Martin Lewis evidence to MPs… the biggest area of complaint I get about energy bills is on the Standing Charge.
Just a small part of the evidence given at the Commons Public Accounts committee you can watch the full session here: https://t.co/EWNRsrTH1l
@Efc12Evans They were terrible! 2nd half they showed no energy at all not even for small periods! Will get out of group but not much further unfortunately
@Ed_Miliband You could always say the energy companies stop the standing charge on all bills whilst the bills increase! My electric bill this month is lower than my standing charge!
@Ed_Miliband You haven’t got a clue..even if you had to pay for your energy you will more than likely claim it back through expenses! Get your head out of your ass!
Just a rant,my energy bill for my last period was £69 for which £28 consists of the standing charge, my electric standing charge is 50p lower then my usage! They need to get rid of the standing charge even if for a small period!
