Use the services of an electricity supplier? Do you pay your bills every month? Certainly yes. You probably do it automatically. After all, every month we have hundreds of bills lying on the table or in electronic form. We want to pay as quickly as possible and forget that our hard-earned money often disappears from our account - together with the next paid invoice. However, the Consumer Affairs Council recommends increased vigilance. Harsh words have been spoken about electricity suppliers in recent weeks.

  • The service provider itself transfers customers to a "more expensive subscription" without prior notification.
