The case involves a scheme in which Plaintiff alleges that Enerbank partnered with a door-to-door sales team to forge Plaintiff’s signature on a multi-decade financing agreement for solar panels.

Enerbank attempted to compel arbitration. The Court denied Enerbank’s motion. The Court held that Plaintiff’s contract was voidable due to violations of the Home Solicitation Sales Act.

The case involves a scheme in which Sunnova partners with unscrupulous door-to-door salesmen and contractors like Kuubix Global, LLC represent that solar panels are free but then fraudulently enter consumers into expensive, multi-decade power purchase agreements without their knowledge or permission.

Plaintiff, an elderly monolingual Spanish speaker, alleges that Sunnova authorized its agent Greenspire LLC to create an email address to which Plaintiff had no access, forge his signature on a Sunnova contract, and obligate him on an expensive quarter-century loan for solar panels that Sunnova represented would be free.

BayLegal brought this lawsuit to remedy the impact of fraudulently obtained default collection judgments on low-income consumers. The sweeping injunction highlights issues with high-volume debt collection lawsuits, which are currently overwhelming California courts.
