Problems with Fees and Charges (665 reviews)
NO customer service!!
“ We've had Clearview for a year, because they had a competitive rate and offered 100% renewable with no fees. I was interested in renewing for a year but unbelievably, they cannot seem to make it happen. I tried 3 times to login to my account online. The site didn't recognize my password even though it's correct. I clicked "forgot my password" each time but never got an email to reset. I tried calling customer service. Both times it said there was a 2 min wait, but after 15 min I hung up. I sent an email to customer service saying I just wanted to sign up for more service, but if I couldn't get a response, I would choose an alternative. Guess what I got -- yup, nothing. If they could provide even a hint of service I'd stay, but now I'm concerned that if this is how they respond to requests for business, I'll never get help if I actually have a problem. ”

Mistake Made
“ My boyfriend and I moved in with each other previously having had Reliant and Veteran Energy. I loved Reliant but was hoping to get a cheaper rate having had more information this time around. Last time I clicked on the first link that popped up. This time, I did research on power to choose. Infinite had cheaper prices than our previous companies and had fairly good reviews with no hidden fees. There were no problems until the bill came. Our bill was twice as high as our previous bills with other companies and we're keeping the blinds closed, the air above 80 consistently, unplugging misc items. After the first bill we decided to cut back our energy (specifically air) and the second bill WAS EVEN HIGHER?! How does that even happen? Our energy usage has consistently gone down per our weekly energy reports but our overall bill was higher, which makes absolutely no sense to me. Have no clue where the Delivery Charge comes from and why it's half the bill. Feel like they just pick a random number and charge it with no explanation. I feel like we're getting ripped off...it would probably be cheaper to pay the dumb early termination fee and switch to another company. We would probably even recoup our fee and save money over time because our bill is way too high. Feeling frustrated and cheated. Definitely won't be going with infinite again. The only good thing is the weekly reports sent.....but that seems fake now. ”

Beware and Stay Away!
“ The pricing and service was not bad but their customer service and sales team ended up cheating me by falsely signing me up renewing my contract and then later billing me for breaking of the contract. After 12 months my service was up; I received a sales call and I told them over the phone NO I did not want to renew the contract as I was in the process of moving overseas. Naturally I called to disconnect and I paid the final bill. I left overseas and did not give them a forwarding address because I was done with them. A year later I return to US and go to purchase a Home when all of a sudden I see my credit rating has negative hits on it from Veteran's Energy. They opened up 3 lines each for $348 which took my credit rating down over 150 points. I called and they told me that I had early termination fee which they charged because I renewed the contract and then canceled that same month. I told them I did not renew and then they said they outsource their sales team and cannot verify. They admitted that I was never late on payment nor delinquent on actual services just on the early cancellation fee plus late fees on top of that. ”
