PHONE-IN
People are being warned of the consequences of not paying their energy bills, as a campaign to refuse payment gathers supporters. 
The Don't Pay group, which is demanding a reduction of bills to an affordable level, says more than 80,000 people have pledged to cancel their direct debit payments from 1 October. 
This is the date the price cap - the maximum amount suppliers can charge customers in England, Scotland and Wales for each unit of energy - increases.
Analysts are forecasting the typical customer is likely to pay £3,358 a year from October, up from £1,971 a year in April.
Don't Pay says millions of people won't be able to afford their energy bills this winter - and that its campaign is the only way to force the government and energy companies to take action. The group also says it won't take any action unless one million people sign up and it is "consulting extensively" with legal and personal debt experts.
