Switching to credit meter

(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.0
