arghghhghg does anyone have a prepayment meter for gas and elec?

[pecka]

I have F**ked up with my gas and electricity after ongoing battle with powergen that in the end TBH I have been too confused over so have ignored.

Time has run out tho and a warrant has been served so need to pay £400 by monday or have a prepayment meter fitted.

DO NOT have this money so looks like meter will be inevitable?

Is it REALLY expensive?

any updates yet Pecka???

((((((pecka)))))) anything yet, feel free to email me at flutterbee at hotmail dot com if you need anymore help, I would happily make the phone call for you if I could.

Tried to ring and be strong but was talked down again I just crumble when they talk to you like a friggin' peasant

Im thinking maybe get meter in and put up with it until we are in better position and then can ring and just pay it all off.

Nothing I can afford now seems to make them prepared to listen

awww - sorry it didn't go too well.

Are you sure you can actually afford the amount of money they'll want each month/week on the ppm? If not make sure you tell them exactly how much you can afford to pay off the debt each month otherwise they'll just screw you over again

We have pre payment meters for gas and electric.

In summer we put about £5 - £7 a week on the gas and about £10 on the electric.

In winter the gas is about £10 - £12 and same for the electric.

We live in a 4 bed semi, gas central heating, electric cooker, tumble dryer etc etc.

TBH I prefer it, as no nasty bills.

Meant to add that our debt was taken off our meter at about £2.33 a week to start with.
