And just how are they going to get it back off the electricity company?Yes, you have a very good point there. I know there are a lot of people that really are in trouble, but my daughter mentioned this morning that there was a huge thread on Facebook where someone was asking what people would do with the £400 "bonus" - that's what they called it - that the government are giving to help towards energy prices, and lots of people were saying they're going to buy Christmas presents early, or put it towards a holiday. Many of them really don't understand what it means to actually be completely broke.
Octopus have said they will credit against your billAnd just how are they going to get it back off the electricity company?
Only BG have said they are putting the money in bank accounts. It’s expected others will just credit your electricity bill.
Another company have also said they'll pay it as a £66 monthly refund to customer's direct debits. I can't remember who, but it wasn't BG.Octopus have said they will credit against your bill
Yes, but as a discount off the bill in most cases, not as a refund to your direct debit payment.They are all doing it over 6 monthly payments of £66/67
No it literally does have a lot to do with the war and Putin's squeezing of the gas pipelines. Germanys prices are going through the roof, everyone is affected. We will see action from the govt soon, before the big increase hits. I suspect they will give each household a higher amount than the £400 being offered at the moment.It has literally nothing to do with what Russia are doing though....Im not saying he doesnt want to see what you are saying but the cost of living crisis has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine.....and even if it does how have other European governments managed to avoid these huge cost of living rises......yet ours wont
They have and I'm fine with that, as it will reduce the DD anywayOctopus have said they will credit against your bill
