      Not sure why you would send me another bill and taking funds out of my account. I am not enrolled in the pre authorized payment program any longer as of back in February. Now you are sending me a second bill for the
      unit ******** **** ****** *. This is not my account. This is the second bill of this being sent to me. The first one
      was for the amount of $314.28, to which you have withdrawn from my bank account on June 16 2025.

      My account is ***********. I am not one bit impressed with your billing practices as I am catching many errors over the course of my time here. I am not going to have you credit my account for the amount of $314.28. I will be excpecting a transfer of funds back to its original destination. I do not know why you even made this happen considering I was informed that I was off the pre-payment plan. And told by one of the customer service representatives. ** *** ** * ** ********* **** ***** ** ** ******* ***********.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      I would also like to note that my credentials should not have been used for a new account to which I did not give authorization for preauthorized payment.

      I have recieved money back. This should never of happened, Why are they continously having errors?

      I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding my hot water bills for the months of March and April, which are significantly higher than my actual usage. Upon noticing the unusually high charges, I promptly contacted my building maintenance team to investigate any potential water leakage. They have since confirmed that there are no leaks on the premises.

      Subsequently, I filed a complaint with Wyse Meter Solutions several weeks ago. However, despite the time that has passed, I have not received any resolution or meaningful response from their team.

      Additionally, I have recently compared the current hot water meter reading with the billed usage, and there is a clear mismatch—my actual consumption is considerably lower than what has been billed. The readings shown on the invoice appear to be highly inflated and do not reflect my real usage patterns.

      Given the lack of resolution from Wyse Meter Solutions and the ongoing discrepancies, I am seeking assistance through your forum to ensure this matter is properly investigated and rectified.

      Date: 03/06/2025

      We appreciate the customer bringing their concerns to our attention and apologize for the delay in resolving the matter. Upon receiving the complaint, we requested photos of the water meter reading to assist in our review. Based on the information provided, we have scheduled a technician visit to further investigate the reported discrepancy. We will follow up with the customer after the inspection is complete and remain committed to ensuring accurate billing and a fair resolution.

      I am rejecting this response because: The had scheduled the technician visit for today but no one has come to check the water meter, I waited all morning and even called them to ask the status of it. The customer care rep also didnt have any information on whether the technician is still going to make it or not. It is kind of disappointing because i had taken a leave from my work to stay at home and now I have lost money on that too.

      And only after they examine the water meter only we can know if they are going to correct the bill or not.



      Sincerely,

      We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the missed connection during the scheduled site visit. While our technician was onsite as planned, it appears we unfortunately missed the customer. During the visit, we identified an issue with the water meter, and as a result, all previously issued bills have been cancelled and reissued to ensure billing accuracy. A revised bill has been issued, reflecting corrected meter readings and service periods. The customer’s account is now in a credit status, and a full update has been sent directly by email. We appreciate the customer’s patience and sincerely regret the disruption caused.

      On May 4th 2025 I used Wyse' online customer portal to submit a bill payment for $568.27. I had to pay an additional $13 for "processing" which by itself is stupid enough- but I digress. I submit the payment, and move on to paying other bills as usual. The next day I notice my bank account is surprisingly low- because Wyse double charged me. So instead of our (whopping) $568 bill, we are now out almost $1200. Of course they close at 6 and I see this at 6:30 so I call the next morning only to be given the runaround, told to call my bank to ask for a stop payment. I call the bank who tells me that it is really strange that they said that to me, because a stop payment doesn't work here. The money is already in Wyse' account. Bank tells me to call Wyse back. I call Wyse back and escalate to a supervisor because no one gives a damn to help you. The supervisor gives me the exact same runaround- the "best" they can do is either wait 6-8 WEEKS for a cheque in the mail or maybe they can get an E-Transfer after 7-8 business days. Are you joking? My apartment is a shoebox, but we pay almost $200/month in utilities. 80% of the bill is just ***** fees on fees. I know Wyse is overcharging and is currently being investigated for it's practices (and is appealing it so they can continue to be ******) but why should I pay $13 for processing when you clearly don't process? I am going to lose my apartment because of this, and no one cares. I need my refund NOW, not in 6-8 weeks!! If I can pay you in 5 minutes, you can pay me in a day or two. This is totally unacceptable for the shockingly high cost. I am disgusted with how much apathy they show when talking to them especially when THEIR mistake may very well cost me my home. I have no choice to switch providers because my landlord requires us to use Wyse (**** ****** *** * ********) so I am stuck with this awful company.

