I HAVE a friend who is raging at SSE Energy Services. Not big news, I hear you say – the entire country is flaming about their power bills and the energy giants. Indeed they are, but just hear me out.
My friend phoned me because she knows I am chair of the Alba Party and thought we would be interested in her experience and may be able to use it politically. The particular cause of her ire was an email sent to her in the last few days by SSE Energy Services – “part of the OVO family” – telling her that it might jeopardise her “credit rating” if she was late in paying her electricity bill – and demanding that she stump up that very day in response to their inflated demands.
