Payment Assistance Campaign

Provide reassurance during the utility bill collection process by connecting customers with essential payment assistance options.

Utility bill collection requires a thoughtful, understanding approach. Nearly 35 million households in the U.S. were eligible for LIHEAP assistance last year, and many more customers needed billing or payment options to deal with financial hardships.

Many customers don’t seek out help or even know that it’s available until it’s too late — and they’ve already fallen behind on their energy bill.

Questline Digital’s Payment Assistance solutions make utility bill collection easier, connecting customers with program information and payment options when they need it most.

Why our Payment Assistance Campaign works:

  • Payment assistance information is delivered to customers at the moment they need it to ensure your message is timely and relevant.
  • Proactive outreach can connect customers with payment options or assistance programs before they fall too far behind.
  • All messaging uses a reassuring, supportive voice to show that your energy utility understands customers’ challenges.
  • Demonstrate your commitment to keeping your customers safe and their power on — no matter the circumstances.
