SmartEnergy -- Profile Analysis

I hope no one thinks they are going to use this when they receive it.My card was used before i even received it.I now am waiting for ten days so they can check on the dispute. So maybe i might get it.

Never use the company Smart Energy. I did that last year because I was told that I would be charges for my electricity under a fixed rate. Never got a welcome package with all information, never got a renewal notification in the mail in January they "supposedly" sent. I have been in the phone all week with them because I stopped my services with them on July 13, only to find out they were still charging me because I stopped my services with them four days into a new billing cycle. I just asked for a reimbursement, not even a total one. Just 75 percent. I just called and again asked to be reimbursed, and I was ask if I was going to reimburse them for the electricity that I used!!! This is customer service?????

Will never trust anything they have to say. Was promised a $100 gift card after 6 months of service. Got the run around and never received card. Talked into continuing for one more month to get the card. My bill was tripled this month and never got the card. Called twice to cancel, finally called my electric company. I had to go through the electric company to finally get them off my bill.

I believe this is the same Co. who has a failed history in the phone business. I refused to go with them even though my town did. They love to send out "scare static" letters!! 0These people are corporate scum

This is a rip off. Run. The cancellation for this company takes 1 to 2 months in which Smart Energy can still charge you for those 2 months. Can you say Rip off. They get you by telling you that at the end of your 6 month trial you'll receive a $100 visa gift card. All lies. They send you a post card of a gift card then ask you to do too much for it. Don't do it. Research for yourself before signing up. Its a battle trying to cancel.

I signed up for lower rate and 12th month electricity free advertisement.
After I mailed my billing copy, no response.
Approached them may different ways, email, leaving comment, no response.
Don't fall for it.

This company allowed someone who is not listed as an authorized representative for myself or my electrician bill to make changes to my account WITHOUT verifying they were allowed to make changes. My landlord thought they were being helpful in order to get $100 gift card they assumed would be credited to my electric bill. They did not realize they were changing my generation supplier! This company makes ZERO effort to ensure they aren't committing fraudulent acts. Thankfully there was no cancelation fee. They sent the postcard about the $100 gift card to my LANDLORD!!! It wasn't even sent to the service address & yet they still allowed changes to be made. Next is a complaint to the BBB!!!

I signed up for their services and was told I would get a gift card. I called them when the 6 months was up. I called to get my gift card. They made me jump through some more hoops a few months ago. I never got my gift card. I feel like II was used and very disgusted with this business and they lied tp people. How can this be right?

This company sent to my 15 years old son Rodolfo Reyes, a bill as he have contract with them, and after months my mother and me calling they avoid to talk and resolve this matter, my mother paid all this money without any reason because my the electric bill is on my name Jesus Reyes, now call them because they sent a bonus of $100 dollars gift card on my son Rodolfo Reyes again to do the same thing, I talk to them and now they sent me congratulations for be part of this company as customer, this company is a SCAM, cancel every contract or contact with this company because after the 6 months that they promised small saved bill they sent you a huge bill up to 700 or more or that partial service...tomorrow Saturday I will call them and I gonna call THE NEW JERSEY NEWS too and every body to let they know what this company is doing ...putting a MINOR CHILD as the owner of the electric bill and charge money ....they have to pay me back all this money that they got for not service because this ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC is on my name JESUS REYES, NOT ON MY 15 YEARS OLD SON, THAT NO EVEN HAVE ID.

Bill stayed similar to original bill from supplier, UNTIL 6 months after I sign up and they jack my rate from .08/kWh to .19/kWh. NEVER again will I go through these clowns let alone recommend them to ANYONE

Kept receiving info in mail. I called it sounded great they told me, my bill would not go over $$ the current bill I had when I called them.it sounded great I verbally signed up on Dec 23, 2021.
Today 1-7-2022 I received their contract in the mail. After reading it in detailed, I knew I was misrepresented per tel conver that took place in Dec, with regards to a fixed rate.
so immediately I call smart energy to requested to cancel their contact, rep name was Willa from the Outside of the United States , , the representative Willa inform me CMP will not allow them to cancel prior to Jan 13, 2021.
I inform them I as of today 1-7- 2022, I am requesting cancellation of my service with Smart Energy, they refused even after speaking with 2 supervisor. I then called Central Maine Power informed them of the situation, that 3 reps informed they cannot cancel service, until January 13th. 2022. , CMP blocked smart energy from service.
I then called Public Utilities Commissioner filed a formal complaint against Smart Energy for misrepresentation.
I am going to contact every state Legislature in the state of maine and inform them what this company is doing. It is dead wrong for any company to misrepresentation or to not cancel your service. We consumers really need to do detail home work on foreign companies.
Please if anyone has trouble with smart energy contact your local Public Utilities Commissioner in your state their # is on your electric bill, file complaints and contact your local state legislature to stop this company from what their doing. I informed smart energy Im going to make them go blind on paperwork because I have nothing but time on my hands & I love writing hand written letters.
Please dont let your elderly parents etc fall for things such as this.
Sincerely Rita

