Prepaid Meter at end of Tenancy

[GettingThough]

I majorly messed up with gas and electric in my student rented house. I'm attending court tomorrow in some desperate plea to set up a repayment plan but I really don't know how likely it is.

 

The problem is that my housing contract says I can't fit prepayment meters or anything.

 

Does anyone know what I can do if the warrant goes ahead and they have to come around and fit one tomorrow?

You must tell the court of the restriction in your tenancy agreement.

You must tell the court of the restriction in your tenancy agreement.

 

Will they proceed with the warrant? The supplier says the meter is their property so they can do it anyway.

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

It will depend if you can convince the court and the creditor

you can maintain a repayment plan.

Hmm do you know if this is likely? Say if I could pay it off in full in 3 months?

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

Possible yes.

Unfortunately,Yes they can fit a pre payment meter with a valid warrant...

 

You must tell the court of the restriction in your tenancy agreement.

 

If a valid warrant is issued they can and will install a pre payment meter regards of what it says on a tenancy agreement..

 

The meters belong to the utility supplier or distribution company depending where you live,not a landlord...
