if you pay more they will roll it over to your next bill so you will always be in credit. they will not refund you!

I have budget payment cards for my gas and a key for electric so i never owe electric but with my gas i pay £15 a week and then i know my bill will be covered and i always have some in credit

• I am in the US, but every time I have overpaid any of my utility bills, they applied the extra a a credit on my next bill. I don't see why it would be different in the UK. You can always ask Scottish power. I suspect there is a phone number on the bill for this type of question.
• My old Mum had cards for her electric and gas, she paid money on them through her post office. I'm not sure how it works (she was not on a prepayment meter) and when she died they gave me her money back.
  Try asking at the post office.
• Manage your own money, don't trust a utility CO. to manage your money for you.

• No it would just put you in credit and come off the next bill, if your not sure why not give them a call or email and see.
• on 2 your next bill, no problem
