    Just Energy mentioned that their rate was going to be lower. I'm planning to give them a call because the rate is a little bit different and the amount of each statement has been around the same or a little bit above. The only interactions I've had so far with them were when I signed up and one time when I called to inquire about the future billing, and those conversations were good experiences.

    Extremely disappointed in how Just Energy supports their existing customers. They were chosen many years ago as an alternative natural gas supplier to North Shore Gas. Just realized that they do not automatically lower their rate when it drops. They stated that if the customer does not contact them, they will continue to charge at the higher, original contract rate, even if that original rate is double the current rate. The customer should be aware, but who understands costs per therm? Just Energy should not have taken advantage of this, but instead supported a customer who chose to continue to do business with them. It's hard enough to battle with increasing cable bills, phone bills, etc, but then to feel taken advantage of after learning about how the gas bill works just makes me hope that others stop using Just Energy and find that it's probably better to stick with your natural gas distributor like North Shore Gas or People's Gas.

    We switched to Just Energy because their sales rep told us it won't affect our bill charges but they'll give us a Sam's Club gift card every year. Since we were told that our bill would still be the same, we switched. BUT, soon they started charging way too much for the 'additional service charges ' and they were twice the usage charges. We were paying $250 for the same usage we once paid $100 for with a different supplier. We asked their customer service what those additional charges are and they never told us. They would hold us off and never give us the proper answer. It's illegal to charge for something you CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN! I hope they get sued. Worst. Experience. Ever.

    A sales rep knocked on my door and told me that he works for Just Energy and he can lower my bill down to $37. He claims that his company is an affiliate with PG&E. He asked me to sign up to receive an offer from PG&E, which I did. Then I received an email from Just Energy asking me to finalize the process. I looked through the website, the sales rep kept interrupting my reading but I noticed that it wasn't just for the offer but it was the agreement to start service. At which point, I told him that I was in a hurry and would look over it later. He kept pushing, said that it had to be done right away. So I declined. The next morning, I received an email asking me to finalize the process (it looks identical to the email I received the night before). I ignore that email. Then just now, I received a email from Just Energy to welcome me to Just Energy and thanking me to choosing them.

    I have never heard or had no knowledge of what this company was. WE never spoke to anyone or any representative to accept or hear about this company. Somehow we got enrolled to this company and didn't find out till I got my latest bill that was ridiculously high. I saw third party charges on my bill and for the first time I saw the name Just Energy on my bill. I called the gas company and they said they have nothing to do with this change and to call this company directly to get to the bottom of what happened. I did just that and they said they would launch an investigation to see who authorized the transfer.

    I am 100% certain it was not me or my brother who are the only ones authorized to make changes on our account, therefore I am curious to see who they claim to have spoken to and got an authorization from because it wasn't from the account holders who should be the ONLY ones to make such changes. This baffling and quite fraudulent if you ask me. Never heard of this company in my life and I know that I am not the only person with such complaint. I was told the account is cancelled for now but to call back in two weeks to when the investigation is completed to make sure the account is cancelled and that I don't have to pay anything from the bill. I hope this is true and I hope I am switched back to my original gas provider as I never asked to be switched in the first place. So upsetting and violating.

    I was at Sam's and heard about Just Energy. The reps at the club were very professional and impressed the heck out of me. They weren’t pushy, which in a lot of sales things, they are. I don’t like high-pressure sales. Also, Just Energy's prices are a bit better than my provider, which is ComEd. I like the fact that I get them cheaper because of bulk rates.

    The only issue I had with Just Energy was I felt I was a little misled on the gift card promotion when they were doing it at Sam’s. I was under the understanding that I was supposed to get a $50 gift card, but I ended up getting a $20 or $25 one. But I’m not worried about it because when I contacted Just Energy, they said that the $50 was supposed to be for both switching my electric and my natural gas. I must have misunderstood with the lady that I talked to at Sam's. It might have been partially my fault so it's not a big deal.

    I have been working with Just Energy for some time now. Before, I had a pre-paid account that was great, told me how much I used every day and saved me a ton of money being able to keep up with it like that. 4 months ago, I had to move for work and Customer support convinced me that I had to close the previous pre-paid account because it wouldn't let me transfer to a new address. Now, I am realizing that this is because they wanted to get rid of the account and not because I was moving. I believe they discontinued the pre-paid accounts because they feel like they weren't making enough money off of them. This is beside the point.

    I called in two weeks after because I was unable to log into my new account to see my usage. Customer support told me that there was no new account. So instead of being able to just get my account active and working, they were obligated to "launch an investigation", which they tell me was to see who cancelled the account and whether or not it was something I actually approved. Despite the implication of being called a liar, I decided to stay with them as I really appreciated the service I got with the pre-paid account.

    Every week after that I got a call from someone claiming to be from Just Energy DEMANDING payment. They knew exactly how much my bill was for and had no notes on the active case. I just called in today as I received an email stating the investigation was over and that I could go ahead and pay my bill now. Yes, they continued to charge me for electricity while they were running their "investigation". While speaking with an agent named "Bryan", he went through the process of trying to just open a new account on my email address (without my permission) and got the same response I did which was that it couldn't be done because my email address was already attached to the old account.

