Who we help
The Extra Help Unit is a team of expert caseworkers that exists solely to help you get through difficulties with your energy supplier. We can help you if:
-
You are struggling financially, for example you’re falling behind on your energy payments or are worried you might get cut off.
-
You are unable to deal with your supplier on your own because of personal circumstances.
-
You feel overwhelmed and don’t know how to resolve your problem.
If you run a small business and are experiencing problems with your energy supplier we may be able to help you too. Certain restrictions apply. Find out more.
I think they are a brilliant service, particularly for people who suffer with stress and worry, who may not be able to put their own case forward very well.
