- This Sunday, the new October to December Energy Price Cap kicks in, falling on average by 7%. So for the 90% of England, Scotland & Welsh homes on a price-capped tariff, then in simple terms, for every £100 you're currently paying, you'll pay roughly £93 from Sunday. Yet energy costs remain shockingly high, and this winter without the £400 energy support payment, many will be shelling out much more than last year. Martin Lewis has eight key need-to-know nows to help you prepare.

This year, the standing charge has been more than half of my energy bill.
The standing charge has DUPLICATED in 2 years.
The government is making sure that energy companies keep their pockets full.
Energy companies donate to the tories
same here. I am renting a tiny studio flat, so don't use that much energy Standing charge on electricity is around 85-90% of my bill
That’s such a rip off from the so called prices caps! What are they actually capping here….😢
Question.. I believe in helping our most vulnerable…totally for this and would and do ‘do’ what I can to support … what about the large proportion of mid-tier earners that still have 6/8x income multiples away from owning a home. Are affected by the same external macro environment surrounding CoL crisis…?
Statics are only worlds & numbers.
Action is the only way!
I blame the government working hand in hand with the energy companies.
The higher they charge, the more tax return for the Gov.
Smart meters are just a con. They dont help cut the bills.
The standing charge rises are totally immoral.
The Daily standing charges are nothing short of an abomination. Thank you for you continued campaign against it - please please continue.
Richard with a lovely Partridge moment there with his phone prop. Bellend.
"How do I know what email address to send?" Out of touch. Nobody emails their usage XD
Octopus Energy is not raising the standing charge.
I am with Octopus think they are brilliant staff so helpful
Unusual in this day and age.
If I’m honest my unit price for both Electric and Gas has not increased by a huge amount, but the standing charge for both has almost gone up by 3x
only reason we should check our meter is to check it's not a smart meter😂
The Martin Lewis money show live mental health special will be on 10th October on ITV don’t miss it 🎉🥳
Our government tax us an extra 100 billion while at the same time reducing support for working families.

Richard didn’t know how to give a meter reading 😳😳😳😳
He gets his staff to read it.
@@spacemonkey200he gets his pa to get his staff to read it.
I read my meter late in the day on the last day before a price increase. It was the last day of the month. EoN emailed me on 16th to read my meter again. I advised they already had my reading and had raised the bill. They went ahead and raised an estimated reading and another bill. The calculation for electricity units was incorrectly over calculated by 0.5 units. They did this everytime the tariffs changed. When checking the usage overall proved they had overcharged by 0.5 several times. It does not seem like much but multiply it by the number of customers!
They always do this overestimating or underestimating whichever means they can make more money.
You need to take a picture of your readings and ensure the meter number shows in the same image.
Metadata that shows date and time will be a massive help too.
Here is the biggest irony and a demonstration the government does bidding of the greedy corporations , evil capitalism.
It was our own martin lewis who warned if you a consumer give a false reading it is fraud and a criminal offence.
But has any energy company or its ceo been prosecuted for the fraudulent practice of inflating or under reading a meter reading so they can overcharge.
One law for the poor man another for the rich
@@RayCist4051 just had my bill. They estimated a reading on 1.10.23 , the error always happens on estimated readings. I read my meter on 2.10.23. ( forgot on 1st) when I calculate my real reading 2.10.23 minus my last real reading, it is 0.01 less than they have charged. Looks like my new supplier is at it as well. Going to do a quick reccie of total untils charged compared to my real units used. As this is the first time checking this since March, I wont hold my breath it's totally correct
1 1/2 years with a Gas meter that didn’t work.
Our energy supplier ended up changing our smart meter out and giving us 1 1/2 years of gas for free
Dont worry we pay what was then 1 1/2 years worth of gas in a month nowadays
That is how much has changed since then.
It also goes to show how much they are making if they even notice or miss 18 months of gas payments.
Thanks for your work your decency and honesty and compassion for the general public.!!!
If the Government hadn't given £400 to all households last winter including billionaires and millionaires they would have money available this winter to help families and elderly.
Just sent india 2 billion so we have money
I'd like the option to go off-grid. It seems very expensive to do. If you don't have the money to pay energy standing charges what are you supposed to do?
Thankyou Martin xx
I like Martin Lewis, but I do get angry that he thinks what advice he gives out , will help the people that are really struggling , it makes it sound we don’t know how to budget , but there’s no way we are going to budget our way out of this mess the greedy vile conservatives and corporate greedy people that are hovering all the wealth up , he should be screaming at the government to bring everything into public ownership
Wow thanks Ofgen legalised theft
My SMART METER hasnt functioned accurately for three years I continually told SHELL ENERGY about it and they have done nothing
British gas don't care me mums isn't working right and scottish power don't care as mines been blank since January :(
3:48 We all pay more on our bills for Smart Meters that don't work. Well said.
I have refused to have a smart metre
Clearly the presenter has never done a meter reading...
Has no idea, probably the same for the bins
Laugh In with Martin & Lewis. Anyone remember that program?
Every time I see Martin Lewis I wonder if his Mum and Dad were fans of the program lol :)
It was Rowen and Martins Laugh in
@@joyelmes7814 That's it!
Thank you Martin , just going to read the meter no .
When will you start a campaign on banning standing charges?? We are just been ripped off and paying for Co. that went bust.
Not all companies had standing charges before and too many people complained about it and offgen put standing charges onto all companies. I'm a very low electricity n gas users, before years ago with scottish power you could put your house on the holiday home type payment/bill, which was no standing charge at all but the unit price was a couple of pence dearer. It was great for people like me who used hardly any gas or electricity, but then there was a huge upcry about standing charges etc and the prices people were paying, so they removed this option and put standing charges back on for everyone. It was a very sad day for me as my standing charge for each, each week is more than I actually use in electricity n gas.
