Energy bills: I claimed back the £70 hiding in my energy account from my supplier - here's how you can too

• I discovered my energy supplier was sitting on £70 of my money after months of overpaying
• Millions of UK households are in a similar position, with £3.3bn in unused energy credit held by suppliers
• Most people overpay because of flat-rate direct debits and failing to submit regular meter readings
• I requested a refund and got the £70 back within a week – proof it’s easier than you’d think
