BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Forced prepayment meters; World Book Day; Bike-hire scam

Are energy firms heeding Ofgem's call to compensate people who had meters forced on them?

What it is like to have a prepayment meter forcibly installed. Also the bike-hire fraud that cost its victim hundreds of pounds.

We hear what it's like to have a prepayment meter forcibly installed in your home - and ask whether energy companies are heeding Ofgem's call to compensate some customers who shouldn't have had them put in?

Also on the programme, we speak to a man who tried to hire a bike in London and ended up having his bank account drained by fraudsters; investigate what's been replacing Top Shop on Britain's high streets - and ask whether World Book Day is a joyous celebration of reading or an annual headache for parents.

PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON
PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
