British Gas is suspending the force-fitting of prepayment meters, the energy provider’s owner Centrica said on Wednesday after a report said its debt-collecting contractor broke into homes of  “vulnerable” customers.

The UK’s energy regulator Ofgem also said on Thursday that it’s launching an “urgent investigation.”
