Someone from Universal Gas came to my house a few years ago I signed a contract apparently for 5 years. I don't remember.
This summer someone from Commerce came around and told me they had a better deal and contracts were for 1 or 2 years they looked at my bill and told me I would save signing up with them.
A month or so later someone from Universal gas called I didn't talk to them because I thought they were just a telemarketer trying to get my business back.
I received a letter saying that I owed $250 for changing companies.
I called Commerce Energy to ask what I should do and they asked if I had canceled with Commerce. I said no I hadn't who was I talking to? They said Universal Gas I thought I was going crazy I thought I had accidentally called the wrong number.
I checked redial sure enough it was the Commerce number so I called it again and they said that Commerce and Universal Energy were the same.
These people are trying to charge me for changing to their own company!
I called her a con artist and told her it was a horrible way to do business and that I was going to tell everyone I knew about this.
Since it is past 30 days on the Commerce one they will probably try and charge me $250 for changing from that one. I feel really dumb for being scammed like this I thought they were giving young people jobs working in my neighborhood.
