Life will be tough over the next couple of months... Pandemic...Universal Credit and Energy prices...

 Today's Headline...


Seven energy suppliers Hub, Money Plus, Utility Point, People's Energy, PFP, Green and Avro have gone out of business. There are fears more firms could follow. Bulb, which has 1.7 million customers, is trying to bolster its finances and Igloo is working with consultants. Many firms have struggled because they offered customers cheap fixed deals and the price of gas has since soared. If your energy provider goes bust, you will still receive gas and electricity. Your account will be moved to a new supplier by energy regulator Ofgem.  You can't chose the provider and may end up on a more expensive tariff.
