We will send you a final bill and, if your account is in credit, we’ll refund you automatically.

If you pay by Direct Debit and you have not cancelled your payments, we’ll refund you directly into your bank account.  Otherwise, we’ll send you a cheque.  Either way, your refund should be with you within 10 working days from the date on your bill....

When will I receive my refund from ScottishPower?

If you have a credit balance on your final bill, you should receive your refund automatically:

By BACS within five working days of the bill date if you’re a Direct Debit customer and we hold active bank details. By cheque within 10 working days of the bill date, if you’re a Direct Debit customer and we don’t hold active bank details, or if you’re not a Direct Debit customer.

With Direct Debit, we spread the cost of your energy evenly across the year. This means that you may build up a credit balance over the summer months. It is a good idea to leave this balance on your account to pay for the extra energy you’ll use during the winter.

If you wish to request a refund, this may mean we need to recalculate your monthly payment amount. Please log in to your online account  and provide us with up-to-date meter readings and we’ll check if your account is eligible for a refund. If you require a refund, please chat to us.

When you join ScottishPower, we will take an initial payment shortly after you come on supply. This ensures you start your account in credit and that if your energy usage is higher than anticipated, your account won’t go into a negative balance early on. As we gather more information about your usage, you can adjust your payment settings in your account....

We’ll send a copy of your final bill(s) to your forwarding address. This usually arrives within 14 days of your move out date, but it can take up to 6 weeks.

Please note, your Direct Debit will be cancelled once your final bill has been settled...
