Heating Oil Customers Left Out in the Cold: A Symptom of a Broader Problem The UK's Competition Markets Authority (CMA) has acknowledged that heating oil customers were overcharged during recent price hikes.
The regulator's report highlights the need for greater protection for households relying on heating oil, but also raises questions about market dynamics leading to this crisis.
According to the CMA's investigation, 1,700 households were forced to reorder their fuel at significantly higher prices or go without, incurring costs up to £350.
