What are your thoughts about the Banking system Interest Rates going into NEGATIVE Interest Rate?

  • How trustworthy are 'Look After My Bills' company that take over looking after you Utility bills with the many various companies on the market? Even thought some of these companies I myself wouldn't touch with a 'barge pole' through personal experience, but once you sign up you lose control about which company they use?
  • Are all the major Utility Companies putting their prices up in October 2020, as mine ( Bulb Energy ) suggested increasing mine DD by +£38/month, but having a few run ins with them they still want to raise the DD by £31/month. What is exactly going on? Do I join this L.A.M.B. company or do a comparison search myself?
