"The UK's energy watchdog is urging consumers to reclaim their forgotten funds as 240 million in energy credit sits in closed accounts. Ofgem and trade association Energy UK say anyone who may be due money should contact their old supplier. Consumers who have moved home in the last five years may have money left in their accounts, but that cannot be refunded because their contact details have not been updated."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and funds on-the-ground reporting through reader donations rather than paywalls. The outlet produces investigations and documentaries, and positions free access to journalism as paid for by those who can afford it. Ofgem and Energy UK report about 240 million in energy credit sitting in closed accounts, with data showing 1.9 million closed accounts holding credit. More than 90 percent of closed account balances are returned automatically, but some refunds fail because contact details are outdated. Consumers are advised to check final bills and emails, log into old accounts, or contact former suppliers to reclaim funds.
