Non-Direct Debit Surcharge By Energy Companies

EDM number 937 in 2013-14, proposed by Robert Halfon on 13/01/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Companies, Consumers, Energy, Financial services and Utilities.

That this House notes that 17 energy companies are effectively charging consumers extra for not paying by direct debit; condemns those companies for that practice; further notes that four energy companies offer other payment methods at no extra cost; concludes that many companies are charging excessive fees to consumers using alternate payment methods; and therefore urges Ofgem and the Government to investigate those charges.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
