Amigo Energy Reviews

Charges/ bill
Amigo energy's meter to my apartment broke, it was unfunctional so for months they could not charge me the actual kW usage to my apartment. After they replaced it, I received a $1000+ bill saying that that was the amount owed. I had been paying the bill they had been sending me, it was a low amount. After I complained to them about the high bill and requested actual records of the kw usage for those months the meter was broken I only received the answer that those numbers had come from center point and according to them they were correct. My question is, if it took them months to notice te meter was broken, this means they never really actually came to my apartment complex to get an actual reading. Second, when I asked how they knew the exact amount of kW I had used, they simply said that they just somehow knew. Never really told me how though! After, I complained about the truthfulness of their records they gave the reason that since the meter was broken they went on previous history readings to assume the charges. Then I told them that it was impossible since the property I live in was built over what used to be farm land and it had just opened and I was one of the first residents to move in. So there was no history they could use. Amigo energy has not been able to provide a real reason or records to me for the charges, I disputed the bill and actually disputed the following bills as well because as I check on the meter, after receiving otter bills I noticed I had been over billed by as much as 1500 kW and as low as 500 kW then I had actually used. I'm still arguing with amigo energy. They keep threading to deactivate my power and have actually done it once and they continue to ask me to pay the amount even though they and or center point hasn't been able to provide the info I requested. Check into it please! Thanks!

STAY AWAY, customer service is TERRIBLE
I signed up with Amigo energy for connection of service for a new move-in approximately a week prior to my move date. I received LESS THAN 24 hrs. notice that they could not connect service on my requested date, but would connect the day after. I did not check my email that day, as I was closing on my house, packing, and moving, so I found out that there was no electricity when the persons vacating the house I bought called and told us it had just gone off.

I immediately called Amigo. They said that my problem was with Oncor, so I called them. Oncor informed me that they had nothing to do with requests for service other than fulfilling them, and that I needed Amigo to request that my power be turned on. After calling Amigo back and asking for a priority move in to be placed, I was told it was not "their policy" to request priority move in. I explained that I do not have family locally, that I have a small child, and that it was dark and hot. They said that there was nothing they could do, hung up the phone on me, and when the call was returned and a supervisor requested I was put on hold repeatedly in the middle of the conversation and could hear laughter in the background. I called Oncor again, and they told me that as long as a request was received within the next several hours, they could turn my electricity on.

After hours on the phone, countless minutes waiting on hold, and the most rude customer service "professionals" I have ever had the misfortune to encounter, I was finally told by Amigo that they would request priority move in, but that I would be charged $100 on my next bill for their doing so. I told them to please go forward with the request regardless, and my power was on within two hours.

My issues are these:

*How can 24 hrs notice be sufficient to let a customer know that they will have no power the day needed (new customer)

*The lack of professionalism consistently experienced with multiple customer service reps, including the supervisor who finally took my call after I was told during two prior calls that a supervisor was "unavailable". I cannot understand why the priority move-in request was not placed immediately, when I called the first time in the early afternoon. At 8pm that evening, after hours of calls, that was the outcome.

CHEAP, but NOT worth the headache.

STILL "Slamming" NPC Customers since 2008
Well, they're at it again...Amigo Energy has sent out "Legal Demand" letters under the letterhead "Fulcrum Energy." The gist of the letter was to try once more to collect monies they illegally earned when National Power Company (NPC) went under in June 2008. Ring a bell? I called them about the letter, giving them my PUC complaint number from back then and a history of how this account was settled...including a letter from them that incorrectly calculated what I owed (somehow, in Amigo-land, 790 kWh x 0.165 = $382.80. The representative I talked to today said the letter had been "poorly written". Ya think??) My last communication with them was a letter recalculating their math, and sending a check for the correct amount in Oct. '08. Hadn't heard from them since then...until now. My guess is that they're hoping people didn't hold on to there records from back then, and don't have the history to back it up. After FIVE telephone calls today, and with the more and more background I could provide them (as I dug deeper, revealing how they had illegally switched me. I was a NPC fixed-rate customer and POLR didn't apply to me. But in their eagerness to rope in all the orphaned NPC accounts, they...well...let's say their sale pitch was..."poorly written.") If any of this rings a bell, look out. If you have records to prove up that you were an NPC fixed-rate customer when they went under, and you've received this letter DO NOT SETTLE. You do NOT owe them money. You should have never been switched to them. I haven't had a single complaint about my new provider...they actually know how to run a business, and offer a product at a fair price.

