A married couple have been left 'living in a fridge' and having to wear their dressing gowns at all times after encountering a problem trying to top up their gas supply. John and Julie Murphy, 63, have not been able to top up their gas like they usually do and are too afraid to put the heating on as they are anxious they will fall into debt.
They have been trying to contact British gas for a week now but keep being 'fobbed' out and left without an explanation, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Julie, who suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is 'vulnerable' to the cold and has been left in tears numerous times over the situation. John explained: "We always use an app on our phone to top up the gas but when I went to do it last week it wouldn't let me, the gas tab had just disappeared off the app.
"I then went to three shops to try and top up with the card and that wouldn't work either. It looks like we have been put onto emergency credit because of this, which they do when your money runs out, but ours hasn't run out - it just won't let us top up."
The couple, from Speke, have been too scared to turn their heating on during this period as they are worried they will run up debts they can't afford. John said: "The meter already says we owe them money, we don't want to be in arrears, in 43 years we have never been in arrears with British Gas."
He added: "We have been living in a fridge, it is freezing in the house. We have been using blankets and wearing our housecoats to try and keep warm.
"Julie has got COPD so she is vulnerable to the cold, it's not good." The couple have also not been able to have their young grandchildren over because of the cold temperature in their home.
