Capped gas and electric

Hi I have both gas and electric prepayment meters fitted due to debt owing, on moving into the property Npower told me estimated payment for direct debit each month, so I paid it each month, then to be given a huge bill as I apparently should have been paying alot more even though it was Npower who told me amount to pay each month originally:eek:. Anyway does anybody know if you can still have capped rate when you have the meters in, also with the debt on them? many thanx

    Not as far as I know.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    Next to no chance unfortunately. I think you'd be lucky to get a fixed price even if you're on receipt of bill.