      We appreciate the customer bringing this matter to our attention and apologize for the frustration caused by the duplicate payment.  As soon as the issue was identified on May 6, 2025, the duplicate charge was reversed, and a confirmation email was sent to the customer. Additionally, an on-bill credit of $13 has been applied to cover the processing fee associated with the duplicate transaction. We regret any inconvenience this situation has caused and remain available should the customer require further assistance.

      I moved last December. A month before I moved I contacted Wyse meter to have them terminate my service for the end of December. They responded by replying to inform me that it could take 2 months for them to process my termination of service. It's been more then 5 months, going on 6 months now (I filled their termination notice forms back in November of last year (2024), here we are in April and they still have not processed my refund. I supplied them with my new mailing address 5 or 6 times. I have not received anything, except maybe lot's of emails telling me to be patient, it does not take 6 months to process a termination of service. Where is my money? I want interest on the amount owing.

      We appreciate the customer bringing their concerns to our attention and apologize for the delay in processing their refund. The account was finalized in January 2025, and a refund is now ready to be issued. To help expedite the process, we have attempted to contact the customer multiple times to confirm whether they would prefer the refund to be sent via electronic funds transfer (EFT) instead of by mail. We have not yet received a response. We remain ready to issue the refund promptly once we confirm the customer’s preferred refund method. We thank them for their continued patience and welcome the opportunity to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

      I am seeking your support to resolve a matter of unfair billing practices and lack of disclosure by Wyse Meter Solutions Inc. that because of their actions, compromises an already vulnerable situation with regards to my living situation.

      Complaint Details

      I moved into my apartment at * ***** **** ********* *******, in February 2023 and signed up for Wyse Meter Solutions at that time. I live in affordable housing and am on Long Term Disability. In November 2024, I received an email from Wyse Meter Solutions notifying me that "Thermal Billing" charges would be added to my bill starting December 2024 due to the completion of commissioning processes for their meters. These charges were never disclosed to me when I signed up for their services in February 2023 almost two years ago.

      The email acknowledged the unexpected nature of these charges by stating, “We understand that unexpected charges may be challenging so please reach out to our Contact Centre to discuss payment options available to you, including monthly installment plans.” This admission highlights that Wyse acted in bad faith by failing to disclose these charges upfront.

      Since these charges were implemented, my monthly bill has tripled, which is disproportionate for a small 700-square-foot apartment where I maintain a temperature of 21°C during the winter months. Despite this, my apartment remains cold, and I cannot understand how such high charges are justified.

      These new Thermal Charges billed to me from Dec 1 to January 31, 2025, amounts to $328.29.

      Impact on Me

      Due to the sudden increase in costs, I have fallen into arrears on my hydro bill, which was previously covered through the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP). I am now at risk of losing power because of these new charges. On March 28, 2025, when I contacted Wyse Meter Solutions about this issue, their operator implied that my power could be disconnected if these thermal charges remain unpaid.

      Business Response

      Date: 10/04/2025

      We appreciate the customer sharing their concerns and understand the impact that changes to billing can have, particularly for individuals facing financial hardship. Thermal billing was introduced beginning with service from December 4, 2024. This change was made to more accurately reflect the building’s utility costs. Prior to that time, thermal charges were not being billed to residents. An email notice was sent to residents in November 2024 informing them of this change in advance. We recognize that this adjustment may have caused unexpected financial strain. To support customers during this transition, we offer flexible payment arrangements with no down payment required, as well as support applying to financial assistance programs. We would also like to clarify that disconnection is only applicable to unpaid electricity charges. Thermal charges do not result in disconnection. Our team is available to help ensure continued service by working with customers on a plan that fits their circumstances. We remain committed to assisting the customer and welcome the opportunity to discuss next steps directly.

