Freeze direct debits for three months and services still covered for home bills
All direct debits to be honoured by services providers and customers payments frozen during three month shielding and u.k. lockdown.
People have fell on hard times the chancellor schemes have not yet all started.
Almost 2 million are now on Universal credit. That money is not enough to cover each person's outgoings for household direct debit payments.
The monies owed can be re accrued after the cv19 crisis has ended.
Many people will lose their life insurance cover,if they can not meet the monthly payments.
