    I have been inundated with calls from ********. They never stop. They all come from different numbers. I asked to be removed from their list and was told that I would be removed but this obviously never happened as I still get calls. I block them, but they keep coming from other numbers. They are never from the same number. Their marketers are all over with different numbers. This is harassment. This is what I am reporting.

    I've spoken with ***** numerous times, who say that this is an associate of theirs, but they have no affiliation together, even though I was billed through ***** for these services, where this business posed as business members of ***** in my neighborhood offering clean choice, energy, energy, efficient, lightbulbs, and energy efficient Items for my home. They sold me a bag of goods that cost my energy costs to triple in one month. It is now cost me thousands in additional costs to my normal electric bill. They are targeting myself as a veteran of the United States military And other veterans and their family members who are retired in my neighborhood posing as business members of Pepco. Once again I have spoke with *****  numerous time to square away this bill. It is cost me thousands of dollars in addition to my regular electric bill plus it had to be put on a credit card so my electricity would not be shut off at 29% , ***** still insists that they have no affiliation with this business, even though I must pay ***** directly in order to Pay off this “ 3rd party provider “erroneous clean energy ********. ***** even noted that they charge twice as much as they do for the same exact energy coming into my home. This is a scam and it takes advantage of veterans and the elderly I needs to be stopped and I would like my $3500.00 back.

     Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because:
    They use lawyer speak to explain their less than ideal process. 
    They did not address the facts that they portrayed themselves and continue to receive payment 
    From *****. We are not privy their relationship with *****. 

    Also that this clean energy already exists via ***** and this is a grifting way to take advantage of myself (a veteran) and my neighbors.

    They have sent an email with a no reply address and did not address my request for refunds of being charged double or more for regular 
    Electric service.

    CleanChoice Energy is sending me deceptive and misleading marketing materials. The mailings are referencing 'Utility Company: *****, and a stamp in red reading 'IMPORTANT NOTICE: ACTION REQUESTED' and 'Second Attempt' - making this appear to have some official or mandatory tone to the letter. It then requests me to sign and return an authorization form. The format and language used by the company in these marketing materials are misleading and look to imply a relationship or further, perhaps an impersonation of ***** and could easily be misunderstood by an elderly person, or anyone that does not understand this to be anything other than a piece of marketing mail.

    I have made multiple requests, in writing and on the phone, to have my name and address removed from Clean Choice Energy mailing and solicitation lists and yet they persist in unwanted contact with me that I find harassing. I receive double mailings from them because they send one to ************************** and a second to ********************** Lewiston, NY ***********. For a company that claims to be environmentally aware, I am appalled by the waste --times two! I have moved twice since being a former customer and ending my contract because of the outrageous cost of this product, and I have received these harassing mail solicitations in spite of requesting to end them at what is now 3 addresses. I am willing to file a complaint with any entity that can stop this postal stalking! I am on every do not mail and do not call list that exists. Please help.

    I never even knew I signed up for anything as they claim I did in 2020. These charges are on your electric bill as if it is apart of it. 3 years and never once I have a received a bill from them directly or I would have been able to correct this a long time ago.

    Sometime around August 9,2022 my wife was shopping at ******* in Gardner Ma. and was asked to fill out a survey for a gift card regarding clean energy. She advised the person that we already have solar power installed on our residence and was told that was fine and for filling out survey nothing would change with our service. Well that was not true and we were switched to Clean Choice Energy at a rate of .024 a kw when my current provider was only .015. We would have never switched or filled out the survey if we knew what they were doing. This month my bill went for 286.00 to 784.00. When I called to inquire about what happened I was told that they had cheaper rates available but we didn't ask about them. Think how dumb that sounds, they charge your higher rates unless you ask for lower rates. I truly feel as if their company is a scam and mislead the public and take advantage of people. I have sent them and email directly sharing my disgust. I don't feel I should have ever been charged the higher rates when lower rates were available. They should have reduced bill to reflect lower costs. Thanks for any assistance with this matter. My account number was ******* and their info is as followed MA PDU Lic. No. **-***.

    Dear BBB Staff:

    Please accept this letter as CleanChoice Energys (CleanChoice) official response to the above-mentioned complaint filed by *************************** of ***************, Rutland, MA *********. The complaint concerns an enrollment dispute. CleanChoice reviewed its records, and we provide the following information in response thereto.

    According to our records, CleanChoice solicited **************************, spouse of ***************************, at a retail tabling event on August 8, 2022. After a conversation with the sales agent, ******************* authorized a digital enrollment for CleanChoice 100% renewable energy supply by: (1) providing her email address; (2) providing the utility account number and service address; and (3) clicking ‘Finish’ digitally signing a Letter of Agency agreeing to the terms and conditions, rates, and nature of the service. By digitally signing the Letter of Agency, **** ******* confirmed that she was authorized to enroll the account, acknowledged that she received and understood the Terms & Conditions, and authorized the enrollment to initiate CleanChoice energy supply service.

