Dear Sir/Madam


Account No:

Type of supply: .

I am writing because I am unable to pay what I owe all at once.

I understand that I owe:

£ for my electricity;
£ for my gas.

Ofgem requires energy suppliers to consider customers’ circumstances and ability to pay when agreeing a debt repayment plan.

I ask you to agree a new repayment amount of £.

.

I enclose of copy of my budget sheet which shows that this is all I can afford.

Please reply to this letter in writing within 10 working days, confirming my new repayment rate, including any other information you feel would be relevant or helpful to me (for example, trust fund information, energy efficiency information and so on).


I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully
