E.ON to pay £12m over mis-selling

%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%Energy supplier E.ON is to pay a record £12 million to vulnerable customers after an investigation found it broke energy sales rules over a three-year period.

Regulator Ofgem said the redress package reflects the harm caused by E.ON's extensive poor sales practices between June 2010 and December 2013. Given the large number of contracts signed in this period Ofgem said it was likely a large number of customers were mis-sold to by E.ON.
