UK isn’t even that high in the debt to gbp tables. A little above mid for developed countries.

Yeah just had a look! Japan! Ouch

Looks like if our economies start stalling and interest is rising we have gotten half of the western world in a bind

I think so yes, defaulting on my electric bill, no other bills.

That's what that Don't Pay movement is about, isn't it? If enough people stop paying, it can't be ignored. I do worry though, if only a few do it, they'll be made an example of.

I believe if you can pay, pay. Especially if you need or plan to need credit in the future.

I guess a lot of Europe is in the same Boat. Europe really is dying off

Your getting close, we are on the precipice of a major shift.

I'm okay with whatever the example is.

I don't need or want credit in the future.

7 years is a long time.

Pay your money and take your chances, or in this case, don't pay your money and take your chances.

Whatever happens, start of October will definitely be an interesting time.

Was saying to my gf.
I've done everything I feel I can to derisk us from the incoming. But I can't really guess what the UK (and the world) is going to look like in 6 months.

If the tories genuinely did nothing all bets are off.

Depends if you want CCJ’s against your name.

If people genuinely can’t pay then contact the supplier who can help.

Stopping the DD and not paying it is a step towards more financial issues.

All this don't pay stuff winds me up, if you want to make a stand then get disconnected. you know the price, so either pay it or disconnect.

Imo it's a stupid move that only hurts those who genuinely can't pay in the end.

3.5 for good behaviour or possibly a suspended sentence due to overcrowding and full prisons?!?

Or don't pay it.

Not worth it imo. No good will come from it. Bailiffs won’t be going out of business any time soon if it does happen.

I think lots of us will be looking forward to the spring come march.

I don't think it will get that far.

What are you doing to use 600 kwh a month?

There is EV tariffs for EV owners which are very favourable and wouldnt be affected by this.

You can hit 600kw a month fairly easily if for example you work from home and use electric cooking, or are disabled and stuck in the house.

We're at 620 a month (rough average) simply because there are 3 people in the house most of the time, the "average use" seems to be based on the idea that no one is home for 8-10 hours a day 5 days a week and I strongly suspect may not have been updated in years.
