Tell us: are you taking part in the Don’t Pay UK campaign?

More than 9o,000 people in the UK have pledged to not pay their energy bills when the regulator raises the energy price cap on 1 October.

The Don’t Pay UK campaign, which says it will only act if one million people join, is gathering steam as analysts forecast that the average household bill will climb beyond £3,300 a year. It is then expected to soar over £4,200 from January.

But charities have warned that non-payment carries serious risks, including accruing debt and impacts to customers’ credit scores.

We’d like to hear from people in the UK about their views on the campaign. Are you considering taking part in the non-payment strike? Are you concerned about possible consequences or is there no alternative?

We’d also like to hear from people involved in other campaigns.
