Today living in BC, some guy from Direct Energy shows up at the place I'm living in Osoyoos BC. Turns out that he went to highschool with my wife and would have had her sold hook line and sinker if I didn't control this sort of thing in my house hold. All because he works for them, he must know what he's talking about....Um no, he works for them and gets a rather nice commission for every sale and will work any angle he can to get a sale. First off we don't own the house the utility contract isn't in our name, so we can't even sign on. Second it's a rip off, oh no they upped Natrual Gas rates in BC! Guess what everything else went up in price it's just that the government doesn't have to approve it when they raise the price on everything else. And his best line...well everyone in Alberta did this didn't they? No, everyone who did this in Alberta wanted out of that contract!
