Switching from BG prepayment to credit meter

According to a comparison service I think I will save a little cash switching from BG key prepayment meter to credit, but it's hard to tell as my tariff may not be listed.

'May not' because BG tell me it is called the Economy 7 tariff but I do not trust this information. I have never seen a tariff with this name listed in uswitch or any of the other comparison services.

I pay 11.02p/KWh peak and 4.49p/KWh on Ecomomy 7.

I do not use gas BTW.

First question: Does anyone know the correct name of my tariff?
Second question: Is it true that a BG credit meter would be cheaper?

WTIA

    Economy 7 Electricity tariffs are offered by most suppliers. You get 7 hours of cheap rate units at night but pay a bit more for the day units. Most comparison sites will ask if you have economy 7 when you are inputing your electricity data.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
