Great electric prepaid co. Changing new texting does not work go back to old

I have been with pogo a year loved it an still do except for their new customer service. When I first signed up I could go into my account pay my bill or get a barcode instantly an pay. Now they have changed the way I get a text an I can't directly go into my acct. I have tried to get barcode an they never come up on my phone. I have called them several times an it's a big problem getting thru but when I do I try to explain this new way don't work I hate it. They used to make it easy to pay or chat now chat u still can't get anyone all I get is sorry can't help u with that. So I'm hoping that they go back to correct way of contacting an paying bills.
Other than that I love pogo bills are cheapest just can't pay bill any way but calling them an being put on hold forever. I would recommend them highly if they weren't changing the service

Refund

I had to cancel my order after one day which left a balance of 83.00 dollars haven't receive my refund it's been over ten days, I have spoken to 4 different agents and a supervisor. I was told my money would be posted within 24 to 48hrs still no money again the run around. I called again today what a coincidence the manager and supervisor can't talk. They have on there website refund in 10 days obviously that's a lie and the folks I been talking to are liers too. Could someone tell me who I can talk to to get my money they had no problem taking it. This has been a awful experience and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

YIKES! This isn't the Pogo experience we had hoped for you. We hate to hear that your refund wasn't processes as quickly as expected. We were in the middle of a system change and we all understand the PAINS that a system conversion can create. We are however glad to see that your full refund was issued.

Just pay the deposit for a real electric company

This prepaid electric company is a rip off. You basically pay for your electricity twice. Pogo charge a fee for their service then charge you again for the actual electricity you use. In the end you will pay way more. I don't know how they have all these positive reviews but they have to be fake.

A Price Gauging Scam

I was so grateful for the chance to receive electricity with poor credit. Your customer care team is FANTASTIC! So kind-hearted and welll-informed. I am in the process of rebuilding, and it began great.. w/ just a $20 deposit I was off and enjoying the rates. BUT then out of NOWHERE the price went up and up and up and up.. it is just myself and my 6 yr old. We live very modestly... No television, no electronics .. except charging his tablet.. I didnt even wash clothes as the price climbed with each daily text. We stayed in the dark as the price climbed each day.. and just the refrigerator plugged in for food. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!

THANK GOD a family member blessed us with a deposit for Direct Energy. Direct Energy offered a special deposit price and I RAN FROM YOUR SERVICES as quickly as I could. My heartbreaks for people unable to get from under your web of price gauging. I am sure in the next few years the government will eventually shut down operations like yours.

May God have mercy on your company owners that take advantage of people in difficult financial situations using a service like electricity as bait.

Pogo will put you in poverty.

I live in a small tiny trailer and I am paying 12 to $14 in electric a day. It is absolutely ridiculous and in the next week I will no longer be using this trashy company that has literally taken food out of my dog's mouth. It has literally left me into poverty where I've had to go beg and borrow from my family in order so I don't freeze during the winter. It is affected me deeply by using the scam artists. You shouldn't have to feel like you're going to be cold the following day because you can't afford to pay $13 a day for electricity. I can't wait to get rid of this tragedy on my life.

This company is a scam

I think its funny that they pride themselves on having no billshock (BS) but its a daily shock to see that I'm being charged $20 dollars a day for a 3 bed house. I've called pogo dispaying my concern of this incredibly expensive charging and i get different answers over and over again to the point that i don't believe anything that comes from pogo. First i was told it was my meter giving these numbers, (my meter is less than 2 years old it was replaced 3 months into having pogo energy) next it was oncor that was charging us more than usual (which was a complete lie after talking to oncor who says they charge 25-30% of electricity used, but im being charged 100% by pogo) next was simply being told to not use so much next time. (Totally rude.) I've unfortunately had this company for 2 years now and I'm stuck with them for who knows how much longer. Using a dpp is just a secure way of pogo keeping you as a customer longer. The customer service is a joke, constantly being over talked to or hung up, lied to multiple times over what exactly im being charged for. They can get away with it by "showing" you exactly what they are charging you but its complete gibberish. DAB charges, Taxes are widely charged between $2-$14, which is also another confusing factor, with everything else in the world taxes are a fix rate, NOT POGO. They carefully charged you DAB charges throught out the month and you have no idea what your DAB balance is.(seems to me that its just another ploy to get more money from you) I would also like to say that the amount of times I see money being placed in my account and taken out is VERY CONCERNING, four days ago $23 was placed in my account then immediately taken out. (Wasn't me) next was a DAB adjustment (charge) for -$173 then given back. They play with numbers on your account making it even more head scratching to navigate their page. If anyone is reading this i beg you DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! The way they advertise is very compelling thinking this is the best way to go, ITS NOT. Their are other companies that don't need a credit check or deposit I suggest anyone else. You wallet with thank you immediately.

We are disappointed to hear that your experience has been less than excellent as we strive to provide the best customer service possible. Pogo has escalated your account to our dedicated Solutions team where it is actively being investigated and addressed. We have also tried reaching out to you directly via phone to go over any questions and/or concerns that you may have but unfortunately we have been unable to reach you. Please feel free to reach out to us at your earliest convenience as we would love the opportunity to figure this out together. We look forward to hearing from you as all customer feedback is valuable and your Pogo experience is our greatest priority!

This company sucks

This is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with! Advertising makes it sound good but its definitely not! What they do is make hard working people that actually need help with affordable electricity dig themselves a deeper hole! They need to change how they operate or completely shut it down!

Dont deserve one star

Let this serve as notice as a former pogo customer> they are scammers and prey on the citizens of Harris county. The usage and charge up history is not and true reflective of the service provider. Transparency to the customer is not their and they will retaliate by turning off your lights and not explaining in truth what the charges are. On the main dash board it is not reflective of a true dpp charge or service balance in one month I paid 400 dollars when my history has been 150 for the longest in my experience a very vindictive company and e customer service is horrible! Please stay with solid light companys who care about customer experience.

We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with your Pogo experience. Yes, Pogo sends you your daily usage update. However your TDU reads your meter and sends them to Pogo, then we send them to you. Were just the messenger. Did you know that your TDU is required to maintain 99.9% accuracy with meter reads? We would be more than happy to review your account and discuss any concerns you may have. Please reach out to us directly, we look forward to hearing from you.

Over charged, disconnected with an hr notice while at work

I had a positive balance in the morning, I guess by 2 pm it was -1.00, I get an email about disconnect notice, 1 hr later my energy disconnected... ONE HOUR LATER. I'm at work, I don't constantly check my personal email, as I have a job! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE
