The single mum-of-two says it's been a real struggle.
A Leeds mum says she cannot pay for electricity after bailiffs turned up for a debt that wasn't hers and forced her to have pre-payment meters installed.
Melissa denied this, saying she was upstairs at the time. Melissa says that her old meter was removed and replaced with a pre-payment meter - also known as 'pay as you go meters'. She told LeedsLive: “The bailiffs were here for a debt with a warranty to seize assets but the debt wasn’t mine, I showed them the tenancy agreement, then SSE agreed that if they put in pay-as-you-go meters, they wouldn’t have to 'retrieve assets'.“They came out to take out the pre-payment meters, but then they set up smart meters and I cannot top up my electricity.
