harker0

I have currently have gas and electric on Prepay with scottish power and I want to change to credit meter on fixed direct debit..i have no debt on account. does anyone have any experience with this...how easy is it, quick or long process?

Do you have a good credit record and score? In other words, is there anything that would make you high risk for SP? How long have you had your prepay meters?

I think SP charge £125 per meter "deposit" for changing prepayment meters, not sure when you would get that back though (if at all)

You do get the deposit back after 1 year, however you may not need to pay it. If you have been their customer for over 1 year then they will do it for free. The meter exchange appointments are usually booked for 15 working days time. It's not a difficult or time consuming process at all.

Magentasue, Scot Power don't do credit checks for prepay to credit meters exchanges - as long as you have been with them for over a year with no debts outstanding then there will be no probs.

OK, but OP didn't say how long they'd had account with SP.

Will they change the meter even if I had debt with them before?

Long story but I ended up owing them £800 which is now cleared via the prepay meter.

Thanks

Most companies will ask you to have been debt free for a year.
