Over 2,000 households across Scotland, England and Wales had debt worth more than £947,000 of written off by the British Gas Energy Trust.
The British Gas Energy Trust has reopened its Individuals and Families Fund (I&F) to help households struggling with energy debt on a prepayment or credit account. The support scheme can provide up to £1,700 to eligible customers of any energy supplier, if that supplier does not have its own support scheme.
Last year, the I&F fund helped 2,051 households across Scotland, England and Wales, write off more than £947,000 of energy debt.
