British Gas to Drop £5 Late Payment Fee
British Gas has agreed, after growing pressure, to scrap its controversial £5 late payment fee.
The company, which has lost a million customers over the past year, was attacked by consumer groups for introducing the outrageous charge.
The fee would have applied from March 1st, to customers who pay by cheque or cash and who do not settle their bills within 28 days.
Approximately 6 million British Gas customers pay their bills this way, with the remainder paying by direct debit.