    I asked if they could detach the address because I no longer live there and Bryan said he could not. I asked to escalate the issue and he told me that someone maybe get back to me in a week. When I asked for his credentials and demanded to speak with a supervisor, Bryan continued to talk over me and tell me that he was not going to do that. He wasn't going to let me talk to anyone else and he wasn't going to give me his identifying information. He tried to just ignore me for five minutes so I would assume he hung up and I would hang up myself, but I know they are not allowed to hang up on us so I waited on the line.

    5 minutes later, the hold music came back on and I had to restart the process over again. I eventually talked with another agent who tried to get me to pay the bill again before I had to get a little louder when asking for a supervisor. Every time I call Just Energy, they don't want to help, they just ask for me to pay. And my bill isn't even due for another couple of days!

    The supervisor I spoke to after that Camila tells me that no one would ever call from Just Energy to demand payment and that I should ignore those calls. I explained that they knew exactly how much my bill was for and that the evidence points to a data leak in the Just Energy network and that I wanted to know how to eliminate all of my information from their system and cancel my account/s. She told me that someone would be getting back to me through email and that they were going to try and improve on the customer service for me. She hastily got off the phone after asking me if there was anything else she could do for me and I responded by saying, "If that's really all you can do then I guess not."

    She was supposed to be a supervisor and instead it was just another agent trying to push me off the call without any results. I'm still left here just waiting for an email from some random department that apparently doesn't have a direct phone line. Just Energy has leaked my data to malicious people who called and demanded money from me and then just apologized and told me not to give my info out. Just Energy has consistently given me bad customer service. Just Energy has given me shady service. I've never had such shady, terrible customer service with any company in my entire life.

    Also, they continued to charge my pre-paid account despite having 30 dollars left on the account, after I moved out and only refunded what was left to the new account when it got all the way down to 2 dollars and some change. Basically they just didn't close my account out for almost three weeks after I moved and continued to bill that whole time.

    I had a sales rep come up to my door as a disabled woman told me that I could save money on my gas bill so I decided it was worth a shot being on a fixed and low-income. Any money that I could save is a good thing as I am on disability and so is my son. I was told that I would only get one bill from Just Energy however I received a bill from SoCalGas which had their price for the month and also had a prize for Just Energy SoCalGas price was less than Just Energy as well as their charge per wattage was lower. Just Energy was always higher and I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.

    I've then canceled my service after 3 months only to be bombarded with emails and when I was told at the time of cancellation that my account would be credited the amount of my last bill he then had to open up a ticket to listen to the conversation between the customer service rep and myself. I told him to please do so because they were on speakerphone and I had witnesses to the fact of what I was told and had no reason to lie. Still waiting at this point on the results whether they'll take off the amount owed of $37.92 or not!

    However at the end of the phone call the gentleman asked me if I refer friend I get a $25 credit. I would not refer my dog. Not only am I leaving this review here I have also notified the Better Business Bureau. I have put a post in the city that I live in. City Hall to notify everyone in my city not to use them as well as notified all my family and friends and everyone that I know not to use this company.

They took our payment of course but disconnected our electricity because it "went against contract because we were late." Every other company I have dealt with has been very understanding in that type of situation because it's not my fault or theirs. The mail was slow... But yet they didn't care.

    Original Review: Jan. 3, 2019

    So I had disputed a charge with Just Energy back in September 2018. They charged me $191 for a month of power in a 1 bedroom apartment, which was odd (also $161 the following month). It turns out that my contract had expired and they decided to jack my rate up for no reason. The thing was, they never notified me that my rate would increase post contract, nor, did they send me ANY notification that my contract was up.

    After roughly 10 hours on the phone with 6 different agents (all of them were rude and indifferent), they agreed to re-rate me at the correct rate if I signed for another year, which I did. They agreed to only re-rate me for the first overcharge however ($191) NOT the 2nd overcharge. Like any sane person, I asked them to re-rate the 2nd charge... 2 different customer service agents said they would absolutely not.

    Since they said no, I decided to dispute the charge with AMEX. AMEX got back to me and said that Just Energy was not responding to their request for an explanation so the $100 credit on my AMEX remained. I figured we were all square. Nope... I saw that my December bill was for $181! I knew that they were up to their old trick so I called Just Energy. It turns out that they later decided to Re-rate me and not tell me about it... I'll say it again, not even a freaking email to tell me that they re-rated me! This was after they told me, rudely, that they would NOT re-rate me! They charged me the $100 that I had disputed, fair enough, they fixed the issue, I'm happy to pay that $100. They added a $25 fee, get this, as a penalty for disputing the charge! A PENALTY FOR DISPUTING THE CHARGE. Now I frankly don't care about the $25... It's the principle. You cannot be this rude and non-communicative with customers and keep their business.

    So today, I spent 2 hours on the phone with 3 different reps (I never asked for different reps... They kept transferring me because me call was taking too long... I will type that again so that you fully get it... THEY KEPT TRANSFERRING ME BECAUSE HELPING THEIR CUSTOMER WAS TAKING TOO MUCH OF THEIR TIME). That is psychotic. Anyway, they refused to refund the $25. I will be leaving for another power company as soon as I get time to do so.

