    Vile.


    However, hasn't Ofgem proposed FORCING energy companies to provide sensitive details about their customers to competitors if they haven't switched in a few years? Obviously not the same thing, but trying to treat part of this latest wrongdoing as being concerned with sharing customer data is clearly horse manure.

    I doubt they are allowed to provide this data to anyone due to data protection, privacy laws, etc. I love to know how E and EE got around these, or maybe they didn't!
