Martin Lewis has issued a warning over giving false meter readings as families face a cost of living crisis.
Previously, the Money Saving Expert founder issued advice for people to ensure that they read their meters before the price cap increases on April 1. He advised that if you take a meter reading on March 31, you can tell your energy provider exactly how much gas and electricity you used before the price cap increase.
Today, he has taken to Twitter to respond to a common question that he keeps being asked in regards to his advice. He explained the consequences of what it means for people who give false meter readings.
