No consumer should be forced into having a pre-pay energy meter, says Dean Dunham deandunham
As energy firms announce bumper profits during the energy cost crisis a more shady side of the industry has started to emerge where providers force or trick consumers into having a pre-paid meter and then use this as a mechanism to ensure past debts are paid and future supplies are paid in advance at a higher rate.Over the past few months lots of those questions have involved issues with energy providers and I’ve heard countless horror stories about pre pay meters.
The business secretary, Grant Shapps, has written to suppliers demanding they stop forcibly moving households on to more expensive pre-paid energy tariffs. This is a step in the right direction but is not enough. Instead this barbaric approach adopted by energy providers must be stopped.
