About this listen

 In this episode of Quality of Life Quest, Anneke passionately shares her ongoing battle against the bureaucratic challenges posed by Scottish Power, her energy supplier. With a strong disdain for bullies and injustice, she recounts her frustrating journey since moving into her home in April 2022, where her attempts to open an account have been met with resistance and delays. Anneke details her efforts to obtain her personal data through a Subject Access Request (SAR), emphasizing her preference for receiving this information on paper rather than through overwhelming digital links. Throughout the episode, she reflects on the emotional toll of her struggles, including a four-month absence from work due to the stress of dealing with multiple bureaucratic issues.

BEST MOMENTS "I hate bullies. I hate bullies. And injustice is just a big no." "For me, the clumping together is admin stuff and bureaucratic organizations and companies that are literally taking the piss." "I thought it would be resolved in no time flat, that if I would give the proper answers that, you know, it would be resolved. No normal business can operate like this." "If I can contribute just a tiny bit so that other people feel empowered to do something similar, or maybe that it changes the playing field, anything at all, that would be worth it." "You're not alone. There are thousands and thousands and thousands of people in a similar situation."
