Contact your energy provider as soon as possible. This is especially important if you are on a low income, or someone in the household has a health condition, is very young or very old, or is medically dependent on the mains power supply to your home.
Your energy provider may discuss your payment plan with you, suggest an alternative pricing plan, advise you of agencies who can help with budgeting or refer you to Work and Income (with your consent). If you are on a low income, you might be eligible for help with paying your bill.

Scams are becoming more sophisticated and far reaching, anyone can be caught by them, and in New Zealand we don’t have enough protections for keeping people safe.
At CAB, we regularly help members of the public with issues to do with scams. People come to us when they need help to know if something is a scam, or when they have been affected by a scam. We see the impacts scams can cause for their victims - the hardship and distress.
This is why we’re supporting the call for action to make New Zealanders safer from scams. Our friends at Consumer NZ are running a petition which asks for:
Banks to refund scam victims for authorised and unauthorised scam payments, unless the victim has been grossly negligent.
A national anti-scam framework requiring banks, telcos and digital platforms to take action to address scams and outlining their liability if they fail to meet their obligations.
A centralised anti-scam centre where relevant organisations work together to keep us safe.
If you would like to support this campaign by signing the Consumer NZ petition, you can do that here:

To find out how you can protect yourself from scams and fraud, go to our CAB website at:
