Bills, consumers: applause for the parliamentary initiative, urgent extension at the end of the protected market

(Teleborsa) – Consumerism No profit And Adiconsum Sardinia they strongly support the resolution presented by Alberto Luigi Gusmeroli, President of the Productive Activities Commission of the Chamber, and Alberto Bagnai, Vice President of the Finance Commission, to extend the deadline for returning to the protected market to 31 December 2024 and to allow domestic users of the free market to be able to join the Gradual Protection Service until March 31, 2027.

The reference to one is also good capillary information that it reaches all interested consumers, given the absolute failure of the late and ineffective communication campaign which cost Italians 1 million euros for a very banal website and a few television appearances. There are 28 million domestic users who are served in the free market and who on paper would have the right to return to the protected market and then transit to the Gradual Protection Service with rates much more convenient and certain contractual conditions: they don’t know it and at the moment they have not been provided with adequate and effective information to be able to exercise this legitimate right of theirs – recall Consumerismo and Adiconsum Sardegna.

The passage about is also important 15 million of these users served in free energy market who, even if they had the right information, would still not be able to carry out the procedure due to the impossibility of accessing the Internet (due to economic problems, lack of an adequate network or limited IT knowledge), today to carry out the return to protected market it is necessary to be able to access the site of the protected market manager.

To this we add a alarm unfortunately still underestimated: those who are reported to the centers credit risks as bad payers, due to difficulty in paying a loan instalment, they are increasingly rejected by free market energy companies. In the free energy market there is no obligation to contract and companies can choose the customers to contract with in total autonomy. Phenomenon widespread today and potentially explosive.

A topic never addressed so far which adds to the reasons why we support the parliamentary initiative undertaken by the Hon. Gusmeroli and the Hon. Bagnai, which will also serve to better define various critical situations involving certain categories of users – observe the two associations – such as those who from 1 July will activate a new domestic user and who are currently destined to choose, exclusively, a supplier on the free market without the right to access the Gradual Protection Service.
