  On August 15, $228.78 was taken out of my account by **********************. I have enclosed emails to explain the situation and their response. I closed my account in January2025 and have not received any bills until August 2025 when they deducted the money from my account without my knowledge. They started billing me again in July 2025. I did not see the email at that time or else I would have addressed it sooner. I have enclosed screenshots of my account taken on August 15, 2025 that clearly shows my account says Inactive and Reactivate. Why would it say that if as per Arcadia my account has been active since February?You can also see that there were no charges to my account since March ******* until it resumed on July 17 of 2025. Arcadia refuses to listen to why I called in February. They insist I reactivated my account when in reality I called to pay off the random February bills they sent after I closed and settled my account in January. The Arcadia *** did disclose to me in February that I was due for one more billing cycle, which is why you see March on my account. I left ****** in January 2025 because they have irregular billing practices. They email you and take your money out the same day at all different times of the month any day of the week anytime they feel like it. I live paycheck to paycheck. I need to budget my money very carefully and that is why I canceled services in January to begin with. I asked them to pull the recording from February where they say I reactivated my account. I want to hear the recording of that conversation because that is not true at all. Do you think they provided me with the recording? Of course not.When I explained all of this to the supervisor on the phone on 8/15/25 she couldve cared less. I then sent emails to Arcadia with the same proof Im sending to you and theyre insisting that I'm lying. It is Arcadia that is lying and deceiving and committing fraud and theft. Thank you for your time and helping me with this issue.

  Thank you for bringing Caysels complaint to our attention. We completely appreciate their concerns surrounding their account and hope that we are able to shed some light on the cancellation/reactivation and refund.

  Caysel requested their Arcadia cancellation on 01/03/2025. It takes a period of 90 days to process un-enrollment from Community Solar due to the administrative processing timeline to complete. The Arcadia cancellation was instead completed on 01/21/2025 due to a payment decline. Caysel contacted us on 02/28/2025 in order to reactivate the plan, update method of payment, and process the payment that had previously declined.

  Multiple emails were sent to Caysel after the reactivation of the plan. These emails included details such as information on the Community Solar farm they were assigned to, Arcadia statements, and payment confirmations. The 07/17/2025 email was not opened by ****** until ****** but the payment confirmation email was sent on 07/20/2025 and opened the same day. Caysel spoke with a supervisor on 08/15/2025 and addressed Caysels concerns over the phone call. As a special case, the 90 day cancellation period was waived and the account was canceled on 08/15/2025. A refund is not applicable in this case due to the fact that Caysel received the credits on their utility bill, were in accordance with the agreement the customer accepted at the time of sign up, with the savings amount applied.

  Caysel may continue to receive Community Solar credits on the electric utility bill 90 days from 08/15/2025, but will not be billed for them, meaning more savings will be received. Additionally, a dispute was made for the ****** charge. It was communicated to Caysel that when a charge is disputed, the charge is placed in a dispute hold and the transaction cannot be refunded. However, if their bank decides the dispute in your favor, the charges will be returned to them.

  Should Caysel or the Better Business Bureau wish to discuss this further, we can be reached at ******************************** or call us at ************** between 8am and 7pm EST, Mondays through Fridays.

  Arcadia continues to bill my accout to the tune of $600+ every month despite my request to stop the charges and cancel the ****************************** presented to me as a community solar provider and that it would save me a lot of money over the years.They started out charging less than $50 per months over a year ago and now the transactions are $575+ ********** monthly electric bill never exceeded $150 for the last 7 years I have lived in this home.Talking to my electric utility company, I have a credit of over $3000 due to solar. BUT - I do not need a $600+ bill monthly only to get credit that I cannot *********** I requested the account be closed and all automatic withdrawals terminated.They will not terminate the withdraws despite the request on their recorded lines and confirmation with supervisors.I am in a bind since the utility company states they have no relationship/control over Arcadia. I do not want to have to cancel a card I have had for years.

