Energy Debt
The increasing price of energy has left many people in debt to their providers. Depending on the amount of debt you are in, you may be able to switch to a lower rate supplier; it is imperative that you speak to your current supplier about lowering the debt to avoid getting cut off. Know your rights and seek help.
