Pre-payment meters
I have gotten behind with my gas and electric payments. I had offered to set up payments that will be £20 per month more than the actual monthly costs. I was informed this is not acceptable and would have to have pre-payment meters installed. I was due to have them installed on the 19th december but had to re-arrange till the 6th January due to doctors appointment. I waited in all morning and they did not show. I have since been informed this may not be the case. Could anyone advise please?

How many plans have you failed to keep to, also how far in arrears are youDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

What may 'not be the case'?
If you are unable to keep to an agreed repayment plan on credit meters then voluntary PPMs are often the best solution.
As stated above, it depends on the debt. Your offer will repay only £240pa-how big is the debt?No free lunch, and no free laptop

Rearrange the appointment, you should also get some compensation (think it's 20 quid but not sure) for the no-show.0
