Why the standing charge is increasing is beyond me

I heard on the radio yesterday someone saying that some of it is used to fund the cost of customer transfers from all these small providers going pop, the Big Six get peed off with all the admin, so have to get a little £tickle£ for each one they are forced to take on, hence the large increase

Don't know how true it is ?
