Prepay to credit meter query

Hi everyone,

I don't know if anyone can help....
I am looking into changing my prepaid electricity meter to a d.d paid credit meter. I was given pay as you go meter afte getting into debt and was told I would have to wait 1yr before they would change it back again.

A year is now passed so I am very keen to get back to much cheaper credit meter again. Trouble is, I know I will be subject to a hard credit check and know my credit score is poor, so making my chances of success rather slim.

I was wondering, can I change supplier- to one that only does a soft credit check and get them to swap my meter, then move again onto cheaper tariff paid by d.d?

Do hope that makes sense! Thanks in advance for any help.
