answer text

Prepayment meters (PPMs) allow customers to pay for energy on a pay-as-you-go basis and serve an important function by helping the avoidance of debt and court action. A ban on PPM switching as a last resort could lead to an increase in bailiff action. There are no plans to remove this option. Ofgem has stringent rules on the force-fitting of PPMs and have recently published a letter where they outline steps they will be taking on tackling inappropriate supplier PPM practises including making sure suppliers are complying with those rules.