  I am trying to cut my losses with Arcadia Solar *** which I signed up for in March 2025. I believe their solicitations for sign up were deceptive. My main complaint is that there was NO CLEAR WARNING that if you were already signed up with a solar company, you should NOT sign up for a second one. Rather than receiving a greater discount with two companies like I was led to believe, you in reality are double billed. In other words, I signed up by mistake. When I realized this problem existed due to the large bills I received from multiple solar companies, I dropped Arcadia. Unfortunately they have a 90 day cancellation period which I have to wait for. I have had many communications with Arcadia about the problem and they have always responded. Their representative acknowledged this problem but has not honored my request to at least waive the 90-day cancellation period, or better yet, to refund the $929.18 I have paid so far. (7/17/25- $294.50, 6/26/25- $248.15, 6/7/25- $386.53). These bills are for electricity I've already paid another solar company for and I'm sure I will receive more bills in the next few months. Here is Arcadia's 7/17/25 response to my complaint: "Thank you for your honest feedback. To clarify: Arcadia does not intentionally withhold information, but we recognize that the messaging around dual enrollment could have been clearer. Your point about the lack of a strong warning against enrolling with multiple solar providers is valid, and we are actively working with our team to improve that clarity moving forward. Your cancellation is in progress and will be completed on schedule. Best regards,******* *********** Advisor | Arcadia" I imagine you have received this complaint from others. In any case, I feel unfairly trapped and it feels like I have been scammed. If you feel I have a case, I will gladly upload bills or communication to back up my claim. Thank you **** *******

  Arcadia contacted me and said they will cancel my account that I made it in 2024 and that indeed their service shows up somewhere on my CMP bill.  I am happy that they are cancelling it. At least they seem legit and responded to me.  thanks for your oversight. I'm sorry if I wasted anyone's time.

  I noticed on my Ameren bill there were charges for renewable generation I contacted Ameren and they told me to contact Arcadia. I talked to a lady and she told me Ive been a customer with ********************** since 2023. I told her I never signed up with them. For the past 3 months Ive been charged an additional charge for solar. The first one was 4/8/25, 5/8/25, 6/6/25. I canceled it on 6/9/25 but the lady told me it takes 90 days to cancel and I would have to pay the renewable generation fee until my account is officially closed. She also said she would send me a email stating I canceled and I have yet to get one. I asked for a refund because I didnt sign up with them and she said I cant get a refund because it has already been collected

  Thank you for bringing Sarahs complaint to our attention. We completely appreciate their concerns surrounding their account and hope that we are able to shed some light on the charges shown on their utility bill and the cancellation period. 

  On 11/28/2024, ***** was enrolled on the ****************** Community Solar project through Arcadia. Through Community Solar, ***** is set to keep a 10% portion of the total value generated by their spot on the Community Solar project. The remaining 90% is owed to the Community Solar farm for project operation costs and is thus billed through their Ameren bill as a subscription fee. The Community Solar credits will always be higher than the subscription fee. An example of this billing experience would be that if the Community Solar credit is in the amount of $100, the subscription fee would be $90 because the customer gets to keep 10% of the Community Solar credit, in this example being $10.

  ***** requested their Arcadia cancellation on 06/09/2025. It takes a period of 90 days to process un-enrollment from Community Solar due to the administrative processing timeline to complete. A confirmation email was sent on 06/09/2025 indicating we have initiated the 90 day cancellation period.

  Should ***** or the Better Business Bureau wish to discuss this further, we can be reached at ******************************** or call us at ************** between 9am and 5pm EST, Mondays through Fridays.

  I am rejecting this response because: the lady that I talk to that day, kept insisting that I signed up for Arcadia in 2023. Ive never talk to them people that come knocking on your door trying to say that you can save money on your electric bill. Ive never received an email nor a piece of mail stating I was in Arcadia and that or I was getting put in for a solar subscription. Its not right to be not informed if there is an additional charge on your Ameren bill for a solar subscription that you have no knowledge about.
  
  Sincerely,

  Thank you for bringing Sarahs response to our attention. We completely appreciate their concerns surrounding their account and hope that we are able to shed some light on the sign-up process and the notices provided with enrollment.

