Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has apologised as his advice about non-smart prepayment meters looks to be void after energy companies backtracked on their earlier confirmation.
He had previously told concerned customers if they topped up a non-smart prepayment meter before the April 1 price cap rise, they would be charged the rate on the day you top up until you top up again. Martin said Money Saving Expert received written confirmation of the prepayment meter rates from all major firms except Scottish Power.
But Martin has now apologised through his website because he fears the tip won't work following the backtrack by energy companies and regulator OFGEM, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.
