If you have a previous British Gas bill, which you haven't managed to pay yet, Pay-as-you-go can help

If you're struggling to pay one of our energy bills, here's how we can help. We'll agree a weekly payment amount with you, so you can pay off the bill, bit by bit. At the same time, we'll install a Pay-as-you-go meter, so you can pay for your current energy as you use it. Once you've paid off your outstanding bill, you can continue with Pay-as-you-go or revert back to paying energy bills.

One of our advisors will be happy to talk you through your options. In the meantime, take a look at our payment guide.
