Consumer champion Martin Lewis has issued a stark warning about energy price rises, declaring "it's going to be horrendous". The Money Saving Expert is urging everyone to do a vital check.
The financial expert issued the alert ahead of the October price hike. Birmingham Live reports he has urged households to start budgeting now before energy bills rise again this winter.
Martin said: "If your direct debit goes up in advance, it's actually not the worst thing because it will help spread the cost even though you might not like it. It's going to be horrendous and I hope that when a new Prime Minister comes in place, the current sort of freeze on policy making ends on that day, on September 5."
