Disconnect Fees and Problems (418 reviews)
Nice of them to take my money and not provide service!!!
“ I pay all my bills at the same time. I had thought I paid the electric bill. I didn't get a second notice or anything but I got my power turned off. I have a smart meter so it's done quickly. I electronically sent payment. I was on the phone with them to keep asking when they could give the okay to the energy provider to turn service back on. Kept saying it would take a couple hours. Next day, I still did not have power. I got a proof of payment from my bank to see when they received the funds. They received my money the same day it was disconnected. I called customer service and then they said it would take 5 to 7 days to proccess the payment. I couldn't understand since it was in their hands electronically. Since they had my payment, why could they not turn my power on in this modern age of information technology?Well they said they understood 5 to 7 days is a long time to go without power and said next time pay by phone instead of electronically. I said there will not be a next time and I jumped ship. I called TXU and got power less than two hours. Month later and just now they are hitting me up with an early cancellation charge of 250. I talked to a manager and he said I broke the contract for not paying for consumed service. I told him I was paid up in full and had proof and they broke the contract by not providing service. I'm going to see if I can fight them on the charge once I get the contract reviewed by the lawer. ”

Billing issues
“
Every month the billing department receives my check and deposits it but doesnt credit my account for weeks later.
I receive disconnect letters even though I call customer service and email them copies of my cancelled checks.
I have requested a call from the billing department numerous times only to be told they dont return calls. ”

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
“ Forgot to pay bill so I got a disconnect notice. Sent check by express mail , it cleared my bank and then they cut off power a week after my check cleared my bank. Called them and had to pay again plus disconnect and connect charge. They asked me to send proof of my payment which I faxed to them. They never acknowledged receipt of fax until I called , didnt reverse disconnect and connect charge until I asked and never apologized for their mistake. I was out fax charges , copy charges , time and food in fridge.DO NOT USE FRONTIER ”
