Tens of millions of pounds are being held by energy companies after customers who have left them fail to have a credit balance returned.
A energy industry website My Energy Credit which represents the Big 6 energy companies has launched a fresh campaign to encourage past customers to claim back money that is rightfully theirs.
Originally the website only offered an online route to claiming a repayment, and subsequently they operated a centralised system, but now they have replaced this with telephone numbers for each individual company they represent and a Freepost address for each.
Mark Bower, Managing Director of Moneymaxim.co.uk, who offer both an Ofgem approved Energy Switching service and their in house Energy Monitor programme says the step is a welcome addition to the options customers have.
However he feels it's a pity that smaller energy suppliers are not included, as the company have seen firms such as First Utility find repaying credit balances a challenge. He says 'We saw one of our customers wait months for a refund of over £400, but often if the sum is modest customers let it slip their mind and forget chasing their refund'
If you are with a company not covered by the My Energy Credit programme MoneyMaxim recommend making a direct approach to them.
