When i started working for patrick siados company called "Optimus Prime Marketing" and which was a "Relagy" Electrical service provider, i figured i could sighn my own home bill up as to get a sale.
When i first sighned with Realgy, there are no hidden fees. You simply pay for the Electricity you use.". Well that is an absolute lie. They charge ancillaryservice fees, capacity, transmission or delivery service, renewal or standard portfolio goals, losses, reconciliation, and applicable charges as identified by the Seller.
Well the way this is worded they can charge the moon to us. So the first month I had the service, I complained, and they did give me a credit so that my total cost was .0525 times the kWH I used. Then the last 2 months they changed their wording on the billing and they are now billing me a line item that says fixed rate = .0595 times the KWH used. Then the next line item says "Additional charges", and it is some arbitrary amount they are charging me and now my electricty bill is higher than if I would have stayed with my old supplier. I am now paying .0835 overall charges for the electricity and I am sure they will be raising it up in the coming months.
These people are real crooks. I recommend do not do business with these legal scam artists. They are covered by their contract so that is why I say it is legal. Now I am stuck with them for 2 years. My agreement says I can terminate the contract early with an $80 fee, but guess what! It also says they can charge additional fees besides the $80.00, and you know that they will do that. I have no recourse when i get the bill. I cannot withhold or dispute the payment because the billing is all part of the Realgy bill.
They will do nothing for me. If I withhold payment, I will be assessed late charges and be in default.
Also in the final weeks of my employment with them, i was let go suddenly without warning and waas told every penny i had made in the last few weeks was to be put on hold for 90 days... these people have robbed me personally for over 400$ in unpaid wages, and also am now stuck on their terrible electrical supply plan which consistantly costs me more money...
Screw these loser scum
STAY AWAY from these ripoff artists.

A lot of what the original poster said was ignorance. The"relagy" was actually a company called "realgy" and it was actually a rate reduction for their bill. They didn't understand that changing supplier only effects your generation charges (and lowers them) and that all the other charges (transmission and taxes and all..) are still going to be charged by your utility. I myself have worked in this particular business for 4 years now. I started working with Mr. Siado December 2016, 8 months ago, and I've always received what I was owed when I was owed it. I get top tier commissions on time and if I need support for my team I know he's a phone call away and will be there for me. I've made over 6 grand in one week with a 2 man team the commissions have been so strong. The guy will bend over backwards for literally anyone and everyone that he sees potential in. If you feel cheated by Patrick, it's probably because you cheated yourself and didn't work. This industry is a direct reflection of your own efforts. You can make over 6 grand in a week but If you do not work you can expect not to be paid. Anyone that is reading this wondering whether or not to go into business with Mr. Siado; You're going to be paid on time what you're owed. Anyone that says they weren't paid right made a mistake in their own book keeping, or didn't hard close their customers.

Working with them is great, they sure that I have everything I need and are always available to offer help when needed. They are self motivated people who inspire me to get out and work hard everyday.

The accusations you have towards Patrick and Crystal seem to be false. For as long as I've known them (3+ years), they have been nothing but fair and helpful in every aspect of the business. From your paragraph it just seems as if you don't understand the business. When you come to work you are not required to sign yourself up for the supplier being marketed so any charges accured are of your own doing and with the issue with pay, in the beginning of your position your are aware of the guidelines and what is expected of you. So please do not take your own personal feelings about your inadequacy out on Patrick and Crystal. They have a number of references that will vouch for their character, starting with me.
