Gb energy help

in Energy
Hi all,
I was in the middle of moving from GB energy to Iresa when I got an email from the energy club telling me they'd gone bust and I'd be moved to the Co op and that they'd have my money/credit. In the end I was successfully moved to Iresa but they don't have my money and told me the Co op or gb have it.
So confused in how I get my money back. Any thoughts? Could call Co op but not a customer....
Thanks. Nick

The losing supplier has up to 6 weeks to produce a final bill from the date of the actual transfer of supply. I transferred from GB to Iresa on the 5th December. If I get a final bill before Christmas it will be a bonus. Ofgem has guaranteed that the Coop will honour all credits.

My experience was... Phone the old GB Energy phone number:
"Call us on 0800 6444 451 (8am - 8pm, Monday - Friday, closed public holidays)"
It will be answered by Coop Energy and they can pull up all your account details, and let you know how the process is progressing.0 -

Yes - but money not yet in Bank. I called GB this morning and spoke to a very nice lady who had a brilliant Christmas with her 3 year old daughter, and who is looking forward to child number 2 in 8 weeks time who raised my Final Bill as we waited for her computer to do its thing. The Bill has now arrived and I was promised that my repayment would be made in the next few days. I have no reason to doubt that this will happen.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Hi all just to update, I couldn't get through on the phone to GB energy/ Co-op, ( line busy) so I emailed the contact address on GB energy site and lo and behold three days later I got a email reply saying my final bill was made up and refund should be in the bank within 10 working days. A happy bunny😁
Try the email approach if you are kept on the phone in a queue.0
