“  Too expensive, Too expensive, Too expensive ”

“  I locked in on a rate with YEP Energy in August, 2021 for a 3 year term. When I received my first bill, there were a lot of fees that increased my bill amounts which also included a variable rate increase they did not include in my contract rates. I started a complaint in the BBB about their fees to hold them accountable for the extra fees and variable rates. This is where they took a couple of lines out of my BBB complaints and used that against me to reduce my contract length from 3 years to 1 year as they saw fit.

I did not notice the expiration dates until 2 months before the end of my first year of service with them was complete and noticed the renewal notices (for twice the amount I originally locked in at). Upon investigation, I realized that they changed my contracted term without my approval.

Upon my discovery of the reduced contract length, I began calling and communicating with their customer service which refused to reinstate the original contract term. I filed a complaint with the PUC who investigated the matter and is currently holding them accountable for the 3 year term. I'm still waiting for them to reinstate my original contract term. Be careful with this company. You might think you are getting a good rate, but they lack understanding with their customers, and they will bully you once they have you in their contract. They do demonstrate good customer service to resolve misunderstandings and may even drive you to challenge them in court or with the Public Utility Commission. ”

“  What a scam! They will not make any reasonable effort to let you know your contract is expiring, except snail mail. They also will not inform you they switched you to a totally different plan. They will do whatever it takes to make as much money off you as they can. They are highly unethical and certain dont give a darn about customer loyalty. Run away! ”

“  I emailed 4change on my moveout date of 06/19/2022 requesting that my service be cancelled, immediately. The next cycle start was 06/20/2022. I received a receipt acknowledgement email that same date however, service was not cancelled and they did not notify me of this until 06/22/2022 at which time they charged me a another whole month's cycle charge. The service would not have been cancelled at that time except that they received an order for service from someone else. I have emailed back and forth with them insisting I pay the full month of charges for after I moved out and notified them to cancel, and when I try to call their office, I get an "office closed" message. ”

“  Once my 1 year contract was up my rate jumped from 5 cents per Kwhr to 27.8 cents per Kwhr with no notice of the increase. They increased the rate by over 400% and when I inquired about it, they cited an increase in fuel prices. I know fuel prices have gone up, but not 400%. ”

“  I have literally had ONE nice experience with CS seriously to the point that I am willing to pay the early disconnect fee just to not have to deal with them. Literally do not GAF about working with people in difficult situations. Condescending and rude ”

“  Moved out of the area and received an email saying no termination fee would be assessed... There was and it took multiple calls in which over half the time the foreign call center reps just hung up. This went on for almost 3 months ended up disputing thru my credit card. Then they tried to send it to a 3rd party collections ”

“  Overall, I haven't had an issue with Discount Power until one month where things were busy and I overlooked my bill for a couple weeks. Most honest companies will warn you about being disconnected for non-payment when the next month bill comes out. Not so with DP, instead within only a couple weeks of not paying your bill they send you a disconnect notice so they can greedily charge you a $20 disconnect notice fee. Then they add insult to injury by also charging a late fee. I could understand if it was going on to next month and no payment had been made, but a couple weeks... Really?! Disappointed and can't wait to switch to a more honest company. ”

“  I had Ambit for 1 year and the rate was fair for a few months and then starting going up. There is no way to pay half before the due date and then pay the rest with out paying a fee. I paid $289 for February and now for March it's $363.91. And Oncor charges are ridiculous $112. So I am done with Ambit! Cancelled and not going back. ”

“  I am in my house without power its 40 F in my house. Amigo promised my power would be on today. They said if they needed any additional information they would contact me. I called this morning and the lady on the phone said they needed two items from me and I informed her that they never called. She apologized and said it would take 24-48 hours to get power on in my house. I told her that I had opted for priority for an extra fee on my bill so I could have power today. She said if they cant get it on today then I wouldnt have to pay for the priority yet I wouldnt have power. I emailed the documents and called back a few hours later to make sure they were received. The lady on this call promised Id have power in a few hours. Its been 3 hours and when I called back theyre office was closed. They dont open again until Monday and I have work on Monday and need power. Let me stress again that my house is cold and my food is going to go bad. I am so beyond upset. ”