    HEED MY WARNINGS... PAY MORE MONEY TO A DIFFERENT POWER COMPANY, DON'T USE JUST ENERGY. You will feel better being treated like a human being and not a pest, it is worth paying more! If you want to picture the experience talking to a Just Energy rep on the phone, I will paint one for you. Imagine an indifferent, sullen, angry teenager, who hates their job, trying to get you off of the phone as quickly as possible and truly not caring if your issue is solved or if you are satisfied as their customer. Speaking with Just Energy is like a day the DMV.

    Just Energy said that they were able to lower our monthly bill. They put us to a new company that’s more expensive and that’s who subcontracts electricity out to us. Just Energy pays the same and I get discounts because I am a Sam’s Club member. The representative handled most of the signup process as long as I had the bills. I had to give them bills so I can give them the correct information. I didn’t have the bill at first though, so I had to go back and make an additional trip to the store to talk about the bill. It really wasn’t that hard of a setup for me. But I wasn’t able to set up the points system, which was difficult for me. And I'm still having a hard time setting up the points.

    It was explained to me that the service will be maintained until I cancel it. I didn’t know there was a contract though. I’m not 100% sure but it was explained to me that if I wanted to cancel and I could call any time and cancel it. But I wasn’t informed that there was a monthly subscription. It also wasn’t explained to me that there was a certain period of time where I have to renew. I don’t think that Just Energy is working for me. My bill may be anywhere between 10 and 11 cents different.

    A worker came to my door about Just Energy... Never heard of them before... Signed up with them. He said it would be easy to canceled... Been getting the runarounds with my cancellation. Canceled in November and still being billed. Every customer service gave me different excuses even talked to the manager. Still haven't received proof of cancellation notice when it will exactly stop charging me by paper. They come to my house with offers. I will slam door in their face and let everyone beware of these crooks. I asked, "If y'all still bill me will I get some of my money back?" and manager said no. They got 3 months. After 3 months lawsuit will come and it's not going to be pretty for giving me the runaround.

    I was approached by a company representative at Sam’s Club telling that I could sign up to receive perks as an Ameren customer and that my bill wouldn’t change. Next thing you know, I am receiving a $357 bill when my bill is typically $70. I have been trying to talk to them over the phone and over email for the last week and a half and no one at the Illinois branch answers. And no one from any other branch has access to my account. I am beyond frustrated by how untruthful this whole process was, how my bill grew 4 times in a single month, and by the lack of customer service by these people. I do not know what else to do. I have tried everything and no one ever responds, emails me back, or calls me back.

    Original Review: Dec. 7, 2018

    My family just had a horrible experience with Just Energy on December 5, 2018. Our power was cut off because Just Energy wrongfully switched us over from our main energy provider when we decided to not finalize the energy agreement on Nov. 30th, 2018. We were approached on Nov. 27th by an energy provider and was told about Just Energy. This individual told us that we had 3 days to decide on the energy agreement and that we can call to just cancel. I called on Nov. 30th to cancel the agreement and was told that the agreement was cancelled and that there was nothing to worry about.

    However, I found out this week that an account was made for us and that it was active. I called again on Dec. 5th to finally cancel the account because it was not cancelled as promised on Nov. 30th. I was NOT told that Just Energy switched us to their energy service so because I cancelled the account, our electricity got turned off. When this happened, I called Oncor and they told me that on Nov. 30th, the day I called to cancel the agreement for the account, Just Energy switched us from our original energy provider.

    I need to know why this happened? Why was the agreement not terminated as requested, especially when we were told that we had 3 days to decide on the agreement? Why was an active account made for us? Why were we switched over? This would not have happened if the agreement was cancelled when originally contacted. I also have confirmation numbers for the calls that I made to Just Energy on Nov. 30th and Dec. 5th because I want to report this unethical issue. To be home with my family and have the house blackout was shocking. I will be waiting for an explanation, thank you for your time.

    I received my annual renewal notification which had 2 options of rates for 12 mos and 24 mos. Both were much higher than what I could get at a competitor, so I called to negotiate. Retention dept offered me an excellent rate, which I confirmed with them multiple times because it was so good. When the contract rolled over, the rate was set at the original 12 mos option from the offer letter. I have been trying to get this fixed for quite some time now, and have been hung up on multiple times while on hold waiting for “the person that could fix this”.

    Everyone I have spoken to can see the rate I was offered by the retention dept in the notes, but none can make the change, and I have also been told that it is just too low to be sustainable. I have also been told before that it was under investigation and I would have to wait several days for resolution, only to find out on this most recent call that there was not an open investigation. I am now waiting on a supervisor to review the calls and confer with management to see what can be done. Anything other than the rate that was offered by their retention department is a classic bait and switch and is fraud. This experience is completely unacceptable.

I told her that it doesn't read that if I don't sign up both, I won't get the card. So, I haven't gotten anything. She said there's nothing she can do about it. Their advertisement is not clear. My issue is the electric, and that's the one they have never signed me up for. That was the one I needed the rate change with since my gas bill in the wintertime is minimal.

    My wife and I were in Sam's and were approached by a Just Energy representative. The representative made it sound like we could save money and as I am retired and on limited income. I decided to try them. They said they would pay 150.00 of my 200.00 early cancellation fee. I was told I would have a period of time to cancel with no questions asked. When I received the contract by email there were some things on it that was not represented to me. I called the number listed and talk to a very nice man who assured me it would be correct on the bill. I asked him if there was another plan that would fit me better but again assured he thought this was a good plan. When we got our first bill I was in shock.

