Switching Frustration
I don't know if I have a solution - if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear!
I moved into a new home last year, the electric was with OVO on a credit meter, and the gas on a prepayment meter with Scottish Power. For lots of personal reasons I am only now looking at this. I have been trying to get off the prepayment meter but Scottish Power are saying they won't do "gas only" switches. I spoke to OVO thinking maybe they would take it over, and then change it. I was referred to "Boost" who said they are not taking new customers to OVO - only former SSE customers. I explained I am not new, my electric is already with OVO and they said they were unable to help.
Does this mean I have no option but to keep a prepayment meter? Surely that's not right?

Ditch and switch ! Octopus are helpful and will accept gas-only customers.
