Tentacles

My energy supplier told me last week that it will increase my monthly direct debit by 50% from November 1, even though I have a significant credit balance.

I have told them to piss up a rope, to leave it as it is and let me manage my account myself.

Currently, UK energy companies hold £3 billion of their customers’ money in positive balances. That cash will be earning significant interest. It would be nice to think that all of it goes I into reducing bills, rather than to shareholders, but that would be naive.

    Call them out. The people deserve to know.

    Yes, my energy supplier tried that. I’m also in credit and told them much the same.
