Martin Lewis has sent a lengthy letter to the Government urging them to reconsider an upcoming rise in energy bills. The MoneySavingExpert founder decided to take matters into his own hands ahead of the proposed 20 percent increase coming into force in April this year.
The financial expert penned a letter addressed to the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt asking him 'urgently consider' postponing the rise as he suggested it is a 'disproportionate decision' that could be even more damaging amidst the crippling cost of living crisis.
Martin suggested that the additional rise in April could put another 1.7 million households into fuel poverty which would drastically rise the number from an already 'shocking' 6.7 million to 8.4 million - to which he says is a 'frightening' statistic.
