Many UK households have waited months for their credit overdue to be transferred from Avro Energy to Octopus Energy, which is the new provider. However, there's still no timeframe for them to receive their credit.

It puts the responsibility on the merchant and card issuer, meaning that you can claim a chargeback if the company you purchased from goes out of business. But with all the bureaucracy that goes into the process, it can be intimidating.
DoNotPay can save you the trouble. We can help you get a refund from any company, including Avro Energy, Argos, easyJet, Amigo Loans, Trainline, and Wowcher. Read on to find out more.

Avro Energy Refund Policy
Octopus Energy, a company that took over Avro Energy, will pay domestic credit balances for Avro Energy's customers who are owed money. So, if you overpaid Avro Energy, you can request a refund from them. However:
- Octopus will only issue a refund if you have excess credit on your energy account than you need and you have an energy bill based on real meter readings in the last 14 days.
- If you were owed but left Avro before the takeover, your data is likely being imported into Octopus's system. Octopus is processing refunds in batches over the coming weeks.
- Since Avro Energy is collapsing, there's no official time frame for customers to receive refunds.
Issues You Might Encounter When Requesting a Refund from Avro Energy
When requesting a refund, the biggest problem that you'll run into is not knowing who to contact between Avro and Octopus Energy. Avro went out of business, and most of its customers were moved to Octopus.
If you decide to involve the Ombudsman, it would still be hard for the mediator to find fault on the part of Octopus Energy, particularly since Octopus absorbed many clients at a difficult time.
