utilites

sort_me_own_yard_out

a quick question regarding utilities. I have debts with E-on of around £1200 they provide both my gas and electric, would I be best letting E-on putting a pre payment meter in now with the debt on the meter and hopefully when i finally go bankrupt they will let me carry on being with them and just have the debt wiped from my meter or if i don't have one installed what will happen to my utilities?

Also I have debts with BT too who provide my landline and broadband will they remove their services? if so will it be near on impossible to find another provider.

I just had a moment of panic last night wondering what will happen as I live on my own with two children and dont have anyone that will be able to take over my services.

Usually a supplier will just close your account and set up a new one with nil outstanding balance, or reset any prepayment meter to zero. This applies to both gas/elec and phone suppliers. If you're worried you could always call them and ask what their specific policy is.

Often they will either want to install a pre-payment meter following BR or want a deposit up front for utilities.
I have no personal knowledge though as I didn't owe any money for bills.

i owed roughly £400 to sse.
they closed the account and set me up a new one, no pre pay meter no deposit. brilliant
