IL-AG v. Clearview Electric Inc.

Clearview Electric Inc. allegedly engaged in fraudulent, unfair and deceptive business practices to mislead Illinois consumers into paying millions of dollars more for electricity than consumers who stayed with their default public utility. The Attorney General’s office filed a complaint alleging that Clearview Energy violated the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and the Illinois Telephone Solicitations Act by deceptively enrolling consumers in Clearview Energy services without authorization, at a considerably higher rate than the local public utility, and in some cases without consumers having any contact with Clearview’s representatives.
