Rejected petition Force energy providers to pay interest on positive balances.

More details

Require the government to make energy providers pay interest on money that accrues in direct debit accounts. Set a minimum of say £25 and introduce 5% interest payment on money above this. They would then not hang onto large amounts of money in accounts without rushing to repay it.
