Financial guru Martin Lewis has urged households to check they are not being over charged by their energy supplier as the price cap forced bills up by 54 per cent.
This comes after the Money Saving Expert heard from bill payers who said their direct debits have jumped from £86 to a staggering £251 - over the price cap.
Ofgem announced the price cap earlier this year that will see an extra £693 added to the yearly average bill for those on Direct Debit. While those who use pre-payment meters will see an extra £708 added to their bill.
