UK households are being urged to check whether they are due money.

The UK's energy watchdog Ofgem says around £240 million of energy credit is currently sat in closed account balances and can be reclaimed by consumers.

Data shows that 1.9 million closed accounts may have credit in them.

Now, Ofgem and trade association Energy UK are urging bill payers to contact their old suppliers to check if they are due money.

More than 90 per cent of closed account balances are returned automatically, and suppliers will always try and make sure outstanding credit is refunded, according to Energy UK.

However, watchdogs are urging consumers to check letters and emails for final energy bills , and contact their supplier or log into old accounts if they think they’re owed money.
