MCE Selects PlanetEcosystems' Consumer Engagement Platform to Support Its Energy Efficiency Programs


PlanetEcosystems and Marin Energy Authority today announced that MCE, the first Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program in California and electricity supplier of choice to Marin county and Richmond residents, will deploy PlanetEcosystems' P-ECOSYS consumer engagement platform. MCE chose PlanetEcosystems' plug-and-play platform for its orientation around consumer needs, and its emphasis on strengthening relationships with the area's 120,000 households.
"We're excited to offer MCE customers a new energy efficiency tool which will allow them to maximize net savings, reduce carbon footprints, and make their homes more comfortable and healthy in a cost-effective way. The tool developed by PlanetEcosystems is a value-add that customers in our service area can only get from MCE," said Dawn Weisz, executive officer of Marin Energy Authority.
MCE will deploy many components of PlanetEcosystems' consumer engagement platform, including three user-oriented web portals:
  • Consumer engagement portal, including utility system optimization tools, rebate, financing and vendor management tools, social engagement and other facilities
  • Vendor portal, with professional-level utility system optimization tools, project and other management tools

In addition, MCE has engaged PlanetEcosystems to provide several program activities, including school-based initiatives that use social and gamification techniques to engage students and their parents; direct messaging initiatives that use utility optimization and normative-comparative techniques to motivate consumer action; and several neighborhood-based energy-advisor initiatives.
"MCE's deployment of our consumer engagement platform, an initiative approved by the California Public Utilities Commission, represents a new era in energy efficiency," said Steve Malloy, co-founder and senior vice president of PlanetEcosystems. "As locally-based and competitive suppliers, CCAs are often more in tune with the needs of utility consumers.

Debt Collection Now Monitored By The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - KEL Credit Clients Affected

As reported by the CFPB on its consumer website, http://www.consumerfinance.gov, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently published a ruling that will allow the federal agency to oversee larger consumer debt collectors for the first time, at a federal level. An estimated 30 million Americans have, an average of $1,500 subject to debt collection nationwide. Because collectors report consumer collection activity to credit bureaus, it is vital that the information be accurate. When mistakes are made, consumers suffer serious consequences by being denied future credit, such as a home or auto loan.

While many KEL Credit Repair clients will benefit from bureau oversight, CFPB Director Richard Cordray expresses hopes for the ruling, stating, Millions of consumers are affected by debt collection, and we want to make sure they are treated fairly. We want all companies to realize that the better business choice is to follow the law not break it.

KEL Credit Repair sees consumers every day, who have struggled with collection agencies, engaging in unethical and unscrupulous collection practices. The CFPB ruling gives KEL Credit Repair one more tool to help consumers fight unfair practices, by allowing individuals to file complaints and concerns directly.

The consumer debt collection market that will be subject to federal supervision includes companies that purchase defaulted debt and collect on the balances for themselves, companies that collect another companys debts for a fee, and debt collection attorneys that get paid through litigation. Supervision of the collection industry will begin January 2, 2013 and will include those companies who collect over $10 million annually in consumer debt. The new regulation should affect about 175 companies, or about 60 percent of U.S. debt collectors.

KEL Credit Repair welcomes the federal oversight, as the CFPB will be monitoring collections in a number of areas related to federal consumer financial law. These include; proper required disclosures to consumers, accurate information on status of individual accounts, maintaining a consumer complaint and dispute process, and communicating civilly and honestly with consumers.
