I've been citizens advice and they state I can only be charged what they pay and the standing charge and vat at 5% and I challenged the shop who still refuses to accept this and I don't really want to take it to a small claims court cause I have mental health issues and I informed the council too and I'm just getting further into debt cause I'm paying £100 average a month on bills0