P.S I dont think this company deserves any stars so I would highly recommend do not sign with them

The offer said $100 gift certificate for new accounts. Right. The price was right at first. There it more than doubled. I had to change rather quickly. Without collecting my 100. Because The price was so high I couldnt afford to hold onto it long enough to complete the transaction.

My rates went from .107 to .184 without any notice from them. Please do not ever choose this company just a warning. I wouldn't even give them one star but had to to complete this.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!
They are absolutely so unprofessional and absolute thieves. I cancelled my service with them and they choice to only cancel my electric and not the gas. How convenient it was winter. I called over and over to speak with a supervisor and til this day I'm still waiting to hear from a supervisor the best part is they are great at setting up your account that there was no problem with. Lol Bottom line is that now I have to pay for the gas I cancelled. I am a disabled woman with 2 children and a $600 gas bill. They are absolutely a horrible company. I'll be home with no gas or electric cause they want to steal from people. Do not trust this company there are many other smart energy companies to use.

Was told my electric bill was going. to. go down. Went up. over 200.00..DO NOT FALL FOR THE SERVICE THEY LIE ABOUT!!!!! Called to cancel still waiting. BS service

They send you this postcard with a pin number and say it is a "$100 thank you gift card" that they are giving you for 6 months of being a customer. It is all a lie. When you call, the sales lady tells you she has to switch your energy supplier to someone else, that it is the same but just cheaper, etc etc...she is intentionally confusing. Then *After six months of paying at their new rate* they will send the gift card. So basically, this is just to disappoint people who think they are going to get money, instead getting scammed into spending more with a different company. This is the most misleading ad I've ever gotten. It is really cruel actually, because the people who are most disappointed are those who are the most desperate.

This company started out for us fine however I the past 6 months our electric bill soared to over $200 a month.. and we use wood for fuel. Ridiculous.. switched back to jcp&l and our bill has been on average &89.. very misleading. &100 gift card wasnt worth it.

Extremely shady company. They enrolled me on a variable plan after 6 months. I never signed up for it. Got an electric bill for over 525 dollars and 400 dollars was this companies carrier charge. Never received gift card of 100 dollars. Takes over a month to cancel them. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

My Rates went up over 400% and the customer service agent tried to tell me it was because of my usage. Granted, my usage went up too but the rep blatantly lied about the rates, telling me a low rate when I was looking at the .25kwh.Thats just criminal

It started out ok and then our bill jumped to over 200.00. We called first energy and they sd they were charging us quadruple the regular price. Drop this company ASAp

The company did not properly identify themselves as I thought I was signing with... they mislead me and my bill is a ripoff..

Received a what I assumed was a gift card for the electric provider I had switched to a month before. Called to activate and made the mistake of switching because I honestly didnt understand a word the lady was saying because she must have just learned English to work there. Anyway bill went from .08 kWh to .1945972, seriously brought the bill up another $100. I feel so dumb, anyway called to try and cancel it and it took around 45 minutes and had to call multiple times.

SMART ENERGY LURES YOUIN WITH A GIFT CARD, THEN THEN SCREW YOU OVER IN THE END!!!!!!! I WAS NOT AWARE THAT MY CONTRACT ENDED-THEY DID NOT NOTIFY ME BUT THE INCREASED MY BILLING AMOUNT PER USGAGE FOR ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH IT MAD ME CRY.... MY BILL WAS $720.00 FOR ONE MONTH, THEN WHEN I CANCELLED THEM MY NEXT BILL WAS $620.00 EVEN THOUGH I STOPPED USING ALOT OF ELECTRICITY. THYE TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF CONTRACT SO THEY COULD CHARGE ME AS MUCH AS THEY WANTED AND ACCORDING TO FIRST ENERGY THATS RIGHT!!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!! THEY GOUG YOU SO BAD IT IS NOT FAIR!!!!!
BEWARE!!!!! I HATE THEM.... I CANT AFFORD THESE HIGH PRICES!!!! REALLY...WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE????

They didn't give me any notice and doubled my bill. Don't sign up with them. Very unhappy with them
