We recently published a news article about how energy companies have been accused of exploiting people through the use of pre-payment meters.
Energywatch argued that cheaper tariffs are only available to those who can pay either online or by direct debit and that making these tariffs the cheapest was unfair on those people who couldn’t access them (people without bank accounts or who are repaying debts to the energy companies).
Additionally, it is quite common knowledge that people who have meters in their homes are often those living on lower budgets as they are to be found regularly in rented accommodation and holiday homes.
When reporting about energywatch’s accusations, we at compareandsave.com found a gap in the information that the accusations were based on, namely that there are other ways of budgeting your energy bills without using prepayment meters and a bank account.
Based on this, we have produced a guide called 'Saving money on your energy bills' to talk you through the things you can do to cut down your monthly energy payments.
