I have read it... and I can't see any reference to anything that overrides the area in question. That is why I asked.

Though it goes against my better judgement I will advise...

If you really want away get the prepayment meter fitted and change so long as the debt is below five hundred.

I don't really understand why another company would want to take on someone with a significant debt but that's their problem.

I believe their is a sort of wishy washing obligation on suppliers regarding payments and customers circumstances but I don't think it means what Ofgem thinks it means.

It is something like taking into account a customers circumstances.

This doesn't help much. If a customer can pay fifty pounds per month, and usage is forty, that only leaves ten pounds per month going towards the balance. So if it is four hundred pounds that is 40 months to clear it or three and a bit years.

I know a lot of customers response to this will be so; but I would not run a company in that manner.

If you don't want a prepayment meter you need to find some way of getting the money together which doesn't worsen your situation.
