The pre pay meter thing just means you dont get a suprise bill-if ur someone on a very low income or on benefits (where u cant just pull out £200 for a bill or whatever) its a good thing.
^^^^^ is right.
Best single thing you can do is get the fook off the prepay malarkey soon as
Prepay meters are "convenient" but you pay for it in higher charges for each unit of leccy or gas you use.
It will be cheaper to pay a standing charge + usage on a normal meter than to keep feeding the prepay jobby.
Like Lozzie said, you only pay for what you use anyway.
