StepChange is a free, government-backed debt charity – not a loan company. You can call them for free on 0800 138 1111, they go through your budget with you and give you a letter/certificate. That letter is what the energy funds accept. It’s free, confidential and doesn’t affect your credit score.

Ask your supplier for: “Customer Support Fund” + “Priority Services Register” – they have to help by law.
