Change the variable Direct Debit policy to prevent abuse by the energy industry

We urge the Goverment to, at the very least, place strict limits on how much an energy company can raise a monthy Direct Debit amount without consent, and to ensure that the provision to pay bills in full upon issue, is made a mandatory requirement by energy companies and without penalty or levy. This way, the consumer can instead place their energy fund in their own savings accounts and received the interest on their own money.
