute by phone,

does this mean they owe me that amount......... and is it easy to get that money from them?

Many Thanks

  • yep ours used to go into credit, they only refund on demand, they will send a cheque, my missis used to like getting 50-60 quid a year back from them, but i prefered my top ups to strech that bit longer, so we had them alter the meter so it doesnt do it any more

    plastic keys doesnt sound like a new system to me? i thought that was the prerunner to the powercards?

    i dont need to read the post i can predict what it says, Eleci yep ring them and they post a cheque, british gas, never been able to get a cheque or any sence out of them.

    i tell them "i pay on a card, i shouldnt be in credit, can i have my money back"

    they say "you pay on a card you cant be in credit". "we dont owe you any money"
