Payments for ALL bills to be fully covered until COVID-19 has completely passed.
All of bills such as rent/mortgage, council tax, any insurance, energy bills, water bills and ANY other bills that need paying to be put on hold and for us not to pay anything until the virus has fully passed and we are all safe to go back to normal.
We cannot afford any payments for any bills at all if everyone is on lockdown, in isolation and unable to work. We are all going to be in so much debt after this if we have to carry on paying bills and not able to work.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because suspending payments for mortgages, rent and utility bills is a matter for individual lenders, landlords, and utility companies and not the UK Government or Parliament.
Since this petition was started, the Government has announced a ban on evictions from social or private rented accommodation while this national emergency is taking place. You can find out more here: www.gov.uk/government/news/complete-ban-on-evictions-and-additional-protection-for-renters
