Martin Lewis issues urgent warning to energy customers who use pre-payment meters

Martin Lewis has issued an urgent warning to energy customers who are on pre-payment meters.

The money-saving expert is making sure households have used their October Energy Bills Support Scheme top-up voucher as they will expire before the end of January. The credit is automatically applied by suppliers to households using a smart meter for their electricity - but for some people on non-smart pre-payment meters, the vouchers have not yet been received.

The scheme helps to alleviate the high cost of electricity bills over the winter by crediting accounts with around £67 a month from October until March. Martin has advised households on what to do if their vouchers have not yet been applied.
