The place I bought has a Pay as you go meter for both gas and electric.

It's a fucking nightmare and nobody seems too forthcoming in wanting to come and change it for me.

I had the same problem mate, when i brought my house but the previous owners owed debt to electric/Gas companys so i had to first prove i was a new owner and then put up with meters for 6 months as i had not owned a property before. Once i done the 6 months i was able to get normal meters in.
I offered to pay a year up front (worked night shifts so was asleep daytime to get credits) and they still would not do it. Said it's the address and person (if the person is a new owner whit no history). 6 months on i got them both changed to regular meters and saved a small fortune.
Maybe the place you brought had gas/electricitry debt previous to you buying it, if as i had then you will be able to change after 6 months. Just make sure you register with them as a new owner ASAP.
By the way, when i brought my place i thought that would change the bills to my name, it did (but not the old debt (i was lucky, it was only about 100gbp. The debt was actually from almost 2 years before. Not saying you have the same problem but worth checking out mate.

Yeah, they said I need to be here longer. It's weird as my credit rating is decent but they are going on the meter history.
