SSE energy to refund after mis-selling

PA

Utility companies and their former attachment to doorstep selling has never been an entirely comfortable position. Claims of mis-selling and pressure from Ofgem have persuaded most of the big six suppliers to move away from the approach. However, they are still dealing with the fallout.

Scottish and Southern Energy scrapped the practice back in July, but has now announced it will be repaying £5 million to approximately 400,000 customers who were misled into switching.
