Millions of people who don't pay for their energy via direct debit or a prepayment meter will reportedly be charged more for their power within weeks.
Households who pay via standing order, credit, debit card or cheque will face higher bills - and end up paying, on average, an extra £160 say reports. Figures obtained by The Sun suggest that 5.5 million households will be impacted.
Its because these households will not receive new support measures from the Government. Under Ofgem's Energy Price Cap and the Government's Energy Price Guarantee, unit rates and standing charges are affected by factors such as how households pay their bills and where they're located.
