Did a stupid thing, SIGNED with Just Energy
I still can't believe I did this, I so pissed off at myself. I never like signing any kind of contract but this time I fell for it.
On Saturday Nov 10 around 6 pm two guys from Just Energy showed wanting me to sign up with them. After they looked at my current bills they showed me how much money I would be saving. I told them I didnt want so sign anything until I did my homework, they said you can cancel the contract without penalty if I so choose to with in 10 days, I believe. So I was like OK. Of course they got me to talk to their office right away to go over the contract which I agreed (I didn't know anything about that if was bad idea or not I just thought that's the way they do things).
After they left I looked at my gas and energy bill through out the year closely, I found out gas bill would me more then what I am used to paying. So am like OK I am going call and cancel, but then all I keep finding out it may not be as simple as I thought since I singed the contract and confirmed over the phone.
Under the contact that I signed under essential agreement information under I,h it states:
I have the right, by law, to cancel this Contract (by phone, fax, email or registered mail) without cost or penalty within 10 days of it being received by Just Energy. I understand that Just Energy extends my cancellation right to 30 days for the date of my first bill under this Contract.
So I already send them the email on Sunday that I want to cancel my cantract and I asked for confirmation number or a letter that they received my cancellation notice as it says under my cancellation rights, they gave me.
I plan calling them on today (Monday Nov 12) if they are open being stat holiday and all and do it over the phone as well and get my cancellation number (I am planning to record the conversation over the phone on my end as well for my record as well).
Here is one thing that I think I do have in my favour though, when they came to my door it was like -20 outside they kinda rushed and forgot to fill out the "signing date" and when my 5 years is up and I found out under servicealberta.ca under contract is must say when it starts. The guy did point out that my start date may take up to 90 days from the date I signed to contract but that sign in date is not filled out. But from what I could gather from servicealberta if there is no sign in date that the contract could be or it's not vaild.
Any help from you guy would be appreciated, I know I screwed up I don't know if I let my guard down or they were that good. If I can't get out with for free I think I would just pay the penalty and be done with (which could be 700 dollars) just to get this over with and be able to sleep at night as soon as possible. Thanks.
