    Not sure why this should be Octopus (they may be part of that group but they don't necessarily do Octopus payments), SECCL deal with lots of financial organisations as far as I can see - Penfold Pensions, Chip Savings etc etc

    Edited to add (and clarify):  Here are a few of their clients:  https://seccl.tech/customers/

    More likely to be nothing to do with energy I'd think.
    Secci was acquired by Octopus pre 2020 according to google 
    Maybe, but that doesn't mean a SECCI bank reference is anything to do with energy payments.  They are agents for payments for lots of outfits.

    Yes they are but when you don't recognise the credit you have to make some educated guesses from where it comes from and as Octopus was mentioned maybe they are on Octopus energy

    Ok, I'm not going to win this as you seem to insist on Octopus being most likely.  So this is my last response!  SECCL are an outfit that manage payments.  For lots of organisations.  Octopus are mentioned as they own SECCL. But it's worth thinking about SECCL's actual clients: https://seccl.tech/customers/

    (and by the way I'm with Octopus - they don't pay back the Gov rebate, they reduce the DD)

    It's not about winning or losing it's a discussion 

    It's easy enough for the OP to find out they are based in Bath

    Just wait a few days and see whether a letter turns up to explain it. In the old days you'd receive a letter with a cheque, these days the money arrives first followed by a letter.

    How much is the credit? £67 by any chance?
  • Thanks for all your suggestions. To the best of my (limited) knowledge, I have no connection with Octopus (my energy provider is EON). The credit is somewhat higher than £67. The credit appeared a few weeks ago and there has been no letter, e-mail or other communication. So still confused!

    Thanks for following this up. It wouldn't be £67 even if it was Octopus as they don't do the Gov handout this way. 

    Have you looked to see if you have any connection with the SECCI clients listed on this link https://seccl.tech/customers/ (note that that's not a full list)?
  • Hello again. I have looked at the link suggested and while I appreciate that it is not a full list, nevertheless I don't recognise any on the list that is there.
