Disconnect Fees and Problems (416 reviews)
Unhappy Customer
“ Customer Service has not idea what my bill is or should be. I pay every month on-time. They switched billing companies mid-month and said I owed them $14 for 5 days, which I paid. Received notice of non-payment, called them, they said they received. Just received a disconnect notice plus $10 late fee for the $14. ”

Loyal Customer
“ I've been a loyal customer for almost 10 years now. I had to switch accounts for my billing. In the switch, I accidentally attempted to pay the bill with my old account. Well, once I found out that I made the mistake, I was charged a late fee, disconnect notice fee, and a returned payment fee....Though these charges were only $57, I have a problem with them not waiving them because of my tenure and loyalty as a good customer. I have a house full and I shell out at times up to $500 a month or more for service. Quite disappointed. ”

48 hours without power!!!
“ I've been a paying customer for 3 years on time - never missed. Renewal came up and Pulse had a better rate so I signed up. Trieagle came back with a counter offer if I would sign on with them for another 3 years. I was hesitant because I already had a date of service with Pulse but they said no problem they would take care of everything. And I specifically asked if they were sure because I didn't want to go without any service! Well on one of the coldest days of the year my power went out and I thought it was Centerpoint. After multiple aggravating phone calls it turned out Trieagle had disconnected me and whoever had written the new contracted had failed to put a start day in??? I went a FULL 48 HOURS without power and I have serious health conditions. Being in cold temperatures puts me in severe pain and compromises my immunity. I was soooo furious and to make matters worse I was lied to repeatedly by their CS reps. The first one told me I'd have service back on between 4p and 9p the first night. The next morning I was told it would be back on by 11a. Finally I got one that was honest but only after I wouldn't let him off the phone. He tried to blame it on Centerpoint but the truth was this so-called URGENT reinstatement had to go to another department at Trieagle (and getting anything done on a Sunday isn't likely) then to Ercot and then finally over to Centerpoint!!!! I know they are just a big company that doesn't give a bean and it's not personal for them but being the one freezing and unable to make a hot beverage felt personal to me!!! ”

They Failed to Provide Service
“
I confirmed my contract start date in early July to match up with the end of my previous contract. I received multiple notices confirming the contract. After a month without a bill, I called, was told there was a database error and that it was fixed. A month later nothing had changed. I called in to be told my account was not active despite never being given notice of a delay or cancellation in my order. The service had defaulted to that of the apartment complex with disconnection fees because Constellation failed to provide service as agreed. I never received an explanation as to how this happen and once I was actually told they weren't providing service, I closed out the account to seek other service.
The price, if they actually provided service, was decent. ”

Ripoff hidden fees
“ I've had DE for about 2 years now, as I am stuck in a contract. I switched from Reliant. DE's rate was advertised lower per kwh than what I was paying so I fell for it... but failed to realize all bogus fees. I've been in 1brdm small places and avg below 400kwh monthly for many years now low energy consumption - my Reliant bills were always around $40 bucks and even in summer around $65 - it's been double that now with DE. Same low energy consumption, but getting ripped a new one by hidden charges. Customer service is standard nothing to write home about. Those fees are ridiculous however - I'm an on-time and in-full paying customer, but one day the bill slipped my mind and I paid 1 day past the 'due date' - NOT 30 days late mind you...1 DAY PAST DUE DATE and they charged me $30 for a reconnect fee when I wasn't disconnected!! Are you kidding me! I will be moving into a new home purchase and this company will not be moving with me! I'll go back to Reliant or some other company with straight forward billing at fixed rate and no hidden-bogus-padding their pocket-fees. ”
