How to Get a PFP Energy Refund With No Hassle

Sometimes, you find yourself in a situation where you are dissatisfied with a product or service and want your money back. Many companies offer solutions to this problem in the form of a refund. However, getting your pounds back from companies like PFP Energy can be much more of a hassle than it needs to be.

PFP Energy was a small energy supplier that delivered power to around 82,000 customers. The company started in 2014 as Places for People Energy. However, due partly to the UK Energy Crisis, PFP Energy ceased trading on 7 September 2021, and their customers were automatically transferred to British Gas.

The transfer, however, doesn't change your ability to receive a refund from the company. And if you want the process to go smoothly, DoNotPay can make getting a as easy as tying your shoes.

PFP Energy Refund Policy

If you are a British Gas customer, and you've received a credit on your account, you are eligible for a refund. However, please note that before you request a refund, it would be best to check for the following things first:

  1. You don't have an outstanding balance on any account you have with British Gas. The credit amount may go toward paying off that balance if you do.
  2. The refund amount requested is from credit earned through payments you made to the account.
  3. Your accounts have been billed to a current metre reading from the last 28 days.
  4. The amount of your credit isn't based on an estimation of what you would be owed. You must provide the company with an accurate metre reading, especially if you've moved recently.
