Paying back emergency credit on your gas meter

With your gas meter, only 70% of your top-up will go towards repaying your emergency credit (and other debt), so 30% will still appear as a credit on your meter. So if you add £5 and you’ve built up a £7 debt, your top-up will pay off £3.50 of debt, and you'll get £1.50 of credit. This split will continue until the full emergency credit amount used has been repaid.
