Switching from SSE Prepayment
Moved into new flat and it has SSE pre-payment meters. I would like credit meters as easier to manage with direct debit. SSE said they will charge £104 to change both meters? Anyone have any experience of switching supplier and they will do for a better rate or even better, free!? Thanks
