I submitted a request to switch to Constellation over a week ago when their rate was 13.something. It went through and I got a confirmation, but days ago I get an email from Constellation saying there was a problem and to call them.
I call Constellation, they say they aren’t sure but they can offer to sign me up at a now higher rate in the 17s.
Eversource says there was not a switch hold on my account or a WPP hold. Now I have to reach out to Cosmtellation again and argue to give me the rate I signed up for and received a confirmation for since there is evidently no problem.
Beware people who think they are in the clear, the then-incredible rate of 13 is no longer available and you’re going to find yourself on the receiving ends of an Eiffel tower.
####EDIT:
I spoke to a representative at Constellation again, she explicitly stated that Eversource placed a hold on supplier transfers following the announcement of the rate hike allowing third party generators to increase their rates in turn. Yes, we are being cucked.
I was initially offered a rate of 17 something but after pressing the issue she was able to offer 15.76. I have filed a complaint with PURA on what I believe is purposeful obstruction. I also sent a letter, fruitless it may be, to my representatives.
####EDIT 2:
Judging from some comments below, some have heard from Constellation that it was an internal error that was causing the issues: I reached out to Constellation using the online chat and got this:
“This rejection was due to an internal error. Your enrollment will be automatically resubmitted, you will be getting the same rate of 13.2c/kwh for 36 months.”
In addition, I received a response to my complaint to the Attorney General’s office that had an update to my PURA and Eversource complaint as to the exact reason for the rejections we received:
> In response to the inquiry from asspirate420, we received this from PURA earlier. The enrollment from Constellation was submitted electronically however when submitted the next cycle rate did not match the billing rate therefore the electronic transaction was rejected.
So I will concede that Eversource and Constellation were not seemingly colluding in an attempt to split roast me after all.

Bait and switch Scam ?
We are happy you selected Constellation as your energy supplier and we've already notified your local utility that you have enrolled with us. They have advised us that they can't make the switch because there is an error or a question in our records.
Not to worry! It could be something as simple as a wrong address or incorrect spelling of your name.
If you call us right away at 855-465-1244, we can make the adjustment and get you on your way to becoming a Constellation customer.
Sincerely,
Constellation Customer Care
