Reply to comment by Kolzig33189 in Please share your experience with switching supplier from Eversource to one of the cheaper ones by jackmclrtz

So, given the responses here, I took the plunge with "Think Energy!"

The process was seamless and it does not look like I will have to wait two weeks or anything; according to what I am seeing, it is all done. Specifically, after the last step (click the link in your email to verify...), I got a page that said my bill should be switched within 1-2 billing cycles.

This happened to me the last time when I switched from Eversource. However, a few weeks after I got the verification email, I got another email that said:

"We have received an enrollment rejection from your local utility, Eversource, for ANE- Account Not Eligible. This means that a block has been placed on your account that prevents it from switching to a supplier."

As I wrote in my other post, Eversource may have your account listed as "Financial Hardship" even if you did not ask for it. They automatically did that to a lot of people. If so, you cannot change suppliers until you ask Eversource (in writing!!!) to remove the "Financial Hardship" from your account. They have a pdf form for you to do that.

Did they respond to you? I filled out the form emailed it to them and still didn’t hear back and it appears the switch never happened.

Yes, I did eventually hear from Eversource.

That is good to know. I recall seeing something about "apply here for hardship" when I last logged into Eversource.

I will have to go browse around there and see if I can find anything.
