How to change your electric & gas from a prepayment meter to a bill?

Question

what do the companies do? credit checks???

Answer 1

just fone company up to change meters.

Answer 2

if you have moved into the property and want the meter changing from a card payment, you just need to give them a ring and they should come out and do it.

HOWEVER if you have a prepayment meter because you got into arrears with a regular bill, the companies may refuse to come out and change the meter.

Answer 3

I do not think they do credit checks

we just phoned and asked to get the meters changed

Answer 4

If you want to stay with the same company, and providing you don't owe any debt, they should change them over for you, BUT, some charge, some don't.

If you want to go with a different company, they will change you over, but if you want to pay by direct debit, they would keep you on pre-payment for month or two just so they know how much you use for direct debit payments.
