How would you react?

A woman was in shock when she received an energy bill that said she owed nearly £2billion.

Brenda McCossick was told she and her daughter used £1,960,083,072(€2,352,158,488.89) on gas and electricity in two weeks.

The mum of three usually spends around £50(€60) a month for the three-bed detached house where she has lived for 20 years.

But after logging into the Shell Energy app she said:

“I knew the amount was going up given the rise of energy bills but I couldn’t believe it!

“It must be a record for the biggest energy bill ever,”

“I usually turn off the lights when we leave a room and make sure we are as eco-friendly as possible so I knew it couldn’t be right.”

“I was just worried that regardless of it being ridiculous that they’d still try and take as much money out of my account as possible

and leave me with no money.”

Shell Energy have since reduced it to a more manageable £46(€55.20).
