Switching from Prepayment Meter

I have been on prepayment meter for over 2 years now, as prices are increasing i decided to do comparison and change to monthly DD or online tariff.

The last 12 months, i have paid about £560 on gas and £360 on electricity which is £920 for a year on 3 bedroom mid terrace house.

I have gone to Uswitch, Energy-helpline and Moneysupermarket to do my comparison, but there isn't any option for me to compare the cheapest provider on non prepayment meters.

As soon as i input all the details on each website, i only have the option to compare on prepayment and not other tariffs.
Any way round this please?
Though the vision may not be the true future of man but it can't be completely beyond his control.

    I'm not really sure why you are having a problem. On Uswitch for example you enter your payment method / plan type & it then asks the same question for the new plan (I've just checked). Al you need do is click on the option & choose your preferred method.

    You may also want to check whether any suggested providers will charge you to swap the meter and / or require a security deposit if they do so.

    It may also be worth a look at what ebico charges in your area - as they charge the same flat rate regardless of payment method
