How can we help you?

We have been appointed by your utility supplier to provide a meter management and consumer charging solution for one or more utilities. Your utility supplier is likely to be the building owner, a managing agent or housing provider.

We will be responsible for managing your PAYG meter or raising statements based on your usage. We collect monies and undertake credit control activities, transferring all funds to your utility provider on a monthly basis. We will handle your account and queries, responding as effectively as possible, as well as working with your utility provider.

We may maintain some or all of your utilities system but all maintenance issues should be notified to your maintenance provider, building managing agent or housing provider in the first instance.

We are not responsible for the setting of tariffs or charges.

We are committed to providing excellent levels of support to you and to be transparent in all our actions. You can find more details on our Customer Service Pledge, as well as details on our Complaints Procedure in the event that your expectations are not met.

If you require any further information, please Get in Touch with our support team or check out our other frequently asked questions.

Some utility suppliers may provide an amount of welcome credit, normally when you are supplied through a PAYG meter and pay for your utilities in advance. This is normally non-repayable and allows you to have utility supplies when you first move in or a system is installed, giving you time to understand the system and pay in advance for your future energy

If you haven't received your welcome credit, or are struggling to understand the system, please check out the user guides in our Help and Support section or Get in Touch with our team.

A friendly credit period applies to PAYG meters, where you pay in advance for your utilities.

Friendly credit means that your system does not disconnect during certain times, such as overnight, weekends and bank holidays when topping-up might be more difficult or when things don't go to plan and you may not have access to all the support you need to put them right.

Friendly credit is only available when your system disconnects during these certain times, if the system is already disconnected it will not reconnect.

You will need to repay all debt accrued and top-up to £1 credit before you will be able to access your utilities again. If you need more information, just Get in Touch.

Emergency credit applies to a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) meter, where you pay in advance for your utilities.

This means that you can choose to activate a level of additional emergency credit, or debt that is repayable when you next top up.

You should follow the user-guide in our Help and Support section for information on how to activate your emergency credit.

Your emergency credit limit will be set by your utility supplier which is likely to be the building owner, a managing agent or housing provider. You can see how much emergency credit you have available or remaining on your PAYG meter. This amount is designed to get you through to the next working day when you can top-up again.

After using your emergency credit, you will need to repay all debt accrued and top-up to £1 credit before you will be able to access your utilities again. If you need more information, please feel free to Get in Touch.

If you build-up a level of debt that you are unable to repay, for example when paying in arrears for your utilities when you are moved to PAYG, we will recover this debt as a percentage of your future top-ups. We do this as a debt recovery.

The debt recovery rate is normally 10% but may be higher or lower depending on the time it will take to repay the debt and will normally be agreed with you.

If this recovery rate is set at 10% and you top-up £10, you will receive £9 as top-up and £1 will go towards your debt.

You can see the amount of debt remaining through your in-home display unit, if on PAYG, or your latest statement. If you need more information or need to know your current accrued level of debt, please Get in Touch.

You can check your energy usage on your In-Home Display (IHD) (if installed) or by reading your meter. Check out our Help and Support for user guides on using your In-Home Display (IHD) and reading your meter.
