energy door to door salesman
We live in Edmonton and the energy sale man have been pestering my daughter in particular for weeks! Today, they showed up here, with apparently better rates. A lot of fine print to try and decipher! Any thoughts?

I think.
I they are paying workers to go door to door, it's not for our benefit.
Bottom line, it takes money to make money.

That's funny I had the same thing happen to me. Only thing good about direct energy was they accept credit cards for payment, and that's where it ends

Through personal experience I have found if you answer the door naked with a beer in your hand it will slow down their attack. Works well with Mormons on a sunday morning.

I had 2 people come last weekend saturday evening and sunday evening. Both had Direct Energy name tags. Had a binder with with copies of both pink and blue billing sheets. We are with Direct Energy and were not interested in talking or changing plans. Wife called Direct Energy on monday and was told they don't solicit! They did say there was another company of the same name........so beware out there.

energy rates
I find it interesting that if you ask for a flyer or information booklet, they don't have any, they want you to sign up on the spot. It makes one wonder what they are hiding that they don't want you to be able to check it out and call them back.
