How We Can Help

We’ve helped many people through financial difficulties, and we can help you too. Here are some of the ways we can support you.

We can help you work out a plan so you can spread the cost of repayment. Paying a bit at a time makes things more manageable. And it's completely confidential.

Switch to Pay as you go (PAYG)

Prepaying for your energy by topping up a meter, is a good way to make sure you don't end up with big bills. Topping up is easy either online or at a Paypoint shop. Speak to us first if you'd like to pay off a debt this way.
