Attention consumers: New comparison in electricity and gas providers!

consumers benefit from new agreements

The district of Kleve and the Rhein-Ruhr area are the focus of a significant consumer protection project. The disputes between different energy providers and consumers, especially with regard to inappropriate price increases, reach a new highlight. In the past, the companies Primastrom, Voxenergie and Nowenergy have caused uncertainty due to unclear information and unjustified price jumps. In a current case, the Federal Consumer Center (VZBV) and PrimaHolding have agreed on a comprehensive agreement that makes it easier for affected consumers to receive repayments and better contractual conditions.

A look at past challenges

In recent years there have been many complaints about the energy providers. For example, consumers have often seen their dismissals ignored, which meant that they remained bound to expensive contracts. This is not only frustrating, but also leads to unnecessary financial burdens, since customers did not have the opportunity to switch to cheaper tariffs. With the new comparison, there is now a deadline for when dismissals and reclaims can be claimed: December 31, 2024. This means a last chance for many affected customers to free themselves from unfavorable contracts and, if necessary, to get money back.

advantages for consumers

Gregor Hermanni, energy lawyer at the Consumer Center North Rhine -Westphalia, emphasizes that the customers concerned have to become active in order to benefit from the new regulations. According to the new provisions, contracts that have already been terminated must now expire within a maximum of two years. Even customers: Inside, who may still hesitate to revoke or terminate their contracts, should consider this. The new comparison enables you to get better prices, even if you are only now taking steps.

The effects on pricing

One of the most pressing problems was the way providers advertised with price cuts. According to a price increase, alleged reductions were often communicated, which, however, kept customers in more expensive contracts that were far above the market average. With the new comparison, the providers now set an upper limit for the prices to be calculated; In many cases, this could lead to a drastic reduction in monthly costs.

The meaning of the agreement

This agreement is of far -reaching importance for consumers in the district of Kleve and beyond. It creates transparency and gives consumers the opportunity to better enforce their rights. Despite their claims that one's own behavior was legally correct, the energy providers accepted the new obligations to avoid judicial disputes. The VZBV sees a further step in this development towards a more fairer market that strengthens consumer rights.

FAZIT

The current situation is a positive sign for consumers in the Rhein-Ruhr area. The renewed agreements give new opportunities to refrain from unjustified pricing and to regain control of your own contracts. Consumers should actively inform themselves and take advantage of the opportunities that the comparison offers in order to finally get fair and reasonable prices.
