War veteran, 84, in suicide bid after energy firm hounded him for £6,600 that he didn't owe | Mail Online
This story made me so angry. They break into his home, because they think he is in arrears, and install a pay as you go meter without demonstrating how it works to him. Then after 3 cold nights because the power is cut off the poor old boy take 100 tablets to end the misery of his torture.
Only then is an investigation launched which finds:-
He was never in arrears because the original meter was incorrectly wired
The Pay as you go meter was incorrectly installed and didn't work properly.
Yes he tried contacting EON but we all now how much use call centres are.
But for EON to say they had no idea of his age or condition is rubbish. His date of birth is on the form he filled in you jackasses
I wonder had the chap died would there be a case of Corporate manslaughter to answer. Oh I forgot that's like the rear seat belt law....... no case has ever been brought.
