Will see what happens when the gas engineer has finally gotten himself round, going to have to use my microwave for a week or so as instead of re-topping the meter up with £15 i went out and bought a convex heater for the same money from Tesco, so hopefully that will give me some heating.
Have emailed British Gas's prepayment department and wont hold my breath for an immediate response as last time i emailed them it took them nearly 2 months to reply, yes thats right, 2 months! When i first moved into the property it took them nearly 4 months to send out the card for the meter. They sent the meter reset woman twice to reset the debt and every time i phoned up and told them my details and each time they managed to lose them.
Cant wait til i move off my 6 month tenancy onto a proper one as then i can change over to a normal setup with monthly billing, land lord requested that i not change anything in the first tenancy as if i move out he has to change it back to a prepayment meter as the kind of housing i have is usually taken up by the drunks and junkies.

when we moved into our current house the gas had a prepayment meter on it which ate credit like you wouldnt believe :shock: turns out if the previous occupant was a bad payer or didnt pay the meter was programmed to recoup as much as possible by nicking your credit :shock:
stern words were had with BG and the meter outed and back to a standard and we got them to credit out account back with the credit we had nicked by the meter
