Yes Margret I fully agree with you on this topic but no matter what the gov says it is up to us to save power so that our bills are lower.

It's just shame that the gov don't do anything to help out people when the bills get to big more so during wintertime and the power companies are threating to take court action to make you pay and then add extra costs to bill.

Folks on limited income can really struggle at these times and get worried when the nasty letters and phone calls come in.

Think that if the gov put a cap on what can be charged and be there to help out by getting the extras taken off AND making it much harder for them to start court action/cut power then these people maybe then able to make some payments during the summertime to offset winter bills or play at catch up depending on their situation.
