Hi guys

In the past I have been made bankrupt and want to keep on top of my finances. I've got my elec on a key meter as I find it so much easier to manage even though it can be more expensive. I have been trying to get my gas on key meter and no one will as they say is a private supply/third party supply or something onto our estate so I can have a meter for my elec but not my gas. I pay £70 a mth gas and still end up with a bill and its making me sick and I get so so stressed waiting for a bill. I really need a key meter for my sanity never mind practicality for me to budget. Does anyone no a way around this

    Idependant gas transporter site? Its not well known but BG, NPower all support pre-pay on these
    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.

    Read your meter once a fortnight or once a month and do the maths to see what you have used, give the supplier your readings every month or two months so your DD can be adjusted.

    Loads can be done for stress/ anxiety with targeted healthy eating and regular exercise.
