Don't miss the deadline
Martin Lewis has warned people with an energy meter of a fast approaching deadline they need to be aware of ahead of a rise in electricity and gas prices.
This is the last day of the month and the last day before the October 1 price rise, with September 30 dubbed 'Meter Reading Day'. He offered similar advice earlier this year at the end of April which saw energy websites crash due to the demand with many trying to submit readings to their providers.However, ahead of September 30, Martin has urged people to try a different tack and take a photo of it if they are struggling to upload it.
Martin explained that he did not want websites to crash again after his advice in April triggered a surge in people wanting to submit their readings online. He told viewers on his programme: "I don't want that to happen again." "It makes it much easier and more importantly there are many vulnerable people who are struggling right now and looking to their energy firms to help and I don't want to down all the phone lines, so if I'm honest I am doing a little bit of social engineering here by saying take the pressure off the day and let's spread it over a week and it should be less hassle."
