Martin Lewis' advice if you can't submit an energy meter reading today

It's been widely documented that many people's energy bills will jump tomorrow when the price cap is raised by nearly £700 per year. It will affect anyone who's not on a fixed rate tariff.

As a result, Martin Lewis has said that anyone who will be paying more from tomorrow should take a meter reading and submit it to their supplier today. He said this would make sure that the correct prices were charged for either side of April 1.

However, many energy suppliers - including British Gas, EDF, Scottish Power and SSE, have had problems with their websites and phone lines today as many people attempt to submit their readings. With that in mind, Mr Lewis has posted an update on his Twitter page to advise on what to do if you don't manage to submit a reading today, reports The Mirror.
