Repayment of credits from failed energy companies - British Gas

Has anyone had success in getting repayments of failed energy company credits from British Gas?  I was a customer of Neon Reef which failed before Christmas owing me over £600. I have waited patiently for British Gas to acknowledge this credit without any success. They are impossible to contact. They have a chat box but only a robot to talk to. Their complaints page also seems to be non-functional. I would appreciate any hints as to how to get things moving?

    You cant. It will be refunded when it is refunded by the Neon administrators, British Gas have no say in this or no part in the process.

    Just for clarity, BG are just waiting for NR to produce the final bills and provide a list to BG of the credit amounts for those owed money.
    NR do not actually transfer any funds to BG, and it is common for the SoLR to assist and facilitate the production of the final bills as they also agree and use the meter readings from those bills as their opening reading for the day they were appointed as SoLR.
    Each case is different though so the degree of participation of the SoLR is always variable.
