Worried about bills? Bailiffs? Want to be able to protect yourself and the community? No patronising money saving tips!
In September this year, we held an event on the cost of living crisis. Where we discussed debt, the #dontpayuk campaign, and the history of similar campaigns including the poll tax non-payment campaigns and utility strikes in Bolivia and South Africa. The day also included training on community protection! Data from Citizen's advice, predict that huge numbers of people are to be put on prepayment metres over this winter, additionally many will fall behind with rent or mortgages. Utility companies are supposed to negotiate with customers that go into debt, offering a repayment plan and so on, but often we know this does not happen. Additionally, we know of people who have had metres force fitted when they should not have.
In the next 2 weeks we have the following events!
