XOOM Energy ONT, ULC Third Party Verification (TPV) Process

After you have submitted your enrollment for service, there is just one final step remaining – you will be contacted by a third party via email, text message and/or phone call to verify your enrollment. To make the process simple and quick, below outlines the questions that you will be asked during the Third Party Verification (TPV) process, as well as information you will need to verify.

Please note that the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) requires that any customer enrolling with an energy supplier, such as XOOM Energy, complete a Third Party Verification.  XOOM Energy is required to use the questions/scripting below and cannot deviate from the outlined script.

Please keep the following in mind when completing the TPV process:

1. The verification process cannot begin until 10 days after you have enrolled with XOOM Energy ONT, ULC ("XOOM Energy"). If you do not receive an email or text messages after 10 days, please call 866-999-8483 to verify your enrollment.
2. Please allow up to 10 minutes to complete the TPV process.
3. If you enrolled in both natural gas and electricity, you will have to complete a set of questions for each commodity. (questions will be completed on the same phone call)
4. You will need the confirmation number provided in the text message and/or email in order to begin the process.
5. Please stay on the line until the TPV agent provides you with a confirmation number indicating that that call is complete.
6. The TPV call will come from Sales Verification Co.

Below is a list of questions and/or information that you must affirmatively agree to during the TPV process with a clear ‘yes’ response, unless otherwise noted. Any other response will cause the TPV to fail.
