Anyone seen this? Sue them, judge tells woman who took on might of British Gas. What a story, a brave lady I think good for her.

No wonder our gas is so expensive.

This more than anything else demonstrates that in the British Judicial system only the wealthy can afford justice!

How many of us would risk £70,000 to settle a legitimate grievance against a big firm?

"British Gas denies its actions amounted to harassment. It claims that - because its bills and letters of demand were computer-generated - Mrs Ferguson cannot prove that the company knew she was suffering harassment."

They deserve having their licence revoked for that statement alone. :mad:

This is what happens when private companies are given free reign over an industry supplying a product everybody needs for the sustenance of life. Sponsored incompetence...

I'm assuming this is the very same computer that cost half a billion pounds?

How many of us even have £70,000

I could pay the remainder of my mortgage if I did :eek:

I think the point here is that so long as the status quo continues to go unchallenged, it will continue to be accepted.

I Don't Know If I Would Sue For Harassment But If They Do Not Refund For Overcharging Me For 18 Years (ghost Meter) I Have Every Intention Of Going After Them. Found Out In 2005 & They Finally Admitted It Today But Because Of The Statue Of Limitations Cannot Go Back Beyond Jan 2003 Tghey Must Be Joking
