Payment protection claims and loan refunds could be used to alleviate the pressure many households will face this winter caused by the high price of gas and electricity.Brendan Barber, Trades Union Congress's general secretary, stated that although the Office for National Statistics yesterday announced a general decrease in the level of inflation, many families will still be concerned about their finances.He said a "reduction in food price inflation will provide some help to household budgets," but many will still struggle with high electricity and gas prices as winter begins.Households face a tough Christmas as inflation will still continue to affect how much their wages are worth in real terms, Mr Barber added.He urged the government to adopt an alternative strategy to help stall the fall in living standards faced by many individuals.According to the Office for National Statistics, the consumer price index has risen from 1.5 per cent in October 2009 to the current level of five per cent.Amir HussainAmir specialises in personal loans, consumer debt and debt management.
