Description:
The surge in households seeking aid for unpaid energy bills leading to court actions has doubled in the past year, as noted by Citizens Advice. Suppliers are increasingly resorting to legal measures to recoup energy debts, potentially causing long-term financial strain for households. This trend seems to have intensified following Ofgem's imposition of stringent restrictions on mandatory prepayment meter installations. <br/><br/>Last year, Citizens Advice provided guidance to 349 households facing County Court Judgments (CCJs) due to overdue gas and electricity bills, compared to 179 in 2022, coinciding with a record-high energy debt of £3.1 billion. The CCJs reported are the highest since 2019, likely representing only a fraction of the total judgments issued for energy debt recovery. Despite Ofgem's recent reduction of the energy price cap to £1,690 annually for typical dual fuel bills, data shows that energy debt continued to climb by £2.8 million daily in the latter half of last year, -So what can be done to reduce those energy costs?

_ferrari-f1-japanese-grand-prix-2024-preview.webp "It’s time for the Japanese Grand Prix, one of the most popular events on the calendar for enthusiasts and F1 folk alike. Suzuka first featured on the World Championship trail almost four decades ago and along with two races at Fuji in the mid-70s and again in 2007 and 2008 and with two Pacific Grands Prix in the Nineties, the Land of the Rising Sun has played an important part in the history of the sport. Suzuka is special, not just because of the beautiful figure-of-eight track, but also because of the electrifying atmosphere around the circuit, the grandstands packed with local fans, both young and old who love to dress up in race suits, often wearing the most bizarre home-made caps made to look like the race cars, as they wander around the track and even in the paddock.<br/><br/>If the 18 corners that make up Suzuka circuit could talk, they would tell the tale of some of the most memorable moments in the history of the sport. So many world championships have been decided here, many of them in favour of Scuderia Ferrari. In 2000 came the “Red Dawn” as the tifosi called it, when Michael Schumacher won the race to clinch his first title in red, repeating the feat in Japan in 2003. There were also moments of disappointment for the Prancing Horse, in 1990 when Alain Prost was beaten to the crown by Ayrton Senna and in 1998, when Schumacher was bested by Mika Häkkinen.")
