      Been living at my apartment since the middle of February and have not received an electricity bill since then. Multiple other tenants have also not received a bill and we are all extremely concerned. They (Metergy) offered payment plans and a lack of penalties, but it has been months and they have not fixed their issue. The anxiety of not knowing when there being a large bill number to pay is terrible. Please note that the attached image was sent to me in May… this is taking more than a couple weeks.

      I moved into a brand new apartment building in October 2022. (**** *******) I was told I HAD to use Metergy Solutions as my energy provider. I have YET to receive a bill. It has been 10 months and they still give me the same run around. "Minor technical challenges" "We are still onboarding the meters and this has been escalated". I have called several times. I contacted the landlord with no response. Having this financial burden being unknown of how much my bill is going to be is very stressful. There are lots in this building with the same issue. This is unacceptable. I need something done.

      Metergy has been administering billing and payment for electricity for my condo since 2017. Payment has been by automatic debit. In Jan 2023 billing and debiting stopped and nothing has been received since (now Aug). The last bill received and debited in Jan has been cancelled in error and there is now a credit on the account.
      I have called cust service every month this year with no resolution. Agents claim a lack of meter readings and that they are working on the problem. Three formal investigations were reported but no resolution. Agents have no other information, no authority to escalate the situation and cannot forward me to a suprvisor.

      I have been reaching out to this company for 2 years now with zero resolution. They have never sent me my bills on time. They send bills three to four months overdue at a time and accept me to make $3000-$4000 payment due to their billing issue. I have reached out to ******** *. who apparently is their customer relations rep and yet to hear a response back. I have done all I could to get my billing issue resolved and jusy get bills on time so I'm not stuck with huge bills.

      Metergy Solutions has not properly invoiced for my suite since November 2022.
      They are now invoicing all of the bills for this time period. They have back dated a charge of $535 dollars for my suite.
      I spoke with them about a payment plan to which they agreed, but said that they would have to add late payment charges for each payment which is rather upsetting seeing how they are offering a payment plan.
      I received email confirmation for the payment plan yesterday, but this morning I received another bill advising that a balance of $535 is due on August 17, 2023 with no payment plan being involved.
      I have also not been provided with actual bills for this time and have only been provided with estimates and their website billing is showing me so many different billing amounts without explanation.
      I am extremely concerned, as I feel like I am being overcharged for electricity, and on top of that they are not providing proof of how much was used during that time. I also cannot find any information in our contract from Metergy that they are allowed to back date for electricity payments due to their own negligence of not coming out and reading the meters.
      The bills on my account show from July 21 and 24, 2023. With no actual reading attached to them or for which month.
      They also charged me an activation fee when I moved in, which I did not agree to in my lease agreement or the initial contract.
      At this point, I do not feel as if they are in the rights to be charging on estimates, back dating, and not providing accurate readings.

      Date: 11/08/2023

      We thank the customer for bringing this matter to our attention
      and have had a member of our customer relations team contact the customer to explain
      their recent bills and payment concerns. There were periods of estimation due to meter communication
      issues that Metergy is currently working to resolve. The customer has been advised
      of where they can find a disclosure of Metergys standard fees. The customer has
      been provided with the customer relations contact information for any future
      follow up.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:
      As per our lease agreement contract, we need to be billed on actual costs and not estimates. I was also advised that Metergy is going off of the province of Ontario and not Alberta when we are in Alberta. 
      the set up fee was disclosed AFTER the lease was signed and no mention prior to coming into a predetermined contract. 
      The bills are not exact and I haven’t been provided exact readings for usage, and feel as if I am being overcharged, and that the bills are not properly corresponding with the readings. It is also still showing multiple bills on the account for August 14, August 17, and August 18 with no exact dates of usage. The fact that I’m being billed on estimates and not actual usage is not okay.

      Immediately after the email was sent from Metergy, I got another email from Samantha advising they would like to recall the message that was sent. 


      Sincerely,

      ** ***** **** **** ******* ****** ** ** ******* ** ***** ** **** ****** **** ***** My bills went from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars, with the most recent being over $580. First they claimed it was EST and now the latest bill is an ACT with that VERY HIGH AMOUNT.