  Signing up with Arcadias Community Solar program has several steps that require the customer's participation and knowledge to complete. Once the steps are completed for the enrollment process, a welcome email is sent. All updates and notices regarding Community Solar from Arcadia are provided electronically, meaning the information is sent via email. The customer has received and opened several emails from Arcadia since signing up. Those emails also include information on the billing experience and enrollment in a Community Solar project.

  There is no additional charge to be a part of Community Solar at Arcadia. ***** is a part of the utility billing experience, which means that their electric utility company manages the Community Solar portion along with their utility charges. The Community Solar credits will always be higher than the subscription fee shown on the bill, ensuring a 10% savings.

  I am rejecting this response because: I have not received any emails from the beginning of all this. Because if I wouldve, I wouldve canceled it a long time ago I just wanna make sure that Im canceled out of it within the 90 days so I dont have to pay for something that Im not using or for somebody else to use. I live in ********** and having an additional fee on my Ameren bill is exceptionally hard for me to pay so just please make sure its canceled within the 90 days because Im not gonna keep going back-and-forth with all this.

  Arcadia is failing to release us from a 90-day cancellation clause after a material breach of contract on their part. Arcadia was responsible for the timely payment of our utility bill with *******************. Arcadia failed to process our utility payments from September 2024 until I became aware at the end of February 2025 and made the past due payment myself. Arcadia failed to notify us that our payments were not being processed and because all billing information went directly to Arcadia we received no notice from CMP, it was pure luck that I logged into our CMP account before our power was shut off. In February I requested to cancel due to this severe failure to uphold the terms of our contract and Arcadia has refused to both cancel our contract immediately and also remove billing information on file. They have continued to process payments even after being made aware that the bill has already been paid by us directly. Somehow, even though we have changed all of our billing information for our CMP account to remove ********************** completely as well as disconnected our linked account through the ********************** website, they are still gaining access to our CMP bills. Arcadia has been made aware multiple times that we are no longer authorizing them to make payments on our behalf due to their significant breach of contract and that legally they are unable to enforce the 90-day clause but they are refusing to comply. Additionally, they are misrepresenting our services with them - they are claiming the reason we are unable to cancel immediately is due to our enrollment in community solar effective 7/2024; however, our account reflects that we are currently still on a waitlist for a farm that did not even begin operation until 12/2024. To date we have received no credits for community solar and this seems like an invalid excuse.

  In their email, the business claimed that the reason for not processing my utility payments without any communication for 5 months was due to an issue with payment -- they are correct in the fact that I received a new credit card in September and was emailed that my payment was not processed; however, as can be backed up by my bank statements, as soon as I received that email I made the payment and was under the impression after the payment confirmation that I was all set. There was no further communication from them -- nothing to alert me that there was still an issue or that they were no longer processing my payments. All billing communication from my utility company, per Arcadia's request, is routed through them directly so they continued to receive my statements without alerting me to the fact that they were no longer handling payment. 
  
  When I first emailed in (February) to discuss the issue, I was told by an Arcadia representative that there was a "system error" and that's why my payments were not processed. I requested in writing to take over handling my own payments from that point -- in the Arcadia contract, it states that a customer may be removed from automatic payments provided they make the request in writing. After several statements that I would be handling my own billing they still failed to remove me from automatic payments, even after being made aware that I had already processed my payments manually, which was a violation of their own contract. There was no mention of a payment issue until after I had already disputed the payment with my credit card company and initiated a complaint with the BBB, which does make me question the validity of the explanation. 
  
  There are a few other explanations from them that don't make sense regarding the community solar program -- I had received 0 credits from it prior to my email requesting to cancel, and they stated the 90 day period to was to remove me from the community solar program that I hadn't received any credit for. Then suddenly I began receiving bills for it (while I have yet to see any credits on my utility) after I had already requested to cancel, so it's almost as if I only started the program after I had already requested to end it as a way to keep me roped in for the full 90 days. They said I had been enrolled since July but that the credits hadn't been reported from the solar farm yet which seems implausible because I was still listed as on a waiting list for a solar farm that hadn't opened until December. 
  
