A Scots social carer has been left skint after EDF Energy withdrew more than £3,000 in one day after he disputed his electricity bill.
Adam McNaughton, from Cumnock, was left with just £5 to survive after the energy company charged him £3,282 last week. The 41-year-old was transferred to EDF in May 2021, when his provider Green Network Energy went bust. He claims an inspector didn't attend his home to obtain an accurate meter reading for a year.
Adam, who lives alone and works away a number of nights per week, says EDF estimated his electricity usage and placed him on a fixed rate tariff of £76 per month. He disputed his tariff estimate as he believed it was too low, and requested an inspector attend his home for a meter reading, but EDF failed to send an inspector until June 2022.