      ** *** *** * ******** ** ******* ** ****** **** **** ******* **** **** ****** *** **** ***** ******. They don’t care about the customer, because at the end of the day they will still collect the exorbitant bill amount and anything they say about customer service is NONSENSE to them!

      At this point Metergy should add me as a lined item on their balance sheet for their next end of fiscal year report. I have been billed a further EST bills of over $350 and $400 with two more bills to go. They called me to say I should expect it. Word of advise if you are told by your landlord that Metergy is their provider, make sure you understand what you are getting into with this company. **** **** **** ***** *** ***** **** ***** ****** ****** ******* ** **** *** **** **** ******** ** ** ** ** **** ** **** ****

      My elderly mother owns a condo in Aurora, Ontario. Her electricity and water provider is Metergy. Since the summer of 2022, she has been overbilled for water consumption, estimated by over $500. My mother is on a fixed income and she is afraid to use water. It is very stressful for her. I have repeatedly contacted Metergy by phone and email. I have done everything they have asked of me including sending photos of the defective water meter. Metergy has not fixed the ongoing problem. My last email to a supervisor in customer service continues to go unanswered. What can I do?

      This company has dishonest and ********* business practices. Their representatives are not trained on their own internal procedures and misinform customers, which then leads to the company billing customers arbritary charges that are essentially a cash grab and after months of back and forth emails and numerous phone calls and request for esclations, this business has the audacity to now demand $25 fee for providing a statement of my account, despite me making two payment in good faith and now I have had enough. This corporation has ********* business practices of ********** customers with overdue bill notices via mail and email and ********** phone calls. This is not just my experience but the unfortunate experience of an other immediate family member which was forced to sign up for this companies services due to there connections with the larger builders and construction conglomerates that plague Ontarios real estate market.

      We are sorry to hear that the customer has felt
      frustration with the billing and collections process. We take pride in
      providing superior service and a member of our customer relations team reached
      out to the customer to explain that all charges on our invoices as well as our collections
      practices for overdue amounts are in accordance with our Conditions of Service.
      As a gesture of goodwill, we have waived the $25 fee for providing a statement
      of account (as specified in our Conditions of Service) this time. We have also informed the customer that they can view their account details through our
      customer portal at any time without incurring any additional fees.

      I am rejecting this response because: Metergy recalled the email and statement provided and has not responded to the attached email. This proves that this company is dysfunctional and unable to provide basic service to their customers and at this point I think its only fair for them to compensate me beyond the notional $25 statement fee, so called goodwill gesture.

      I set up metergy for my brother’s apartment in Scarborough and he moved out Jan 15th 2023. I called on Jan 26th/27th to let them know that we’re moving out (fully ok to pay for all of Jan). Associate told me that all systems were currently down so I tell her to disconnect our account when it’s back up. She agrees.
      I pay for the January bill and pay it no mind anymore.
      I get a call on March 13th about a late bill. I call them back March 15th to find out and file a complaint. Metergy was not disconnected and because it’s been more than 30 days since I moved out they need to verify with the home owner. They say this will take 20 days. I pay the $40 bill for the time being just so that it won’t be a late payment.
      Meanwhile I receive another bill on March 21st for $80. I call to ask what to do and they say just pay it for now and I’ll be reimbursed if I’ve overpaid. I asked for that confirmation in writing and asked why I need to pay for a bill that’s not mine with no guarantee of getting the money back. I already paid $40. She said then I don’t need to pay. I asked her what the repercussions of that would be. If I don’t pay, will it go to collections? Will it affect my credit? Will it be sent to 3rd party collections? If so do you provide credit bureau amendments and/or support for one?
      She stumbled and then sent me to the credit and collections department to get my questions answered but I got hung up on right away. Wasted 30 min.
      Told them that I’m not willing to put in my time, money, and labour to assist in fixing a mistake that metergy made (especially if they’re not being accommodating).
      20 business days is absolutely ridiculous for a quick phone call to the home owner. Home owner also said that she’s disappointed at the idea of spending her own time to reach out to help assist.
      Needs to be known that metergy’s accountability and problem resolution is lacking and not time sensitive at all.
