A woman has hit out at her energy provider for sending her a "joke" cheque - for just one pence.
Sharon Patrick, 47, says she was given the cash by E.ON as a 'reward' for being a prepayment customer. But she says she felt insulted when she saw the tiny amount - especially amid the current energy crisis.
The company apologised and said the cheque should not have been sent out in the first place. Sharon, a chef from Rochester, Kent, said: "When I opened the cheque and saw how much it was for, I thought it was laughable and insulting at the same time."
