“ I use this electricity company(pre paid)when I'm working on my rental homes. I thought since that went well I would get a month to month for another small house on my property. My bill was $13-$15 BUT if I paid **1 DAY** late I got a disconnect payment of $20 EVEN if on the billing statement it says 5.0% after due date. Please be careful with this company do your research and shop around. I'm happy that I have Reliant Energy for my own house. ”

“ You are losing a customer today - because of your unwillingness to work with a person through a difficult situation - the only way through this will cost me money - I have worked for companies such as this and know the work around. It is sad that all you seem to care about is money and not the humans that make up your customer base. I will be posting this in as many places as I can find. -------------------------------------7/25/2019 9:17:53 a.m.Welcome to Ambit Chat.

Glen9:18:05 a.m.Hi! This is Glen. Thank you for contacting us through Ambit Chat. How can I help you? A5667*** | Rebecca Gates | (214) 779-****9:19:23 a.m.Hi Glen - I'm am Rebecca Gates - I set up a payment arrangement yesterday - went online to make my 'initial' payment of $100.00. selected the 'other amount' option - and to my amazing surprise - after I selected 'submit payment' button - the full amount was taken 9:19:49 a.m.I called in immediately and told my tale to the customer rep 9:20:23 a.m.was sent to the escalation dept after my request - and was told flat out that there is nothing Ambit could do because it was a 'past due' amount 9:20:27 a.m.and I did it online... 9:21:59 a.m.so I am pleading here trying to figure out - because now my bank account is over drawn - even though I set up a deferred payment plan with Ambit and something glitched - I am now faced with the payment getting returned, a nsf fee from my bank plus whatever returned payment fee Ambit will tack on because you can 9:23:03 a.m.so I'm asking one more time - is there ANYTHING that Ambit can do to fix this situation?? All I wanted when I called in yesterday was for the amount of the 'overpayment' of $257.22 be refunded so I wouldn't be in this situation. Glen9:23:39 a.m.Thanks for verifying your name. 9:23:47 a.m.I understand how difficult this may be for you. 9:24:29 a.m.If you want to cancel a transaction with check you need to contact your bank. However Ambit will apply a $25.00 rejected payment fee. A5667*** | Rebecca Gates | (214) 779-****9:25:09 a.m.How is this fair?? 9:25:21 a.m.I will still have to pay a cancellation fee with my bank as well 9:25:53 a.m.I loose money to this idiotic situation because no one on Ambit's side of things is willing to help or fix the situation 9:26:11 a.m.seriously - do you see how messed up this is??? Glen9:28:00 a.m.I understand your concern Ma'am. Unfortunately those are the policies. A5667*** | Rebecca Gates | (214) 779-****9:29:48 a.m.there is absolutely nothing Ambit can do to help out in this situation??? AT ALL?? 9:30:02 a.m.Except recommend I cancel this payment and incur more fees Glen9:30:40 a.m.Yes Ma'am. Because we can not cancel the payment. A5667*** | Rebecca Gates | (214) 779-****9:31:24 a.m.fantastic Glen - 5 stars for not being a real human and trying to work with a customer. 9:31:54 a.m.there's obvious nothing else that I can do except sit here and wait for my lights to get shut off 9:32:14 a.m.have a fantastic day Glen...know you and this company have ruined mine Glen9:32:48 a.m.In addition to help you checking your account status, is there anything else I can assist you with? A5667*** | Rebecca Gates | (214) 779-****9:33:00 a.m.no Glen9:33:06 a.m.Thank you for using Ambit Chat and have a wonderful day! 9:33:08 a.m.Agent has left the conversation 9:33:08 a.m.You have been disconnected from the chat ”