    As an additional measure, CleanChoice performed a text message verification to phone number ************** provided by *******************, in which she confirmed her personal information and enrollment authorization.

    On September 22, 2022, *************************** called CleanChoice to dispute enrollment, supply charges on his recent utility bill, and requested to cancel the account. The CleanChoice customer experience agent explained the information mentioned above and submitted a drop request to the utility, which was accepted with a service end date of October 20, 2022. ****************** did not have any additional questions.

    Upon receipt of this complaint, a CleanChoice customer experience supervisor contacted ****************** to explain the information mentioned above. In addition, the supervisor offered a goodwill refund of $241.96. ****************** accepted the offer and did not have any additional questions. We believe this response brings this matter to a mutually satisfactory resolution.

    I was without doubt tricked into signing CleanChoice Energy'S community solar program contract. The salesperson with whom I spoke did not give me several key pieces of information about this program. I was told I would not have a separate bill. I was told that I would not need to pay any additional fees. I was told that the solar credits received would appear on my electric bill. All of these claims were false. The salesperson claimed her name was Rochelle, and I spoke with her on 2020-08-27. When I told CleanChoice Energy that my solar credits were not appearing on my electric bill, the agent outrageously instructed me to contact the electric company. See "******************.***" attached for proof. Eventually, after several phone calls and emails, CleanChoice Energy agreed to wave the early termination fee. I was warned that I would need to participate in the program for 90 days. I agreed. When 90 days arrived, I was told by an agent that once I made the final payment, my account would be fully settled and cancelled and that I would not get any more bills. The agent claimed her name was Debbie, and I spoke with her on 2022-07-20. The next month, when another bill arrived, I called again. By chance, I reached the same agent. She initially denied speaking with me. Only because I wrote detailed notes was I able to catch her lying and force her to confess the truth. This agent outrageously then asked if I wanted to make a payment now. I was persistent. Only by corresponding with a supervisor, she eventually agreed to my reasonable terms, which were accept that I owe nothing, never send me another bill again, and send an email stating such. Despite this saga, I received yet another bill: see "2022-09-16 email from ***.***" attached. Also see "2022-08-17 **** email from CCE [no more bills].pdf" attached for the email agreeing to my terms. I seek that CleanChoice Energy accept that I owe nothing and never send me another bill again.

    Dear BBB Staff:

    Please accept this letter as CleanChoice Energys (CleanChoice) official response to the above-mentioned complaint filed by ********************************* of ***************************Spring, MD **********. **. *********'s complaint concerns a request to cancel his community  solar subscription. CleanChoice reviewed **.********** ********* solar subscription, and we provide the following information in response thereto.

    According to our records, ********************************* was solicited by a door-to-door sales agent with a CleanChoice third-party vendor on August 27, 2020. After a conversation with the sales agent, ********************** was sent an electronic community  solar subscription agreement to the email address he provided (**************************),for his review and acceptance. ********************** electronically signed the subscription agreement confirming his understanding of the terms and conditions and his enrollment into the ********* solar program.

    On April 20, 2022, *** ********* called CleanChoice to cancel his community solar subscription claiming that he was not advised that he would receive a bill from CleanChoice for community solar subscription charges. The CleanChoice customer service agent explained to *** ********* that his community solar subscription agreement dated August 27, 2020 indicated that he would receive two separate bills, one from the utility and one from CleanChoice Energy. Additionally, the agent explained to *** ********* his billing and subscription charges; however, *** ********* requested a callback.

    On April 22, 2022, a CleanChoice customer experience supervisor contacted *** ********* to resolve his concerns. However, *** ********* requested to cancel his community solar subscription. The supervisor submitted *** *********’s cancellation request and offered to waive the Early Termination Fee (“ETF”) of $200.00 that would be assessed since he cancelled his community solar subscription prior to the end of the term. *** ********* accepted the offer and did not have any other questions. Additionally, the supervisor sent *** ********* an email explaining that the cancellation may take up to ninety (90) days to process and that he would still be responsible for any subscription charges that were assessed until the cancellation was complete.

    On July 20, 2022, *** ********* called CleanChoice to confirm that the ETF was waived and dispute the recent subscription charges of $97.75. The customer experience agent advised *** ********* that the account was cancelled but it takes up to ninety (90) days for the cancellation to complete. The customer experience agent reconfirmed that the ETF was waived and that the $97.75 was the last remaining balance on his account.

    CleanChoice identified that *** ********* was assessed the ETF of $200.00 in error. As a result, CleanChoice contacted *** ********* and advised him that the issue was resolved and that CleanChoice agreed to cancel the remaining balance, thus closing his account with a zero balance. We hope this response brings this matter to a mutually satisfactory resolution.
