Deposit Reviews

“  What I dont understand is why when your plan expires they jack up the rate per kWh. Every provider Ive had does it including Ambit. What about customer loyalty? Doesnt matter - its all about hail to the ol mighty dollar. Was an Ambit customer for 2+years and paid late a few times because the bill was so high I couldnt afford it. They charge enormous late fees and will disconnect your service at the drop of a hat then demand the bill + deposit of $400 or greater. I had to pay over $600 to get it reconnected. They turned it off during the summer here in Texas and I have children in my home. I dont think that deregulation should mean deregulating completely. The fees they charge usurious and she be banned. I dont think I save any more money now then I did when TXU was the only provider. I think the whole electricity industry is running a racket. ”

“  This company is so easy to get, but beware they ask for deposits again and again! Their customer service is no where near proffesional. I am just waiting for my contract to be over! ”

“  I currently have 3 stream electric accounts and
have done
business with for years. I am in the
investment business of
buying and selling homes, constantly needing
service turned on and
off. Getting new service with these guys is
the most painful
call I make. It always starts with a rep who
can't speak or communicate the English language
or read number back to you? After 30 minutes
of torture they tell me I have to pay a $250.00
deposit. I then ask to talk to a supervisor
and he says it's a new policy everyone pays a
$250 deposit for new service. What a shame.... ”

“  Ive had Xoom Natural gas for 6 months, no problem. Then I moved to another town, I asked them to switch it over to my new address, they never did! Their online service is terrible, its hard to log in, it wont accept your password, so I had to call costumer service to help me, they told me I could not get service at my new location because I never gave them $150.00 deposit for their service. I have never heard of such a thing. They didnt ask for that when I first got natural gas from them at my previous address, now they want $150.00 deposit? Sounds like a scam to me. Im going to contact the BBB about this. Well see if I get the natural gas that I ordered from Xoom. Customer service is nice but they dont know the answers to the questions I ask. Do not use this company, terrible service! ”

“  Customer Service set up 3 different accounts, all I want a transfer service, paying on three different accounts, they delete 3 times , shut power off in the process, in span of 24 hrs, one 8 Representative did not know what was done on account. Plus requesting a $600 deposit. WTF... They blew out 2 of my UPS and computer monitors with shut downs. ”
