A law to suspend payment ofrent utilities council tax and overdrafts for Covid19
I want the government to pass legislation to stop all legal action in pursuing people who prefer to feed their children than pay their meagre incomes to utility companies, banks, building societies & local authorities. Suspend all payments to these groups for the duration of the Covid 19 pandemic.
The government needs to pass legislation to force businesses & local authorities from pursuing people who don't pay for essentials that they can't afford. The corona virus is the most terrifying outbreak in our lifetimes & the fear of catching the disease shouldn't impact people's mental health or put them in the position of feeding their children or lining the pockets of CEO's and shareholders of these companies or the bailiffs that they employ to pursue these debts. Legislation not starvation
