Warrant of Entry EDF

Sorry for posting this a second time as i think i posted in the wrong section
Guys.
I need some advice. I have got into a situation with my EDF bill and today when i got back home i had a letter to say they have come round to either disconnect or fit a prepay meter.
As i was not at home they have to now go to the local magistrates court to get a warrent of entry.
I have called EDF and said i can pay the full balance on the 30th of this month which they have noted but cant stop this process. How long does it take to get the warrent as i just need 18 days to play with and it will be clear
Thanks for any advice you can give

Hours or a couple of days.
If you had been as diligent in repaying your debt over the previous 18 weeks you would not have missed out by 18 days.0 -
Kim please dont judge me, i am just hitting a hard patch and it would be paid off in 18 days i just need to know how much time i have to play with0

What Kim is saying is it takes quite a while and a lot of correspondence ignored to get to the stage of someone arriving to disconnect or fit a PPM - 4.5months according to Kim.
If someone owed you money that you had been chasing for so long, would you wait 18 days on the faint promise that the debt would be reapid in full even though it hadn't been paid for months or even a suitable repayment plan agreed or kept to?
I think you've exhausted all your playing time."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
I know its my fault i am not saying its not. When the apply for the warrant am i told about it and given a date i can go to the court. if it is before the 30th of this month i would go and explain. EDF have noted that it will be cleard on that date but i just dont know how long between now and when the warrant gets issues. If it takes a few weeks then i am ok if it takes days then i am not. Please dont judge me i am just trying to find more info and sort this mess out.0

I don't think it takes them very long to get a warrant. Would a prepayment meter be so bad?0
-
Oh dear, if they have applied for the warrant you will have another couple of hundred to pay as they charge any of these costs to you.0
-
Well i have just called them back and paid 150 and this has bought me some time to get the rest paid off on the 30th. The first guy i spoke to was not helpful at all but the second guy was.
I really dont have any money for the month now
