Energy Arrears Arrears on your energy supply are a “priority debt”. This means that if the arrears are not dealt with there could be a serious sanction, e.g. your fuel supply could be disconnected (although this is usually only done as a last resort) or your supplier may force you to have a pre-payment meter installed. But there is help available, from your supplier, the government and grant giving organisations. Also if you could be considered vulnerable in some way, for example elderly or disabled you should check to see whether you can get other help paying your bills.
