Lewis Advisory Issued
Martin Lewis issues national warning for households to review energy tariffs.
Consumer advocate Martin Lewis has issued a critical directive for UK households to review energy contracts before the April 1 price cap adjustment. The warning comes as shifting wholesale costs and regulatory updates threaten to increase household utility expenditures.
