Order the cancellation of ALL household bills during Corona Virus Crisis

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

People need to be relieved of the worry of paying their mortgage, rent, council tax, VAT, utility bills, business rates and credit cards during this crisis and not to be tempted to work whilst ill and spread the virus around.
During this unprecedented crisis many people are not going to be able to work or will be on short time working.
They MUST be relieved of the extra worry of not being able to pay their bills.
Nor should they be evicted from their properties.
All evictions to STOP IMMEDIATELY.
All court cases for non payment to CEASE IMMEDIATELY.
It should be complete CANCELLATION of bills not adding to future payments with interest on top.
