Verde Energy USA Inc.

Complaint:
I am rejecting this response because: Notification letter was never received as MrMenchaca claims, I have all documents and bills for last 2+ years on file
Verde Energy Customer Service was extremely difficult to reach by phone, had to wait over minutes on several attempts to cancel my service with them
Requested refund of overpayment for last months, offered much less
Verde Energy website is called "lowcostpower.com", yet the rates I was charged were more than double what my Electric company was charging
My Feb electric bill was $due to Verde Energy's ridiculous rate of $.1813, March and April rates were even higher, $.11/kw more than local power company
How are they saving me money by overcharging me?
Sincerely,
Andrew Rudowski

Replied directly to customer via e-mail dated 5-12-15Dear *** ** ***This e-mail is in response to your calls to our customer service center as well as the compliant you filed with the Revdex.com Verde does not determine the cancel date, the utility does, and it is based on your
billing cycle not your next meter read Your utility did notify us your drop date was 4-24- Verde Energy is no longer your energy supplierYou did in fact notify Verde of your desire to cancel with us on March 18thHence, it took only one full billing cycle as you were informed it would from March 18th to April 24th. You were refunded to the lowest fixed rate we are currently offeringThe rate refund of $ sent to you previously represents the only refund we are able to process Best,*** ***Customer Support | Verde Energy USA*** *** * * *** *** * *** ** ***

This email is in response to the complaint you filed with the Revdex.comI have searched our database for incoming calls and have found only one call to our customer service center on March 3rd and that call was only to cancel your account.
I have looked up your account and see that your 3-month fixed rate expired on 12/25/At this time, Verde is not required to contact ** customers when their rate is about to expire. As a one-time courtesy, I have processed a $223.29 refund for the difference in rate to our fixed rate on your most recent billYou should get that check within business daysI am unable to adjust your rate to the fixed rate, as your Verde Energy Account was cancelled and the last day you were with Verde will be 3/26/15, so when you receive your final bill with Verde on it, please reply to this email and I will issue you the final refund for the difference from the variable rate your last bill will charge, to our fixed rate*** ***

Revdex.com:I appreciate that Verde adjusted my rate to .1399, which is down from .1999. I appreciate Verde issued a credit of $to my accountI appreciate that Verde sent me two rebate checks in the amount of $each. I was alerted to the large discrepancy between Verde's rate and *** rate for supply by the *** Customer Service rep I spoke to yesterday. He advised me to cancel my account with Verde. So I cancelled my Verde account yesterday but it may take up to days for the change to go through
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me

I spoke with MsSmith today and she is sending me a recent bill so we can review this and resolve

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:I did not receive the notice and I have had months or 3,kWh of exorbitant charges against my account and have yet to revive my final bills If my final bills are locked in to the lower rate then I will accept the resolution suggested.
Sincerely,*** ***

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:The rate that the company changed to is too highIf *** does not require notification of an upcoming change in rate, I'll take that up with the stateHowever, Verde energy is charging an extremely high rate for the electricity provided in the state of *** after their initial offer expires.
This is a quote directly from the companies website. Electric rates have consistently decreased for all Verde Energy USA homes and businessesThis is not trueMy rate almost doubledHow is that truth in advertising?
