Martin Lewis issues warning to those paying energy bills via direct debit
From this weekend onwards, bills will have rise by 10p per kilowatt hour of gas and 34p per kilowatt hour of electricity.
The money saving expert warned consumers that they should submit meter readings to lower their energy costs.
He wrote on Twitter: “WARNING: It’s #MeterReadingWeek. On Sat most energy bills rise 27%”.
Martin uploaded a video too, in which he said: “If you pay by direct debit, firms estimate your use and they also estimate when it’s used, so you don’t want them to assign more of your units to the more expensive period.
“How do you stop that? You submit a meter reading. Take a picture, too, so you have evidence.”
