How can I check my debt and my repayment rate on my traditional meter?

If you’re repaying a debt through your traditional meter, you can check the remaining amount and your repayment rate on the meter itself. The repayment rate is the amount you’re paying back each week. 

To find out how, follow the steps below. If you have a smart meter instead, follow these steps.

If you have an electricity meter

Insert your key into the meter and press the blue button. Then scroll through to the correct option on the meter screen, shown below:
