prepayment meters with scottish power

I am currently with scottish power for both gas and electric and using a prepayment meter, does anyone know if it would be cheaper to pay by direct debit.

Thanks to all in advance.

    easy, yes it would
    Don'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.

    Presumably you are aware that you cannot pay for your energy consumption using Direct Debit whilst you have prepayment meters fitted.

    You can consult a comparison site to see how much you could potentially save if you were to have credit meters.

    Note that the supplier may not agree to a request from you for credit meters. If they do, a charge may be applied and they may also request a sizeable security depost to be lodged with them.

    Whilst on the comparison site, you can see if switching to another provider (keeping the prepayment meters) could save you money.
