I am an OAP person, Scottish Power are trying to rip me of for £85.00 a month. Unrealistic increase to monthly agreed DD payment for over 100% of the original contract agreement after only approx. 8 weeks. My actual monthly usage of power for both electricity and gas is realistically established at around £40.00 per month. I am a single person living in a small sheltered housing 1 bed flat . Thanks to Scottish Power I have not been able to afford to use my central heating this winter because the charge works out at around £00. 50 pence per hour for gas to basically heat my very small home.
