Extra Support

Get Help If You're Struggling To Pay

We offer 0% interest repayment plans and we are happy to discuss and tailor your repayments to suit you. When a repayment plan is set up we will monitor it to ensure it is suitable for you. Please just give us a call on 0333 8000 111 and we can discuss the best options available.

We may get in touch with you if we reasonably believe you are experiencing difficulty in paying a bill, and we will work closely with you to resolve the payment difficulty.

You can get energy saving tips from: 

Meter reads

If we require meter reads and you are unable to provide them, we can arrange to assist you with reading your meter.

Engineer visits

We can on request provide a password you can use for appointments which our engineers can use when visiting your property. Our engineers will also have photo ID when attending your property.

Special requests

We can provide larger print documents or braille on request.

If requested we can send bills to a nominated individual to provide you with additional assistance.

 

Register as Vulnerable/be added to the Priority Services Register

We offer free support services if you, or someone you live with, needs help to manage your energy supply. For example if you:

  • Age (e.g. pensionable age, young child)

  • Have physical or mental health issues

  • Have a disability

  • Are on a low income

  • Have severe financial difficulty

  • Have recently experienced bereavement

  • Suffer from a chronic illness

Some suppliers call this the 'Priority Services Register'. The services we offer include statements in a format that's better for you, and support during emergencies and supply outages.

You may also want to register with us for extra support, such as language needs (e.g. You speak little to no English so may struggle with phone conversations with us).

If you would like to register for priority care or any extra support, then please complete the form to register as a vulnerable customer.
