Today's Poll: Would you take a well paid job, say 3x current pay, at a company owned by a country that was unfriendly to, virtually an enemy of, the UK? (It isn't spying).

@MartinSLewis Minimum price cap with my energy company is a £20 pm hike 😬
English
Please share this with anyone on the Price Cap. Things are changing rapidly so if you are going to take action, doing it asap gives you the broadest choice.
Martin Lewis@MartinSLewis
Important: If you can get off the Energy Price Cap right now, you should & urgently! - The wholesale gas rate is spiking due to the Iran conflict, and it is a prime driver or UK elec prices. If that's sustained (big if), it will likely push the Price Cap rate up from July - Some of the cheap fixes from before the weekend haven't (yet) been pulled, so you can still lock in a rate at around 14% less than the current Price Cap, both saving you money and giving peace of mind that the rate can't rise. You can do a whole-of-market comparison via cheapenergyclub.com - However, many firms are reassessing their fix prices today and may reprice their deals upward. There's a risk many of the current cheapest fixes will be gone by this time tomorrow - Plus, fix now, and unprecedentedly the rate you lock in at will be reduced on 1 April. This is because govt is changing the underlying way energy bills work and moving some policy costs to general taxation. That reduces the elec & gas unit rates even for those already on fixes. So even if you fix now the amount you pay will drop by 7% to 9% on typical usage on 1 April - Fixes are available for most payment methods except prepay. Those on smart prepay can look at the EDF Simply Tracker tariff, which is effectively a price cap tariff with £100 lower Standing Charges (and £70 extra cashback on top via the link above) PS How to know if you're on a Price Cap? The Price Cap only applies to firms' Standard Variable tariffs. It's the default tariff you're on if you haven't chosen another deal, or your deal (eg a fix) ended and you did nothing. If you're fixed, on an EV tariff, a time of use tariff, or other specialist tariff, you are not on the Price Cap.

@MartinSLewis So we can forget about the drop in prices come April then 🙈

Planning to imminently FIX your energy bill? Don't dawdle. Firms are repricing upwards today & tomorrow on back of Iran. Cheapest still 14% under Price Cap but I doubt for long (it may rebound, but in v short term they're up). Whole of market comparison.. cheapenergyclub.com

@Dpduk_1 I don't see why you can't just reply to DMs 🤔 Why the need for peoples numbers?? We'll contact the real DPD instead 🤷
English
@Dpduk_1 you can't expect people to be in on demand! Given a 1 hour delivery slot that we can't change.( as informed on the tracking) These are meds that are needed but we won't get because we have the cheek to work for a living. 🤦
English
@MartinSLewis Yes, mine has an online self serv option/ calculations/ messages etc. Due to high demand it was disabled. Took me 6 months to get them to reply to my query via email. I emailed several times! I rang & was told my query was with an advisor.

Are you having issues with the civil service pension, delays or contact difficulties? If so how long has it been going on and what are the problems you face.
I'm asking my news team to take a look at it. They'll be going through your responses as part of our research.
English
@MartinSLewis Be kind to yourself. Strive for a good work / life balance early on.( At 16 when I began work I was informed I could retire at 60!! Now we know that isn't the case.) Start that pension pot early!!! So you can retire early & above all enjoy life with no regrets. 🙂

@BOTE1414 @MartinSLewis @BeatriceP8765 My thoughts too. Unfortunately I have seen many not even reach their earliest age to claim their private pensions.. Which has also being put up to age 58 now.
English
@MartinSLewis @BeatriceP8765 Martin, I’ve topped up my missing years (last year) but remain fearful about both potential increases in the retirement age and mooted means testing of pension. The uncertainty is surely discouraging some from following your advice?
English
Pls share. If someone hasn't checked this yet and is between the age of 40 and 73. Without exaggeration it could be worth £10,000s, so check. If you miss it now the door shuts forever on 5 April.