    Immediately called Just Energy and told them I wanted to cancel and go back to my old provider. After discussing the situation with the representative he told me what I needed to tell my old provider so I would not go without electricity in case of an overlap. I set it up with my old provider and they said because it had only been a few weeks they would not charge me the early cancellation of the contract. After a few weeks of not hearing from either company I called my old provider and was told that Just Energy denied the change. I too was told that if at any time I wanted to cancel with Just Energy all I had to do was give them notice first. So how can any company deny when I have canceled my service with them???

    I called Just Energy and the representative could not believe this had been done and said the records showed it was denied because they thought it was a good contract. I do not care what they thought I no longer wanted their services. By this time I had another bill that was more than double the first bill which I had paid. I canceled again and have tried to talk to so many people about the bill and they either say they cannot do anything or they will call me back which they never do. Hence they turned me over to a collection agency. When I explained what was going on they gave me a number to contact someone else which has ended with them saying they cannot help me. I cannot get information to talk to the higher ups.

    Back to getting service with my old provider. Because by this time it had been too long to take me back as a current customer they had to open my account as a new customer and their policy is to collect a deposit and the 200.00 dollar early cancellation fee from old account. Thankfully knowing the whole situation they worked with me. JUST ENERGY will NOT work with me at all and I do not know how to contact someone will more authority that will truly listen to this mess and help clear it up. The bill is absolutely ridiculously high and as I stated I am a retired and changed to Just Energy in good faith hoping to save money and the complete opposite happened.

    I and my housemate have used service from Just Energy for the last 12 months but we only use gas for winter which is between the end of October and April. Everything seems to be fine until we stop using gas during summer. Every time we received the bill for amount of gas that we never used, we contacted the company immediately to provide them actual meter and ask them to cancel the bill, refund us the money. It has happened for 3 times and the third is the worst ever. I have never experienced such a bad service in my entire life.

    I called the customer service to provide them real meter reading, emphasized that it has been 3 times that the money was deducted from the bank account for what we never used. They deducted more than 100e from the bank account and I have called 5 times and emailed one more time in nearly two month and I still don't get my money back. The first time I called, they promised but the bill was not cancelled. The second time I called, they promised but nothing happened. The third time, they said sorry and ask for the meter which I already provided. I asked why and they said they want the meter on that date. It was not my fault. They did not do their job, they got the money they should not get and tell me they will not reissued bills with the meter I already provided. What kind of service is that. I had to emailed them with the meter on that date and they reissued new bill with slightly higher meter that I provided in the email, marked as real one.

    OMG I have no more word to describe my feeling anymore. From what I see from the new bill, I am supposed to get my money back after 10 days. The bill was issued from 6th Oct and now it is 21st Oct. I don't see my money at all. I definitely will fight to the last minute to get my money back and switch to a better provider as soon as I can. This is the worst company and service provider I have ever seen. Bring your quality up or all customers soon will walk away just like me. Don't be fool by the cheaper rate they offer. It is not worth it compared to the time, money you have to spend to deal with their team once something like this comes up.

    Salesman came to door. He was very courteous and had proper ID along with a letter from Vectren which referenced our supplier AND look for contract expiration date (which we had already done). He explained that he was there today and today only to fix a huge problem majorly impacting my energy bill because supplier was still raising rates. All he needed was my account number. Right !? Gonna hand that over. He said I had to do this TODAY to receive the major savings of dealing directly with the energy distributor rather than the 3rd party I have a fixed cost contract with.

    After I tried to call Vectren (Sat so couldn't) and informed him I would not be doing business with him until verifying with Vectren this isn't just a Dynergy competitor, all of a sudden the "must do today - today is the deadline" lightened to "please verify on Mon and I will touch base Tue of next week". As I understand I am golden with Dynergy which I have been very happy with, until our contract is up… sounds like a duck, smells like a duck, looks like a duck...

    Just Energy continues to charge me obscene amounts of money per month, double what my neighbor is paying in an identical 750 sq ft apartment. They will not respond to my emails. I finally was able to reach a customer service agent over the phone after being on hold for thirty minutes and she was so rude and accomplished nothing. She claimed a technician was coming to look at my meter and then I never heard anything again. My neighbor's electric company is so much better, charging half of what Just Energy is and she uses way more electricity than I do. I recommend looking elsewhere if you want a bill under $140 for a 750 sq ft apartment.

    Service with Just Energy since 2012, enticed by a $70.00 Gift card - never received, after many calls they issued a bill credit of $25.00. Once the contract runs out (mine since July) they increase your rate by a huge amount (latest from 8.4c/Kwh to 20.9c/Kwh or 248% INCREASE). Since I have autopay, don’t pay attention to bills, so missed them literally stealing money from my account. End of September spoke with customer service, very apologetic, and offered 2500 points (worth $25.00 on the products they sell at inflated prices), as compensation, provided I sign up with a new contact around for 12.7c/Kwh.

    Researched other providers found 7.5c/Kwhr- 5-star rated company by “Power To Choose” immediately switched. At the same time found many reviews with others having similar experiences. The rates change they enact to long term customers who forget to renew contracts, I believe is legal extortion at its finest. Strongly recommend to anyone DO NOT CHOOSE JUST ENERGY.

