Gas and electricity?

Question

how can I change from pre-payment meters to direct debit for my gas and electricity

Answer 1

You will need to contact your current supplier to request the exchange of meters.  They will carry out the relevant credit checks and may request a security deposit in some cases (typically £180), which is refundable once they have established that you are a good payer at the end of the first 12 months following the exchange.

The supplier may also insist you pay be direct debit or other monthly installment plan.  Remember that a 'normal' meter is a credit meter so you are always paying in arrears as with credit cards & loans etc.

Be aware that it can take up to a month for the exchange request to be completed,

Answer 2

If you are not in debt with your suppliers, then all you need to do is contact them to change the meters.
