So I can't be the only person on here who despises these people and the companies they work for, right? A lot of times you'll hear the expression "hate is too strong a word". Well, in my case it's not strong enough. I don't just hate these companies, I despise them. I detest them. I wish for bad things, short of death and injury, on those who profit from them and who put their practices into place.
Forget the fact the actual savings are minimal or non-existent. I won't fault someone for trying to make a buck. They blatantly lie and say they represent other companies, they're dishonest about their need to check your info and they won't take no for an answer. They're just awful, downright terrible people.
In the last five years I've seen no less than 20 visits from them to my house. I've tried everything from listening to their spiel to politely explaining why I'm not interested. I've asked them to remove me from their list, I've slammed the door in their face, I've pulled the "you caught me in the middle of ___" routine. None of it works. They won't leave well enough alone and they'll pull the same shit a few months down the road.
This isn't the way to do business. If your product or service is legitimate you don't operate this way. Frankly, I'm somewhat surprised it's even legal. The utilities commission or some state regulatory boards needs to put an end to this.
So this is a thread to vent. Tell me your stories. Let it out. I honestly think we ought to form a group of people to the houses of all of decision makers of these companies and pester them 24/7. Go to their headquarters every single day pitching bs. **** Direct Energy, First Energy, and every other one of these companies. I hate you so, so, so much!!!!
