Ideas if you’re having trouble paying your bill

If you’re finding it hard to pay your bills, or need more time, we can help. Here’s some options that may work for you:

  • Setting up a payment arrangement – pay off any outstanding amount over a period of time. This is also a good option for a final bill.
  • Contact PrePay – where you pay for your electricity upfront, just a like a prepaid mobile. Prepay can help you manage your power consumption and give you time to get on top of your balance.  
  • Help from Work and Income.  Also check out MoneyTalks for more options and great financial mentorship.  

We’re here to discuss any of these ideas, please call us on 0800 90 9000 during business hours.
