A Scot was left feeling suicidal and worried he wouldn't survive the winter after a fault with his electricity meter left him hundreds of pounds out of pocket.
The former care worker was worried he wouldn't be able to put credit into his electricity meter when it ran out, due to a fault not registering a £100 top-up on two occasions. “I managed to put on another £100 after that. Then I put another £100 on the key, went to put it in, and it said ‘credit accepted’ but it didn’t actually credit anything to the meter.

However, to Paul's delight, Scottish Power contacted him on Thursday morning with a solution as there had been an issue with the meter being topped up over £250.
