Hi to all

 

In the last few weeks I have been researching some stuff for a friend who is in lots of debt with the utilities and have came across this gem!

 

United Utilities Trust Fund.

 

Welcome to the United Utilities Trust Fund Site

 

Here you can apply for a grant (not repayable) in order to clear your utilities debts. There is an application form, and you need to send the bills to them, but they are willing to help people get back on track. So if you have an unpaid utilities bill including water / gas / elec and repaying them is causing you hardship then apply for help.

 

Remember, if no one applies for assistance then we run the chance of aid being retracted.

 

Here is a list of all the trust funds;

 

Water Trust Funds

 

A number of water companies operate charitable trust funds. Some offer help only with water and sewerage debt; others are prepared to help with other priority debts and even bankruptcy fees in certain situations. Others offer 'restart schemes'. These operate on the basis of you entering into a regular payment scheme, and payments made are then matched by the trust fund. If you maintain the arrangement, the remaining debt may be written off. You will need to contact the trust fund to find out how to apply. You will usually have to fill in a form. You may need an advice agency to help you. Phone us for advice.
