So many customer service problems with…

So many customer service problems with this company it would take a day to write it all. They were the worst company I've ever been with and will never sign anything with them again. They couldn't get my email right or my address. It took over 15 phone calls and a lot of extra stress. Do not sign with this company

FRAUDE

I was in my home with my 2 children when I opened the door he presented himself as Lee with just Energy. I told him, I am with Reliant and have a good rate with them. He said that Reliant had a base fee and that Just Energy didn't. Sales Agent Lee said, that Just Energy, would only charge me for the consumption of the energy, and no base fee or other charges would be charged. He said I assure you, you will pay less than what you pay at Reliant!. I then let him know that I had a contract with Reliant and that they have a CANCELLATION FEE and he said JUST ENERGY pays cancellation fee in its entirety. I then told him that I was not interested but he was talking with my children already so he said to sign some documents and he will make sure that Reliant gets their cancellation fee. I HAD NO CHOICE! But to sign the documents he had on his tablet fast because I was afraid for my children as I had my baby in my hands and the sales agent wouldn't let me close the door. After this, I was charged an early cancellation fee of $295 from Reliant. JUST ENERGY DIDN'T PAY ANYTHING. I contacted supervisor Jude on August 22, 2024, and He said that the sales agent Lee lied to me because they do have a base fee and other charges but that he does not work for them anymore so they couldn't do anything to help me. Supervisor Jude said if I cancel the contract I will be responsible for another $195 cancellation fee from Just Energy. The electricity bill that they are sending me says $224 when normally with reliant was at $60-130. Now, I am stuck with a contract that I was forced to get into. If I cancel I will have to pay them almost $500 for the month and cancellation fees.
To correct this situation, I am requesting a refund of the cancellation fee of $295 that was charged to my bank account by Reliant, and to cancel this contract without the cancellation fee along with the insane bill of $225 for this month.

In Midland,Tx they have girls at HEB, Sams doing in store promotions. These girls do not know their product. They need proper training. They are trying to sell FREE nights and 9.50 cents per Kw. I asked does the price per Kw change/fluctuate? She did not know. She had to call someone and finally got an answer-the price per Kw changes/fluctuates. I knew it was too good to be true.

Salesman at Sam's Club lied to me about fees that I would be charged after canceling service. Don't trust Sam's Club. They tried to intimidate me with fees I didn't owe to switch back to their company. High rates high fees.

Avoid just energy

Just like the recent reviews, avoid them!
I was with them from March to the end of July. I'm in my 20s, have always enrolled for paperless billing in any and everything that I do. My few months with them, I received only 3 emails, initial request for service, initial account information and final bill. I never received my monthly bills or payment confirmations. Every month I kept submitting request for paper free billing yet never received my bills online. By the time they sent the bills by mail and it made it throughthe USPS system, they were sending a disconnect notice and I was receiving them both the same day or a day apart, resulting in a late fee every month from them because these scammers refused to honor request of paperfree billing!
I have had service terminated with them over 3 weeks ago and yet, they are still adding fees to a final bill from them?? An ACH reject fee(I use the same account to pay every bill and have had that amount almost 2 decades, yet it rejected for them??), and a late fee(I terminated service, I am not with you guys anymore!!)

I will be putting negative reviews everywhere that I can from them and will be reporting them to the public utility commission.

My gas bill went up 100 percent with Just Energy. Do not sign with them unless you want to pay more money. The reviews are not good for this company and wish I never got involved with them. What a waist of money and scam.

I have already contacted customer service. Bottom line is that my gas bill went up 100 percent for the 2.5 months I had this service. Now that I have a straight NIPSCO bill, my bill is 1/2 what it was without you. No need to talk to Customer Service unless you want to refund my money I paid for this unnecessary service. Let me know.

I was told while I was shopping in Sam's Warehouse by a Just Energy salesperson to switch provider and can cancel anytime. It took them more than three days to set up my account. I just found out that there is a cancellation fee of $175 when I created my account login. I was also told I will get a $45 Sam's credit. I should have known not to listen to anybody in public places where you won't be able to scrutinized a deal

keep calling for renewal every day!!!

