I had a guy show up at my door and say he was from Enbridge (my current provider) and he asked if I got my discount on my last bill. I said I don't think I did, but all my paperwork was in a file at my office. He said "Well you probably didn't as most people I have talked to on your street have not." He showed me an Enbridge Gas bill and pointed to a spot on it that should have shown where I would have gotten my discount. He said "Did your bill look like this right here" pointing a certain spot out with his finger. I said I don't believe it did and thinking about it I don't believe I got the discount. He said okay, well just sign right here and we'll put the discount on your next bill. I signed a piece of paper with Enbridge as a header.
Then I get a call from Direct Energy wanting to discuss my new contract about 3 weeks later. I had no idea what they were talking about and told them so, and they said I had signed a contract. I asked her to mail me a copy of this so called contract. A week later, I got the contract, which was what I signed, but now no longer sporting the Enbridge Gas header and wording was changed. I was fuming. I called Direct Energy and blasted them and threatened them with charges and they backed down and said they were sorry and it was all a misunderstanding.
Pretty sad. So be careful what you sign. It may look legit, but if Enbridge was going to give you a discount, I guess they would know if they did or not wouldn't they
