Best ways to deal with Energy Debt

I have thousands of pounds in Energy Debt. What should I do?

- 

With the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, and energy bills only going up and up, more and more clients are finding themselves in energy debt.

This can be a very stressful situation with many individuals unsure on how to resolve their situation.

Energy debts are classed as priority debts. This means they should be paid before debts like credit cards, unsecured loans, or catalogue debts.

First, it is important to establish if the debt is accurate.

Clients with traditional meters should be submitting meter readings when requested by their providers.

This helps to ensure you are being accurately billed for your usage and not overpaying or underpaying.

Smart meters should automatically send your provider up-to-date readings but you should still check your bills frequently to ensure this is correct.
