Charge/Fee Reviews

“  Where do I start? I just finished a 2 year contract and am looking elsewhere. I customer service rep tricked me into the aforementioned 2 year contract by quoting me low rates than the plan actually offered. When my bill was higher than I anticipated, I looked at the bill and the rate per kwh was higher than the representative told me to get me to sign a contract for 2 years. When I contacted them to complain, I was told by a supervisor that not only would they review the taped conversation but would send it to me. The only part of the conversation that they sent to me was the end where you hear me agreeing to the plan. I complained. Nothing happened. I was stuck for 2 years. Next, your due date can fluctuate within 7 days from month to month. Based on my budget, I have to schedule my bills based on my pay, not a company's due date. So let's say my bill was on the 3rd of the month and I set my payment to pay from my bank on 30th of the prior month. The due date may move to the 28th. That wouldn't be a big deal as that is only a couple days late. But Ambit sends you a disconnection notice if you are 1 day late and consequently charges you a $40 disconnection fee whether you are at threat for that or not. I gave them a 4 in customer service because the actual representatives are always professional and pleasant. But the business practices of the company are underhanded and deceitful. I would not recommend this company. ”

“  I usually dont leave 1 star reviews, but here is my experience. Here is the bad parts you will experience. 1 If you have a tiered plan or a credit based on usage plan... then know that you will get useless feedback... I started receiving usage emails in January after 3 months of being on a plan where I need to monitor my usage or else I get charged a higher rate. Then the emails of my usage make absolutely no sense. I received a usage summary on August 28th for my usage between July 29th and August 24th and that I had 110 kWh left before I go up a tier, and only 3 days left on the billing period... Sounds like a good email to send on the 24th instead of the 29th when the billing period is already OVER.

They have 0 useful online tools to track usage.

Now on to how my business started with Constellation. I didn't receive a bill for the first month and a couple of weeks so I checked the website and called in. Another few weeks go by and still no bill. Tell them that I don't need them to stack up a bunch of my bills to dump months of energy charges on me all at once and that they were aware of their mistake. I was assured I wouldn't get back billed. This goes on for 3 full months and what do you know they start firing out the bills in December to get their money. I have 3 bills between December 20th and January 30th, but true to their word they didn't bill me for the first month (as they didn't have any meter reading on me and legally couldn't I guess)... If I hadn't of called they would have likely still not billed me to this day. That doesn't even go into the hour I had to call support because their website refused to accept my credit card info that I had to call in to give them over the phone

Completely disorganized company, the website is utterly useless, The energy tracking information for tiered plan and bill credit users is so incompetent it feels like a borderline scam that is defective by design. Then they want to push a 10 cent per kWh plan on me because it has something to do with repairing AC units if they break down. ”

“  Did not know this before I signed up for Frontier if I had of I would not had chosen them I was one day late and they send you a letter of disconnection notice charges you 20.00 for that and then chargers you late fee on top of that because I had missed the cut off I got charge $ 33.43 on top of my bill for being one day late I so glad that my contact is up with them this next month. The renewal is double to what I was paying so BYE BYE FRONTIER ”
