Net Metering 50 kw of theft by Verdeenergyusa

(3 / 5)

  You advertise net metering but do run around as you state to extent you provide it. Which is none . You claim that my utility sets it up but they say PPL that you must do the set up docs required and they send all net metering info. to you.

Doubles and Up again

(2.6 / 5)

  Watch out for this company. As soon as your promo rate expires BAM they cut deep to get as much meat as they legally can. My rate DOUBLED and within 30 days it went up even more. I switched as fast as I can to lock in a 18 month rate under 7 cents. These good folks were going to charge upwards of 14.

Did not even know

(1.8 / 5)

  Apparently I started this service April of 2019 only to be screwed over after June 2019. I have been charged upwards of $130 a month. This company is useless what is it you do. Why screw the little guy over, it's a Pandemic!? Furious I wish I could give negatives

Plus note customer service was very helpful considering I was irate that was 10star customer service. The company could learn from them.

Scammy Communication

(1.8 / 5)

  The contract for my energy account expired and my account converted to month-to-month. Fine. I understand. Verde Energy sent me a notice that my variable rate was increasing. Again fine. However, the letter says "Effective no sooner than 30 days from the date of this letter." The letter was dated July 8. The envelope was dated July 8 - not by the USPS, but rather from their own Pitney Bowes postage meter. .043 - first class mail. I received the letter August 6. It's obvious that the company created the letter, "postmarked the envelope," and then purposefully delayed mailing it until the last possible moment where it would arrive just one business day before the rate increase. Also, nowhere in the letter, signature, letterhead, etc., is the phone number printed. NOWHERE. They deliberately delayed notification and excluded the phone number to make it difficult to contact them in a timely manner. Super scam-y. I cancelled my service and will discourage anyone from using their services.

Liars

(1.8 / 5)

  They came to my door, said nothing would change at all. No more money I'd have to pay, nothing. Turns out they lied, my bill was DOUBLED. Everything the guy said at my door was a lie. They aren't technically scammers, but when you lie about something to get them to switch, that's a scam in my book.

Deception

(1.8 / 5)

  A salesperson from Verde Energy called me to offer me what was suppose to be a cheaper rate on my electric and gas rates. As it turned out the the rates Verde Energy were charging me were 40% more than my current rates. I was taken advantage of by a dishonest salesperson. If you are considering switching over to Verde, please verify your current rates and the the rate Verde is offering and do the calculations yourself before switching over to Verde.

Makes your bill higher

(1.8 / 5)

  I signed up thinking I would save money, but my energy bill almost doubled with the first bill I recieved. My supplier charge alone was more than my bill for electricity! I was very unhappy with their services and when I tried to cancel, it took three months to remove them! I was not happy.

$50.00 FINE TO CHANGE RATE WITHIN ONE YEAR

(1.4 / 5)

  I have been a customer for years. I call every few months to see what the current rates are. I have never had a problem changing the rate per kilowatt hour if the rate was more favorable. Today I called to check on the latest rate. I was told that I would be charged a $50.00 fee if I changed because I changed in September 2019. I have never been charged anything for changing at any time, even within the year. I have searched all the literature, and I cannot find a word about this. At a time people are out of work because of the corona virus, Verde is conning its customers.

Verde Slammed me and grossly over charged me

(1.2 / 5)

  I never authorized Verde Energy to be my gas supplier. They doubled my rates, without me knowing and Im out about $450.00. They sent me a $25 gift card. Are you serious? 2 days after discovering this, the Philadelphia Inquirer ran a story how PA is fining them nearly 9 million dollars.

Bate and Switch Pricing

(1 / 5)

  I had a six-month contract with them. I received a couple of letters and a call letting me know my renewal time was coming up. I renewed before my contract expired except they did not honor the price of the new contract. Instead, they increased the amount by almost 300%. When I reached out to customer service, I spoke to four people who all told me there was nothing they could do about it besides send me a $50 gift card and sign me up for a new rate that was even more expensive than the rate on the new contract they claimed they couldn't see. However, the price they overcharged me was almost $200. So, they would still be overcharging me! DO NOT choose this provider. They are sketchy and don't stand by what they advertise.

This company doesnt understand Customer Service

(1 / 5)

  I signed a 1 year deal with Verde because I wanted to take a chance on a new affordable company. My policy ended in January 2023. Their renewal tripled so I was prepared to move back to DLC but I had a Stroke a was hospitalized. This caused me to miss the deadline thus they automatically renewed me. I was charged so much. I called and switched now and put an appeal in the adjust those funds. WS denied twice without reason. If there was ever a reason to approve an appeal, I feel like an inability due to medical condition is one of them. Will never recommend this company to anyone.

Verde is not a company to do business with

Canceled almost immediately

(1 / 5)

  Asked specifically if there were additional charges on top of what I would normally pay to PPL, they said no. Then got the agreement and it stated on top of what PPL charges, there would be an additional delivery fee. That would've taken me above my normal electric bill which is ridiculous.
