“ More than doubled my bill in December. 600 dollars. Then after I canceled they sent me another 500 dollar bill. These people should be in jail. Hope they burn in hell ”
“ They hook you with a 3 month low rate, and they double the going rate!!! Beware..... ”
“
Im such a fool wanting those southwest points little did I know NRG was hiking the price through hidden small print deception til I was paying double
Im embarrassed and angry at myself and have nothing but contempt for the greed of NRG. I will share my story with all the public outlets I can as long as I can. NRG is evil ”
“ After the promotional price my rate increased, but slowly. In November my bill went from $50 a month to $125. December $160. I'm afraid to see January's bill. I switched back to AEP. Never again. If I could they will get a 0 rating. Rip off!!!!! ”
“ They're scammers!! Charged my bill $500!!! When they say they will save you money! Don't listen! Just say no like I wish I would've. Then when I tried to call about the problem I was on hold for 10 minutes and still nobody answered! Horrible company!! ”
“ They suck you in with a lower rate that quickly doubles after a 90 day period. Then they statebit will take 2-3 billing cycles to transfer to original carrier. B.S. Dont fall for these folks. ”
“ I'm a customer of DP&L. Met a lying NRG sales in shopping mall and was told to provide a bit personal info for their survey for gift card. 1 hr later, I got a confirmation email stating I already switched to NRG services. Called NRG customer services and was told they cannot cancel this contract even though it has no my consnet. I told them on their statement, it says I can also cancel this contract within 7 days with no charge, but they still refused to cancel it. Called DP&L to solve this scam. ”
“ Didn't email, mail or call to notify my 6 month contract was about to expire as they are required to do and instead started charging we 17 cents per kWH instead of the 10 cents on my contract. I'd suggest finding some one else to sign up with. ”
“ I, like others, fell victim to their promotion scam. I signed up at Menards, I knew that there would be a jump in price after the promotion period. But I didn't realize it would more than double. Defiantly stay away from these guys. ”
“ Like others, I signed up for a promotional rate with an offer of free airline points. The good rate held steady for several months, then it went from less than 5 cents, to 5 1/2 cents, to 9 cents and then up to 12 cents. It happened before I realized it. There was no notification. Are they within their rights? I guess so if they don't mind losing my business. ”
“ They have been charging my dead father for 10 months and still won't close his account. I have been calling every month or two since January. They always tell me it is in the process of transferring but they can't do it yet until somebody takes over his place. They have someone else call me back in two weeks to tell me the same thing. It has now been 10 months and I have a bill for over $500. His electricity was turned off 9 months ago. They are just stealing his money. It is coming up to the day where I can close his account but they still have not removed this bill. They are a horrible company with horrible customer service. Be aware they will cheat you out of money. ”
“ This company is con artist, they will get you with 3 months special rate than your bill will double, or like mine went up 400%. PLEASE STAY AWAY. They got me at Menards with $50 dollars gift card, i regret my decision. Please be wise, do your research. ”
“
The sales guy got me at Menards. He worked for NRG Engery. He showed me the rates and I asked him if he could show me the fine print details, especially as it relates to cancellation. He said he would email them to me and had me enter my email on a tablet and click the box that I want to receive correspondence. I did so and it turns out that one action signed me up for the service. I was livid and called the company to make a complaint about this man. I was going to sign up anyway but being tricked into it was no cool.
Anyway...that bit of sleaze and slime aside I enjoyed a low energy rate for six months. My mistake was that I did not select a new provider to take effect before the variable rate changed. When it changed in the month of December (yes during the holidays) I did not have my eye on the ball and the rate doubled from almost six cents per kWh to nearly 12 cents. My electric bill is already on the high side because we have electric heat so this snafu meant we got a bill for over $1000!!! The following month was $800 because it takes times for the providers to be changed. Those bills should have been half those amounts so I threw away roughly $900. ”
