    You can't be evicted for non-payment of a utility bill. But you do need to speak to them, you can't resolve this by email now as the warrant may already be in process.
    Call them up, offer some payment now by card and try to agree a realistic payment schedule for the debt. You also need to work out a sensible plan for paying the ongoing bills, by DD probably.
    All the methods of payment available are detailed on the bill, leaving it since Christmas (if that is what you have done) hasn't really helped your negotiating position.
    A voluntary PPM (if technically do-able) may be the best way forward.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    But why not of put some cash aside ??????? as you say you couldnt pay at the time?
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
