Billing Reviews

“  I really wanted to like this company because of its dedication to the environment! However, I cannot say I do. First, billing is great. They give weekly updates of usage. Account management, not so much. They are trying to modernize their company to help with this but, at the moment customers who wish for phone or email to be primary contact are out of luck. Customer service is very polite. They help with whatever you need. However,15.6kW/hr negates this, at least for a graduate student. I cancelled my service because my energy bill was $200 dollars for my 919sqft apartment. Also, I changed the credit card information on our automatic debit and they still used the old information. This led to a late payment and lights being cut off. They did respond very quickly to the mistake but offered me a rate of 12.9kW/hr to make up for it. I went with another 100% wind company for 6.7kW/hr AND their first line of contact is phone and email, not traditional mail (more modernized form of communication is just my preference). So, in summary, the customer service is nice albeit indifferent. I would rather have a company that is less expensive and is so efficient that customer service is almost not needed. ”

“  I switched to Source in April 2013. I was thrilled at the lower rate. Everything was fine until I got my first bill, which was due more than a week earlier than what I thought I had set up. I'm disabled. I do not receive my income until the 5th of the month. When I called them about it, they said they only give a 14 day time period to pay the bill. They never said that to me when I was signing up and discussing that I needed my billing due date to be the 5th of each month. It took a lot of haggling to get my original agreement implemented, and then they acted like they had really done me a big favor. So, that lasted from May to August billings, and when I go to pay my bill on the 5th, I discover I have a late fee for being past due.... because they have suddenly upped my due date to the 3rd of the month, without any notice. Then suddenly after 21 years of disability under the State of Texas, the state changes disability providers, and gives all of us on disability a 14 day notice of the change, and that our checks for the month of September will not be direct deposited, and will be reduced by as much as 75% of our disability income for the month. So I call all my creditors and are able to make arrangements with all of them for a delayed payment until the next month without any late payment fees or disconnections... all except Source. I have 21 major health problems and one of them is fatal. Source to this moment has refused to grant me an extension to my next due date, Oct. 3. They are at this moment cutting my electricity off as of September 22, 2013. I am a 63 year old woman who lives alone. This act of non-humanity in extenuating circumstance beyond my control is nothing short of evil. For a brand new company, their lack of simple humanness is incredulous. I will be changing back to Reliant, my former electric company of many years come April 2014 when my contract is up. With "customer service" like this, who needs it? You'd think a new company would have much better business savvy to not only attract customers with better rates, but actually be a top notch company in customer service to retain them. Basic law of life, if they don't treat you in a compassionate manner in business, they don't need your business. They will not be getting mine back. I have candles. What little food I have will ruin. At least I'll still be able to take hot baths... my water heater is gas... and my gas company told me on the first call and explanation of my predicament, "no problem, and we'll waiver a late fee". You could learn something from this Source. Otherwise, word will get around quickly about how lousy a company you are, low rates or not. ”

“  the product and billing are great; but they lie to me to get me sign in the 1 year plan; i was told i will get a $100 gift card at the sign in, well no, once i sign with them they told me i had to be with them at least 3 months, after 3 months i called to request my gift card and i have been waiting 1 month so far and i am still waiting for it, and they keep bla bla blaing me that will be email, they cant send a form via regular mail and then bla bla bla the email never arrives to my email account (not in the inbox or spam folder); at this point i give up cuz i dont have more time to lose. be aware guys, according to my experience its a trick to get u... ”
