Citizens Choice Energy DOOR TO DOOR SOLICITATION Internet

10th of Sep, 2011 by User677735

In the past 4 months I have been solicited by several "Save on Energy" companies. The latest was Citizens Choice Energy. The young man at my door was wearing a badge on a chain around neck and holding a clip board. I inquired as to what he was offering.... he stated "I could save money on my energy usage". I asked for a number to the company so I can contact myself. He stated "until you qualify, you cant contact the company" I asked how do I qualify? he asked to see my energy bill. I told him "NO you will not see my bill and could I please have a number or a card/pamphlet". He stated he had nothing to give me. A local police officer stopped to investigate the vivid conversation happening on my porch. The officer asked if young man had a pedlars licence.. response was "NO, my manager just dropped me of to work this area". Officer asked, "besides that ID badge hanging on your neck, do you have any form of ID?" response "NO". Officer removes man from my porch and walks him to patrol car, young man makes a phone call, 3 minutes later his manager arrives. officer asked a couple of questions and both were helped to back of patrol car and taken to the station. How is it that a company sends their employees door to door with no ID, no information to pass to the customer? This is a far cry from good business ethics. I have been cautioned by friends and family that the "Energy saving" companies are not forthrite with the promises made. That all though you may save a few dollars at the start, in the long run there is no real savings and that there always seems to be a conflict with the local energy supplier and the Energy saving company.
