Edinburgh mum threatened with legal action after electricity bill shot up to £2,000

An Edinburgh mum has been threatened with legal action after her electricity bill shot up from around £300 a month to £2,000 leaving her struggling to cope.

Kerry Malcolm, 35, from Northfield, was already on a payment plan with EDF after falling behind with her payments, but was given a whopping £2,151.87 bill and told if she can't pay she will be taken to court.

The single mum-of-four is still paying off debt from Christmas 2021 and says she receives no support from any of her children's dads leaving her alone to juggle all the bills and feeling extremely stressed.
