help with gas and electric.

I am on a prepay meter for gas and electric. I am with southern energy. It is csoting me aroung £15.00 a week on both so £30.00 a week. we are not working and are on benifits at the mo. I don't really understand all the things about the charges ect. I just wondered if it would be cheaper going with someone else and what do i look for.

    Look on the comparison sites and choose 'prepayment meter' as current and future payment options and see what alternative tariffs are available in your region. If your arrears are £150 or less then you are permitted to change supplier.

    £15 per week for heating in this weather is not expensive (not fun if you are not getting sufficient heat for it, though.)
