Description

At or around 4:30pm on October 22, 2024, two men came to my door stating that they were here about my electric account. The person that did all the talking wore a photo name tag on a lanyard that showed “PTM Solar Authorized Advisor, Agent Name: NAME Agent Code: PR12639.” [Photograph was discreetly taken] He stated that he needed to see one of my Versant bills as they were here to verify that I was receiving my discount from solar power. I did show him a copy (after verifying that there were no credit card or banking information). Per his request, I did give him my secondary eMail address (EMAIL) and secondary telephone number (207-619-3212). He then became quite rude, stating that my given telephone number was a “Voice Over Internet Protocol” number and not valid. When I explained that the number was good and went directly to my cell phone, he became increasingly verbally hostile. At that point, I told him that they were to leave the property immediately, or I would have them removed. The two of them did leave after a few minutes, with the primary still shouting on the way to the street. (As I had not seen a vehicle when they first arrived, I asked about it when they first came to the door. He stated that they were dropped off at Ohio Street; this was also the direction they headed after they left.) When I spoke with my landlord/neighbor, he stated that the two of them started by coming to his residence, walking into the backyard where his young children were playing. The neighbors told them to leave, which is when they came to my door. At 4:50pm, I received an email from “PTM Solar via Jotform Sign [email protected],” containing two documents. The first was a Letter of Authorization for NAME to release all information to PTM Solar Inc. The second contained a “Community Distributed Generation Disclosure Form” and a “Community Solar Subscription Agreement.” At the bottom, it included Mr. NAME “SA” initials next to Signature of PRM Representative, and stamped “Signed at 2024-10-22 13:50:33.” Just below that was a line for the Signature of Customer with a squiggle on it before the same date/time stamp. I had never been presented with or seen these papers, much less agreed to them or sign anything. On October 23, 2024 at 9:30am, I contacted Versant Power and spoke with Andrea. She stated that this encounter had no connections with Versant Power. On October 23, 2024 at 9:39am, I contacted the Maine Public Utilities Commission. On October 23, 2024 at 11:27am, I sent an email to "PTM Solar Inc." [[email protected]] informing them that I did not sign up. They suggested that I send a message to PTM Solar that I did not sign up, as well as to notify the Better Business Bureau and the Maine Attorney General.
