CAP is part of a coalition of charities calling on the Government to introduce a Help to Repay scheme for energy arrears .

CAP has added its name to the Money Advice Trust’s joint letter to the Chancellor. With energy debt levels at a record high due to high energy prices, with household finances stretched, many people with energy arrears are struggling to repay.

The Help to Repay energy scheme would provide eligible households with help to reduce what they owe through repayment matching and debt relief.
