Charge/Fee Reviews

“  My experience with Stream has to be the worst encounter I have had with any company. We recently moved into a house and they messed up transferring service. I spent hours on the phone with them dealing with something as basic as transferring service from the previous owner to me. This took several weeks and multiple calls. When all was said and done they billed me for charges related to their mistakes. They also billed me the wrong kwh rate. This resulted in another 4 phone calls to correct and to validate. I have not seen my next bill so I am not convinced the problem has been resolved. I think I have probably talked to just about everyone at their service desk. If I have to make another phone call to them it will be to drop their service. If you have a choice in electric providers look elsewhere!!!!! ”

“  Website account management is problematic. I called customer service last month and had to wait for 22 minutes. I'm on the phone again, its over 28 minutes and no luck yet. Startex Power, where customers see stars. Service charges have doubled. ”

“  I have been a customer of Stream for several years and have always paid my bills. Last month I went on vacation and swore I paid my bill, but somehow over looked it. I got back and realized the mistake, but power was shut off! Less than 1 month from the last due date. So on top of being shut off, there are late fees, reconnection fees (regular or if you pay me $40 more for what they call a priority reconnection fee but it actually has the same time frame as the regular reconnection fee!) The whole time expressing my concerns, I am being up-sold on a contracted plan!!!This place is ridiculous. I will be switching!! ”

“  I used to have 4change Energy when I first moved to Katy, Texas and one day I went to SAM's club and they had this rep from Just energy. He got my attention by saying that they could lower the bill and that they offered me free nights. Not knowing anything about the electricity market of TX I decided to go ahead and switch providers since Just Energy was going to pay for the switching fee too from the last provider. Little did I know that when they signed me up for the contract it was at $0.286/kWh and some little charges here and there and little did I know that even though they offer Free Nights from 9pm-6pm, my average bill quickly got to the $300 despite the fact of using about 600-700 kWh during so called "FREE nights". They got me good and now that I am switching to a different provider, they charged me the fee that they reimbursed me, when I first switched to them and also they signed me up for a 3 year contract. I was a fool, but now that I know how to check the Fact Label sheet of every electricity provider, I won't make the same mistake. Please pay attention to these JUST Energy reps and don't let their too good to be true promises get you in a situation where you are paying the highest electricity rate. ”
