My edf bill gas and electric is £845. Im struggling to pay. Getting help with CAB and going for a debt relief order. I will probably be made to go on a pre payment meter- any ideas how i can avoid this as im disabled with back an knee arthritis and disc issues. My meter is under the stairs low down.

@lollybar75
are you on the Priority Services Register with you supplier? If so, Scope's online information about prepayment meters says it is less likely you will be moved onto a prepayment meter. As Hannah said, the Disability Energy Service will be able to give you some advice
