Charge/Fee Reviews

“  I usually dont leave 1 star reviews, but here is my experience. Here is the bad parts you will experience. 1 If you have a tiered plan or a credit based on usage plan... then know that you will get useless feedback... I started receiving usage emails in January after 3 months of being on a plan where I need to monitor my usage or else I get charged a higher rate. Then the emails of my usage make absolutely no sense. I received a usage summary on August 28th for my usage between July 29th and August 24th and that I had 110 kWh left before I go up a tier, and only 3 days left on the billing period... Sounds like a good email to send on the 24th instead of the 29th when the billing period is already OVER.

They have 0 useful online tools to track usage.

Now on to how my business started with Constellation. I didn't receive a bill for the first month and a couple of weeks so I checked the website and called in. Another few weeks go by and still no bill. Tell them that I don't need them to stack up a bunch of my bills to dump months of energy charges on me all at once and that they were aware of their mistake. I was assured I wouldn't get back billed. This goes on for 3 full months and what do you know they start firing out the bills in December to get their money. I have 3 bills between December 20th and January 30th, but true to their word they didn't bill me for the first month (as they didn't have any meter reading on me and legally couldn't I guess)... If I hadn't of called they would have likely still not billed me to this day. That doesn't even go into the hour I had to call support because their website refused to accept my credit card info that I had to call in to give them over the phone

Completely disorganized company, the website is utterly useless, The energy tracking information for tiered plan and bill credit users is so incompetent it feels like a borderline scam that is defective by design. Then they want to push a 10 cent per kWh plan on me because it has something to do with repairing AC units if they break down. ”

“  Did not know this before I signed up for Frontier if I had of I would not had chosen them I was one day late and they send you a letter of disconnection notice charges you 20.00 for that and then chargers you late fee on top of that because I had missed the cut off I got charge $ 33.43 on top of my bill for being one day late I so glad that my contact is up with them this next month. The renewal is double to what I was paying so BYE BYE FRONTIER ”

“  I can't get a live agent or pay my bill. They changed their voice options format. Push a number no longer exists. Push 1 for billing and then everything is voice. I lose my voice twice a month due to my disability. I'm not computer literate and Done trust internet payments. I now need to find another energy provider because of this discrimination against the disabled. That's a good LEGAL reason why to break contract without fees. ”

“  I manage my neighbors/friends electric account, Smart Energy told her via telephone their rate was better, obtained her contact thru ppl, (I changed her to NO SHARING), they switched her from a rate .067 Cirro good company, to .1023. She had a contract w/cirro for 2/18 - 2/19 and would have had cancellation charges to boot. Cirro did not charge her and was great to help me solve this injustice, ppl could see that she had been scammed and did nothing about this and made it harder to get back to Cirro without first charging their increased rates for 7 days. ”

“  They will promise to help you save. Its the fees they charge that get you. When u sign the contract with them. They know u cant switch without paying that very high cancellation fee. So they start with $20 fees here $6 there before you know it. You are paying an average of $34-$96 in fees more every month on top of your electric usage ”

“  I decided to use XOOM for my gas Provider and in one month I had bill of $358.25 ($158.62 - 44.28%) charges more than my local Gas Company. I switched because time when I switch rate of XOOM was little less than my gas company NJNG. Afte one year they shoot up price like anything and i ended up paying dearly. By the time i realized what was going on it was two years and i must have paid $$1500 more than i should have paid since i have large house and i live in NJ in colder weather. To save couple cent, do not switch to this shady company who will show upfront some saving and lock you in contract and you forget to switch after contract is over. ”
