Stream Energy - Company Information

“  I've been with stream since 2009. I'm not sure if someone new came in, but the customer service department is beyond awful. I moved in December and I contacted stream to advise of my new address change and a transfer services. The Rep that I spoke to made the mistake of not listening me and he placed me on a much higher rate plan. I went from a 2000 square-foot house to a 700 square-foot villa. My bill for Jan and Feb were $170 and $152. My bill was never that high at my prior address. Take note I was living is a 3 bedroom home.When I called to let them know this was a mistake. I spoke to a Supervisor by the nameor Mareno. He told me he could not do anything about the charges. I told him I wanted to cancel my service and he immediately told me "Okay." He could care less. I wonder how many other customers they are going to run off. I called TXU and I was given a very low rate that would not change for a year. I then received a call from a Kerri at the retention department. I explained to her all of the above. She tried to convince me to come back to stream. I told her I was not going back to be treated so poorly. She told me she would waive the $250 fee for my cancellation and she would go ahead and send the high bill to the "investigation department."I just received a call from a Manny from the investigation department. He was very rude and told me the rate was correct. I tried to explain to him that I was not a new customer and his response was comical. He told me he could not do anything about the charges. Why is this guy working there?I had to tell him how to treat customers. When you call someone and leave a voicemail. Speak at an average speed and make sure to repeat your number twice. When I called him his voicemail he did not state his name. Extremely unprofessional . I'm pretty disgusted with this company. Please take note that a contract must be signed for a set rate and they will change it at any moment, It was a great company when they began. I was treated well and respected. I'm guessing they grew and we are only a number to them. They have become greedy and I foresee customers cancelling their services sooner than later. Meanwhile I cannot get a hold of Kerri. When you hear STREAM run as fast as you can. ”

“  The rep took my deposit for buisness account. Then get a call saying tax id isnt sufficient. Rep took two days and still told me i needed to wait. He threatened me and said let's meet in personal he wanted to fight. I called and handle it myself with streams buisness department. Then when I wanted to file a complaint it gets disconnected. ”

“  I signed up with Stream energy in September 2019, at the time I was told they would pay my cancellation fee to my current supplier, $100. To date I have not received my reimbursement. I have McAllen them repeatedly, sent them whatever paper work was necessary and they continue to come up with excuses. I have spoken to two managers, my phone call to them was recorded, they claim they listened to it when the customer service person told me the $100 would be reimbursed. I have now taken legal steps to get my moneybrefipunded. I am tired of the run around ! ”

“  I had to call in to try and pay my bill and had to give my account # 5 times before the cs rep got it right. In addition to having to repeat my address including spelling it out multiple times. Then I had to tell her the amount of my bill a couple of times. I went to give her my credit card number and after repeating it twice she asked me to repeat it again because she said she "WROTE IT DOWN WRONG". I said nevermind I will pay it online. Hoping she didn't sell my credit card number to anyone!!! Ready to cancel my account now due to total inefficiancy! ”

“  I WAS PLACED ON HOLD FOR OVER AN HOUR , NO ONE GOT BACK WITH ME. I FINALLY HUNG UP. I CALLED TXU, GOT AN ANSWER IMMEDIATELY & GOT SERVICE SET UP TODAY. ”

“  Worst customer service in the world. They hang up on you. They never try to resolve your issues. All they know is MONEY!!! Never sent me any letter for any notifications, no matter plan expiration or new contract since I went to paperless invoices. They keep saying they sent, but actually not. NO EMAIL EITHER! They are super happy to charge you with the flex rate without notifing you and even after you renewed with fixed rate, they will charge you with flex rate for a period as well. If you are on auto-pay, you would be in TROUBLE! If you are not on auto-pay, they will charge you additional fee no matter how you pay them!!! Worst company in the world! Worst customer service in the world! NEVER go to them for any services, so many options, why them? ”

“  I have been with Stream more 4 years, but finally realized they're deceiving by all means. They decided not to send bills in order to charge late fees. I called them many times but nothing is done. They even decided by end not to send energy weekly report... They're more than worst ”

