Scottish Power takes £1,512 from man's bank account by 'mistake'

A dad was forced to cancel his family's first holiday in years after Scottish Power took more than £1,500 out of his bank account.

Abu Meron was left in shock after Scottish Power repeatedly raised the prices of their energy bills, and then took two payments of £756, one in June and another in July. The dad-of-two then had to cancel a family holiday to Paris which would have been the first getaway in years for him and his front line NHS worker wife.

Abu began to investigate and contacted the bank to cancel his direct debits. He then complained to Scottish Power, where he claims he was told to "deal with it".
