We know that it’s not always easy to keep up with bills, and if you do find yourself struggling, get in touch and we can discuss ways in which we can help. Please call us on 0330 111 5050 lines are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. It would be helpful if you have an up to date meter reading to hand when you call. 

We can: 

  • Discuss a final bill repayment plan.  
  • Review your monthly direct debit payments to match your regular consumption and clear down any arrears over a longer period. 
  • Discuss a temporary reduction in your monthly payments if you have had a sudden change in circumstances such as loss of employment or income. As this could increase your debt in the future, we can only offer this as a short-term solution. 
  • Give you plenty of advice on how to lower your energy bills, check out our energy saving tips. 
  • Install a smart meter to ensure we have accurate and up to date meter readings and you can view your usage in real time. 
  • Make sure you are on the most cost-effective tariff (if there are any tariff options in the market at the time).
  • Check that we've billed to actual meter readings.
