  • Ive just spoken to Scottish Hydro who said it sounds like a sales patter and Ive to call back in a few days to see if a sales been logged and they will stop it
    I also called my supplier and asked them to mark on my account that I dont want to leave/switch supplier so that should be flagged up
    Im just so angry this happened, Im usually so careful with these things.

    We've just had someone at the door who says they are from Scottish Hydro but dont actually work for them, they are contracted by the government to check to see if the energy companies are passing on some sort of discount, (something to do with them all being overseas now and the tax payments) and to see if we qualify for a discount, if we do what will happen is we will stay with our current supplier but Scottish Hydro will top us up.

    I was in a rush so didnt have time to speak to him fully about it all and he is coming back tomorrow. I see what he is saying but Im kinda confused about it all. Has anyone else had someone like this call?
    I don't advocate violence, but sometimes doorsteppers with this sort of spiel deserve to go away with a broken nose
