The cost of living crisis is here, but we are only at the beginning of a economic shockwave that's going to affect millions of people across the UK. There are forecasts the energy price cap could significantly in October and then in January.
At the moment, a typical user on direct debit pays around £1,971 a year for gas and electricity, but this is forecasted to rise to £3,582 in October and £4,650 in January before potentially £6,000 in April.
It makes for a anxious time as families across the UK also face rocketing prices for food as well as increasing bills for TV, broadband and streaming services.
