posted in Universal Energy Scam: Rates Higher than Local PUC
12 July 2007 6:55 PM
Hi all
I had a UE rep come to our door last night, at 8:15pm just as we were sitting down to dinner. He introduced himself quickly, and immediately started into his spiel about how he wanted to ensure we were registered for the Hydro savings program. All I had to do was give him personal info and our last Hydro bill.
I told him I knew nothing about this program, since there had been no info sent to us from HydroOne that their reps would be coming to our door to register us. Plus, logically thinking, if he was from HydroOne, shouldn't he already HAVE all our info (KwH usage, account #, etc.) that would appear on the bill he wanted to see??
He quickly explained to me that they (UE) sell the energy to HydroOne, but could give us a better deal if I joined their 5 year program. I questioned if that meant we'd be switching suppliers, and he said 'no', everything would remain the same except for our 'great savings'.
When I said that I wasn't going to sign anything without more info, and wanted to check with HydroOne - nevermind that dinner was now getting cold - he asked if he could come back later - in '10 minutes or so!'. Finally, I told him I didn't have a bill from HydroOne - I get them electronically through Canada Post Epost (NOTE - a good line to make them leave, although true in my case! LOL!)
I DID NOT sign anything, but will keep a close eye on future bills just in case....
The best of luck to all who signed and are now trying to get out. I guess my interest in consumer protection, along with natural suspicion, came in handy this time!
