wolfie Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Nearly two million people are being given a refund by the energy company npower after it admitted charging them wrongly from May to November 2007. The average payment will be around ?35 ? though some people will get as much as ?100. The total cost to npower will be around ?70 million. Consumer Focus, which used its legal powers to force npower to agree to this deal, is one of the public bodies the Government has decided to scrap.

asperity Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I collected my ?32.37 from the Post Office this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Damn we're with British Gas Should the Government be allowed to scrap the services of public bodies such as Consumer Focus who are there to safequard the public though. Without their intervention errors like this may well go un-noticed in the future and the energy providors will get to keep their ill gotten gains. ?70 million is a lot of money... but of course the government will get a portion of that in tax payments ... is that why they want to scrap them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Kije Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Sounds like the government don't mind the power companies ripping us off, as a customer would you be entitled to legal aid now to pursue the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Nope, they set up OFgen to regulate this smoke and mirror attempt at competitition. A complete failiure according to TV progs, as we should have had a 36% drop in prices over the previous period. btw it's the same gas that goes through the pipe, irrespective of which company your with! !

Lt Kije Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I don't think Baz is wrong on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Listened to the CEO of OfGEN on the news; and basically - the Energy Cartel can charge what they like over the Winter, and customers won't be getting any money back - what a waste of space.
