Looking to screw you!

(1.8 / 5)

  Rates aren't much better than PPLs, but with the offered rebates they are less. Problem is rebate process is a huge hassle. Mailing is obsolete, but the only option they offer in order to request a rebate, as opposed to offering the ability to request online, or just paying when you meet the criteria. They claimed my rebate was never received from USPS and now w/o t pay the rebate since if changed suppliers. Avoid these butthats.

did not fulfill contract

(1.6 / 5)

  Signed up with direct energy in January 2025 over the phone. Received my contract in the mail, but they never followed through. I contacted them and have simply asked them to honor my contract. I called on April 21 and sent direct energy a copy of the contract. One month later they still have not honored the contract.

What happended?

(1.6 / 5)

  Recently Ohio Edison updated their website, phone system etc and now it's awful. Website is down or glitchey. It now taked 5 more clicks to get any where on the site. The new payment system charge fees for everythign unless you set up autopay, which is a pita to do. Get locked out of the website and have to call ony to have the new awful automated system it took me 12 minutes ot get though tell me the wait is 40-59 minutes. But don't worry! They ll call me when its my turn. I have never before had any issues with the website, making payments FREE PAYMENTS, call into customer service. Now everything is awful.

False Contracts

(1.6 / 5)

  I signed up for a 3 month term do to a short term lease and I was informed that a 3 month contract isn't a 3 month contract it is a 3 month billing cycle term. They had no issues in trying to get me to renew and pushed on that heavily. I am not sure when a 3 month contract turned into a 3 billing cycle term, so be sure to look out for that. Do not recommend since whatever you sign doesn't mean what you actually get.

Rewards prgram is misleading at best

(1.6 / 5)

  The sign up for the provider is a bit misleading at best. They have a rewards program. It does give you credit per se. But only for mostly online deals that amount to not much and the $100 credit reward is thought to be a cash credit. But is a really online entries credit to possibly win something.
