Help with bills as student.

Hi,

Just wondered is there any system for helping pay bills or make changes to house as a student rented house, as the only money I have is grants loans etc and spend not much but more then I like on bills, so any advice, live in Sheffield and with edf if it helps.

    As a student I am not aware of any scheme to help you with energy bills.

    Only thing you can do is make sure your on the cheapest tariff (normally online DD one) and reduce your useage.

    Energy is expensive there are no two ways about it.

    If there is such a thing, I will be enrolling.
  • I'm a student too but I'm not aware of anything like that. Wish i was though! The only thing I can think of that will help is to find ways to cut back on your energy usage. I know when I first started paying bills myself I was paying a lot more than I am now simply because I hadn't gotten into the habit of being less wastful! Good luck!