      I had moved into * ******** ***** on January 15, 2025 and my building management had done up my application to Wyse on that day. I was told that it would take 6 - 8 weeks to get my bill. This is now 10 weeks and still no first bill. I have written multiple e-mails but no resolution.

      I had called in to Wyse and get the feeling that their employees work from home. The phone was answered by a young man who appeared to be either under the influence of drugs and was completely useless and wouldn't help me. I finally hung up.

      I spoke with another young lady who contacted her supervisor and she told me that my application was only processed a month later. Why was it done late when my building management put it through in time? Why was it not done when it was supposed to? I had told them that I don't want a big astronomical bill of 4 months and not be able to pay it. I have just left the shelter system and just moved into this apartment. I expected to get my bill in time.

      I received an e-mail a few days ago stating that the bill will be done in a few days but still haven't gotten it.

      I have serious reservations about this company and how they bill for electricity. Too many people are complaining about the same issues. It should be looked into.

      I, for one haven't even used my stove yet (although it is plugged in) and only got my TV in March. So I don't want a monthly bill of $200.

      What I want to see happen and happen NOW is for them to give me my first bill immediately.

      Their billing method according to other people are not transparent and have very high delivery charges that are higher than their actual billing charges, This should be investigated because I do not want a bill of $300 - $400 a month.

      Right now I want my bill and moving forward I want it ON TIME every month and accurately done.

      We appreciate the customer bringing their concerns to our attention and sincerely apologize for the delay in issuing their first bill. We can confirm that the customer’s first bill is scheduled to be issued shortly and will cover usage from the start of service on January 15, 2025, through to the end of the current billing cycle. We recognize that receiving a bill covering multiple months can be concerning, and we have offered a flexible payment arrangement to help make this balance more manageable. There is no down payment required, and we are available to support the customer through this process.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      I did hear from them but still have not received my bill. It was supposed to have been paid by pre-authorized payments but because they charge me a security deposit I cannot yet cancel my pre-authorized payments yet. If the attempt to charge my account it will NSF.

      They did say about payment arrangements but did not go into details as to how this will look.

      Please be advised that I have just left the shelter system after two and a half years and did not want to have to owe hundreds to a hydro company. I am also a pensioner on a fixed income. This was totally their fault! My building management did the paperwork on time. As a show of good measure I would like them to waive my security deposit.  I need to see my bill and I want them to remove me off of Pre-authorized payments right away.  Once I receive my bill they will have to wait until I can pay the whole amount off and do it in manageable payments to what I can afford

      We appreciate the customer’s continued communication and thank her for working with us to resolve this matter. We’ve confirmed that the customer’s Pre-Authorized Payments have been cancelled at her request, and her security deposit has been waived as a courtesy in recognition of the delay and her circumstances. We have also confirmed that she has applied for the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP), which will provide monthly bill credits going forward.
      The customer has indicated she will contact us once her first bill is issued, and we remain committed to working with her on a flexible payment arrangement that fits her needs. At this time, we consider the matter resolved and appreciate the opportunity to assist.

      Customer Answer

      Wyse Meter Solutions had agreed to waive my security deposit and my Pre-authorized payment but I still to date have not received my bill.

      Please understand that I had finally received housing after being in a homeless shelter for 3 years. I am on fixed income, I am a pensioner. I did not expect to now have this heavy debt on me for electricity. To get a big bill of who knows how much they will charge me is not what I had wanted for my first bill. I may not even be able to make the minimum and I am afraid that they will disconnect me.

      I understood when they said it would take 6 - 8 weeks but this is way over 6 - 8 weeks! Not only that, but my building management filled out the application to Wyse on January 15. I then found out that my application was not done for a whole month!

      All I want right now is my bill. We are soon entering May!

