I currently pay £180 a month on a fixed rate which is ending in September

Ovo have offered another fixed at £450 a month yet the variable rate is £225

I am in credit to the tune of £615. I went online to see what I could get back. £75 they offered unless I ring.

In two minds about ringing Monday to get some of that money

Fuck the bills later. Pay what you can as we are not alone in this. Loads will struggle. I not sure there is a lot the energy companies can do. Turn everyone off, I doubt it

If you’re in credit why can’t you get it all? It’s your money?

Forecast to be £6000 per year next April and all because people didn’t want Corbin to nationalise it. It’s worked out well for the shareholders I suppose…

Ha ha no one is paying that, the energy companies themselves have already realised this, if they cut off all those who can’t and won’t pay, they won’t be getting any cash, watch them profits tumble and shareholders shit themselves. I’m afraid the energy companies have to take the hit on this, maybe only make £5billion rather than 10!

What the actual fuck...

GPs could prescribe money off energy bills under Treasury plan

Proposal would mean doctors would assess whether patients are struggling enough to require help

Anything to pass the buck!!

Could OFGEM just refuse to lift the price cap?

Knowing the BMA mindset that won’t get past the first hurdle -
The extra cash GPs will demand for doing it.
Anyway, I thought Truss believed doctors were already over paid.

Why would they? They climbed into bed with the energy companies last year and they don’t seem to have any intentions of leaving their cosy little nest.

They could just be a proposer regulator and set the price.

That’s that then.

GPs reject Treasury plan for them to prescribe money off energy bills

It ‘beggars belief’ that ministers think doctors could assess if patients were vulnerable enough to need help, says GP leader

www.theguardian.com

Dr David Wrigley, BMA England GP committee deputy chair, said it “beggars belief that government ministers think it is appropriate to suggest GPs undertake this work”. “At a time when GPs are already overwhelmed with the greatest workforce crisis and longest waiting lists in memory, this addition to their workload is totally unacceptable,” he said.

“They do not have the time or the skills to do the work of the welfare system. The government has not discussed this with us in any form – floating these sorts of proposals via the media is deeply unprofessional.”

I still pay my gas and electric by cheque. Have never let the cunts near my bank account by doing that fucking direct debit shite. They phone my wife every month to say how much less I'd be paying if I went to direct debit, they've been at it for years. Fuck them. Always wait for the reminder as well. I've even fucked about with the cheque in the past - not signed it, just to fuck them around.
