Contact your energy supplier as soon as possible, explain your circumstances and ask about affordable payment plans, debt support or its hardship fund. You may also qualify for help such as the Warm Home Discount or support through your local council, depending on your circumstances and where you live. Check the latest guidance on GOV.UK and speak to Citizens Advice for free, independent help; they can also explain whether joining your supplier’s Priority Services Register could help. If you are at immediate risk of losing essential energy, tell your supplier and seek urgent advice rather than ignoring the bills.