Wow look at Susan's she looks unbelievable ❤
She looks good with a bob
I just wish my name was Bob
My Smart Meter doesn't work and also my electric meter gives the same reading all the time. I have reported this many times since it stopped working in February on the day when EON fitted some solar panels to our roof but they will not even send an engineer. We have had an engineer from the company who EON employed to fit the panels and they cannot find anything wrong with their connections. I continue to send the same reading each month but EON's computer software doesn't seem to react to it.
The cost of running the smart meter system has been put onto the standing charge the first smartmeters are now obsolete and the standing charge will pay for new mk 2 smartmeters . This is why the cost of the standing charge is extortionate to fund a fraudulent system .
Can't my non smart prepayment electricity meter been blank since January. :( they won't fix it.
can your energy provider legally share your usage data with a different provider when you switch to this different provider?
I'm sick of repeatedly telling my supplier to come and fix my so called smart meter they just ignore me, tell me to reset it which doesn't work, then they tell me I have a problem they can't communicate with it, useless
We had the same problem with our gas meter.
It was a smart meter and didn’t work for over a year and a half.
We ended up getting free gas for this period.
Ive just topup my electric meter standard charge remain the same and still paying service fee at £1.51 😡😡
Seems this is the new norm. Tips on how to save. Thanks Martin but it's absolutely shocking
Cost of Living Payment will be made on 14th of Nov. And my building no longer qualifies for the Warm Winter Home Discount.
Cancel your energy direct debits, Start paying in monthly a set amount to your supplier. And you don't have a such a big bills.
Me mums British gas smart meter isn't taken meter readings, we've complained and they said she's to take the readings herself. She's had 2 knee replacements and a hip replacement and can't take the readings. British gas been taking estimated readings that don't even match, say there's an estimated reading of 11111 on 1st july and then the bill has a 1st July estimated reading of 11234, there's no way 2 estimated readings should be that different on the same day. We asked for an engineer, asked to open a complaint and was told NO, they know there's a fault with the meters and they just send back that the complaint is closed. What's the use of them paying a standing charge when the equipments not working right.
Prepare for a mass awakening as more people see through the matrix 🎉
I remember back in 2008 £25 on my electric key would last nearly 3 weeks its a joke but thats inflation etc the quicker we get these abusers out the better for everyone 😉
Seems like those "smart meters" are often not fit for purpose.
Done it already
My smart meter with ovo hasn’t been working for 9 months, they told me 9 months ago they were going to send me a new one 😡 still waiting, it’s the worst thing I ever did 🤦🏻 !!!!!
If you can just keep your own records of monthly readings and take photos of the meter. Just send the readings in. OVO are a nightmare and will raid your bank account with DD without accurate readings. You don't want to end up being £1000's in debit like some people have and that could go the other way. Good luck getting the money back out of them if that happens!
I recently got 4 grand back off them but i had to really kick off for it!
@@illumindonnaughty is that because they over charged you because your smart meter wasn’t working??
@janettinkler2204 No, not a smart meter, i just stupidly believed them when they gave an estimate of how much my new direct debit should be?
@@illumindonnaughty I’ve took readings today & it looks like I might be owed money now !
I have asked my energy supplier for a smart metre ...reply was iam on a smart metre ..
My metre has not been changed since I moved into this 1 bed bungalow 5 yrs ago..
Enery supplier says they read the amount of energy I use ..
I want a display unit in my house ..I got told I would have to buy my own display unit iam on a low income as a full time carer and cannot afford to buy a display unit can my provider not provide me with one ...
When I moved into this house it was a pre - paid metre it was changed but without an Engineer visiting my house..
Ricky Made clearly don't sort out his energy reading's...bet that's a judy job 😂
Nah
One of the servants does that task
i have a credit of nearly £800 but trying to get a refund back is impossible , i have ask 3 or 4 times , to get just £300 STILL NO LUCK ,they take £190 a month out my bank , what does a 81year do next .
Change your supplier. They will have to credit you any money they owe you.
Cancel your direct debit for a start and tell them your not paying them any more until they pay back what they owe you? Tell them they have drained all your savings and you have no food left?
Stop your direct debit till the amount of credit comes down.
God i detest Madeley
Martin Lewis is hot in the photo 😂
Stop paying your bill by direct debit, read your meter every month and make the company bill you only for what you have used that month ... they don't like it, they wanted to take £225 from my bank account every month I I use only £93 a month ... thats £132 difference why should these companies take your money then stash it in their account ... you know they never give it back!!
Keep a strict eye on your readings and money paid
Too much in your account ask for it back I have done this a few times without any quibble.
Plus if they are all sneakily charging you for 0.1 units used on electricity here and there, think of the millions thay make through slightly incorrect charging.reminds me of the scammers who used to take justt £1 out of mililions of people's bank accoubts. Not many noticed and they made an absolute fortune
Crikey, Susanna looks hot…💕
My direct debit is 95 pound in total for both i dunno what people are doing when they have bills of 300 pound a month, must have the heating on 30 with the windows open and the tumble dryer running 24 hours a day with the kettle running 15 times a day
My neighbour uses the same company, on duel fuel and paying by DD, with the same number of people in our houses
Their bill is more than twice what ours is and we're the end terrace
But to be fair I do catch them smelting iron in the back garden every afternoon
@@TheVicarThat iron smelting has just gotta stop.
@@johnb6723 Its their one vice. But to be fair we all have one
The problem is that they keep making more vices
