Morning all,

Just checked my British Gas account, and my bil is in, it's nearly £700 :eek: :eek:
got till the 14th April to pay, and i am with out a doubt not going to be able to pay this !!!
So my options are join there payment scheme - this is gonna be around £300 a month which i'm still gonna struggle with.
Or a pre payment meter to pay off the debt - does anyone know roughly how much they would take a week, electric debt being near £300 and Gas being near £400 ??

Thanks

Prepayment meters they would spread it over 12 months unless they saw proof of benefits usually.

I'd be looking into why your bills are that high <shock>. What sort of house/flat do you live in ? Do you have energy saving bulbs everywhere and make sure everything is unplugged when not in use ?

first of all did you never check how much useage you were using and try to save some enegy somewere or did you just never thought about it until you got your bill(strange these days peeps check what they use,well i do)
