The end of the £400 energy rebate will see gas and electricity bills rise by at least £67 from April
Households are facing an onslaught of price hikes that could leave the average family hundreds of pounds a year worse off. From April 1, millions of people will face increases to their Council Tax, broadband, mobile and water bills.
Matthew Upton, director of policy at Citizens Advice, said: “Millions of people will now have to stomach inflation-busting price hikes on their mobile and broadband contracts, totalling an average of £90 more a year. We called on these firms to support their customers during this uniquely challenging time, but they didn’t listen. Instead, they’re pushing ahead with these mid-contract price rises.
Top Money Stories Today Household finances app Nous.co has calculated that a typical family will be £682.70 a year worse off as a result of the increases. Following close behind the increases will be higher mortgage payments for borrowers shopping for a new deal as well as those with variable loans after the Bank of England raised borrowing rates to a 14-year high of 4.25 per cent.
