Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has sent a message to customers paying their energy bills by direct debit. Taking to Good Morning Britain on Wednesday (May 3), he said money accumulated in credit would be better in the pockets of customers.
Using a graph to show how direct debits are higher during the colder months to account for increased usage, the presenter and journalist said energy companies were sitting on an estimated £7 billion in customer credit, reports the Liverpool Echo.
But as we head into the warmer months, and with energy bills expected to drop by around 20% from July, many people could be paying too much and need to take action, the Daily Record reports.
