Police are investigating a number of cases where £600 energy vouchers have been 'illegally redeemed' in Northern Ireland
Police are investigating a number of cases where £600 energy vouchers have been "illegally redeemed" in Northern Ireland.
Tony, a Power NI customer from South Belfast, said that he had been tracking the location of his voucher while he was on holiday to see when it would arrive, and was shocked to check the website and see that his voucher had already been redeemed without his knowledge. "I am not sure how someone has been able to do this, because you are supposed to provide correct identification when redeeming it and the person who has done so shouldn't have been able to say that the voucher was theirs.
Spokesperson for Power NI said: “NI electricity suppliers have been engaging with customers to make sure that those eligible for EBSS AFP NI do receive their £600 payment. In some cases, this has involved working with BEIS, the Post Office and if necessary, the PSNI. In a number of cases, these have been able to be resolved and others are still under investigation.
