Already defaulted on the water due to crazy rise in s/c, looks like I will be doing same with gas and electric if prices go any higher... had enough!

Then you will face the consequences of your actions, which can only be regarded as a good thing.

How many other suppliers are essentially told to provide their goods for free without realistic measures to prevent people taking with no ability or worse potentially in some cases simply no intention to pay.

I suspect many retailers feel the same about shoplifting, and customers have to pay for it, until the business becomes non viable.

I think we will all face the consequences if more and more people are unable to pay their utility bills.

I do sometimes wonder though about the priority levels between Sky, Netflix, Disney+ and utility bills.

"if you are just failing to pay because you have literally “had enough” even though you can afford it, and are doing this as some form of protest, then you’re playing a dangerous game, and should probably reconsider. "

Worry not, I have worked out a way to (temporarily) beat the system, will be back to paying after a six month "payment holiday" for the water and same for gas/electric next year if there are any increase in s/c's, no details as the loophole would be rapidly plugged (nothing to do with benefits etc) and no effect on my financial standing (not that I care).

Do please enlighten us as to how you are temporarily beating the system. It is presumably Money Saving!