    I was at Sam's Club minding my own business when a representative from Just Energy approached me. She offered me a gift card for signing up for a program, which I believed to be some kind of Sam's Club promotion. I kept asking the lady about this and she was only giving me cryptic answers. I had filled up the form with my details, but when I saw the last page of the form, I realized that she was trying to get me to switch from Consumers Energy to Just Energy. I told her that she was deceiving me and that I did not want to proceed. She lied to me that I dont need to worry since the text confirmation had not come through, so the switch would not happen. This morning I saw a mailer from Consumers Energy that I have asked to switch my provider.

    Clearly the salesperson is a fraud peddler using deceit. Just Energy may be a good company but they need to be careful about who represents them. This happened at the Sam's Club in Madison Heights, MI. I will make sure I reach out to Sam's Club as well. And of course, the first thing I plan to do is to call Consumers Energy and cancel the change. I can't believe how the common man is being defrauded so blatantly.

BUT now for some crazy reason because I didn't renew my contract on time with them they decide to charge me .20 cents kWh! My bill at the moment is $610.84! That is more than what I pay on my car. I been calling customer services since September 6, 2018 to advise them that this amount is ridiculous and I don't have the money to pay the bill. According to them, they put in a request to rerate my bill. I've called every other day to check on the status and no answer.

    As of today, September 21, 2018 they don't have an answer for me, if they will be able to rerate my bill or not. Mind you my bill was due yesterday, so now I have a bill of $610.84 plus my new bill will be coming in any day now. I'm so frustrated with this whole situation. I cannot believe that there is no way to help me out. I have being a loyal customer, never have I try to switch companies, I don't call customer service for extensions on my bill, I always pay on time and for them to treat me like this, it just blows my mind.

I decided total gas charges on each bill by MCF used and the Just Energy bill costs more per MCF of gas. I'm not happy. It may only cost me a few dollars more per bill this time of year because only my dryer and water heater are using gas but this winter when my furnace starts running it is going to cost me a lot more. I definitely want to cancel Just Energy and get my gas from Consumers Energy again. I just don't know how to get ahold of them cause my Consumers Energy bill says Just Energy on it but doesn't have a phone number on it. I guess I will be contacting my lawyer if they don't cancel me without charging me a cancellation fee because the rep promised my gas rates wouldn't go up but they did.

    What interested me about Just Energy was that they were less expensive. They didn't charge for night use between 9:00 and 6:00 in the morning. But when I first got started, they messed up on the first bill and sent me a cancellation notice. I've never had any problem getting a hold of them though, and they corrected that mistake quickly. I've had them for a couple of years now and everything was okay up until July of this year. In fact, I've enjoyed the service. But when I was on vacation, somebody went in and said I wanted to change providers. So when I got home, I got a final bill from Just Energy saying that I was gonna be charged a certain amount for breaking the contract. I didn't even have a contract. It was month-to-month. But we finally got it straightened out.

    I also asked who tried to switch providers but they said they didn't know. They gave me the the Public Utility Commission's number so after I got everything settled, I called them. They said that my service was never changed and that it was just one day. It went directly back to Just Energy. So it started to get weird. My final comment with Just Energy was to ask how much I owed. From the bill, they took $170 off which was the exit fee. I sent them a check of $102 and I haven't heard anything from them since. About a week after all that's happened, I got a Sam's card for $50, courtesy of Just Energy.

I realized looking through my bank account they were charging me .24 cents a kilowatt because I didnt resign my contract in May of 2018. I never received a letter or a phone call, they say they sent a letter but I never received so instead of trying to call me and asking me to resign they just start charging me more than double what I was paying which is .24 cents so I went from .11 cents to .24 cents. That shows how disrespectful and greedy this company is. All they keep saying is we sent a letter, are you kidding me. I will dispute this until they make it right by giving me my money back or by giving me credit. Very disappointing.

I think the man finally understood what I was asking for but said he cannot help me until next month. I told him I would call back, just make a note on my account. He then proceeded to tell me that I must pay the bill right this minute.

    I told him when a bill is in front of me that I can view I will pay it. He said that's unacceptable. And if I should have known my bill was going to be due at the end of the month. Mind you my automobile insurance is due on the 20th, my cell phone bill is due on the 22nd, my electric bill is due on the 10th. How on Earth am I to know that this company runs their bills from the first day to the last day of the month. I assume 30 days after I signed up I would get my first bill. Which is right around this time. I think this is a scam, who would even have an option in their system to not send bills to people? This is a way to get extra money from people.

He proceeds to tell and show me (quickly, like a fake cop on a TV show flashing a badge,) all the people in my building who have been complaining about wanting lower bills. (I am at this point assuming this is someone associated with my building.) I told him that this wasn't a good time as I just sat down for lunch and basically was suckered into an account by being told that I'd save SO MUCH MONEY (in comparison to one meal - yes, he said that,) and that it wouldn't take much time to get my account situated. The representative was totally aggressive, a fast talker and I am a little peeved that I even allowed some stranger to get his sales claws into me.

I was LITERALLY told that the rate he told me was a lie and my bill would have gone up. After trying to give me other probably bogus perks and promotions I still solidified my cancellation. This company should be ashamed of itself.

