I overpaid my bill, can I get a refund?

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

💸 If you overpaid your bill and your account is in credit, the supplier may refund you. Suppliers’ terms and conditions may include:

👉 a limit on the number of refunds you can request in a 12-month period

💸 If you overpaid your bill and your account is in credit, the supplier may refund you. Suppliers’ terms and conditions may include:
👉 the amount your account must be in credit before you can request a refund
👉 a limit on the number of refunds you can request in a 12-month period
👉 the conditions that must be met for a cash refund.

Retailers, businesses, sellers, vendors or organisations have different rules about refunds, so you should check their terms and conditions or speak to someone in their accounts department. If the supplier has to pay a transaction fee to refund you, those fees may be taken out of the amount you get back.

You could also gather all your supporting documents that prove your claim. For example, your bank statement, which highlights the overpayment, relevant invoices or a copy of your credit contract.

ℹ️ For more information on alternatives to receiving cash back or situations where you may not be entitled to a refund, visit: cab.org.nz/article/KB00044622

Thinking about retirement? Maybe you’re already retired, you’re close to it, or you’re just dreaming of it in the distant future… Check out Stuff’s continuing partnership with Metlifecare, The Good Life.

This time, we’ve looked at the nutrient we should be focusing on as we age (and no, it’s not the carbs v fat debate!) plus some luxury rail travel - with gourmet food.

We also feature a fabulous 80s band, by which we mean the youngest member is 80!

Residents who packed out the lounge and waited patiently for a chance to meet the PM said they were ‘very impressed’ at Luxon’s determination to get around everyone who had turned out to see him – even as his team started to worry he would be late for his next engagement!
