Problems with Fees and Charges (701 reviews)



Should of done more research

(1.8 / 5)

  You can easily find better alternatives than this company. My last bill was $116 for electricity charges (which isnt too bad) and then a $82 "utility service charge!" I understand having service charges but not for an amount that is more than half of my electricity usage. Suffice to say I will not renew with this company.

Hello Joe T,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. My name is Araceli and I want to reach out to you to answer any questions you may have regarding the charges on your bill. As you know all plans with all Retail Electric Providers have the charges from the TDSP (Transmission and Distribution Service Provider) this is to cover the generation of electricity and the maintenance of the power lines and equipment. Please feel free to reach out to us at www.Resolution@FrontierUtilities.com to further assist you.
Sincerely,
Araceli R.

A 10 Year Downward Spiral

(1.8 / 5)

  After more than a decade with Trieagle, my small company has moved on. In the beginning, this was a small electric company and all its services were good. The price was reasonable and the staff was helpful. Sadly, about 2 years into our time with them, I had to get ugly to get a review of a meter reading and an explanation of the answer I was given. However, between the time it was taking away from work and the daunting task of looking for a new provider, I decided to stay with them.
As the years went by, I noticed that, for all the new additions of "conveniences" through their customer service, there were some decidedly inconvenient things happening and I was still having to get ugly to get services taken care of. For example, when I explained that our mail service had become completely unreliable, it took another 10-12 months to get our account set up to pay online. So, for this time frame, our payments were always late and the late fees were exorbitant. I paid because it was not their fault the USPS was hiring inadequate carriers. But this went on so long I began to question their system, customer service and overall business ethics. Again, feeling the pressure of time constraints, I maintained my relationship as a customer.
The straw that broke the proverbial camel's back was when I got a broker to research new plans and they not only refused to give me a lower rate, but insisted that they would raise it. I signed with another company and am not looking back. I was sad that my 10 years+ meant so little to them, but am happy to say I'm saving a LOT of money with another company.

Bait and switch

(1.8 / 5)

  I was a customer with this company for last 5 yrs. when it was time for my renewal, I called the CS and asked for better rates, so they offered me a plan saying there is no fees or additional charges or no minimal charges. I accepted because rates were very competitive. Only after I got my first bill I understood that they cheated me to get a plan which had TDCU charges separate from energy charges, that means, I have to pay more than double what I was told my plan charges will be. for example, i thought I agreed for 11.4c per kwh but I have to pay 24.37c per kwh because TDCU charges and taxes are billed separately on the same bill.

HORRIBLE

(1.8 / 5)

  Customer Service Reps have no idea what they are doing or talking about. My Rep gave me the WRONG information. I paid my past due bill, asked if my service would be disconnected he stated NO you are good. Dont believe them.... I was disconnected away 30 minutes after the conversation. Charged a reconnection fee also, No one had answers of why i should still have to pay that fee. rep also told me my services were on at the time of the call, they were NOT. Took 5 calls back to them, supervisor transfer and still nothing. Their fees are cheap to get the service, however they are extremely difficult with everything else. FIND ANOTHER SERVICE COMPANY.

TOO MUCH

(1.8 / 5)

  This place is horrible. I have NEVER had electric bills so high. They are non caring. They cut my lights off even though I advised them I had epilepsy. I told them I just needed time to come up with the fees. I told them I simply forgot and my neurologist advised them that it may have been due to medication. But they did not care. This is the worst company ever.
