A David and Goliath cunting for big business, Scottish Power.
John had a new heating system installed that was supposed to be more energy efficient, so the 77 year old was somewhat shocked when his bill increased form £70/80 to £260 even though his usage was the same.
He complained and was ignored, he voiced concerns that the meter was faulty, and was ignored.
So he went to the Ombudsman, with the help of a neighbour. A Scottish Power representative visited, and what do you know?
John’s old meters weren’t compatible with the new heating system, smart meters have been installed, and everything in the garden is lovely..
Except it wasn’t and this is where the counting comes in.
The Ombudsman ordered Scottish Power to pay John £400 compensation and refund £2.5k overpayment. The despicable cunts appealed, but hurrah for John, the appeal has been dismissed.
