On August 8, 2012, our attorneys filed a consumer fraud class action complaint in the Federal District Court for the District of Maryland on behalf of all Maryland consumers who purchased their retail electricity from the independent energy supplier, Energy Plus Holdings LLC. The Complaint alleges that Energy Plus deceptively lures consumers into purchasing their electricity supply by promising frequent flier rewards or cash back. The suit also alleges that notwithstanding Energy Plus’ representation that its rates are competitive and reflective of market prices, Energy Plus charges exorbitant rates for its electricity, sometimes more than two to three times the rate local utilities charge.
For everyday consumers, having to pay an electricity bill that is hundreds of dollars more than it should be can be financially devastating. If you or someone you know is a customer of Energy Plus in Maryland or elsewhere, or any other independent supplier, and you believe you may have been misled as to the price of electricity, please contact us to discuss your legal options.
