Experts warn against households not paying energy bills as price cap set to hit £4,200

Bill payers are being warned against boycotting energy bills as the price cap is forecasted to rise to 81 per cent in October and a further 19 per cent in January.

Millions of households are expected to struggle to make ends meet as energy prices are set to rise again to a staggering £4,200 January according to the latest data. Meanwhile, campaign group Don't Pay UK are rallying support as they urge million to not pay their bills in protest.

Don't Pay UK are urging households to refuse to pay energy bills on October 1 in an attempt to force energy providers to reduce bills to reasonable price. The same tactic was used in the late 80s and 90s in protest to PM Margaret Thatcher's poll tax in which 17 million people boycotted the cost.
