Billing Reviews

“  Last billing period my bill was for $544.00. Even though this was a colder than normal period, it was way high for this small 2 br house. Was I getting the Constellation rate for that period? ”

“  Constellation sent letter thanking me for my request for level billing.
I did not order that.
Tried calling their customer service number for the last 3 weeks at various times during the day.
You remain on hold listening to messages about how important your call is to them.
After several calls remaining on hold for 35 mins. I was cut off.
Exactly the same cut off time waiting on 7 calls to them.
Ive sent requests for change back to actual usage billing online 3 times in the last 2 months.
Recording says you can send email.
Tried that, no response.
Promised gift card after first 3 months of service for signing up for their electric service.
Still waiting.
They were the lowest cost electricity provider.
Once you sign up they are gone.
Promotional gift cards are promises with no delivery, ”

“  I am a new customer to Xoom. I contacted the company about my first bill I received that was for only 2 service days. Starting 9/1 ending 9/3. They charged me the full AGL base passthrough fee of $28 dollars for only 2 service days. When I inquired why my first bill would only be for 2 days or why they could not prorate/credit my bill they said Sorry. Our system automatically starts new service dates on 1st of each month. Okay no problem, but if they know new service starts on the first why would they have their billing system setup to end statements on the 3rd of each month? This means each new customer gets charged the full AGL passthrough fee for only an initial 2 day service period. Seems like a scam and a rip off too me. They tried to tell me it all had to do with the day the meter was read. Okay fine too, but charging people a full base fee for only a 2 day service bill is unethical at best. ”

“  I shop for the best rate on electricity. Santanna had a good three month rate so I signed up for 5.98 cents a KW/hr and no administrative fee. In October, the month before my three months ended, I requested a switch. That took a few extra days to process and ended up being accepted on 10/20 - nine days before the end of the period. Apparently since that was within the 10 day rescission period, I couldn't start my service until the next billing period- starting 12/2. OMG, what a jump in rates! Not only did I go up from 5.98 cents/KWhr to 9.015, but they also added a $10 a month administrative fee. The letter I got before this happened warned me of the increase (but got the new rate wrong) and said nothing about the administrative fee. (That possible fee was mentioned in the contract I got at the beginning of the period.) My suggestion - get your request to switch at the end of a period in to the utility 30 days before the cycle ends. ”

“  We've been with constelation for about 6 months now and we haven't seen not 1 cent in savings on our already high electrical billing in fact I think our bill went up I think this company is full of it ”
