Can I be forced on to a pay-as-you-go electricity meter? [LBC Legal Hour]

Andrew - calling in relation to a 94-year-old woman - wants to know if she can be forced on to a pay-as-you-go electricity meter if she's been unable to pay her bills. Daniel sets out some of the steps that must be taken before someone is cut off. A pay-as-you-go meter is one of those steps.
