(please don’t say go to the CAB, tried that and found them to be of no practical help at all.)
They sent me a bill in March for over £620. I live alone, and despite relying on electric heating, my bill for the winter the previous year was a more reasonable £120.
They installed a pre-payment key meter in May, saying they would deduct £16.40 per week for the contended debt. They only started to collect it a few weeks ago.
Now the meter says I owe the over £1400 – why do Scottish Power think they can steal my money and I just have to accept it? The worst part is, you cannot change supplier if you have a debt to your current one.
Errrrr. I don’t have solicitor money.
Speak to Energywatch (www.energywatch.org.uk) they should be able to advise you what to do and they are really helpful.
