I have been stupid to be with them for so many years. When I realized that my electric bills have been charge triple, I call to cancel but I still have to wait for 2 more billing cycles. Stay away.

Hello Thanh. We regret to have lost you as our customer. With us acting as a third party supplier for your energy service, we work with your utility company to close the supply service account. We do not have control over your utility company's billing and follow in accordance to their timelines for transitions. Unfortunately, Direct Energy does not have the opportunity to close accounts ourselves, so we are unable to speed the process of closure along. To determine whether this cancellation could be expedited, we recommend connecting with your utility company directly to see if they can action your request. Thank you for your understanding and patience. We wish you the best. - Eleanor / Digital Care — Direct Energy
