An 80-year-old widow has told of her fears of rising energy bills after being sent a £5,000 gas bill. Clarice Brown says she has already had bailiffs at her door over the bill.
And with prices set to rise the grandmother says she struggles to sleep at night as she is so worried, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Clarice, from Gateacre, near Liverpool, lives alone following the death of her husband James Stanley five years ago. Shortly after the 81-year-old died of fibrosis of the lung, Clarice was sent the bill by Scottish Power.
