Advice sought

A friend is with npower prepay. Recently got a massively inflated bill. Checked the meter and have sent them correct reading. Do not know what tariff it is, but the charges (from the display on the meter) are standing charge 0.15 p/wk & electricity 13.61 pkwh.

Would it be better (in terms of saving money) changing to another pre-pay supplier or changing to post pay?

Views gratefully received.

Thanks.

Changing away from a pre-payment meter may not be possible, and even if it is, some suppliers want payment and/or a substantial security deposit.
However, the best deals are available using a credit meter if your friend is prepared to adopt all the discounts available for things like regular monthly payments by DD, online paperless billing, etc.

I would however suggest your friend checks the comparison websites to see if there is not a better option for them as a pre-payment metered customer.

If there is any outstanding debt, then that could complicate matters.
