Martin Lewis issues important message to everyone who pays energy using direct debit

As the energy price cap is set to rise again, Martin Lewis has issued important advice to anyone paying by Direct Debit.

Experts predict that the energy price cap will rise by a staggering 64 per cent in October - this is on top of what people are paying now which has already seen a 54 per cent rise back in April. Come October, the average energy bill is estimated to reach over £3,000.

With this, the financial guru gave a warning while speaking to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on ITV's This Morning earlier this week. He explained that energy regulator Ofgem looked into energy firms and found a number of them to have "serious weaknesses" and energy companies are being asked to review Direct Debits.
