Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating numerous complaints from consumers regarding Zone One Energy’s potentially fraudulent business practices. These consumers were promised savings on their energy bills, but after switching to Zone One Energy their rates were higher than their local utilities’ rates, in some cases doubling. Consumers allege that had they been made aware of the company’s true intention to raise rates, they never would have purchased Zone One’s energy.
Upon investigation, evidence suggests that Zone One Energy may have lured customers into switching to Zone One with promises of significant savings, only to increase its rates well beyond market rates. These rate increases may have been implemented by enrolling customers into higher-cost plans without their consent or knowledge. WMP has already filed class actions against other energy companies that have engaged in these deceptive practices, and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of customers of Zone One Energy to recover overcharges and other damages.
If you purchased electricity through Zone One Energy and suspect that you have been overcharged, we urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case. You can contact us by clicking here, calling (914) 775-8862, or emailing us at case@wittelslaw.com.
