You are on a social tariff. These are not given on comparison sites as they are not available to everyone.

You can of course use the comparison site to see what is the cheapest option generally available in the marketplace. Use any current tariff, input your annual consumption in kWh and compare the cheapest price to what you currently pay. (ignore any suggested savings as the starting tariff will be wrong) The comparison sites allow for pre-payment meters.

You will need to contact the individual companies directly should you wish to compare their social tariff options. Note eligibility for social tariffs vary by supplier.

contact the energy savings trust, see if you qualify for any grants, in some circumstances they also help with the bills (depends on where you live)
