Hamilton hairdresser feared losing home and business after £72k energy bill

A Hamilton hairdresser feared losing her business and her home after receiving a shock bill from her energy company to the tune of £72,000.

Ann Marie Boyle, who opened Farrell Hair Design in Hamilton in June 2021, had to lay off staff and was living in fear of debt collectors after her energy company, Maxen Power Supply Limited, demanded she paid the bill.

Her direct debit was originally £96 a month but quickly increased to £3000 a month, leaving Ann sick with stress and worry as the energy company refused to provide an itemised bill, reports the Sunday Mail.
