A warning has been issued by Ofgem after campaigners have encouraged people to not pay their energy bills. Don't Pay UK is driving households to stop paying their bills from October 1 if there is no intervention amid the rising costs.
Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has already warned of a 'bleak winter' with the energy price cap is set to rise further. But as millions across the UK are already facing financial struggles, regulator Ofgem confirmed its price cap would be reviewed every three months.
There are predictions the price cap, currently £1,971 a year, will jump to £3,523 in October, then up again to £4,210 in January, Yorkshire Live reports. In response, Don't Pay UK is calling on energy customers to take a stand, even though it could risk customers being disconnected.
