A question was asked but a different question was answered

Also, the cost or #prepayment was claim to be the cheapest way to pay, but that is NOT true, once standing charges are included, and this is only currently the case before the EPG - Energy price Guarantee - not… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1635611186434539522

This morning we're pleased to hear @grantshapps has announced that all energy suppliers have committed to ending forced installation of #Prepayment meters in vulnerable customer's homes.

In a crowded field the gas CEO stands out as unbelievably I'll informed about standard practice for which he is ultimately responsible #Prepayment

Never more important.

Hope to see many more MPs come along and find out more about why we need to #BanForcedPPMs

Our director of policy @peterwsmith101 is on @BBCNews now. Peter says, 'If you're on a #Prepayment meter, you're much more likely to go off supply. This puts children and people with medical dependencies at risk.'

This story is horrifying, but realistically is anyone actually surprised that #BritishGas have broken into the homes of vulnerable people to fit #PrePayment meters? It takes evidence from journalists to make #Centrica act rather than listening to its customers.

Who wants to hear from the wonderful @ThatKerryHudson about growing up in #Glasgow with a #Prepayment meter this Friday? We will be joined also by relentless campaigner Ruth London from @FuelPovAction. To be live streamed on my FB page 10.30am Friday http://www.facebook.com/AnneMcLaughlinSNP

It's completely unjust that the big energy companies have the power to move people onto prepayment meters against their will. It's just disconnection by the back door.

@ofgem has already told them it should be a last resort. We need action from @10DowningStreet and @ScotGov now.

@LeonDuveen

Someone on Smart meter can be converted to prepayment without their knowing? How is this done?

Prepayment meters can be converted to smart on my supplier.

Today suggested this might be good for a friend on pre-payment, but she doesn't like the idea of smart in itself. I explained there were probs with the earlier versions but the latest seemed OK. Even though she knew it was costing more she felt safer topping-up.

The Government must urgently:
1️⃣ #BanForcedPPMs now.
2️⃣ Set out steps for consumers to remove #prepayment meters installed by this process at no cost.
3️⃣ Launch an inquiry into what has happened, evidence used by #energy firms to assess vulnerability and the role of magistrates.
