It follows a report that agents broke into the homes of vulnerable people to install the equipment.
The allegations centre on Arvato Financial Solutions, a third-party company used by British Gas to pursue debts.
Agents also fitted a prepayment meter by force at the home of a young mother with an infant baby, the newspaper said. He said he was "extremely disappointed" about what had occurred, adding: "As a result, on Wednesday morning, we took a further decision to suspend all our prepayment warrant activity at least until the end of the winter."
People using prepayment meters pay for their gas and electricity by topping up their meter, either through accounts or by adding credit to a card in a convenience store or Post Office.
