Martin Lewis urges households to check energy refund eligibility as providers sit on £3bn worth of credit

• Martin Lewis has advised homeowners to check their energy accounts for potential refunds from their suppliers.
• He highlighted that energy providers are collectively holding around £3bn in customer credit, much of which should be returned.
• This surplus credit often builds up through direct debit payments, particularly after the higher energy usage during winter months.
• Customers should assess their accounts in May to see if they hold more than a month and a half's worth of credit.
• If excessive credit is found, customers are urged to contact their energy supplier to request an explanation or a refund.