When approaching contract ends in 3 months, Just Energy started to call me every day asking for a renewal. Even I said it is too early to discuss it but they just keep going! These calls were from different numbers so I cannot block them effectively. Stay away from this company. Very annoying!!

This is not a good company to work with poor customer service and excessive fees overbilling

This is not a good company to work with at all. They seem to have all types a little scams to make you pay more. They will make it very difficult for you to keep up with your payments and keep TU on if you ever get behind. If they make a mistake with your payment you will not be given time to clear up any issues they will disconnect so they can double charge you fee. And their system will post duplicate payments to your account if you are not careful.

If I could give 0 stars I would.

I had been a loyal customer for several years with Just Energy, and they have been absolutely awful since 2021. But it makes sense when you find out they are going bankrupt. They shut off our electric without any notice, claiming I didn't make a payment, even though I had made a payment. They screwed us over when we moved and left the electric on for a month and then billed us for it. NOW I cannot get my final bill generated because "their system is down". Can't get any help on the phone because "their system is down". Funny how their system "went down" after we called them out on their mess. Funny how we can't get any help after they tried to give us the run around and we got hung up on while waiting to be transferred.

SCAM

this company seems to have a record of ripping people off and then refusing to make any kind of restitution. Wish I had checked them out before doing business with them. Fortunately I was able to get rid of my contract with them, after seeing my bill double for the two months they robbed me !

To add insult to injury they never responded to any of my communications. Also think Sam's club needs their fingers smacked for allowing Just Energy representatives to perpetuate this fraud in their stores. It's called "Guilt by association !

After 72 hours $20 late fee...wait disconnection fee

Becareful if u don't have automatic bill pay set up, or need to wait until payday to pay your bill good luck! You will recieve a $20 late fee after 72 hours. During these times of inflation that's exactly how you should treat your customers!

Just Energy is Terrible!!!!

Worst company ever! Predatory billing practices. Once you cancel with JE you get a collection notice without ever receiving a final bill. Buyer Beware!! I canceled with this provider on December 8, 2021, On 4/8/2021, I received a collection letter from CMC.
Folks, In 4 months I have not received any invoices.. period!! This company is despicable. I wish I had never allowed that Lying Sales Representative in Sam's club to convince me to give Just Energy a shot. Never, ever, waste time with the crooked clowns like the ones at this company!! Look elsewhere! You're welcome!!!!!

Horrible Experience

Horrible Experience, It was a Nightmare!
I wish there is something below 1 star!

The agent at Sam’s Club literally lied that their rates are the same as DTE so she convinced me to switch my gas supply for them, and after doing my research I found out that their rates are x2 from what I am having from DTE !! I called and terminated the contract, after struggling for two weeks, and I couldn’t receive a cancellation letter to confirm that the contract was terminated.
Wouldn’t recommend anyone to think of working with them, you will regret it !!!

Best rates in Houston!

BEST RATES IN ALL HOUSTON! If you’re looking for a cheaper rate definitely sign up at Sam’s Club for the free nights promotion, there is a lot of benefits for signing up in store! My last bill was at an average price of 5.96¢ per kWh!! Def recommend switching with Just Energy at Sam’s because outside rates are different!

Making account without your consent

They have door to door salesmen and they created an account without my father's consent. We never switched so we should not pay if we still have our provider. According to my father the salesman asked to see current bill and use his phone to create an account using the email on phone which he doesn't use. My father told him will not switch but will think about it but the guy still made the account.

Moved us to direct energy without saying, then was double billed from both companies. Continued to pay Just Energy, not knowing about the direct energy switch over...got a big bill from direct to pay off. Response from Just energy was....ahhhhhh... Couldn't back out in the beginning when they said the first 3 months were free.....but never seen anything free. This company is a bleeping joke.

You took advantage of my elder mother who is on disability, then jacked up her bill to such a ridiculous amount!!! Then when they disconnected her electricity in the heat they told her wrong info! I'm going to parrot the rest of these people here and say shame on you all!
Edit : After trying to get the over $900 bill worked out, it is now almost October and the bill is over $1000! We will be attempting to file a civil lawsuit!
