Completed petition The Senedd should scrutinise the prepayment meter scandal in Wales
We call on the Senedd to undertake an inquiry into the prepayment meter scandal.
Over the last two months evidence has emerged that thousands of people have been switched to prepay meters without the required checks as to whether they are vulnerable.
We at Climate Cymru and other campaigners have been exposing this scandal.
