Utility Debts

Hi all,
I just wanted to draw your attention to the following website:
http://www.charisgrants.com/
This is a charitable organisation that works in partnership with all the main utility companies and provides grants for those struggling with arrears on utility bills.
With utilities being classed as priority debt and some being quite forceful in their attempts to recover arrears some may find this very useful to help clear outstanding balances.
You have to show a commitment to meet your current usage in order to be considered so you will need to have this in place with your current supplier before you apply.
I'd never heard of them before but Npower put me in touch with them yesterday and have suspended all my arrears and renegotiated my current usage to help with my current situation.
It might not be for everyone but it might help one or two.
