Prepayment meter charge per week

Shonar0612

Hi everyone

Have just checked my prepayment to see if my debt has been transferred over as I had arranged to pay it off at £10 per week. It has gone over and it says the debt amount and debt charge of £10 per week but it also says charge per week is £12.?? ( can't remember off hand) Just a bit worried ill credit the meter tomorrow and £22 will disappear! Not entirely sure what the charge per week was before but it was certainly not £12! Anyone shed any light? I am with scottish power and it is a electricity meter.

Is that the £10 plus £2 standing charge? Might be best telephoning SP.

thats what i don't get! Electricity meters are new to me have had gas in the past and it never said anything like that i am sure. Will give them a call in a bit

If the charge per week is £12 (screen F), that includes the debt charge (screen S) and the standing charge.
It will recover screen F at 1% (12p) every 101 minutes from the credit on the front, unless you are in emergency credit or out of credit when it remembers and collects it when you next top up.

Thank you for explaining that I did call scottish power but was still a bit confused but I understand now. Thanks for clearing that up
