One thing's inevitable, people and businesses can only pay what they can afford for energy.
This is obvious and there are outgoings that take precedence over energy bills.
In due course, there'll be a mass cancellation of direct debits.
It's not a question of 'don't pay' consumers and businesses will pay what they can afford.
This is inevitable.
People and businesses can't pay what they can't afford. To use a cliche, 'can't get blood out of a stone'.
There will be an inevitable mass cancellation of direct debits. When will you be forced to cancel yours for example?
The quicker the mass cancellation of direct debits happens the better and if a growing tsunami of cancellations washes over Ms Truss next week she'll have to take meaningful action.
It's inevitable that cancellations will happen and if it's planned and controlled it becomes a 'market force' due to consumer action.
So, I'm campaigning for people to cancel direct debits now and notify the outfit that charges for energy in writing that payments are not being stopped but can only be what is affordable.
Here's a link to a sample consumer letter https://bit.ly/canceldirectdebit
What no one seems to realise is that it's large sections of the energy sector that'll go bust and will have to be taken into public ownership for a while at least.
