    Hi Manner,

    At present we are only able to offer a no standing charge to pre-payment customers in our own area.

    If you want to e-mail me your detaisl to [EMAIL="onlinecomplaints@scottishpower.com"]onlinecomplaints@scottishpower.com[/EMAIL] I will look in to this for you.

    Kind regards
