    Worth remembering that almost all suppliers that offer you credit will credit check you first, even if you already have credit meters fitted.
    (and perhaps ones that don't are best avoided)

    The last time i moved Npower was the supplier of the new house and i refused a credit check with them but they still setup the account then moved to a small much cheaper supplier (OTM) who don't carry out any credit checks.

    Why would you avoid ones that don't credit check you? that logic seems to be a bit backwards as it doesn't benefit the customer to be credit checked and it also means you might miss out on the best deals from small suppliers.