  Hoping this information helps back up the fact that, even if there was a billing issue, it was not handled responsibly, they were not forthcoming/offered inconsistent explanations as to what took place and, more importantly, still failed to honor their own contract for 2 months after repeated requests to cease automatic payments. 
  
  As of now I am not sure what the status is as I did receive a confirmation that I was no longer enrolled in autopay but I have not received any further communication regarding the status of my account. I did offer a compromise to cease insisting on immediate termination and see out the 90 day cancellation period provided they no longer process payments so maybe that's what they're doing...? 
  
  Please let me know if you need any documentation for this. 
  
  Thank you for your help with this and have a great day!

  Thank you for bringing ******* complaint to our attention. We completely appreciate their concerns surrounding their account and hope that we are able to shed some light on Community Solar timelines and crediting.

  ****** signed up for Arcadia on 1/2/2019. Their Arcadia Auto-Pay enrollment, for the management of their monthly Central Maine Power (CMP) bill payments through Arcadia, was finalized on 1/7/2019. All ************ bill payments issued for their account from that point were set to be managed through Arcadia. 

  On 7/24/2023, ****** was initially enrolled on the ************************* Solar project through Arcadia. Through Community Solar, ****** is set to keep a 10% portion of the total value generated by their spot on the Community Solar project. The remaining 90% is owed to the Community Solar farm for project operation costs and is thus billed through their Arcadia statements. 

  Community Solar project development can be delayed due to construction delays and the time it takes to ensure a project is synced to its appropriate electric utility so that savings generated can be applied to bills. At that point, *********************** credits began being produced, but the application of these savings credits were delayed on their CMP bills until 10/31/2023. They have been receiving credits since that time. Those credits can be seen on their CMP bills under the Allocated Generation section of the My Generation table of their bills. 

  On 7/02/2024, ****** was enrolled on the ********************** Solar project through Arcadia. 

  The 90 day cancellation period is the time it takes for the solar developer and utility company to fully process a customers un-enrollment from a Community Solar project. This timeline accounts for each accounts specific billing cycle, as well as the amount of time it takes for the utility to cease applying solar savings to a customers account. This cancellation timeline was presented in Community Solar Subscription Agreement, agreed to at enrollment on 12/17/2020. ******* cancellation was requested on 2/25/2025 and began the 90 day cancellation period. However, their Arcadia account was then canceled immediately on 4/28/2025 as a special case, bypassing the standard 90 day cancellation period for Community Solar in *****. No future billing will occur through Arcadia. 

  Should ****** or the Better Business Bureau wish to discuss this further, we can be reached at ******************************** or call us at ************** between 9am and 5pm EST, Mondays through Fridays. Which is presently listed on her CMP bill under Allocated Generation

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. While I do have some disagreements regarding their response as well as concerns regarding their lack of communication (they had not notified me that my account had been officially canceled) I am happy to at least have my account closed and at this point am not interested in disputing the details further.

  I randomly got a letter welcoming me to their solar program. I never signed up for this, I have no idea how they got my info, I contacted them repeatedly to cancel my membership and they blatantly refused to do so. Now I have extra charges on my electric bill and I cant get anything done about this.

  Island sales *** approach me at my home and when I answered the door they told me that their company was completely free and that due to government subsidies I would be getting free solar all I would need is to sign their contract give my name and credit card and I would actually earn money from the government from the solar production. I now have a bill outstanding with them and they're going to continue to charge me for the next 90 days

  I signed up with this solar project in July 2023, anticipating lower energy bills. However, my electric and gas provider continued to charge me my regular amount. Arcadia was deducting monthly payments and not providing its energy portion. Essentially, I was double billed. When I tried to cancel on October, they told me it took 90 days, then sixty days. This past December, I was billed three times before I told my bank to stop all payments to Arcadia. I believe that I have been scammed. I paid for nothing, no energy credits or lower bills from my primary provider.

  I used Arcadia for their community solar program. They now sent me a bill for a year ago that they had some sort of error in their billing amount for an additional $600 over what I had previously paid for the electricity. I think this is just a scam trying to get some extra money from unsuspecting customers.
