The vast majority of Britons would welcome compensation from a payment protection insurance (PPI) mis-selling case, as concerns about the size of winter bills begin to mount. According to uSwitch.com, 85 per cent of consumers are worried about their heating expenses for the winter quarter, even though temperatures have been milder than in previous years until this week's cold snap. The comparison website revealed that eight in ten people have scaled down the amount of energy they use in order to reduce their outgoings. Nearly three-quarters of the respondents said the reason behind their decision to turn down their central heating was solely financial. "If Britain isn't to carry on freezing we need a helping hand and I would now urge the government to look at making our gas and electricity exempt from VAT," commented the website's director of consumer policy Ann Robinson. Nationwide recently revealed that consumer confidence is near rock bottom throughout the UK, as many people have been hit hard by the rising cost of living.
