A Nottinghamshire woman says that an energy company nearly 'sank her business' after they overcharged her by thousands of pounds. Geraldine Murphy, 53, who lives in Sutton in Ashfield, is still fighting to be given more than £3,000 which she says she is owed by Pozitive Energy, a company based in Colchester.
Mrs Murphy runs a holiday lets businesses and Pozitive Energy is the provider of gas and electric at two of her properties in Baslow, Derbyshire. The business was first started in 2007 and Mrs Murphy took on the Baslow flats around two years ago.
She said problems with Pozitive Energy began last June, as Mrs Murphy approached the end of her yearly contract with the company. Mrs Murphy says that she sent an email on June 21 requesting that her contract be renewed for another 12 months.
