Fortuitously, you've come to the right place if you want a British Gas overpayment refund. In this complete guide, we'll walk you through the company's refund policy and how to get a refund if you qualify for one.

How to Get a British Gas Overpayment Refund on Your Own

To get a British Gas overpayment refund on your own, all of your accounts must be in good standing. In other words, if you overpaid your residential bill but your business bill is delinquent, you can't get a refund. If you qualify for a refund, you have a couple of options for recourse:

1. Calling and requesting a refund
2. Chatting online with a customer service agent

Calling to Request a Refund

If you want to call British Gas for an overpayment refund, you may do so by dialing 0333 202 9804. With that being said, do not expect to reach anyone outside the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM Monday through Friday. If you call outside these hours, you will be sorely disappointed.

We know it's frustrating that businesses seem to only operate while most people are at work and can't take time off to request an overpayment refund. Fortuitously, you can use DoNotPay to skip British Gas's phone queue and speak with a customer service representative directly.

Chatting Online With a Customer Service Agent

You can also chat with a customer service agent online to get a British Gas overpayment refund.

• Cheque if you paid by cash, electronic funds, or cheque
• Money sent to your card if you paid by debit or credit card
• BACs if direct debit was used to make your payment

How Quickly Can I Expect to Get My Refund?

You can expect to get your refund within two business weeks if you qualify for a refund. In addition to all of your British Gas accounts being in good standing, it is crucial that your meter reading is up-to-date.
