Citizens Advice can help EDF customers manage fuel bills this winter

26 October 2012

Citizens Advice Chief Executive Gillian Guy said:

"With two out of five people worried they won't be able to pay their next energy bills, the price hike from EDF will be a real concern for its customers, especially as we head into winter. This week, through Big Energy Saving Week, we've been encouraging people to check, switch and insulate in order to pay less to have a warm home and the lights on this winter. But we want to reassure people that this help is on hand throughout the whole year. Anyone struggling with their energy bills or wanting to get a better deal can go to their local CAB for help or visit adviceguide.org.uk."
