The 52-year-old said that around 800,000 households could be due money back, with figures showing that a staggering £141 million is sitting unclaimed across 349 council areas. Most of it’s down to overpayments that happened when people moved homes — often without even knowing they’d paid too much, reported the Daily Mail.
