I switched to Just Energy on 4/30/25. I received a bill on 5/7/25 for the period of 4/30 - 5/5. I don't have a problem with receiving a bill for a partial month. My problem is that the possibility of a partial month bill was not explained to me at the time I set up service. The small number of days on this bill causes it to fall within a lower per kWh usage rate which is much higher than what my home typically uses and should have been billed for (21.3 cents versus 13.2 cents to be exact). This caused a bill of $92.84 to generate instead of $58.74. A difference of $34.10 that the company will not waive. This is a poor business practice.Business Response

On Friday April 11, 2025 my electric services were disconnected with Just Energy due to an IAG order . Basically someone not in my household tried to establish new services and either gave my address or the new energy provider (***) made a typo and put my address in error , this was confirmed with Oncor with the Just energy representative on the line . Because of that Just Energy wants to charge me a $175 disconnection fee for ending my contract early . I called and disputed so theyre going to do an investigation that can take ***** business days if its proved that it wasnt my doing my fee gets waived . So in the meantime they created a new account for me that requires I pay a $299 deposit in the next 20 calendar days , I disputed this because if my account was never wrongfully disconnected I wouldnt need to pay a deposit . They are not budging and saying with good payment history Ill get it back in ************************************************************************************** deposit being required .Business Response

Company is a ***************************************** Supplier. Looking back on the history of my account they have been overcharging me substantially each month for a long time, I did not give my authorization for them to be a vendor on my account. I am 80 years old. Why would I agree to pay their rate of $1136 per Mcf each month when my Consumers Energy Provider only charges $4.22 per Mcf for the same exact service and product. This is predatory and was recently brought to my attention when I did an audit of why my bill was so high compared to other senior citizens I know. I called the Supplier number provided on my bill, as well as Consumers Energy to get this removed. Consumers gave me the number of ************** which matched what was on my bill for their customer service number. When I called, it is a front for some Medical Alert Device and they deny that the number is affiliated with the Just Energy company, when pressed further, the representative slips up when asked what their phone is and starts to give a ***** number and not a ***** number, They have no intent to have you get in touch with them to cancel this service, you cannot even get them on the phone. I want this cancelled immediately and I would like to see about adjustments on over charges on my prior bills from non-authorization.Business Response

Just Energys records indicate an agreement was executed,during a door-to-door enrollment, on September 14, 2007, by Mrs. *** *********,to enroll with ************* and Electric. A copy of the Contract has been attached for your review.
In February 2011, notification was sent informing that ************* and Electric had been acquired, by Just Energy, and that Just Energy would be seen as the Gas Commodity Supplier.
On April 21, 2025, the customers account was submitted for cancellation and, according to the electronic response received from Consumers Energy, the customers account will be removed from ********************* Supplier Pool effective June 1, 2025. As Just Energy has a signed Contract, there is no basis for adjustment.

In January of 2025, I informed Just Energy that I was no longer using their services and that when my plan expired, which was 2-7-2025 to cancel it. Instead they took it upon themselves to switch plan without my approval. I was very sick in the hospital from 1-19-2025 until 2-10-2025, with asthma, pneumonia, flu, pseudomonas, and in isolation with Tuberculosis. I called them from the hospital several times even though I wasnt supposed to be talking due to ******************* to make arrangements for my last bill so I thought,they were rude and inconsiderate I spoke with supervisor asked them how can they change my plan without my permission when I clearly stated I no longer wanted their services they completely ignored me. I paid a bill for $308 on 2-11-2025 after I got out of hospital. I continually asked them why my service was still not cancelled they stated that hadnt received notice that I wanted it cancel which is not true. Now I have another bill for $385.11 which was due on 3-7-2025 this is ridiculous!!!! I would appreciate it if youll would help me to resolve this matter as soon as possible, this situation is causing me stress which is not helping my current health issues. Also I have switched to another electric company and they are still trying to charge me how can I be billed for two companies when I kept telling them to cancel. Please help!!!Im a senior on a fixed income I dont want my credit messed up due to their ignorance, inconsiderate, and rude behavior. Thank you for resolving this matter ****Business Response

