As the cost of living crisis continues to put extreme pressure on households across the UK, new Prime Minister Liz Truss announced a price freeze on energy bills for the rest of the year.
The Prime Minister capped bills at £2,400 a year, an amount which will be frozen for two years. However, organisations such as Don’t Pay UK, the consumer strike on energy bills movement, states that the announcement doesn’t go far enough and won’t stop thousands struggling to pay.
The movement continues to gain traction, currently racking up nearly 190,000 signatures of those planning to cancel their direct debits from October, and demand a decrease in rates to an affordable level. Business experts Bionic have taken a closer look at individuals rights as a consumer.
