A petition asking for energy customers to be given the right to refuse the £200 ‘loan’ which will be credited to all electricity accounts in October is just a few hundred signatures away from triggering an official response from the UK Government.
The response threshold is 10,000 signatures and the, 'Allow consumers the right to refuse the £200 energy rebate' petition, created last month by Sharron Espin, has now received more than 9,787 signatures of support.
The petition reads: “Stop forcing people to accept a loan for energy without the right of refusal. This will put more strain on many financially and mentally."
