We’re here to help. If you’re unable to make a payment, please contact us on 0330 123 2000 as soon as possible. We’ve provided further details below on the process we will follow if we don’t receive payment and/or you do not contact us.

Next steps

Here are the steps we'll follow if we don't receive payment

Reminder notifications

We’ll contact you via telephone, letter and/or text message with a friendly reminder of your overdue balance and guidance on how to contact us if your business is in financial hardship and/or if you have any concerns regarding payment.

Final reminder

If payment is not received and you don’t contact us to discuss any concerns you may have regarding payment, we’ll send you a letter advising you of our intention to take further action, which may include referring your account to a debt collection agency, disconnecting your supply or taking legal action to recover the balance.

Third party escalation

If you still haven’t made payment and/or contacted us to discuss your account, we’ll instruct a third party to act on our behalf to recover your balance, which may include a site visit to discuss your account. Failure to make timely payments will result in information on your payment experience being shared with credit reference agencies, which could impact your ability to raise credit in future.

Court action

If we still don’t receive payment or any contact from you, we may have to take court action to seek payment of the outstanding debt, including court costs and interest. Any court judgement obtained may be enforced against you with immediate effect, and may include insolvency proceedings, third party order and/or seizure of goods.
