Help getting away from prepayment - or cheaper tarrif

oxfordmark

Hello

Currently with Click pay as you go for gas + electric...

We tried to go to a Direct Debit tarrif but were rejected due to credit rating..


I heard somewhere that EDF do a prepayment for the same rate as direct debit customers.

Or do any of you know of suppliers that are less strict when it comes to credit checks for a proper tarrif.

Thanks in advance

Npower's and BG's (i think) pp tarriffs are both currently cheaper than their stnadard tarriffs, dunno how long it'll last.

BG have just announced they are reducing their ppm prices.

Where did you see this news? I hope the cut isnt just due to the VAT cut!!

Hey Mark,

If you have not done it already I would suggest that you do a comparison with a few of the main comparison sites, you will be able to determine straight away who will be the cheapest for you and your specific usage for pre-payment meter's.

Also if you want even more advice relating to getting on a direct debit tariff, maybe try and contact https://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk, they have taken over the role of EnergyWatch and will be able to advise you accordingly.

Hi

were looking into switching to Ebico.. They seem cheaper than what we pay now... Would they do a meter exchange to DD?
