What should I do if I can't afford to pay when my payment extension is due?
If you’ve put a payment extension plan in place with us but you’re still finding it difficult to pay then we have other options that could help. You can apply for a payment arrangement which gives you more time to pay off what's owing by regular instalments.
You can apply online in less than 5 minutes - just have a copy of your bill or your My Account log in details handy, to confirm your account details...
