Jul 6, 2023, 1:11?PM (7 days ago)Your signup confirmation code is ********** and you can find your terms and conditions here. Jul 13, 2023, 11:03?AM (3 hours ago)****, you’re so close to switching to 100% clean, renewable energy. However, we are experiencing an issue enrolling your account. Please give us a call today at ###-###-#### so we can further assist you and help you complete your enrollment. Jul 13, 2023, 2-3PM Called the number, person answered and said there was an issue on the address, but once that is corrected they can send it in and be good. Was told, I do not get the promo anymore, and customer service can handle from there. Transferred to customer service, person said there is nothing they can do, they see the utility company rejected it, and not based on address. 2 different stories, and being told now even thought I applied during the promo, I am not eligible for it anymore because it ended. I explained the situation, and that even though the promotion was over, this was started during it. Its not like I did an enrollment today, and want something I saw. It took 1 week to get a response on the enrollment, and that did not give me anytime to find out there was an issue. Now I am being penalized and told I cannot what I enrolled for because the system and process is slow. Great way to treat a future customer, but now I am not because its not the 7.0 ¢/kWh Same rate for 12 months which I enrolled during, its now 11.5 ¢/kWh Same rate for 12 months. I will be more than happy to spread the word on how this company handles their processes and customers.Business response

Received my most recent electric bill of $1,778.80 from ****, CleanChoice Energy is the supplier on my account. **** account #*****-*****. Meter reading is for 5/26-6/13/2023, but CleanChoice is billing me for service covering each month from April 2020 to June 2023 on this one bill. How is this ok? I have called **** and CleanChoice Energy multiple times and both point the finger back at the other. Ultimately the issue is with CleanChoice since I have paid **** each month on time and am currently paid up. I cannot afford to pay this amount that CleanChoice is billing me for, and I don't feel I should have to based on their delinquent billing practices. I would like this matter reviewed and resolved as quickly as possible.Business response

We regret the experience that *** *** had with our service. We are investigating the details of her experience and how we can work with **** to prevent it from happening again the future. A supervisor with CleanChoice contacted *** *** and confirmed we were mailing a credit to make right on the mistake. The credit is scheduled to be mailed on 7/18/23. We believe this is a mutually satisfactory resolution. We encourage *** **** to contact us if she needs anything further assistance.Customer response

I have never, nor do I want anything to do with this company, and my phone is on the "Do Not Call List". This company calls all hours of the day and night, never leaving a message, just calls and hangs up from multiple phone numbers, and multiple times a day. I have already filed a fraud complaint with the National Do Not Call Registry on 6/15/23. This company started calling me on 6/12/23 phone #************** @ 3:23 pm, Then again, the same day from ************ @5:52 pm, then on 6/13 from ************ @ 9:29 am again same day from ************ @ 3:51 pm again from ************ @6:09 pm, on the 6/14 from ************ @ 10:20 am, on 6/15 from *********** @8:58 am, same day from ************ @ 3:32 am again same day number @ 6:25pm, on 6/16 from ************ @ 10:27am, on 6/19 from ************ @ 11:18 am, on 6/20 from ************ @ 12:18pm, same day from ************ @ 2:44 pm, on 6/21 from ************ @ 1:17 pm. I am tired of this company calling hanging up not leaving a message, and these are unwanted and unsolicited calls. I find this company to be a fraudulent company, as if a legitimate company they would be calling from same number and would leave a message.Business response

CleanChoice has added the information included in the report for ********************************* to our internal do not contact and do not solicit list. However, we request that the BBB redirect this complaint to Clean Sky Energy because they are mentioned in the complaint report not CleanChoice. Our records show that we have never made solicitation calls to phone number listed in the complaint **************, which further shows this complaint is misdirected.Initial Complaint

This is a lying, cheating, stealing, and manipulative company. They do not care about these complaints. I demanded that I be removed from this bogus service after receiving a $150 charge for supplies. What supplies? You never even came into my house what possible supplies did you give me that you charged me for. Now, after being removed from their bogus, lying, cheating, manipulative service, my electric bill is back down to $60-$80/month. As an insult to injury, they have begun sending malicious physical mail in the form of spam. Sending letters labeled FINAL WARNING with my electric provider on the envelope. It is just a spam ad for joining their service. They confirmed that I do NOT want their service but then immediately offer me their service. Ruthless, idiotic scumbags.Business response

My mother has been in hospital since November. Without her consent CleanChoice Energy has been trying to scam her out of money. As a senior citizen still in hospital with no income. I want you to say to them: What in GODS name are you doing? 100 % my mom did opt for this service. They took advantage of her during sickness. How awful. What a deplorable business. Do something for GODS sake. Do something that matters. This is not a good business. They cheat and scam and trick. You need to address them. This is important. Do good. Be good. Thats it. What arent you people understanding. Enough with trying to destroy poor people. You never will. You will never break us! God is on our side. God bless.Business response