      Sorry for the rant but this is ridiculous!I have never heard about this company before and I understand that there has been numerous complaints about their astronomical surcharge to deliver electricity (sometimes more than the actual rate). Why has this never been addressed and looked into? **** ** **** *** ****** ********* ** ****** ** ****** ********

      We have looked into this matter closely and we confirmed that the delay in issuing the customer’s first bill is due to a communication issue with the meter in the building. We have spoken with the customer directly and confirmed via email that, once billing begins, the first bill will only reflect one month of usage, and Wyse will cover all earlier months. The customer will not be back billed for any missed periods. We understand the importance of providing timely and clear information and are committed to ensuring the customer’s billing experience remains accurate and fair. We remain available to support the customer and appreciate their patience as this matter is resolved.

      Wyse Meter Solution takes care of the water & electricity billing of student apartment "*******" in Ottawa where my child resides. Wyse overcharged our water bill for the months of May, June & July 2024 (total $73.38). I know they overcharge because there was no one in the unit for the months of May, June & July 2024, yet they use April water usage to "guestimate" May, June & July usage without really reading the meter. Had they really sent someone to read the meter, they would have noticed no water was used. The minimal electricity usage for these 3 months proves that the unit was vacant during this period.

      Since June, we sent them 4 emails, talked to customer service twice to complain about the situation but nothing was done. I talked to a customer service rep first on Aug 22nd 2024 at 4pm, Cherly said she would contact their billing department and get back to me in 2 weeks. Two weeks passed, I called customer service a second time on Sept 30th 2024 at 11:37am, Kiran then said it took 6 weeks for investigation. Now is Nov 13th and I still hear nothing from them. I told Kiran on Sept 30th that since they owe me $73.38, I would not be paying the Aug 2024 bill of $26.51 and I am expecting a credit from Wyse Meter. Today I receive their Sept 2024 bill, they have the audacity to charge me late payment charges on the $26.51. I do not understand their logic - they owe me $73.38 since June 2024 and drag on for more than 5 months, they should be the one giving me interest on the money they owe me, yet they charge me interest on late payment!

      ******* is a student apartment building, I highly doubt my child's unit is the only one that has water meter reading mistake, I suspect this is only the tip of the iceberg. Is this how big corporation cheat on our students? Wyse Meter needs to refund my $73.38 overpayment and reverse the late payment charges of $0.39. I trust your office would uphold justice in this case. Thank You.

      Business Response

      Date: 02/12/2024

      We thank the customer for bringing this to our attention. The customer's account was temporarily estimated, resulting in overbilling, which we have since corrected by zeroing out the estimated usage monthly until it balances with actual consumption. We have waived any fees incurred due to the higher-than-typical bill, apologized to the customer for the confusion, and explained the resolution in detail via email. We remain committed to assisting them with any further questions or concerns.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      (1) Unable to explain overbilling reason - They just repeat the same reason that they gave us when we contacted them via 5 emails and 3 calls  (they did an estimate when they did not have real reading).  They have not explained why they could not have real readings for the months of May - Aug 2024. Is it because the meter malfunction?  Has someone being sent to fix / replace it?  Or is it human reading error?  How do I know they will not continue to estimate going forward?

      (2) Unreasonable investigation time - They say they will provide an explanation once the investigation is complete.  They have been investigating since June and still no answer up to this date (mid Dec).  The amount of time they take to investigate a meter reading / overbill issue is highly unreasonable.  How do I know if the investigation will not continue for another 6 months, or after we move out?

      (3) Non-transparent resolution - Their resolution to zero out Sept and Oct 2024 water usage as part of the reconciliation process is a band-aid solution.   I am not able to tell when the 3 months' overbilled amount is recovered.  To me, the most direct solution is to show in the bill (a) what is the real meter reading as of Nov 30th or whatever date so I know how many gallons I am being overcharged, and (b) credit back my account with the 3 months' overbilled amount of $73.68.   

      (4) Overbilling related charges -  In their reply to your office, they mentioned they reversed any charges related to overbilling.  That is not 100% truthful.  They charged me late payment charge when I refuse to pay the Sept 19th invoice (for the month of Aug) on the Nov 8th invoice (for the month of Sept).  It is only when I called customer service on Nov 14th to complain that Ebi, the customer service rep, reversed the late payment charge.  Why did they make late payment charge when they are at fault in the first place?  Will they reverse it if I did not make a complain call?

