A guide to some of the options open to you as a consumer if you believe you have been mis-sold to by SSE or any other energy company.

– Adam Scorer, director of policy at Consumer FocusThis is not a case of one bad apple or one rogue sales team. The problems at SSE affected the whole direct selling operation and represent a fundamental failure at one of our biggest energy companies.
Other companies have also broken direct selling.
This has been a stain on the energy market since the introduction of competition. While the situation has got better and many companies have decided to end doorstep sales, the recent history casts a long shadow and Ofgem are right to take this scale if action.
In response to Ofgem's £10.5m fine for mis-selling, energy firm SSE's corporate affairs director Alan Young said the firm was "very sorry" about the breaches of the rules.
He told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme
What we were doing was not adequately telling people about the terms and conditions of their contract or adequately making sure they had the information they needed to switch.
We have set up an independent compliance unit to make sure, to monitor, to audit, to randomly check energy sales across all channels now so customers can have the assurance when they are dealing with us there are safeguards in place and proper structures.
We have totally reformed our business in this area, we have restructured it.
Mr Young also defended the management team still being in place, insisting SSE was one of the "best companies in Britain".
Ofgem's £10.5m fine imposed on SSE is the biggest ever authorities have imposed on an energy supplier.
