How long does the debt management process take?
In general, the timescale between missing your first payment and having a meter isolated can take approx. 3-5 months.
You will be offered multiple opportunities to resolve the debt and pay any outstanding money during this time. If you are unable to make a repayment in full, then a payment plan maybe an option.
We always recommend corresponding in full – regardless of how far the process has gone. Keeping the lines of communication open can prevent the debt from escalating further.