      (5) In their email to us, they told us to have the property manager to reach out to them should we think further correction is required.  Wyse overbill us, they should rectify the mistake, what has that to do with the building's property manager?  In fact, Mr. ***** *******'s Leasing Manager, did email Wyse asking how they charge tenants in the summer months as he is concerned that Wyse does estimates for all tenants who take summer vacation.  I was copied on the email from Mr. **** to Wyse, has Wyse replied Mr. ****'s query?

      It seems to me that Wyse has no idea what is wrong with the water meter (did it break down?), how to fix it and when it will be fixed. Their resolution to zero out Sept & Oct water bill is not able to (1) let me know when the overcharged amount of $73.68 is recovered, and (2) reassure me that the same mistake will not carry on.

      We appreciate the customer’s continued feedback and regret any frustration caused by this situation. The overbilling resulted from a modem issue that has since been resolved, and all necessary corrections, including reversing charges and providing credits, have been applied. While the investigation took longer than anticipated, we have provided a detailed explanation of the adjustments and meter readings and are confident the issue has been rectified. We remain available to address any additional questions or concerns the customer may have.

      On June 17, 2024, I received an e-bill from WYSE Meter Solutions for $128.46 for thermal/cooling that was more than three times my average monthly charges for the past four years. I thought the charges unusually high but the amount was automatically withdrawn from my checking account and I did not dispute the charges. On July 18, 2024, I received an e-bill from WYSE for $115.32 for thermal/cooling. I phoned customer care, 1 ***** ******** on July 18 (****** ** **** ***** **** ********) to ask why my bill was so high as heat is turned off in my building and I seldom, if ever, use air conditioning during the summer months. I often feel cold due to my circulatory issues and air conditioning exacerbates this. I related all this to the customer care representative and she said that a billing investigation would be opened. In the meantime, I agreed to pay $55.00 which is an approximate average monthly amount I have been billed by WYSE for over the last four years. On
      August 19, 2024, I received an email from WYSE Customer Care cancelling the bill and apologizing for any inconvenience (**** ** ***** ********).

      On September 21, 2024, I received an e-bill for $153.12 and an account balance of $98.12. I phoned WYSE Customer Care on October 1 and asked why I was being charged three times what I normally pay per month since there is no heat in my apartment and I did not use air conditioning. Customer Care said that a billing investigation would be opened and I agreed to pay $50 by the October 14
      payment due date. On October 1 around 6PM, I went to the office of the property development representative in my building to ask if the heat had been turned the building. She told me that it was not and that the heat would be turned on the following week. I documented this in an email to myself *** **** ******** * ***** 

      On October 6, I received an email from WYSE stating that the thermal service fee was correct (***** ********).

      We thank the customer for bringing this to our attention. We are arranging a meter visit to verify the meter and thoroughly investigate his concerns. Once the assessment is complete, we will work with the customer to address any outstanding issues.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 19/11/2024

      To date, I have not been contacted by Wyse Meter Solutions Inc. regarding the results of their meter visit. Again, Wyse’s explanation for why my bill issued on SEPT. 19, 2024 was so high (the thermal fee was for three months), does not account for why my bill issued on JUNE 14, 2024 was $128.46 (paid in full) and my bill issued on JULY 15, 2024 was 115.32 ($55.00 partial payment). 
      The JUNE and JULY thermal fees are three times the average monthly charges I have been billed by Wyse.

      We are scheduling a follow up visit to investigate the meters. We have informed the customer that we are waiting on a scheduled date and will confirm once it's provided. This visit will determine any issue with his billing and if found, we will cancel and reissue the bills.

      I am unhappy with the time it is taking Wyse Meter Solutions to send someone from their Operations team to inspect the meters and resolve this issue. 
      Wyse Customer Support informed me by email on November 19 that they were working to prioritize this matter but it doesn’t seem like it. As of this email, I have not received an update.

      Business Response

      Date: 20/12/2024

      We sincerely apologize for the delays in resolving this matter and appreciate the customer's patience as we have worked to address their concerns. We understand their frustration and have scheduled a meter verification visit for January 9, 2025. We have informed the customer of this date and are committed to thoroughly investigating the issue and making any necessary corrections. We value the opportunity to resolve this matter and will ensure the customer is updated promptly.

