  • I’ve just moved out of a property, what do I need to do?

    We know moving to a new house is a stressful time, so we try to keep it simple.

    Please complete a few details on our Online Form and we'll confirm when your account has been closed and the final statement generated, or if we need any more information. We may need to ask for evidence to confirm your move-out date, but this can normally be confirmed by us contacting the utility supplier, who may also be your managing agent, building owner or housing provider.

    If you have any other questions, please just Get in Touch with our team and we'll be happy to help.

  • My move-in date is incorrect, what can I do?

    Your move-in date should be the date you became responsible for payment, which may be the date on your lease, tenancy agreement or your completion date, if you are a leaseholder or freeholder.

    This date may be before you moved into your home and some charges such as fixed daily charges or usage charges may be incurred during this time. You will be liable for these charges.

    If this date is incorrect, please just Get in Touch with our team and we'll happily help get this resolved for you. We may need to ask for evidence to confirm your move-in date, but this can normally be confirmed by us contacting the utility supplier, who may also be your managing agent, building owner or housing provider.

  • I think I’ve overpaid on my utilities, how do I get a refund?

    If your account is in credit we are happy to process a refund if;

    • Processing a refund will not bring your account into debt.
    • Your most recent bill was generated using an up-to-date meter reading.
    • Your account is in credit of over £5.
    • Your payment was made online, over the phone or by direct debt.

    If your account is in a credit of under £5 and you have moved out of the property and are no longer liable for the utility bills, you may request a refund directly from your utility provider as we will no longer hold the funds available to process the refund following the change of tenancy.

    All refunds will be processed within 7 days. If there are any issues, we will contact you immediately to keep you informed.

    A refunded payment can only be refunded to the same account it originated from.

    To request a refund, please contact our office either by telephone 0333 880 3115 or by email to hello@mysycous.com so that we can confirm the necessary details before any refund is completed.

  • I’ve just moved into a property, how do I clear the debt on my PAYG meter?

    Don't worry! We can get this sorted for you.

    If you have just moved in and a debt is showing on the 'pay-as-you-go' (PAYG) meter, just Get in Touch with our team.

    Our team will need to make sure your account has been set-up. We'll make sure you're not out of pocket for any charges incurred before you became responsible for payment. Whilst we are sorting your account we will remove this debt from the meter.

    If you are found to be responsible for some or all of this debt, then this will be added to the PAYG meter as a debt balance or balance deduction.

    You can also check out our Help and Support pages for a range of useful user manuals and reading your meter, PAYG meter and other useful information.

  • How can I read my meter?

    Your meter should show either a digital or mechanical counter display.

    Care should be taken when reading your meter to identify any decimal places, which may also be indicated by a different size or colour counter.

    If your meter screen is blank, you may need to push a button to show the meter reading. Digital displays may show information other than your reading. Your meter reading will normally be the default display.

    It is also worth checking information in this section for other information about your meter, including How can I locate the meter in my property?.
