Card, Cash or Cheque: how refunds work with a final bill
We can give you the answer for your type of account, once we know what your account number starts with. You can find your account number in MyAccount, and on your EDF bills, emails and letters.
My account number starts with '67'
When you close an account, we'll send you a final bill. If there is any credit on this final bill, we'll give you a refund.
How and when this happens will depend on why you closed your account.
You switched to a new supplier
You get a final bill within six weeks of completing your switch.
If you're in credit and usually pay by card, we'll refund your bank account within three working days of the date on your final bill.
Otherwise, we'll send you a cheque through the post within seven working days of getting your final bill.
You moved out
Once you've told us you're moving, we can close your account and create a final bill for you.
If you're in credit and usually pay by card, we'll refund your bank account within three working days of the date on your final bill.
Otherwise, we'll send you a cheque through the post within seven working days of getting your final bill - as long as we have your forwarding address.