Poor Customer Service
Just got off the phone with their customer service rep. They can't find my payment. I let the woman know I didn't appreciate the tone of her voice and her snotty attitude. Same condescending tone, different rep each time I call even when it's their mistake they take your inquiry as personally offensive. Horrible service, l'm switching ASAP!

Billing
I get phone calls from Amigo Energy stating that I'm past due.<br />
Infact I have ended the contract and confirmed it more than 4 times that I do not owe anything. <br />
Even after I ended the contract and moved to another state, I still get calls from them.<br />
I talked to one of the customer service representative. He checked and told me that it was there mistake and apologized and assured me that I will not get calls hereforth. Yet I get calls and talked to another Customer Rep. Again the same assurance from them. When I asked them what guarantee will I have that I will not calls again. I was told that a note will be put in a system that I do not owe anything. Still I get calls from them. I do not get why they call me. But when they verify it, they apologize it has been a mistake from their side. And again I get calls from them.

OverBilling/Horrible Customer Service
Amigo Energy-WRONG NAME! Nothing "Amigo" about the whole company. They over bill, tell you off, put you on hold for long periods of time, hang up on you, and lie about what they are going to do to resolve all your issues. Save yourself the trouble and look else where for buisness. You dont need these people in your life, its too short.

Poor customer service
Hi,
I had requested Amigo to transfer services to our new home address 14 days ago by using their myamigo site (Customer Self Service Portal). I had received a confirmation of my request by email.

14 days later, when we moved to our new home address, our electricity was disconnected. When we called Oncor, our TDSP, we were told there was no request to connect service to our new home by our retail electricity provider (Amigo Energy).

When I called their Customer Service number, they said they did not receive any transfer request (although I do have the confirmation email from them). When I told them I had the email, they still kept on insisting they did not receive any request & it would take them 3-7 business days to connect us.

We have very young children in our family & we could not live without electricity in the Texas heat! I explained our situation to their Customer Service agents (more than once) but they refused to connect us earlier than usual; which they could by paying a Priority Connect fee to Oncor (TDSP).

So we were left without electricity in our new home when we moved in & had to look for another Electricity provider who could connect us the next day (by paying the Priority connect fee from our pocket, not to mention having no electricity in the house for a whole day).

I would like to recover the extra money I had to pay due to error at Amigo Energy & also get compensated for the hardship on my family.

Is there any Consumer Organization that can help us?

"seasonal rate" = fixed?
So i signed up for a "fixed" rate without knowing it had a "seasonality rate". So it is "fixed" in the sense that the pre-determined rates for the 3 seasons does not change. However, once you get to a new season, the rate changes and they start billing you more. Fixed should be fixed...no seasonality, no variablity, fixed for the entire contract. The PUC should not let them come-up with these creative plans to sign-up customers.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
I had just signed up with amigo energy. My first bill I was very happy with, but I had problems paying it. The web site is set up to bill to your bank account using a check method. I do not use checks only debit. I went on the web site and typed my acct number and routing number which, now I know were incorrect. I thought everything went ok, but over a week later I was sent an email that the acct didnt exist. I work at a hospital and can not stop to find time to call these people so I sent an email. I never get a responce so I again try to send the payment through internet. Again it gets bounced back. I find this out a week later. I then find out they have a"pay station" at my local walgreens. I go there and the girl at the counter points at a red phone. So now Im in the middle of the counter giving out private information so that I can pay my bill. I then find out there is a 6.00 charge for "money gram". I get to the counter to pay with my debit and the girl said moneygram only takes cash! Thanks for telling me before hand! This time I go to the bank to get the correct acct info. I pay my bill. This month I get a bill charging me 50.00 in fees and a 4.00 late fee. I called thinking that this place can help work with me since this was my first payment and I did try to get help paying it via email (which they never did email me back or call me) they may reduce or eliminate charges. The guy on the phone listened to me but then went on to say he can set up automatic payment. He was also trying to collect my payment today when I just got the bill yesterday. This was not why I called. He stated no fees will be changed. The bill will remain as is. I have NEVER talked to a customer service agent that was not willing to work something out or negotiate. I asked for a supervisor and he said there was no supervisor working there at this time (saturday). I told him I'll call back when someone can help me and hung up. So I will try to make time to call Amigo on Mon but I now have a really sour taste in my mouth.