      I am replying BBB’s email to me on December 24, 2024 and  Wyse Meter Solutions Inc.’s recent response. Their response was satisfactory but I am unavailable on the date they gave for a technician to come and inspect my personal meter. I have informed their customer support specialist of this and they said they would notify their Operations Team and provide me with a new date.Sincerely,****

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      The company sent two technicians to inspect the meter in my apartment on Thursday, January 23. The lead technician (the technician who inspected the meter) informed that a component (aerator) was damaged and was affecting my usage and needed to be repaired. Said that he would file a report with company. To date, I have not heard from company acknowledging receipt of report and when they will be sending a technician to repair the meter. I am being billed for usage that is inaccurate and this is totally unacceptable!

      Sincerely,

      We appreciate the customer’s patience while we completed the meter inspection. Our technician confirmed that the meter is functioning normally and accurately recording consumption. However, the inspection identified an issue with the cooling equipment in the customer’s unit that may have contributed to the higher-than-expected usage. As the equipment itself falls under the responsibility of building management, we encourage the customer to follow up with them for further resolution.

      As a gesture of goodwill, we have applied a $150 credit to the customer’s account. While Wyse is not responsible for the higher usage, we understand the frustration caused by the time it took to complete the inspection and have provided this credit in recognition of the delay.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      The response from Wyse Meter Solutions Inc. is disappointing. Although I don't know who actually owns the heating and cooling system in my apartment or who is responsible for maintaining the upkeep of its components, I do know two things. One, is that the Wyse technician who inspected the meter in my apartment on January 23, 2025, told me that the actuator IS affecting my usage. This is acknowledged by 
      Wyse Customer Support in an email dated February 14, 2025, which states: "Our technician found that there was flow even when the thermostat was set to OFF. This continuous flow was contributing to the higher consumption. This further indicated that the issue is related to the actuator in your cooling unit not fully closing." The other thing I know is that I have been paying Wyse Meter, and no one else, for this higher than usual consumption, regardless of who is responsible for the equipment. Also, I believe this higher usage began in late fall 2023, as indicated by my monthly payments below.

      Sept.  8, 2023  $ 37.45

      Oct.  11, 2023  $ 37.45

      Nov.   9, 2023  $  36.24

      Dec. 12, 2023  $  44.75

      Jan.   --, 2024  $  --.--

      Feb.  20, 2024  $104.19

      Mar.  11, 2024  $  61.14

      Apr.     8, 2024  $  56.75

      May    6, 2024  $  53.99

      June   6, 2024  $    3.07

      July    8, 2024  $128.46

      Aug.   8, 2024  $  55.00

      Oct.  10, 2024  $ 98.10

      Nov.    7, 2024  $ 57.13

      Dec.  17, 2024  $ 57.51

      And indicated by the monthly charges on January 6, 2025 – $62.48, and February 13, 2025 – $66.44. 

      Unfortunately, I cannot accept the $150 credit from Wyse because I believe this amount is much lower than what I am owed by them and, in addition, is being applied to monthly charges for higher than usual consumption. Wyse has gained the whole time from this and even issued a letter to me in December 2024, threatening to send my bill to collections unless the balance was paid. I am asking Wyse to do what is fair and right and reimburse me for the full amount I have paid for higher usage. 


      Sincerely,



      **** ******

      We understand the customer’s ongoing concerns and appreciate the opportunity to address them further. While our investigation confirmed that Wyse’s metering equipment is functioning correctly and was not the cause of the increased consumption, we recognize that the delay in completing our review was frustrating. To demonstrate our commitment to resolving this matter and restoring the customer’s confidence in our service, we have now applied an additional credit that fully offsets all excess usage charges for 2024. At this point, all necessary billing adjustments have been made. We appreciate the customer’s patience and consider this matter fully resolved.

      A member of our Customer Support team has reached out and provided the customer with the daily usage for his utility services.  It is not unusual for a customer to have little fluctuation if their lifestyle is consistent. We encourage the customer to access their MyAccount online portal where they can monitor their daily and hourly usage.
