I am among 94 signatories to a letter sent to British Gas to protest about its plans to switch its payment partner from Paypoint - available at 28,000 retailers - to Payzone which only has 13,000 participants.
The letter says: "Ending the Paypoint contract and only having the option of Payzone (as well as a post office) brings significant difficulty for many of our constituents, particularly in rural constituencies."
"We appreciate that having the contract with Payzone - owned by the Post Office - may reduce costs for British Gas, but this should not come at the expense of customers from the most vulnerable sections of our community."
