Petition Ensure fair treatment of pre-pay energy users.

There are over 3 to 4 million pre-pay energy customers. Most owe money to an energy provider. Each pays about £226 more for energy than a standard tariff user and are forced to pay back their debt at an extortionate rate - in many cases 70% is taken for debt from energy purchases.
