Boiler protection from just £3.98 per month: Exclusive discount with code 'REGULATORGUY'

I'm looking to hear about your experiences with British Gas force-fitting prepayment meters into your homes, or if you know anyone that this happened to, please ask them to email me about it. 

There was a large story 3-years ago around British Gas agents illegally breaking into the homes of the vulnerable and force-fitting prepayment meters, under the guise of "debt-management". I'm writing up a story and would appreciate some input from first-hand experiences. So if you're happy to have a conversation and have your story published, please email me at Richard@TheRegulatorGuy.co.uk.

Also, side note, I've added a link to a boiler protection company (see above) called Home Emergency Assist. I've worked out a deal with them that you can get a decent discount by using the code "REGULATORGUY". Well worth a look, especially this time of year! 

Thanks all,

Richard Winstone
The Regulator Guy.
