we had payment meters fitted last year asfter running up a huge debt with the gas/electric company.
for months we were unaware that we were paying much less than we should have been the the amount doubled and we could not keep up with the payments.
we quite like the meters and we seem to be spending much less.
when we had them fitted we asked if they could be taken out if we ever needed to march out and they said yes no problem.
now we are marching out in 2 weeks and since there is still a debt to be paid back they wont remove them.
i am starting to really panic now wondering what the dhe will say about it, acording to the gas/elec company the quarter we are moving into already has a elec prepayment meter fitted (plus i know quite a few friends in mq's who already have them) so it cant be unheard of for marchouts.
the informrtion we have for handing back over the quarter though says that prepayment meters MUST be removed or else the dhe will do it and charge us for it.
i can afford to pay of the elec debt when dh gets paid at the end of the month but the march out is only a few days later so cant see them sending someone rould to change the meter that quickly plus it would still leave me the problem with the gas meter (debt on this is still really high and no way can i pay this of at the end of the month)
