Speak to us about your energy bills
If you’re struggling or worried about your bills, come in for a chat
Talk to an expert about your energy worries
We’ve partnered with the British Gas Energy Trust to help you manage the high cost of energy prices. With costs creating difficulties for many people throughout the UK, you can come in and have a chat with energy experts about your options.
Need advice on your energy bills? Ask at the Post Office
We know that it can be challenging to talk about financial difficulties, especially those around debt and struggling to pay bills. We know that it can seem unfair that prices remain so high at a time when so many of us are already facing an unaffordable cost of living. And we know that these worries can seriously impact your physical and mental wellbeing.
So we’ve again partnered with the British Gas Energy Trust – a charity dedicated to helping people who are struggling with their energy bills – to provide experts who specialise in bursaries, grants, energy-saving tips and advice to help you do what you can to keep costs as low as possible.
How do I talk to an expert?
Just come in and see us. The experts are available in selected Post Office branches around the country, detailed in the table on this page.
We’ve set up pop-up advice centres in Post Office branches nationwide. As energy costs remain high, we want to continue to reach out and help more households get the relevant funding and advice that's local to them.
All you need to do is to ask to speak to the British Gas Energy Trust expert, who’ll be there to welcome you and give you all the information available on assistance schemes and energy advice. You can also pick up a leaflet that’s full of helpful information about the available support.
You can also find out more about assistance and support available on our Cost of living help and support page.
Warning signs – know when to ask for help
-
You’re worrying about money and paying back what you owe – your debts are becoming a real burden
-
You fear that you can’t meet your loan, mortgage, credit card or other debt payments
-
You may be dealing with a difficult situation which is making it harder to manage your money
-
You’re regularly spending more than you earn
-
You can’t make your mortgage or rent payments, and can’t meet existing loan or credit card payments
-
You can’t meet your day-to-day living expenses without relying on your credit card
-
You’re struggling to meet the minimum payments on your loans or credit cards
-
You’re increasingly hitting your agreed overdraft limit, and can’t clear your overdraft
-
You’re regularly going overdrawn without an agreement and incurring charges
-
You’re being chased for bill and debt payments, and paying charges due to late or missed payments
Doing nothing can make things worse
Never ignore missed repayments, they won’t go away. You could end up paying more in interest and charges, and missed payments could affect your credit rating. This can make it more difficult to get credit in the future.
