which diabolical act is this?

The fact that PPMs are slightly more expensive that credit meters? OFGEM are happy with this and theres nothing your MP can do about it.

What? Have you actually read the OP? Take special care to understand 'the old meter was set wrong' I've not mentioned getting my MP involved in anything to do with PPM's being more expensive than quaterly meters.

What is the OP?

OP - Original Post

anniecd1 - Some suppliers charge/ request a deposit to exchange a meter from prepayment to standard (direct debit etc) if the customer has not been with them for atleast 12 months.

How long have you been with your current supplier? Have you been with them at a previous address?

I have only been with my current supplier for 5 months and have never had a supplier before.

I have a key meter and have been told that it will cost £125 to change to a direct debit facility. Does anyone know of a way round this?

change suppliers ad you will find most of them will change the meters free of charge.
i moved house last april and there is a policy with swansea city cuncil that when a property is vacatted they sign it over to scottish power.
