Renfrewshire residents struggling to pay their energy bills have been forced into pre-payment meters by British Gas to manage their debt.
British Gas were revealed to have been calling in debt collectors to force-fit the meters following an investigation by The Times.
The move by the energy giant has been branded ‘predatory’ and ‘disgusting’ by Renfrewshire politicians – with many claiming residents have been in touch about pre-payment meters in their own homes.
