  I emailed Dynegy on 7/14 to request they remove their company as a energy service on my bill. I never agreed nor signed an agreement for them to be on my account and didn't realize they were on there until my electric bill doubled in price. My bill is from the 23rd to the 22nd of each month so I didn't expect to see them on my bill again. My august bill is now 97.91 which is again excessively high for an electric only bill for a 2br apartment with only 1 occupant that hasn't changed anything with their electric usage habits. When I asked them to come off my bill in July they lied and said that they were cheaper than Duke Energy and they weren't and still aren't. Duke's rate is .031 and Dynegy is .051 which is doubling the rate. When told that it takes 1-2 billing cycles to be removed and that was Duke Energy's policy I inquired with Duke and Duke stated that they have no guidelines or policy's with Dynegy. I volunteered to get Duke on the phone with Dynegy and Sam (contact at Dynegy) stated they didn't have time for that. When I asked to speak with a supervisor I was told one would call me back that they couldn't transfer to one. This company is ripping people off and taking their time removing themselves from bills to get additional money.

  Dynergy electric!!!! A total scam. Sent a paper basically saying it was required to switch, I called my aunt to see what the problem was and she said that I could refuse. I called customer service and requested NOT TO ENROLL. But they enrolled us anyway. Not to mention it was an absolute scam as it is because you have people that may not receive their mail all the time or whatever the issue may be and you take the electric bill and double it for no reason? This is an absolute disgrace. I had duke for 2 **** years and then you guys just automatically switch my **** without permission and charge me twice what I paid for duke, for what exactly???? To get the same exact electric for twice as much money?? And I had autopay on but had contacted customer service on multiple occasions. This has gone way over budget and pushed me into deliquency although ive requested out of it multiple times. And im not the only one. I wont fall for that "you enrolled" comment either. I didnt enroll in ANY **** thing and you shouldnt be able to make decisions for anyone especially when they requested it not to happen. Absolutely ridiculous and SOOO MANY PEOPLE have been screwed over by you! Disgusting. Especially after everything going on, covid, inflation, job loss, gas prices. Its an absolute disgrace. It shouldnt be a thing at all when you provide NOTHING to the customer. I signed up for DUKE that is the ONLY company i applied to. If i wanted dynergy i would have APPLIED TO DYNERGY

  Noticed our Duke bill kept increasing mainly due to a charge from Dynegy then had an additional invoice pop up the month of April that was an extra charge from Dynegy only for almost $50.00! Called Duke and they won't do anything besides tell you to call them directly. I called Dynegy on 4/15/22 to have them removed from our bill and stop providing service ASAP. Confirmed there was a request for this to be removed. Get our May invoice and there's another $58.49 charge from Dynegy, but let it go since I was told it may take ONE billing cycle to be removed from the bill. Get our June invoice and guess what-there's a $105.91 charge from Dynegy. Call them immediately and am told they see the request in there and they will not be on our next invoice for certain. Just got our July invoice and shocking-there's a $151.04 Dynegy charge on it! This is absurd and is completely unacceptable. How am I responsible for having to keep paying this ridiculous amount each month when I requested them to be removed THREE MONTHS AGO?! We pay our Duke bill in full EVERY month and thanks to Dynegy they have now billed us an additional $300.00+ we should NOT have been responsible for! This may not be much money for most, but for someone who has young children, especially one with a lot of medical issues and medical costs, this is a huge issue for us. The last thing our hard-earned money should be spent on is an electric supplier that we requested to not have anything to do with!

  Dear BBB,
  
  Dynegy has reviewed complaint number XXXXXXXX from ***** *******.
  
  Following are our findings:
  
  ***** ******* is a resident of the City of Cincinnati at the address of **** **** *** *********** OH XXXXX. The City of Cincinnati has an opt-out electric municipal aggregation program and selected Dynegy as the electric supplier. The City of Cincinnati provided the customer's account number to Dynegy as an eligible resident to be included in the City of Cincinnati opt-out electric municipal aggregation program. Ohio law allows municipal aggregation, and the customer can learn more about it at https://www.puco.ohio.gov/be-informed/consumer-topics/governmental-energy-aggregation-local-community-buying-power/.
  
  Ms. ******* was mailed three opt out notifications making her aware of the selection of Dynegy, the price of electricity, and other informational material. The letter also included the options to opt out by mail or phone call. Additionally, a copy of the terms of service agreement was mailed with the opt-out letter (see attachment A). The most recent letter was mailed April 4, 2022.
  
  On April 25, 2022, Ms. ******* contacted Dynegy to opt out and drop from Dynegy's supply. The drop was submitted, however, during this time frame Duke Energy was in the process of changing their customer's account numbers. Due to this change, Ms. *******'s account was not dropped.
  
  On July 28, 2022, Ms. ******* contacted Dynegy due to Dynegy still being her supplier. At this time, the agent attempted to explain the municipal aggregation rate (0.0503 per kWh) is currently lower than her utility, Duke Energy. Ms. ******* declined to stay with Dynegy, therefore a drop transaction was submitted, and the effective drop date is August 25, 2022.
  
  Dynegy would be happy to provide Ms. ******* a refund for the April 25, 2022, phone call to drop, however, the price to compare rate with Duke Energy is higher than the Dynegy municipal aggregation rate. Therefore, no refund would be due to Ms. *******.
  
  A detailed voicemail with a direct call back number was left for Ms. ******* should she have any further questions or concerns.
  
  Dynegy recommends that Ms. ******* and submits the do not aggregate form to PUCO to ensure she is added to any municipal aggregation programs in the future. For more information, please visit https://www.puco.ohio.gov/be-informed/consumer-topics/electric-do-not-aggregate-list/.
  
  We trust this information will assist you in closing this inquiry. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by email at ***********@vistracorp.com.
  
  
  Consumer Response /* (2000, 10, 2022/08/26) */
  (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
  They obviously are still not taking any responsibility or even care about the fact that they cost me hundreds of dollars that I should not have been responsible for, but at this point it's like talking to a brick wall so that's the only reason I'm selecting yes since nothing else will ever come of it. So unfortunately we have to chalk it up and move on but we will do everything in our power to make sure as many people as we can notify are aware of this company and to remove them from their Duke bill as soon as possible and wish them better luck than we had with the removal process. It's such a shame companies like this exist and are never held liable for their handling of accounts. So screw you Dynegy and thanks for nothing!
