UNIVERSAL GAS AND ELECTRIC Commerce Energy Universal Gas and Commerce Energy same scam Southfield, Michigan

I signed the contract in 2007 (5 year contract) and figured I was covered under the lawsuit.  I called Universal Gas and Electric and told them so. They said, NOPE, you have to pay the $250 dollars.  They said, only a handful of people were covered under that lawsuit.  I said, WELL, I believe I am one of them! Do I have to file a complaint? He said, do what ever you want, but YOU WILL pay the $250 dollars. I said, I think NOT.

I called The state of Michigan Public Service Commission> 800-292-9555  and they said at first That I would have to pay. But when I explained how they lied and did not give me any information until over 30 days, just a paper to sign.  They said, I could file a formal complaint over the phone. GUess what?  I DO NOT have to pay the $250 dollars!! YEAHHHHHH   When these people come to your door and tell you that you current provider is going to go up 250% and you can get the lower price, if gas goes down, and lie to you like that, then you don't have to pay.  I just canceled them, and I am waiting the one or two billing cycles (KEEPING my heat very very very low,Lower then I did last year,  because I will be darned if I pay them the kind of money I paid them last yr. while I froze in my own home) The MPSC  sent me a letter stating that I DO NOT have to pay that $250 fee. SO PLEASE, file a formal complaint. If the MPSC tries to tell you NO, tell them you want to file a formal complaint. IT is your right as a USA citizen. :)   That is what the MPSC is there for.  They can not limit your complaint to people of 2007,and 2008 if you have a legal complaint.

HOW dare they try and charge you to switch TO THE SAME COMPANY YOU ARE ALREADY WITH, what a SCAM!!!!
