Mum's \u00a31,000 Energy Bill Horror: Smart Meter Fail?

Unexpected Energy Bill Leaves UK Mother Stressed and in Debt A stay-at-home mother in the UK is facing financial hardship after receiving a shockingly high energy bill from Scottish Power. Liv Poole, a mother of one, shared her ordeal in a recent video, expressing her disbelief and concern. "Honestly, I am stressed," Poole said in her video, "I owe \u00a31,000 to Scottish Power and I don't even know how." Poole explained that she'd been on a smart meter for about a year and assumed the readings would be accurate. She was paying over \u00a3100 a month via direct debit, expecting a small final bill. Instead, she received a bill exceeding \u00a31,000. Poole's story highlights the potential for errors in smart meter systems and the financial vulnerability of many families facing unexpected high energy costs. Scottish Power has been contacted for comment. The company has since offered a payment plan to help resolve the issue.
