Frankly speaking, the story with these pre-paid meters looks like a real scandal, and it is good that people have started to receive compensation. Of course, £230 will not cover all the problems, but for many families this is at least some support during a difficult period. The very fact that suppliers were forced to admit their mistake and return the money shows that the regulator has finally started to work in the interests of consumers. It is important that consumers retain the right to choose and the opportunity to agree on payments, and not be faced with a fact with debts and restrictions. By the way, this clearly shows how important it is for any system to work transparently and quickly, because delays and unnecessary obstacles only aggravate the crisis. In gambling, the same speed and honesty are valued: I recently read a review on https://pokieslab.co.nz/fast-payout-casinos/ about fast payout, where they also emphasize. Over time, I learned that what is valued there is that the client should receive the result without a long wait and unnecessary red tape. If only similar principles were implemented in the energy sector - less bureaucracy, more attention to people, then there would be fewer scandals like this.
It’s just a shame that some companies are still trying to force people to buy such meters through the courts, even in winter, when the heating situation is already difficult.
