IDT Energy almost TRIPLES rates in one MONTH! Rate went from 9.53 cents per kWh to 24.67 cents per hWh in One Month! Newark New Jersey

I ususally just have my Electric bill sent to my online billing.  I never look at the actual bill.  I see the amount and pay it.  This month I noticed that my bill was unusually high, so I decided to download it.  I noticed a name on the bill I didn't recognize, it was IDT, and the charge was more than double, almost triple my usual bill.  I have tried to call them, I have emailed them from their website.  First I coudn't get an answer at the number provided, then I got on eternal hold.

I called my electric company and after 30 min. of hold, I got told that IDT was my energy provider and that I had asked for them in 2012.  I said, never did.  Then Penelec said that there could change me but it would take a month. 

They said that they couldn't do anything about the rate change from 9.53 cents per kwh to 24.67 cents per kwh. 

I cannot believe that we can be ripped off like this.
