Scottish Power
Scottish Power offers those struggling help from its Hardship Fund which can clear or reduce arrears by your Scottish Power account which can help get energy payments under control.
People can qualify for help if they claim certain benefits, have a low household income or have special circumstances.
While the Hardship Fund is only eligible to households who fit specific criteria, the energy company says that anyone with a low household income or a reduced income due to illness may also be able to apply.
Scottish Power advises anyone struggling to pay their bills, regardless of their circumstances, to get in touch with them as soon as possible.
Shell Energy

Customers eligible for this year’s Warm Home Discount payment will receive an additional £150, doubling their payment to £300, which Shell is funding.
