EDF Energy and paying by direct debit

Hi all

Both hubby and me going bankrupt in April (need this time to find the fees :o ) and we have been advised by CCCS that as we pay monthly by direct debit for our gas and electric that our energy company may not let us continue with this and we might have to have a costly token meter installed.

Wer'e with EDF, does anyone have any experience of them or any advice?

Many thanks in advance

Rach

    Hi Rach

    It depends on whether you have always been up to date with bills as the advice given says you may have to have meter.

    Give them a ring and ask them saying this is an option to be considered.

    Are you including arrears in your BR?

    The only energy who seem to have a problem with BR's of late is British Gas, we haven't heard of any others who have been troublesome.

    I'm not in any arrears, fully up to date so nothing that I would want to include in br.

    And to think I was considering switching to British Gas :eek:

    Thanks again
