Founder of Money Saving Expert website, Martin Lewis, issued advice for all households to submit a meter reading before the price cap increase last week.
April 1 saw household energy bills rise by a staggering 54%. This means that about 22 million households will be seeing a massive jump of an average £700/year on their outgoings.
Martin warned people 'not to panic' as customers rushed to submit meter readings before Friday's price jump. But on the day of the price increases, energy supplier websites crashed meaning that many people weren't able to submit readings on the day.
