Series 17: 24. Excluded from cheap energy tariffs because of where I live
The team meets the homeowners who discovered they were the victims of a north-south divide for smart meters, which meant they couldn’t access the best tariffs for charging their new electric vehicles. We reveal the change for energy suppliers that means others shouldn’t be caught out. Also on the programme, the health products making bogus claims, but would the public be tempted to try them out? And experts explain your refund rights when a festival is cancelled.
