Disconnect Reviews

“  They admitted their error in disconnecting the power on Friday, June 30, 2017. Got run around from several supervisors from about 6 pm to 10 pm without any resolution. Lost all my groceries from the refrigerators and freezers. We had invited friends for dinner on Friday and had to cancel the plans. They kept saying the power cannot be restored until the next business day. Finally on Saturday got hold of Samatha who worked on getting us a hotel for two nights.Power was not restored until Monday. July 3, 2017. As of 9/18/2017, no one has bothered to reach out to me regarding reimbursement for the food lost and having to eat out. Got hold of Samantha again today and she tried to be helpful to resubmit the claim. It seems like she is the only employee ( not even a supervisor) who really cares. She remembered me when I talked to her today. She remembered she had helped me with hotel reservations. Samantha thank you very much. Samantha gets 5 stars for customer service but the company does not deserve the same rating. The supervisors and upper administrators can learn a lot from you about customer service!! ”

“  I spoke to a sales rep the ones that have a booth at a store and wanted info, she told me that the average paid is no more than 11 cents, that was lie number 1 it comes out to 12. Something. Lie 2 was that AEP charged way less because it was not being brought in from another city, turns out it was way more expensive as well, lie 3 was that she said there was no contract, i logged into my acct and it says i have a contract with them that ends 2022. They charge a few dollars if u pay after the due date, it has it on the paper but the next month they still charge an extra amount for being late the past month and they charge to send out a disconnection notice the day after i paid it. Complete rip off from this company, i should have stayed with TXU ”

“  My wife activated Frontier Utility as our primary electricity provider sometime in July 2015. The price per KWH was low in the beginning of the service contract. We paid this amount for several months but then my wife and I divorced and I left the residence in December 2015 and no longer paid the bill and was forced by a court of law not to disconnect any utilities. According to Frontier Utilities, The service was not officially disconnected until January of 2016. They told me that I had a balance over $300, the divorce was unfortunate but that I must pay or that they would report me to a credit bureau. I asked for a itemized breakdown of charges during that time period and asked them to remove any late fees or charges and that I would pay for the services that were used through November. they agreed to cut some but not all and mandated that I pay through January. I begrudgingly agreed to a payment plan to settle the debt that I did not agree with but did use some of the services and felt obligated to settle the debt. After paying the first 2 payments (nearly $100 each) of the settlement, I was called for the final settlement payment and was discussing the final payment which went up from original agreement and that I wanted any additional fees taken off and that it was unfair that I was charged for energy services/Late fees and for a place that I no longer lived and that I was legally not allowed (Divorce-court order) to cancel services in December. The person handling this case starting getting rude, threatened to report me to credit bureaus (Which they already did) and I stated that I have more than met my financial obligation to Frontier Utilities, and I stated for them to go ahead and report this action and stop contacting me at a work number and that they continued to Harass me via work phone. Over the 7 months of service, I was charged over $300 in additional fees/penalties/charges and this does not include small hidden fees in the actual bill. This company has belittled me during a difficult time in my life, their professional courtesy was non-existent and made me feel like a criminal.I asked that my account balance be shown as paid in full based on the funds already paid and for them to stop calling me at work.This company will not work with nor follow through and help the customer even though all energy services have been paid for and satisfied.Jared-supervisor of collectionAnother billing clerk Ambrosio gave me additional info on the account and continued to protect his supervisor- (Jared) When I asked to speak to Jared's supervisor, he declined and said that he was all I could speak to regarding this issue.All of this over a $98 balance (additional fees/penalties/charges) that continued to escalate even after they threatened to report to my credit and already did so.I am not the type of person that complains about these things but I felt that others should know how I was treated and to read reviews prior to just taking the cheapest option! ”

“  I have been an Ambit customer since 2009. They disconnected my service without notification once when I went to pay online and the transaction did not go through for some reason. I was never notified that there was a problem. When I called them back and tried to explain, they said they are able to see when someone was on their website and they had no record that I was on it the day I told them. I knew the day because I made a note in my checkbook. I told them I definitely was on the website and I would look up my computer history to show them when my electricity came back on. They charged me disconnect fees along with others and required a deposit to turn my electricity back on. After my electricity came back on, my computer history in fact did show that I was on the ambit bill pay site that day. They didn't care. Now, they have screwed up my billing for the past several months. I get one bill that says I owe one amount, or have a credit, and then get a disconnect notice the day after my bill is due, all because of their shoddy billing. It is an absolute joke. I haven't received a correct bill in months. I go to the online area to verify it and it is the same as my incorrect bill. Today, the lady told me to ignore the amount due and just pay the current charges amount from the usage. I told her I expected their math to be right and be able to tell me how much was due on my bill. These people are a special kind of STUPID! I am gone! ”
