After Ofgem announced last week that its price cap will rise to £3,549 from October 1, millions of Brits are checking their energy usage to find out where they can cut back and save money. But one woman has said she's been unable to get through to her flatmates on the importance of using less energy, which has left her struggling to see how she can keep on sharing a home with them.
The woman claimed she currently splits her bills evenly with her two friends, but they use more electricity than she does as they like to leave lights on in the house and even go to sleep with their TV on. She proposed a plan to cut back on their energy usage to reduce their bills but was told they wouldn't "give up their comforts" just because she can't afford her third of the bills.
