How a prepayment meter could help you save on bills
Despite the PM’s recent energy intervention, which is set to cap average bills at £2,500 a year, the cost of living is still set to rise.
So, if you are having trouble paying your energy bills, asking for a prepayment meter could be the way to go.
Over 4million homes are on prepayment meters where they pay for the energy they use at the time, rather than being billed later on.
If you’re finding it difficult to pay for your bills at the end of the month, a prepayment meter might be a good idea.
If your energy supplier believes a prepayment meter isn’t the best option but recognises that you are struggling, they are obligated to offer help.
They MUST propose one of these options going forward:
- A full payment plan review
- Affordable debt repayment plans
- Payment breaks
- Payment reductions
- More time to pay
