British Gas customers facing fuel poverty and worried about the upcoming energy price hike only have until the close of business today (Thursday) to claim up to £750 to help pay their gas and electricity bills.
The British Gas Energy Trust provides two funds which may be able to help those in debt write-off their outstanding balance, however, the 'Individuals and Families fund' which offers financial support to people from other energy suppliers is now closed.
And before you can make a last-minute application to the Trust for financial support, it stipulates that you should have already contacted your energy supplier, Local Money Advice Agency, or an online debt and money advisor such as Citizens Advice Scotland, StepChange or Turn2Us for help and advice.
