What happens if you don’t pay energy bills?

Listen on

Episode notes

A growing campaign ‘Don’t Pay UK’ is aiming to get one million people to pledge not to pay their energy bills once the price cap goes up in October. 

Their argument is that if enough people do this, it will force energy companies to look at ways to ease financial pressures. Over 97,000 people have already ‘promised’ to cancel their direct debits and the number is rising. 

But, what exactly happens if you don't pay your energy bills? Debt advisor, Sara Williams, behind the advice blog debtcamel.co.uk explains the risks.
