A Call for Energy Companies to Lower Prepay Energy Tariffs
It is a sad fact of life that in so many financial areas the people who can least afford it, get penalised the most. Whether it be the banks or the energy companies, the financially kick a man when they are down policy seems to be as rife a ever. Would it really hurt the energy companies that much to bring their prepay tariff prices down in line with their direct-debit prices, bearing in mind that the people who have to opt for the prepay system are the people that find themselves eternally treading water to try and stay afloat in this corrupt and imbalanced society? They are already disadvantaged enough compared to many and a little more compassion from those that can afford it could make a big difference to those that can't. Given the inconvenience of the prepay system, the fact that people can be left stranded completely without power until they can organise a top up, and the fact that it is the most disadvantaged in our society that are forced to adopt this system, the price of prepay energy should arguably be the cheapest on offer and not the most expensive.
