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.0
