Wittels McInturff Palikovic LLP is investigating Clearview Energy for potential claims arising from alleged overcharges for residential electricity and natural gas supply.
Consumers report enrolling with Clearview Energy expecting competitive rates—only to later experience dramatic increases in their energy bills.
What Is the Investigation About?
Clearview Energy markets itself as a provider that can help consumers save money on their energy bills. However, many consumers report the opposite.
Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating whether consumers were:
Promised lower energy costs
Placed into plans with unexpectedly high rates
Charged more than their local utility would have charged
Misled about how their energy pricing would work over time
Consumers Report Unexpectedly High Energy Rates
Consumer reviews suggest a recurring pattern of low introductory rates followed by sharp price increases.
One reviewer reported that their rate was “doubled… without notifying me” shortly after enrolling.
Another stated that rates “jack up” after the initial period, even when customers attempt to cancel.
Consumers also describe being moved to variable-rate plans with significantly higher pricing than expected.
Many consumers further report paying far more than anticipated—sometimes multiples of their prior utility charges.
One consumer reported rates that were nearly four times higher than those charged by the utility, resulting thousands of dollars in excess payments.
Others consumers allege they were charged “2–3x the initial rate” after promotional periods ended.
Potentially Unlawful Practices
We are investigating whether Clearview Energy’s conduct may violate state consumer protection laws, including laws prohibiting:
Deceptive marketing and misrepresentation
Failure to disclose material pricing terms
Unfair or excessive energy charges
Energy suppliers are required to provide clear and accurate information so consumers can make informed decisions. When they fail to do so, consumers may pay far more than expected.
Why This Matters
Electricity and gas are essential household services. Consumers rely on accurate pricing and honest marketing when choosing an energy provider.
When companies use misleading tactics or unclear pricing, consumers pay hundreds or even thousands more for energy each year than if they remained with their utility.
We Want to Hear From You
You may have a claim if:
You switched to Clearview Energy expecting savings but paid more than your utility
