Billing Problems and Complaints (550 reviews)
Disconnection notice after they apparently applied my payment to the wrong account
“ I received a late notice about a week after my bill was due in January 2024. I checked my bank and it showed an EFT in the full amount of the bill cleared the bank and was paid to XOOm on the day it was due. I figured it was just a hiccup in their system and disregarded it. This week I received a disconnection notice, saying the bill had not been paid. I called customer service and was told I had not paid the bill even though I had a reference number from the bank showing the bill had been paid in full to XOOM. Customer service said billing could not find the reference number and they would do an investigation to determine whose account that nearly $200 went into but that I still owned them the full amount or risked having my gas turned off next week. These folks have some issues. ”

Solar panels owners scammed!!!
“ Green Mountain's customer service is there for nothing they do not solve any problems. I own solar panels and we are experiencing high increases in our monthly bill. Four months had passed and we're still facing the same problem. My bill is now over $400 dollars because we are disputing the high prices. What really happened was that they failed to remove the so-called "average billing" from our monthly bill and used all the energy our panels produce without giving us any credit whatsoever. After 4 months of dealing with the situation and many phone calls, they finally switch us to the right plan but deny giving us the credits for the previous months. Customer service representatives didn't do anything to help us they just blame us and used the most ridiculous excuses like: "some customers prefer to continue with the average billing"... Really? People decide to pay more and give away the energy their solar panels produce. I'm really upset. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH GREEN MOUNTAIN ENERGY ”

Unhappy Customer
“ Customer Service has not idea what my bill is or should be. I pay every month on-time. They switched billing companies mid-month and said I owed them $14 for 5 days, which I paid. Received notice of non-payment, called them, they said they received. Just received a disconnect notice plus $10 late fee for the $14. ”

Loyal Customer
“ I've been a loyal customer for almost 10 years now. I had to switch accounts for my billing. In the switch, I accidentally attempted to pay the bill with my old account. Well, once I found out that I made the mistake, I was charged a late fee, disconnect notice fee, and a returned payment fee....Though these charges were only $57, I have a problem with them not waiving them because of my tenure and loyalty as a good customer. I have a house full and I shell out at times up to $500 a month or more for service. Quite disappointed. ”

Nightmare Customer service
“ Sale was fine. But as soon as there was a problem with billing, it became clear they have no intention or ability to take care of it. Constantly passing the problem from one person to another and no communication to me except saying my bill is due. Many broken promises and still no resolution- almost 7 months later and they're still dodging phone calls. ”
