Re: Scottish Power
Seeing as accyman mentioned pre-payment meters can anyone confirm if what I heard is true?
Private landlords tend to have card meters installed in their property for rent and refuse any request to change to a normal meter. I understand that the reason for this totally unreasonable behaviour is that a private landlord is a re-seller of energy and he can set his own tariff on the meter and thus gets a cut of the fees charged to the user. Much like public phones in shops, community centres etc. where the premises owner sets the phone call tariff.