    I have been with Just Energy for 2 months and all I can say is stay away from this company. Like most it seems I was grabbed as was going by at Sam's. The rep asked me how much my electric bill was per kWh, I told him and he lit up with a huge smile, he couldn't wait to help me save money. I was excited, I have a big house and the TX heat can really run up a bill. I signed up right there cause his co-worker told me how low his bill was for the same house. Lo and behold two months later I am paying $200 more a month than my last provider. After talking to several reps about what I was told I got a credit, then was told my rate would be adjusted to keep me as a customer. A month same thing, I am then told that it was actually just a one time credit and they will review their training, but there was nothing that could be done for me even though I was lied to twice to get me as a customer.

    I mistakenly sent a check for $23.92 instead of $23.93. The check cleared the bank but my account was not updated. I called twice and explained the problem with no resolution. I went to the bank to declare the check stolen and proceed with a fraud investigation but the bank called Just Energy and they convinced me to give them another shot to fix this. I just got an email telling me my account is delinquent and in order to avoid penalties and fees, and being sent to collections, I need to pay (again) that bill. I am headed to the bank in the morning, and then to a lawyer if necessary, to press charges against whoever deposited my check without crediting my account.

    When I signed up with a representative at the Sam's Club, she clearly said that the rate is 14.4 cent per kwh but today I got the bill charging me 21.0 cent per kwh. They took advantage of me!! I switched from Amigo which had a rate 8.8 cent per kwh and missed the renewal date so it went up to 16.6, my bill was $722 and I was desperate for help, so I jumped at free nights and 14.4 per kwh. I asked if I could lower my rate if the rates went down. It was a definite yes! Well I got my bill, 21.0 per kwh and I now believe I made a huge mistake. Direct Energy is now at a 10.9 and free weekends. I'm looking to change.

    I looked at different suppliers on the internet and Just Energy was the lowest. They provided a three-year fixed rate for me and asked me to match the numbers but only for a period of time and after that, the numbers would change. Their team gave me everything I needed and whatever questions I needed to ask, they handed it right to me. I felt good with their customer service. If I see stuff that somebody could provide cheaper, I give Just Energy a call and weigh stuff with the other companies but so far, they are the best. They’ve done pretty good and if somebody has a problem understanding their bills or if their bills were too high, I’d look at their bills to see who their providers are and then I suggest Just Energy. They have treated me right so I share them to others.

    I had an account until today with Just Energy. My bill sky-rocked over last few months and is double last years bills so I called to investigate and I was told my rate was a monthly variable rate (August 18 rate 20.2) because my contract expired. I had no knowledge of this, was never notified and further my bills have not been viewable on their website. I can't see bills nor could I find the rate I was paying nor could I eliminate the auto pay feature as the website does not allow edits. I explained their website link to current and previous billings does not work but they were not interested in hearing this.

    I thought that someone was stealing my electric or the air conditioning was in need of repair. Turns out they were responsible. They state they notified me last November about my January contract expiration but I never received anything from them. They offered a 127.00 credit for August but this was unacceptable as they overcharged my approximately 800.00 in the last four months alone. I asked the rep to contact supervisor and requested a 300.00 credit to resign and they refused.

    I signed up for natural gas with Just Energy, through a very informative salesman who came to my door. I was very happy with the reduction in my bill but only a couple of months later they sent me a letter saying that they were changing the contract from 1000 therms per year to 100 hundred therms per year. OH HELL NO! First of all, it's a contract! How do you just arbitrarily decide to change a contract to 1/10th of the therms you were contracted for? If you're not making money, change it for every NEW customer you sign up but leave the existing contracts alone! Even changing the therms to 500 or 300 would have been more palatable and I probably would not be writing this review. Not a smart business decision Just Energy!

    Fortunately, if you call Just Energy directly to cancel, you will not have to pay your previous provider an Exit Fee. Make sure you get a confirmation number. I did have one saving grace with my experience. Both the person who sold the program and the customer service person I cancelled with were excellent representatives for their company.

Whatever I said, he did not recognize. Then, I closed the phone call. After a while this company step into my bills by giving much higher rates as they told me before (which I could not understand what they were talking about at that time). Now, I moved to another apartment, and they stuck me again, and somehow again they found my address and sent me a statement saying that either to end this with a $50 fee or to send my new account number.

I was calling end of last week and early this week but the line was busy. I had been getting 40 minutes' wait times. It also kept asking me to leave a number and for five days, I was leaving messages but nobody ever called me back. That was disappointing and a little frustrating too. That’s something they definitely need to improve on.

    Yesterday was the first time that I directly called and some young lady luckily picked up the phone. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. She walked me through the process and reinstated my account. That was very professional and customer service-oriented. But I’m still curious to know how my account got transferred.

He told me that he is with the company who provides gas to PG&E, and that they're checking in to make sure PG&E isn't overcharging consumers for the gas they (Just Energy) provide to them (PG&E). He asked me to get my energy bill to verify my rate. He also told me that he would ensure my rate was lowered. I told him that I am on a low-income plan through PG&E, and he said that I would keep my low income discount and they will lower my bill in addition. Once I found my bill he took it and called PG&E with my account number so that he could get personal information and sign me up, and I became very uncomfortable.

