ukplankton | Which is Better a PrePayment Meter or Direct Debit for Gas and Electric? |
Single Occupent, 1 Bed Flat, usual Male toys of TV and PC. Works in Day. Wondering which is best PrePayment or Direct Debit with meter readings |

Definately Direct Debit!!!
You are charged for the pre-payment meters and they totally eat up the money you put on. When I switched over from the meters to direct debit I found I was paying Half the amount per month on both Gas and electric. |

Direct Debit...DO NOT USE pre pay meters as the cost of utilities is more per unit. |
|

pre pay is more expensive.
I don't like Direct Debit use a Standing order instead. |

You pay more for your gas and electric when you have a prepayment meter even though you pay up front. you are better off paying by direct debit. |

I pay mine at the local Post office weekly. It`s nice to know that when the bill arrives in the post, it is all paid for :-) |

Mr. Christian
|
Direct Debit is best cheaper than meter also you get a discount |

Always, DD with meter readings is better than prepayment meter. Do you not ever read/hear press comments on higher charges levied for prepayment meters by utility companies? |
|

Definitely direct debit. You also get a duel fuel discount if you have gas & electricity from the same company |
|

Usually by direct debit. Go to uswitch and see who is the best service provider for you. |

Dont go for prepay meters. We are just having ours changed for bill meters. The units cost a fortune on prepay (we spend about £30 on each per week) whereas when we had bills we were paying not much more than that per quarter. |
