Payment failures caused by electricity bills increased at the beginning of the year.
With many consumers have difficulties paying their electricity bills, says Suomen Asiakastieto oy.
According to Asiakastieto's report, more than 2,100 payment failure entries were registered for consumers in January-March, where the reason was an unpaid electricity bill.
The number of payment failures caused by electricity bills started to increase at the end of last year.
According to Asiakastieto, the timing of the increase in disruptions is partly due to the fact that the process from the due date of the invoice to the district court's debt judgment and payment default is long. The procedure can take several months, even half a year.
Some of the payment failures registered this year therefore concern electricity bills that have already fallen due in the last half of last year.
Nearly According to Asiakastieto, all those who received a note on the electricity bill have other non-payment notes in their credit information.
The number of people with payment problems has increased at the beginning of the year. At the end of March, there were a total of 355,600 of them. In the first quarter of the year, almost 19,000 Finns received their first notice of default.