    I Googled Just Energy to find out that this was actually just a salesman, showed him on my phone, and I told him I would like to look into this on my own. He left me alone after that. He bothered my neighbors as well and did not give us an option to say "no thank you" or "I don't have time," just that he would be back in 15 minutes once we find our energy bills. Come to find out, through Just Energy's Wikipedia page, they have been in a lot of trouble for deceptive sales practices. Consumers also report energy bills in fact going up.

    I'm not satisfied with Just Energy because they promised to send a gift card upon sign-up, but it never came. I also have called to get my online account fixed up it still isn't fixed. I try logging in and it tells me to verify by email but my email is correct.

    I want to cancel with Just Energy. I signed up because I had my gas disconnected for a few days. My action was preventative so their service would regulate my bill and it would be cheaper. Still, I didn't see any improvement. I talked to Semco and Just Energy was more expensive than them. I feel I'm better off with Semco.

    We signed up for Just Energy being told we would "save money"... our bill increased 25% with Just Energy! (hidden fees). After a year, my job changed out of state (no covered with Just Energy) and we sold our house. The new owners did not want Just Energy and transferred service to their name to a different company. Just Energy sent us a new bill with $175 exit fee...this is ridiculous! It would be understandable if I have CHOSEN to go with another company - but I moved out of state and to a state you do not serve! In our new state Just Energy is NOT an option. Therefore they can't be my service here. When attempting to call them they have twice put me on ENDLESS holds that last hours and eventually, I just have to hang up because I have a LIFE. They do not want to do the right thing and reverse the exit fee.

    What a Horrible company. Maybe I can get your attention by calling your 800 number 1000 times a day with an autodialer just to cause your company to have an added expense of the 800 phone connect fees. Or maybe just file claims in court injunctions against you and make your attorney fee increase FAR more than the wrongly billed exit fee... WHAT A HORRIBLE COMPANY... Thank you for ruining my day and making me spend multiple days away from doing my job and costing me even more - HORRIBLE!

    My first contact with Just Energy began in August of 2017. Before then, I was paying $25 per month in gas procurement charges, so you can imagine how happy I was when a Just Energy rep rang my doorbell and told me that he would be able lower my charge to only $5.99 per month, and informed me that the other companies were overcharging their customers. Sure enough, on my November bill I was only charged $5.99, and I was a happy camper—-until today (June 22), when I received a letter from Just Energy stating that they were lowering the annual gas usage threshold from 1000 therms to a paltry 100 therms!

    In my household, one winter month already eats up over 80 therms, which means that once my gas usage goes over 100 therms for the year, I would be charged extra and my rate would change. No mention was made of this “amendment” when I initially signed up, and my Afford-a-Bill plan Letter of Authorization (contract) specifically states that the term is for 5 years, and that I would be charged a flat monthly fee of $5.99 per month.

    I thought I’d found the perfect gas supplier, but I guess I was wrong. This sounds a little like a bait-n-switch routine to me, where they lure you in with low rate to get you to sign up, and then turn right around and change the terms so that you end up paying a higher rate. I don’t know if this is considered a breach of contract or if it’s legal, but when I called Just Energy and spoke with a supervisor, she couldn’t tell me why they were doing this, but just basically said that if I didn’t agree with the change in contract terms, that I had the option to cancel my service and that they would process my request without charging an exit fee. So beware if you get a knock on your door from Just Energy.

    Having heard about Just Energy at Sam’s Club, I wanted to try it and see if my bill would change. The rep working on sales also said that signing up with them could save us some money. We've had the system now for two months and so far, I have yet to take a look at the bill and see if there is much of a difference.

    Early May my husband and I was doing some shopping at Sam's Club and a couple of guys for Just Energy had stopped. Pitched a really great offer to sign up for Just Energy, showed us the perks and even offered a $45 Sam's card. Well although I satisfied with the company and its customer service, I feel misled and lied to. I had already had an Energy provider on my account and didn’t know that signing up would cause me to owe them $100. Also it’s almost July and I never even received the $45 Sam's card. Feel ripped off in a way and I asked before signing up was it a scam to get me to sign up, they said, "No."

    Just Energy had a stand set up at a Sam’s Club and I talked to a rep there. They had pamphlets and an iPad to fill out everything. The incentive was that if I signed up for Just Energy, I would get a Sam’s Club gift card which would pretty much cover my yearly subscription to going to a Sam’s Club. So, if I signed up, Just Energy would basically give me a $45/year Sam’s Club card that I could just use to make purchases on. I thought everything had gone through just fine but there was an issue in making the transition to Just Energy from my current carrier BG Energy. They needed some more documentation and I didn’t fully understand what they needed from me. And so, I just didn’t go through with applying for everything. And I’m moving anyway in a month. So, I figured I’ll just redo it at that time.

    They are getting 1 star since 0 stars is not an option. We have had a contract with Just Energy since 2007 and up until July 2017 everything was fine. We used the product, got an invoice, paid the bill. We had always been on the budget billing option and knew EXACTLY where our account stood. The account could be reconciled each and every month, add new usage, subtract payments and agree with the outstanding balance. This, as it should be, was a user -friendly option so in case of vacation etc. the payment could be made in advance and we knew our account was always current. Once a year there was a "settlement" month where any outstanding amount was settled or any credit was left to be used up over the coming months. Sometimes at this point the monthly budget amount would change due to changes in usage but it would then remain a constant amount until the next settlement month.

