No person-to-person encounter, but very early this morning I did laundry at the 24 hour laundromat (Big Apple?) on Newkirk – near Marlborough. Taped to the counter near the entrance door, located on the right as you enter, was an almost full page letter on colored paper. I did not read the letter but was was clearly visible im bold print, and I believe capital letters, was the word “AMBIT”. From my limted understanding, AMBIT is one of those ESCO “companies”. I was slightly surprised because I hav never seen that letter at that location.

Is it trespassing a salesperson knocks on an apartment door having gained entry to the building through other means? 

I did call the company several years ago when they first showed up at my door. I told their office that the reps were aggressive and that they were trespassing on my property. They went to my mother in law’s condo in Dyker Heights. My husband had to forcibly tell them to leave the premises.

so, I’m embarrassed, but I fell for this and signed up with an ESCO last year.  Has anyone else tried to get out of a contract?  What are the best next steps to take to end the relationship?

If you feel you’re being cheated or were misled, contact the Better Business Bureau. 

They came to us 9:30 at night on a Friday.  Guy seemed very official, but his story made no sense and we didn’t let him in.
