Energy supplier SSE has announced plans to compensate customers who were victims of door-to-door contract mis-selling. Around 400,000 customers will be contacted by the firm, which trades as Southern Electric, Swalec and Scottish Hydro, in January. Refunds will be offered to those who lost money because they were encouraged to switch to SSE from another supplier on the basis of inaccurate information. Those who were mis-sold products between October 2009 and this summer could be eligible to receive payouts from the company. According to SSE, £5 million has been put aside to meet the costs of the compensation payouts.

KNOCK knock... who's there? No one... HURRAH!

New rules mean many door-to-door salespeople must obey "No Cold Callers" signs.

NEW "NO COLD CALLERS" RULE

After pressure from Consumer Focus & Trading Standards, the big six energy companies agreed that their sales people would not knock on doors with 'no cold caller' signs

On 1 Oct this officially became part of the EnergySure Code of Practice, though the policy was already active, with this new term:

7.4.3 (b) not call on any premises where there is a message prominently displayed in the form of a visible, clearly worded and unambiguous notice indicating that a consumer does not wish to receive uninvited doorstep sales callers.