    This all changed as of the June 2017 billing. This was now a new line on the statement of account "credit/debit to budget billing". Ever since this change the statement is impossible to balance... the outstanding balance keeps increasing, the budget amount changes and repeated calls to customer service resolve nothing. In October of 2017 we attempted to pay the outstanding balance. The response was to lower the budget billing amount. Another call to customer service... My outstanding balance is growing by the month, I ask about a settlement month. They inform me there isn't one. I ask "When am I ever going to catch up on the outstanding balance." The response is "NEVER". I am very disappointed in their new system for billing and "NEVER" will arrive in 2020 when our contract expires.

    At that time, by my rough calculation, we will owe about $2500.00. We will be looking for a company that offers at the very least a bill that can be understood and reconciled with a budget amount that remains constant. After all, isn't that the whole idea of budget billing. With the rising cost of utilities comprising a significant part of our household budget we find this new billing method very confusing to us as customers. I also was not thrilled about the $2.00 charge per month for a paper statement. With the carbon tax added and increasing distribution/delivery costs this was another unwelcome charge each month. On one of my many calls to customer service we discussed this charge. The representative assured me this charge could be deleted from further bills and/or we could choose to access our account online.

    We opted to be able to access our account online. Many attempts to register for online viewing proved futile. Another call to customer service... the $2.00 for billing has been deleted but I am not receiving bills and cannot access them online. I then find out the website on the account statement is not really the one I need to be using??? Really??? Could they make it any more complicated... That answer is... YES. They can. I finally get on the proper website, no apology, no explanation from the service rep... just matter-of-fact. This is the website you need. Register and log-in to our account. I am a very unsatisfied customer.

    In the summer of 2017, Just Energy had a booth/table at HEB in Sugar Land on Highway 6. Just Energy was promoting an electricity plan of "Free Nights 9 pm-7 am and a rate of 9.3kwh." They were handing out cards with this info on it. I still have the one they gave me. I signed up with Just Energy through the use of an IPAD. Somehow, the IPAD converted my plan to something else. Just Energy made a bunch of excuses and said that I signed for the Free Nights 9.3 promotion and that the bait and switch contract would get fixed. I then started dealing with a supervisor who eventually cut my bill in half in the beginning to try and fix the problem. Her name is Elena **. She acknowledged in emails that my issues needed to get fixed and that Just Energy didn't have a program to determine how much electricity was used at night versus during the day.

    This October 2017 email is the last email she sent until May 2018. "I totally agree with you, the fix is taking way to long. My sincere apology, I’m still waiting for the new product (bundled Nights Free). At this time, if you provide me some more time ill waive half of your last invoice ($198.08 /2 = $99.04). Thoughts…" The whole marketing campaign appears to be a scam to get people to sign up and then bait and switch the customer and then try to wear him down with delays. After disappearing for 7 months, Ms. ** emailed the following: "I received your message and have your account flagged. I’ve been out of pocket, my apologies for the late note. I can give you a call tomorrow, what is a good time for you?"

    She never called. I have made 2 or 3 calls to Just Energy since that email and have been told that a supervisor will call me back. As of right now, a supervisor has not returned my calls. I talked to a supervisor today who said she would call me back by 1:00 pm. Hopefully she will call me back. I do not recommend this company. As of today, I don't know what HEB's connection is to this company other than HEB let them inside their store to promote the "Free Nights and 9.3."

    I have been with Just Energy for quite a while now. I did not have a problem with the company until a few months ago. I never had a problem recommending them to friends and family before now, but I'm seriously thinking of accepting an offer from a company that helps my community. I transferred my services to my new home in March. I was doing month to month and as I spoke with the saleswoman she convinced me to sign up for a contract. I didn't have a problem with this. Plus I was excited that I was blessed to be able to have them transferred the next day. Well I explained to the lady that the lights would be turned off at my old address 3 days later on the 21st at the old address. Well a month and a half later as I'm streaming through my emails, I see that I'm getting weekly updates for the old address.

    It's been a month and half and you think I'm going to pay for services for someone else at a resident that I am no longer residing? It was supposed to be investigated but I see the account is still open for that address and another old address where I never moved in because the house was not livable, and once again I was told the services were definitely discontinued. I paid for the few days that it was on because the company that tried to rent out the house used energy for the 2 or 3 days it was in my name... And surprise.!! Another 53 dollar bill... How can I be charged for 2 residences when I only reside at one, and I paid the bills for both old addresses in March to have a clean slate and nothing jeopardizing me having to pay a deposit... I'm scratching my head on this one. 03/15/2018 $162.08 Credit Card (old residence). 03/07/2018 $188.54 Credit Card (old residence). 03/15/2018 $86.82 Credit Card (unlivable residence).

Guys I am shocked seeing my bill, PG&E will charge money for transferring gas and Just Energy for Gas and at the end I am paying higher than the amount what I would have been paid without Just Energy. Can someone explain me about this, whenever I try to call Just Energy for cancellation or for any information nobody will lift phone and always same message they are on Holiday. I tried reaching them 100 times and all times they are on Holiday and luckily I tried to reach next stage. They’ll tell PG&E contact number, but no direct customer service for cancelling service, no response to emails... BEWARE.
