mrchnry Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 £4,200 is the prediction for the January cap, just announced. People really are going to stop paying, then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People really are going to stop paying, then what? Wow, £350 per month is going to cripple a lot of people. As I said before, the price cap needs to be set at something deemed affordable for the majority and then government help for those people and businesses that require it. This current method is **** up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Give me a shout when it’s time to go and set fire to parliament and then go and lynch the bosses of these energy companies. We need a good rioting. Edited August 9, 2022 by Ingram85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 We were offered a fix in June. I looked at the advice then and I think it was consider a fix if it's less than 45/50% increase. I think ours was a 35-40%increase so took it. The advice now is anything less than a 95% increase! taking into account further rises. That is crazy!

bobzy Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Not sure what is regarded as "typical", but I imagine our energy bills run higher than typical (will check properly when home). Possibly looking at £420/month in Jan, on top of £1.4k/month mortgage and average £1k/month nursery costs. That's pretty much £3k out the door before food.

chrisp65 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 It’s going to be ‘interesting’. £400 a month just isn’t a figure many people are going to have spare. There will be people already topping up their day to day spending with credit cards. Fascinating in an utterly grim way, to see this unfold in a country with no functioning government. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be closer to 550 per month next year, based on the current live market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Nursery costs are disgusting, dont miss that one but. You actually resent the people because of the cost which is unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's effectively a double payment of the mortagage. I won't be able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
