How to get British Gas Refund With the Help of DoNotPay

British gas is one of the most popular energy providers in the United Kingdom. Many people who seek stability when it comes to energy supply to their homes opt to go for the company. While the company has a broad market and is considered the UK's top energy provider by many, it also has its setbacks.

As of 1st January 2020, British Gas failed to notify their customers of the change in top-up provider, from Paypoint to Payzone. While the company has admitted to its failure to inform customers and agreed to refund about 270,000 customers, the process involved may be slow and tiresome.

That's why DoNotPay developed its latest product to assist people in getting a refund from British Gas. To learn and understand more about how it can do so, read through the rest of this article.

How to Get a British Gas Refund on Your Own

British Gas has claimed that they have already made payments close to £1.48 million to customers who were affected by the changes they made on 1st January 2020. If you were one of the impacted customers, you are liable to get a refund.

There are also certain situations in which you can get a refund. For instance:

1. You relocated to another place
2. You changed your supplier

With that said, here is how you can ask for a refund:

British Gas Refund Policy

According to the British Gas refund policy, you can ask for a refund at any time, provided you have the company owing you some money. Suppose you moved into another location or switched to a new supplier. In that case, the company will automatically refund any credit remaining after you have concluded paying the final bill, provided the company has your bank information or new address.

If you decide to close your energy account, British Gas has stated that it will refund your credit into your bank account or mail you the cheque in the account holder's name. However, if you close two accounts but still owe the company money on one of them, they will use any credit left in the other account to pay.

How Long Will It Take To Receive a British Gas Refund?

If you happen to have any credit remaining on your energy account, the company will automatically refund you the money about 14 days after your account is closed. If you don't receive your money back, then you should get in touch with their customer service for further assistance. If you normally pay British Gas after getting the bill, the company will mail a cheque to your new address, provided you inform them where you moved to.
