    Pattern of Complaint:

    Consumers have reached out to BBB alleging failure of the door-to-door sales agents to identify themselves and the company, and in several instances representing themselves as the utility company.  It has been reported that some consumers were switched to Josco Energy without their permission.

    On July 26, 2019, BBB contacted Josco Energy USA to address a possible pattern of complaints.

    Josco Energy USA provided the information below to BBB:

    “Josco Energy has or will be taking the following steps to further reduce and/or eliminate customer complaints:

    1. Terminated its relationship with the third-party marketing vendor responsible for the customer enrollments identified in the majority of the complaints
    2. Retrained third-party sales representatives to ensure Josco Energy’s quality assurance and compliance standards were being followed
    3. Implementation of a complaint incident scorecard to track complaints against marketing representatives and vendors.”

    BBB continued to monitor incoming complaints and determined the business failed to address the underlying cause for this pattern.

      Since February of 2021 me and my mother have taken over the bills of the home after my father's sudden passing. Our electric **** was behind at the time with about 2k to pay. During that time we worked hard to pay off our **** as well as get all the other bills under control. However in the last few months we have started to examine the **** more as it always seemed high no matter what. That is when we discovered we have had Josco listed as our supplier for our utilities. When speaking with ORU the agent on there said we have been paying way over market price per kWH (13 cents vs 8 cents from ORU). Additionally we began to notice that our KWH usage seems much higher than it should be. Even when we stopped using two whole freezer units and two air conditioners the watt usage as remained roughly the same. I believe this company has been scamming us not only on the price but has not been accurately reporting usage as well. Lastly upon going through my fathers files I have not found anything to indicate he signed up with Josco, there was never any folders made for the account which my father did for everything, there was no saved account info anywhere ( my father kept a spreadsheet for all his account info and passwords), and even going though his email there was never a mention about an account created for Josco. So I believe they also sign us up without our knowledge as well. From the records of bills we have we can see that they have been charging us for at least 3 years and we can only think of the money that has been wasted with this company. Even more so now without the income of one of the people in the house. On a side note I also saw ******** removed them from the ESCOs list so is even right for them to be operating in **?

      Business response

      03/03/2022

      Upon receipt of the complaint, Josco is investigating the matter. Josco made various attempts to contact the customer but we were not able to speak to the customer. ********************************************* submitted the cancellations for the accounts. The customer received electric service from ********************** from 08/18/2016 to 03/18/2022 and natural gas from 09/01/2016 to 03/31/2022. Josco Energy issued the customer the rebates on the account and a check was mailed out to the customer's residence. ********************************************* confirms this was a valid enrollment. 
      We hope this resolution resolves the customer's issue.
