WOODBRIDGE – Woodbridge Police Director Robert Hubner has issued an order revoking the peddlers/solicitors license granted to Direct Energy/Birkshire Group, its employees and its representatives.
The directive effectively prohibits Direct Energy/Birkshire Group from continued door-to-door solicitations in Woodbridge Township.
The Municipal Clerk’s Office and the Woodbridge Police Department received numerous complaints regarding aggressive solicitation tactics and misrepresentations allegedly made by Direct Energy representatives during the course of door-to-door activity, according to information provided by the mayor’s office. The solicitations were determined to be violation of the Woodbridge Township Solicitation Ordinance.
Any businesses soliciting door-to-door must secure a permit from the municipal clerk and must prominently display valid permit and identification credentials.
