Martin Lewis warns of 'frightening' bill changes in letter

Martin Lewis has warned of "frightening" rises in bills to come this April in a letter that he sent to the Government.

The Money Saving Expert founder penned a lengthy letter addressed to the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt asking him to "urgently consider" the proposed 20% increase for bills coming into force in April this year. He warned that the decision could be even more damaging amidst the crippling cost of living crisis.

The consumer champion predicted that bills rising in April could plummet 1.7 million households into fuel poverty. This would be a drastic rise ton he number from an already "shocking" 6.7 million to 8.4 million.
