Customer Reviews
February 8,2023-British Gas Co.
Your Investigative reporting on British Gas Co.’s chilling practices of attaching a“pay as you go” meter regardless of circumstances when homeowners got behind on their gas bill is a Mr. Scrooge heartless action as Energy CO’s are awash in profits.
There needs to be an excess profits tax using those funds to assist homeowners who are in need of help.
