Subject: Urgent Request for Resolution of Misleading Enrollment
Median Energy Customer Service,
I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding my recent interaction with Median Energy. On June 3, 2025, I was approached by a representative who spoke about clean energy options and lower utility bills. At no point during this conversation was it made clear that I would be switching my current gas and electric providers, Con Edison and National Grid, both of which I am very satisfied with.
Under the impression that I was simply exploring options, I was misled into providing my account numbers. Upon realizing the implications of this action, I attempted to contact your customer service to cancel my enrollment the very next day. Unfortunately, I was unable to reach anyone despite multiple attempts.
I am formally requesting the immediate cancellation of my enrollment, as I do not wish to switch providers. I was informed that I could cancel within 48 hours, and I have made my intentions clear. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate the issue by filing a complaint with my state’s public utility commission and notifying my lawmakers of this deceptive practice.
I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response confirming the cancellation.Business Response

Upon receipt of the complaint Medan has investigated the matter. Median confirms the enrollment was completed by the account holder who stated he was the account holder and authorized to make changes to the account and understood and agreed to Median Energy’s terms and conditions upon completing the Third-Party Verification call. Median submitted the customers accounts for cancellation. We confirm the electric account will not begin services. Median is currently waiting for the natural gas’ end of service date to post. I trust this satisfactorily addresses the complaint.Initial Complaint

Median Energy Corp has been signing me up for their gas and electric services without my consent. They are sending letters to my current supplier, PSE&G, informing them of the pending cancellations even though I have not signed up with Median or had any contact with anyone from Median. This has been occurring at least 3 or 4 times in the last two months. Is there anyway you can stop this madness? Please help! Thanks!Business Response

My mother was scammed to change providers. I called to cancel and they did not do so. They are door to door scammers that take your energy and electric bill and make an agreement using the information. I wish for my account to be cancelled and information deleted before changes go into effect.Business Response

Median Energy illegally cancelled our contracts with *** and *** and moved our electricity and gas accounts to their company. They claim that "someone" from our house called them to do this and neither my husband or I did. It was a blantant lie and they stole our business. Several of our friends in the area had the same thing happen to them. Median Energy is a scam and are hacking accounts and stealing business for themselves.Business Response

Today I received a letter from my gas company, ***, stating that I requested to be switched to Median Energy PA LLC as my provider. I called ***, as I never authorized this request, and they said I had to contact Median Energy to cancel, so I did.
The customer service rep told me that they only sign people up in person, because you need to show your license, so I got to thinking how this could’ve possibly happened. A few months ago, 2 guys knocked on my door and asked to see my energy bill. I told them no, and that whatever they were selling, I wasn’t interested and shut the door. I didn’t show them my bill nor my license, and I definitely didn’t sign anything.
Looking at Google reviews, this is their MO. It’s also fraud.
The rep told me he submitted a cancellation request and that they would be doing an internal investigation into how this happened. If I don’t hear back within 2 weeks, I can call to inquire into the outcome.
This company better cancel this service that I never signed up for, because they won’t get a dime out of me.
Again, somehow they got my license information AND forged my signature. If that’s not fraudulent, I don’t know what is.Business Response

Yesterday Medians Salseman came to our apartment complex, claiming to grant us fake refunds for our electric and gas supply. They kept using vague words whenever I tried to question them and just said they needed information to get me the refund. And next thing I know they have already changed my supplier without even informing me what they were doing.They lied and tricked me into the scam, getting to enroll with them.Business Response

On 12/26/2024 I was slammed by Median Electric. I lost the remaining 18 months on a contract for electricity at $0.0989. Got charged $25.50 by Median Electric for the switch in supplier. Spent hours on the phone with both Median Electric and Med-** getting the switched cancelled. Paid $0.1899 for the time Met-** had me on Median Electric as the supplier. I filed an informal complaint with the ****************************. Got a check for $13.61 from Median Electric. ********************* was fine with that and dismissed the complaint, even through I am out hundreds of dollars from the lost prior supplier contract and switched service. ********************* dismissed the complaint on 02/05/2025. Then I get a letter from Met-** on 02/08/2025 (dated 02/03/2025) that Median Electric slammed me again.Business Response

A representative came impersonating a ***** employee asking us to electronically sign in order to get a new gas meter. It was never represented to us that my signature will change service to Median which was a complete misrepresentation in bad faith. I thankfully received notice from ***** that my provider changed so I quickly reversed the situation. However, they came before the winter months and changing gas suppliers back takes 2 months. I think they did this on purpose. I then got charged, $0.93 per therm instead of the $0.38 cents per therm that PSE&G charges. My bill was over $300 for gas supply alone and it should have been less than $150.00. I need the company to issue me the credit for the difference. Where there is smoke, there is always fire. An attorney should investigate to see if there is a class that can be represented.Business Response

I have attempted to contact Median Energy to remove them off of my **** **** with no response . I attempted to contact them in October, November and in December but sat on hold for hours.

The representative came to our door under the guise of being a representative of Con-*** and coerced my partner into signing an agreement that was supposedly just a formality to our existing agreement.
