Struggling to pay? Speak to your energy provider. Please don’t ignore the problem. There is always help with arrears, payment plans, direct debit amounts and debt advice. If you don’t pay, bailiffs could be sent to your home and your credit rating could be severely affected.
Support for you
Additional support for prepayment customers
Another important difference to what you could pay could be dependent on how you pay your bill.
Homes who pay via direct debit have their costs averaged out across the year, spreading the winter costs out over 12 months. Those on prepayment meter payers pay as you go, meaning lower summer costs but much higher winter costs
Bespoke support is available for customers with prepayment meters in addition to what is available for other customers.
Support can often depend on your individual circumstances, so it’s important to contact your energy supplier as soon as you can if you are worried about paying your energy bills or think you won’t be able to afford them.
