I've been a Just Energy customer for…
I've been a Just Energy customer for 7-8 years now under my wife's name. We're separating so I was going to continue service with them and just get an account under my name. Easy peasy lemon squeezy right? WRONG!!!!!! Right off the bat, they asked for a $275 deposit which really wasn't a big deal. I paid that no sweat and proceeded to get my account set up. I finished giving them all of the information they requested at the time and I hung up. Not even an hour later they called and left me a voicemail stating that they needed a photo copy of my ID and the first and last page of my rental agreement. I provided that info as well via email to their customer service department. Afterwards I called them to make sure they had everything they needed to cut my power on. She said they did so I hung up and went on my merry way. The next day I was notified again stating that they only had a partial picture of the first page of the rental agreement and they needed the entire page. Once again I complied and sent it to them. This was done way in advance to ensure my lights were going to be on when I moved in. Like a week and a half in advance. I arrived at the house I was moving into and lo and behold the electricity had not been turned on yet. Once again I'm on the phone calling their so called customer service trying to figure out what the problem is this time I was on hold for 2 hours (not joking!). The lady said that my lights weren't cut on yet because they were still waiting on a document to be sent to them still. I informed her that I sent it over a week ago!!!!! She did some investigating and sure enough, my email containing the necessary document was in the system. She apologized for the inconvenience and assured me that my power would be turned on today. I waited all day until 6:45 P.M. CST and called customer service once again (yes I'm a glutton for punishment) and she informed me that they still needed a document in order to turn my service on. I explained to her that I sent the necessary information over a week ago and verified that the information was received the day I sent it as well as today. At this point I totally lost my cool. I'm sitting in the dark because of stupid documents that shouldn't even be necessary to begin with! I then called Reliant Energy and they said they would have my power cut on first thing in the morning with (this is the best part) NO DEPOSIT!!!!!!! Why do I need to supply them with a hefty deposit and give them my first born son in order to receive electricity?!?! Screw them. Go somewhere else for your power needs. Worst customer service ever!!!!
