Freeze all payments for bills in the event of a UK national shutdown
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Freeze all payments, mortgage, gas, electric, water, council tax, any finance agreements with third part companies. Any financial payments that will effect the lives of so many in the event of a national shutdown
Because if you don’t do it and coronavirus or any other virus of the like is to spread to significant numbers and the country orders a national shut down of self isolation, who’s going to cover the costs for my bills ? I certainly can’t as I will not be earning nothing, national sick pay is a joke and doesn’t even cover a phone bill let alone all the other bills single working dads have to pay
