A young mum claims she was forced to use her neighbour's electricity after being cut off by Scottish Power, which left her children freezing for more than a week. Caitlin Minshull, 22, alleges the young family were without power from the energy provider for 11 days.
The mother, from Prescot, says she was in her flat with her two children, aged five months and 19 months, when her electricity was cut off earlier this month. She was left baffled by the sudden shut-down of power, as she claims that she recently topped up.
The alleged incident occurred at around 4pm on December 6, reports the Liverpool Echo. Caitlin's sister was in the shower when the outage occurred, leaving the family completely bemused as to what had happened.
