An Edinburgh social care support worker has been left without any electricity for five days as Scottish Power fumble attempts at finding a solution.
Rachel Evans, 37, from Gorgie, says that she has been unable to use electricity in her flat since Tuesday October 25. She says she is angered by the lack of support due to the fact that her bills are rising dramatically and that energy providers are making massive profits.
The care worker believes that the issue has been caused by a faulty meter but she says that she has been let down time and time again by her energy supplier, Scottish Power. Rachel has been unable to speak to someone on the phone to get the issue fixed as a matter of priority and has spent a small fortune on takeouts, laundrettes and cafés in order to be able to eat, wash her clothes and charge her phone.
