New advice please

Beckyd83

I am with eon and on prepaid electricity old meter. I followed the advice and topped up £200 on 27th March to beat the 1st April price hike but after reading the advice today saying that eon will not honor the top up at the lower rate I'm unsure what to do as I dont want to be landed with a bill from them in few months time for extra charges. Is it worth me putting on another £5 to start the new rate  and charges in April to avoid a back charge bill or is it still possible they will not back date the charges? Feel like I'm in limbo now as It will be a struggle to find the extra for a extra bill when have managed to scrimp to put the extra on to buy myself a few months respite now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

If you're worried, wait until you've used £150 from your meter then do the top up. If they do try to claw back the difference you should still have about enough credit to cover it, and if they don't you'll still have got 3/4 of the benefit from topping up early.
