Stop energy companies offsetting debts on to other users
Rejected
12 signatures
What the petition asks
We require the government to ensure that the "profit making" energy companies do not penalise those account holders by making them to cover the debts of others!
Why should those people who like myself are making my payments, especially when I personally have a low income, pay for those who decide not to pay!!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about the energy price cap - including adjustments to address supplier costs relating to debt - are a matter for Ofgem, not the UK Government or Parliament.
