Just pay by direct debit...

British Gas puts up energy prices
And the BBC uncritically tells people that they can save £50 by switching to payment by direct debit. Which they could, if they all had bank accounts, and we already know many of the people most affected by this increase don't, and if they could also afford the risk of having the contents of their bank accounts seized if they aren't able to/don't pay their bills, which they can't, which is why many of the poorest people in the UK pay these types of bills by cash.

But hey, middle class news for the middle classes, because everyone worth knowing already has a bank account, n'est pas?