“  I had a personal account rep who took care of everything. Very knowledgeable. I was able to signup seamlessly and literally cut my bill in half.. Previous provider was Just energy. Was great till they jacked my rate up to .22 cents/kwh.Now I have a great plan and with a fixed rate. No service issues to speak of. ”

“  Since my husband switched to Stream in 2005, we have been overwhelmingly pleased with the service and rates that we have. There are no hidden fees and the bills are really low in cost compared to the previous company! Thank you, Stream! ”

“  Stream is the worse of the worse. They dont care about you, and they wont work with you on nothing. They will take your money and not even care if the service the provide is being provided or not. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE customer service. DO NOT USE STREAM!! ”

“  I was struggling to pay my Georgia Natural Gas ® bill due to the high rates. My bill on average was $160 a month. I switched to stream through a friend and my new bill is $56! I am so amazed by this. So happy with the savings. ”

“  Told me they except solar. Had solar installed. For 6 months I had the solar active, but not using it. Started using the service, thinking I had built up a lot of energy. Received a bill. Called and was told they don't except solar. Lost all the energy. ”

“  I work in an industry that deals with people's homes on a daily bases. I would never refer anyone to this company. I was even an agent for Stream. I signed people up for their services!! Because the agents have no idea what they are doing and have mediocre training my gas was shut off for a $40 balance in the middle of winter. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!! If I could give no stars I would........ ”

“  I have approximately 10 years with Stream Energy and in all these years everything has gone very well it has never really gone extremely high and now I have to renew my contract in a couple of months and I will do it again ”

“  Customer service is worst. They hang up on you. Had my electric on auto pay and got electric turned OFF! Their system is worst. They lie. Told me it would be up to 48 hours to get on. I have smart meter. They said AEP turns it on. AEP said that is not true. Stream can send signal. It's a run around. They are incompetent. ”

“  I have been w/Stream for a few years and happy! Low rates, good customer service, etc.! ”

“  I made a comtract with Stream Energy for 6 months. After 6 months they called me to ask if I wanted to renew the contract and I said no. After several months of not knowing that they were charging me 50 dollars monthly, I called ComEd and asked why my bill was so expensive and they said that it was because I was with Stream Energy. Even though I didn't renew the contract they claimed that they were still going to charge me. I wouldn't recommend this service to anyone. Absolutely horrible. ”

“  I do not recommend getting new services with them. I have had them for almost a year & the customer service is horrible. I have never been late on a payment and they decide to take charge my account twice for a $234 bill!! Not once was there and consideration that I had other bills due. I was told 24-48 hours for a refund. The. After 48 hours I was told 7-10 days. Im waiting for my contract to end so I can cancel them all the way out. They are very in professional! ”

“  I just want to warn everybody I know to stay away from Stream Energy! My parents have been loyal customers for years now. But since my Dad (88 yrs) got cancer and had to move in with my sister, they have been trying to charge them a $250 early termination fee. Each time we have contacted them to get the fee dropped, they have given us a different hoop to jump through saying the previous one wasn't good enough. Nobody we talked to in Customer Support speaks English as their first language and some of them you can't understand half of what they're saying and they can't understand you. I have spent several days worth of time working on this and that doesn't count the time my mother spent before me. We were both left on hold multiple times for over an hour and finally hung up. I regret recommending Stream to her. As soon as my contract expires, I WILL be switching to another provider. ”

“  This company was fine at first, decent rate. First of all, they wanted to go up on my rate at renewal time. Secondly, I couldn't pay the monthly bill unless I did it through their app (which was horrible btw) or there was always a convenience fee between $3-$5 so I played along with the app. So then i finally decide to go with another company for my electrical needs and when service with them ended, they stopped/ended/canceled my login account/app and are now forcing me to pay one of their wonderful fees for my last payment. Wrong, wrong, wrong. And if one is inclined to call them about any of these issues, have fun being being put on hold forever and never get any help. Stay away! ”
