A JUDGE has granted Scottish Power warrants to enter homes to forcibly fit prepayment meters after they were temporarily banned following a scandal around the practice.
Among the cases heard by the court on Thursday were several involving multiple attempts by Scottish Power to contact the holders of accounts with outstanding amounts of thousands of pounds. It also announced a ban on energy suppliers forcibly installing prepayment meters for people over 75 years old with no support in their house and in homes with children under the age of two.
Under the new rules, which come into effect on November 8, suppliers must ensure they are acting in a fair and responsible way with involuntary installations used only as a last resort. “We are aware that courts are running pilot schemes to test the application process for warrants, however our expectation of suppliers is clear.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
