MSE News: Half of consumers 'don't trust their energy firm'

For "trust" read "confidence" or rather "lack of" and I'm surprised it's only 50%. For example when the price of wholesale gas goes down the consumer price doesn't go down and we are treated to excuses such as the need to buy in advance. That is exactly the argument against the energy companies that I personally hear the most. Now we are told that energy prices are due to rise much more but we can bet that the company profits will not be affected: There is such a thing as setting aside some profits to pay for future development which the energy companies appear to be not doing. So when they need to upgrade prices have to rise!

It's not only energy companies though: Banks were responsible for the crisis of 2007/8 and the ensuing credit crunch which affected everyone. We gave them billions so they could inject it into the economy and promote growth and all they did was use it to pay themselves fat bonuses - and they did it twice!

So lack of confidence isn't confined to the energy companies. It isn't rocket science to arrive at the conclusion that we as consumers are being ripped off! Energy, banks, telecommunications, even the price of bread!

do i really care about Trust ???
