If your Pay As You Go meter runs out of credit unexpectedly, don't panic. We'll lend you a limited amount of emergency credit to keep you going until you top up. Your meter will show how much. Go to screen ‘R’ on your electricity meter or screen '22' on your gas meter.

Difficult for me to use my own figures as my supplier(SSE) has made a right mess of them. I have 4 different rates mentioned for my electric for the past 6 months, the lowest of which is on the smart meter device. That hasn't changed overnight, although the standing charge has. If I was on PAYG, that would be the cheapest option by far. Whether that cheap rate ends up being the one used on bills is another matter.
I changed from PAYG to credit a matter of months ago. The PAYG rate(£17.99) was lower than the credit rate(£18.55) used. Might've been a bad idea to change from PAYG, as it looks like I would still be paying the cheap £17.99KWh rate.
