With energy prices rising by at least 50%, the cost of living is pushing many people into debt, or into having to make difficult decisions about how they spend their money.
‘Eat or heat’ remains on the agenda for many but others are finding it difficult to manage either.
The Energy Price Cap is set to rise for 22 million customers by approximately £690 from April with a similar rise predicted for the Autumn.
You are not alone if you are facing problems paying your energy bills or are concerned with accumulating energy debts.
Where can you go to get the help you need?
