A Scot was left having to borrow money to pay for his bills after being left without electricity or heating in one of the coldest weeks of the year, while waiting for three overdue energy bill support grant payouts.
Retail worker Sean Quinn should have so far received £199 in UK Government vouchers as part of the scheme to help people with the crippling costs of electricity and gas this winter.
However the 54-year-old, from Motherwell, has yet to receive a single penny in the last three three months, and has hit out at the 'incompetency' of Scottish Power after spending hours trying to contact them for help.
