I’ve heard nothing from eon.next so far, I have power of attorney for my father, I deal with the bills. When the direct debit goes up in October, his pension won’t cover it, he has no overdraft facility and no credit cards or anything like that, I had it removed a couple of years ago when he got into debt, between us 3 siblings, we paid it off.
What do folks think, am I in my rights to ask them to keep the direct debit the same?
We know that a debt is likely to build up, but my brother told me he’d be able to pay it off. Dad has rheumatoid arthritis. My parents have definitely cut down their energy use, we got rid of an old fridge freezer, that took £20 off the bills per month, they use ipads for entertainment, big telly stays off, don’t use oven anymore, stuff like that. It’s heating the house that I’m concerned about, the temperature dropped a little bit this week and he’s already in pain. 91 year olds can’t sit in the cold. Dad built this house, it’s big and the main living space is open plan, what are we supposed to do, build walls so we can heat one bit?
