For many people, fuel arrears are just part of a bigger problem of unpaid bills. It is beyond the scope of this book to give detailed advice about debts other than those for fuel. See CPAG’s Debt Advice Handbook or Debt Advice Handbook Scotland – both are available free at cpag.org.uk/handbooks.

If you are seeking advice about your fuel debts, tell the adviser about all your other debts as well, so they can give you accurate and relevant advice.
