“  I signed up at Sam's club. I thought this would be a great deal. Not. My bill was twice the price I was paying. I was told at Sam's club when I signed up that there wasn't an early cancellation fee for Sam's club members. I also called customer service for Just Energy. Customer service also told me that there was no early cancellation fee for Sam's club members. What a lie. I paid my last bill and I paid the $150 they credited me for early termination of my other electric company. I only had 2 days left in my other contract. Lol yes I wasn't thinking in the middle of grocery shopping. So no my early cancellation fee for Just Energy is in collection for a $183. I always pay my bills on time. Why should I pay something I shouldn't had too. ”

“  Smart energy recently called my 75 year-old mother and trick her into joining them. I tried calling several times to have them take my mother off and to no avail my mother received another letter from Smart energy. This company takes advantage of the elderly my mother also has dementia. How dare you guys, prey on the elderly shame on you !!! Im disgusted! Take my mother out of this BS COMPANY!

“  IDT Energy has a policy of deceptive business practices, a.k.a. scams. I was approached today by a very personable young man named Jerome who intimated that he was here to speak with me from PPL in order to clear-up a rate discrepancy in my favor. (I should have known better at once, but alas, he caught me just home from work with five other things on my mind!) At no point did he say he was from IDT Energy, nor that he wanted me to sign a contract with them, and yet that is what he suckered me into doing, unaware and unseen. The whole time he kept talking about PPL, not IDT and he was very careful to make sure I never saw beyond the signature box that he had zoomed-in on to hide the fact that the signature was for a contract, not a confirmation from PPL. It wasn't until he left, and I saw the text message in my inbox with the link to the contract to be signed, that I realized what had happened. IDT Energy are liars, and ought to be shut down. Whatever rates or promises they offer, you should not trust them, because any business that engages in such deception in order to scam a person into becoming an unwitting customer cannot be trusted to behave in a scrupulous manner afterwards. They are a company of scammers, and ought to be shut down. ”

“  My elderly father signed up for IGS Energy as an energy distribution company a year before he passed away. Shortly after he passed, we got telephone calls and mail correspondence asking for him to renew for an additional year. I informed the company that he was deceased and we would be changing the electric utility into my Mother's name. I never got around to changing it. A few months later, I saw some paperwork on my Mom's table. The IGS Energy folks came to my Mother's house and had her sign to not only keep IGS Energy for her electric, but added her gas utility as well. I asked her if she explained that her name wasn't on the utilities and that my Dad had passed away. She said the IGS Energy person was pushy and didn't care. I called the next day and talked to the supervisor of the person who came to the house. I explained that she was in no state to make decisions about utility suppliers and I was the power of attorney. The man told me I could cancel at any time with no cancelation fees. The first few months, the rate was fine, but after a few months, the rates were sky high. I called to cancel, they told me that I had to wait until the contract was up in June, 2024 (8 months longer) or pay a cancelation fee. I waited until this month, June, 2024 and called back to cancel. I was told that I could cancel, but they needed to talk to my Dad. I explained that he was deceased. They told me to send in a copy of the death certificate and my power of attorney to customerservice@IGSEnergy.com, since his name was still on the utility bills. I asked what would happen if an elderly person was asked to do these things and didn't have either the capability or the access to scan and upload documents. The customer service representative replied that in that case, as long as the utility accounts were active, IGS Energy would be their distribution supplier forever. I cancelled my Dad's utility accounts the same day. I should have done it earlier, but I didn't want the hassle. Overall, I guess it was my fault, but IGS Energy is only out to make money by any means necessary. ”
