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 believe you are vulnerable you can Get in Touch with our team. It is important that your utility provider, who may be the building owner, managing agent or your housing provider is aware of your vulnerability so they can make the necessary service alterations.
We're happy to help you with managing your account and many of the systems installed can also help, with useful in-built features such as setting targets for energy usage and providing accessible information on cost. We're also continuing to improve the accessibility of our digital resources, including your online account.
We can also work with third parties, such as carers or those with power of attorney, who can operate the account on your behalf.
We're happy to work with carers and others who help support vulnerable consumers but do need permission from the account holder. The only exception is where you possess power of attorney, for which we'll require evidence.
This permission can be provided to deal with a single issue or on an ongoing basis and we can send statements and other correspondence to another address. If the utility supplier is also your housing provider, we may be able to speak to them to confirm you are already authorised to act on the account holder’s behalf.
We're happy to support all consumers and have a number of translation tools available. If you are struggling to view this website, please click the ‘Accessibility Help?’ button at the top of this page.

We recommend Getting in Touch through our online form in your preferred language and we'll be able to respond, or arrange a call with a member of our team who speaks the same language or through a 3rd party translation service.
