All people have manage to succeed in unnecessarily doing is to push prices artificially higher. For which we ALL lose out.
This is exactly what has happened to me, I had a debit of £55 so I paid £65 to avoid anymore debt. My plan was renewed and they put the DD up to £123 a month. That went out, looked at my account this morning and it’s £85 in credit! I’m using around £65 a month, and all it said was I could change my direct debit to £118, so just the £5. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Also this time last year I lived in a 4 bedroom house and was paying £99 a month, I’ve moved to a small 2 bed bungalow and I’m paying even more!It's like a war trying to reduce your DD amount. I'm hundreds in credit and it let's me reduce it by £5 a time . Then have to request again once that's approved and then they just go and ingore all this even though my usage shows they're massively estimating more. They refuse to take no payments for a couple of months to get it back closer to 0. But it's so infuriating calling them up I'm trying to ignore it.
Did you move to downsize your outgoings? It seems now with council tax going up plus fuel, it's not really making it worth downsizing in some areasThis is exactly what has happened to me, I had a debit of £55 so I paid £65 to avoid anymore debt.

I've heard mutterings of over £2 a litre was being charged in some Central London petrol stations, during the panic buying!I remember the discussion s when it went over £1 per litre, tbh I can see it reaching 1.50 soon.
I paid 133 before the panic buying! Our tesco has turned off the prices outside so you don't know until you get to the pumpPetrol prices in my local area.

Like they say in the fancy shops, Ii you need to ask how much it is then you can't afford it.I paid 133 before the panic buying! Our tesco has turned off the prices outside so you don't know until you get to the pump
That will have a knock on effect on the end product prices then.
It's because we are all getting gas from Russia who have hiked the price but that wouldn't be possible if they hadn't let China drain their long term storage, so I think we can safely conclude that it's a communist plot to end capitalism by removing all our money
I just layer up and get cosy under a blanket on the sofa when it’s cold but the other half walked in the house tonight (he’s been living away the past few months and is home for a visit) and declared it to be freezing so I had to go put the heating onIt's the first time I've felt really cold tonight, popped another quilt on bed, no ch to switch on, it's not the end of the world, tbh I'd rather be cold so can layer up than boiling hot and can't cool down!
I went to fill up on Tuesday and was really shocked at the prices. I believe diesel was 145.9 and unleaded 142.9Petrol prices in my local area.

If people hadnt of panic bought fuel, we would now be seeing prices in the 131-137p range for standard (not premium) fuel. Whilst not brilliant, it would have still been an improvement on the 141p+ we are seeing now.I went to fill up on Tuesday and was really shocked at the prices.

I was talking to a family member the other day and said “remember when fuel was 99p” and she was adamant it’s never been 99p! I’m gonna show her your post to prove myself rightIf people hadnt of panic bought fuel, we would now be seeing prices in the 131-137p range for standard (not premium) fuel.

Last year when the pandemic was in full flow and people weren't going anywhere, I managed to fill up on Diesel at ASDA for 99p a litre!
I remember it being 99p, would of been around 20 years agoI was talking to a family member the other day and said “remember when fuel was 99p” and she was adamant it’s never been 99p! I’m gonna show her your post to prove myself right
