I threatened leaving for another company and they accepted it!<br /><br />When I arranged to have central heating and wanted rid of economy seven meters I done a similar thing as they wanted to charge me for changing meters!!!! They said it was my choice and my responsibility. I said I wanted to now buy my gas from them so required a gas meter and would in effect be giving them more money!!! rather than just electricity. It works if you threaten to leave they can waiver charges!Eeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414831229655360486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488650312167102126.post-2941146178046717192012-06-15T11:29:06.087+01:002012-06-15T11:29:06.087+01:00My son has these meters due to him being in a rent...My son has these meters due to him being in a rented house and the landlord says he HAS to keep them. They do cost you a lot more in gas and electricity charges, every unit is a higher cost than the normal 'pay every quarter' or DD monthly bills.<br /><br />You should be able to get then taken out for free if you shop around. Good Luck.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488650312167102126.post-24472123411131612702012-06-14T23:12:33.435+01:002012-06-14T23:12:33.435+01:00I just had a look at www.moneysavingexpert.com/uti...I just had a look at www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/switch-prepaid-gas-electricity<br />Sorry don't know how to do a link,but I searched the site for prepayment meters.

They totally mucked it all up, passed me from one department to another, I had to go 6 miles each way to find a shop that had a gas card, so I have made a huge fuss and received £30 compensation cheque today (with £10 extra yet to come). Actually the real reason I caused a huge fuss was because I was sleep deprived and driven mad by the whole affair and I couldn't HELP sobbing down the phone. My advice would be to ring them and make their lives hell until you DO get them to change them for free. I also seem to remember moneysavingexpert having something about this, possibly in the weekly email a week or two ago. Something about changing suppliers to one who will change the prepayment meters for free, I think.<br />You have my utmost sympathy!Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916442932314835859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488650312167102126.post-2872763297004717792012-06-14T15:49:13.916+01:002012-06-14T15:49:13.916+01:00Sorry can't help, have your tried googling the...Sorry can't help, have your tried googling them to see what comes up?<br /><br />Bee happy x<br />Have a delicious day!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543516391837137832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488650312167102126.post-6150154603271908552012-06-14T14:46:58.694+01:002012-06-14T14:46:58.694+01:00Sorry, no idea.

I would have thought that a lot of companies would have been happy to take them out, because then you will definitely be paying them every month!!Bryallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077654752721624785noreply@blogger.com
