We want to help you if you can't pay your bill. If you don't pay or contact us, we will give you 7 days to bring your payments up to date, but if you can't pay in full in that time, please contact using the links at the bottom of this page.

If you don't pay or contact us we may:

  • Issue a County Court claim which will add costs to your bill.
  • Apply to the county court to ask for a judgment to be entered against you.

If you don't pay the judgment order, we will ask the court to issue:

  • Attachment of Earnings: the court will contact your employer to deduct money from your wage OR
  • Writ of Control: a High Court Enforcement Officer will visit your home and make take your belongings OR
  • Charging Order: if you own your own your home we will ask the court to put a charge on it, which may prevent you re-mortgaging or selling your home OR
  • Warrant of Control: a County Court bailiff will visit your home and may take your belongings

If we are unable to enforce the judgment, we will pass your account to an External Debt Collection Agency.

We don't want to have to take any of these actions, so please get in touch.

When is my payment due?

You need to pay the bill when you receive it. If you have a payment plan your statement will show you the dates your payments are due.