Just Energy Electricity provider required a refundable $175 deposit for services to begin. They would refund the deposit when we canceled service. Service was canceled on 6-15-24. I made a request for refund through customer service email on *******. *************************** requested additional documents for the refund. I did not see the 8-1-24 request for more documents in my email until I called them on 1-10-25 for a status of my refund. Just Energy requested updated documents which I sent on 1-10-25. 1-21-25 Nala, Just Energy, said on the phone that Just Energy was mailing the $182.35 refund check to ********* Ct. and we confirmed the address. 1-29-25 ********, on the phone, said check would take 4 - 6 weeks to arrive. 2-5-25 Just Energy replied, by email, that they had approved the refund and it would be 3 weeks to receive the refund check (communication attached). 4-3-25 *******, Just Energy, on the phone, said the check will arrive in 6 - 8 weeks and that the previous person had told me the wrong information. This is a ridiculous amount of time and energy to get a refund that is due me. The total amount due me is $182.35 which includes an overpayment amount on the account along with the $175 deposit.Business Response

This service was canceled on 2/14/2025 due to fraudulent acquiring service as Just energy stated through their representative that they charged lower gas fees than DTE energy. They charge double. In addition, the gas card for $45 I was promised as a promo was never received.Business Response

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Regarding the concern expressed by customer ***** *****,please be aware that the customer completed the enrollment, where question 5,on the Verification, indicates: You are aware, agree and understand that Just Energy does not promise financial savings. Just Energy provides price protection against fluctuating energy prices. The customer initialing indicates understanding. Additionally, paragraph a, of the customer completed Contract also informs: This Contract does not guarantee financial savings.
Just Energys Plan Rate appears on the customer Contract and allows potential customers with an opportunity to compare, with the Utilities Rate, prior to agreeing to the enrollment. Just Energys Contract is transparent and does not imply any Rate or savings misinformation. These documents have been attached for review.
Regarding the customer gift card concern, the customer requested cancellation on February 14, 2025. In order to be eligible, for the gift card,the customer must be an active ******************** customer for 90 days, with the card being sent out after the payment of the first gas bill, with Just Energy charges.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions or concerns.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.
It is clearly seen by the number of complaints towards your company that you are involved in predatory practices to get people to sign up for your astronomical services. Who would sign up for a service that costs them double the current amount they pay for gas? And the salesperson specifically told me I would save immediately on the services. ?Doing business in this elusive manner is unacceptable.Regards,

To minimize any potential verbal miscommunication, regarding the Just Energy enrollment and associated Rate Plans, the Just Energy enrollment documentation clearly states that there is no promise of financial savings, with the Just Energy enrollment. This information is presented both on the customer authorization form and the pre-enrollment third party verification form. In both cases, this information is clearly listed and visible, with the customer having the opportunity to review and cease the enrollment process, if not in agreement with the written information.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions or concerns.

On Wednesday, March 5th, a representative of Just Energy approached me at the grocery store and was very aggressive about discussing my home's power bill. I told him I had a good rate but he just kept going. I let him talk and he managed to trick me into providing my name, an address, and a phone number. He showed me some iPad and told me multiple times that my energy provider would not be switched and that this "form" was just consent to email me with information about their plans.I did not want to sign this form but he refused to get out of my face until I put an initial by one of the sections.He then proceeded to sign the rest of the form FOR ME without asking for my consent.A few days later, on March 8th, my father received notice that his energy provider had been changed without authorization or consent. As he is an elderly man, I reached out to Just Energy to demand they undo whatever they did because this is "slamming" and "Fraud" to do what they did. They claimed they had authorization but based on their "contract" (that has no signature) they claimed to be allowed to do this. I reiterated they had no consent from the homeowner or the person who pays the bill, and if they insisted on sticking to this "contract" they need to uphold the 3 day legal policy that requires them to undo what they did.They claimed they would, gave me a tracking number and now refuse to follow-up or answer any further questions.I have filed a fraud case against them and will pursue legal action if they do not rectify this situation.Business Response

When I signed up with Just Energy I was promised the most at 9 cents a kilowatt. My first bill was awesome but then I got my second bill and we noticed we were being billed at 30 cents per kilowatt!!! It was outrageous. I am on a fixed income and disabled and I went solely by what the representative promised which was a lie. I went back to my old service at 13 cents a kilowatt and now they want to charge me an early termination fee. Thats abuse on the disabled and its their fault for not following through on their promises.Business Response
