“  I have never been late paying my bill. I was less than 24hrs late on my bill for October. I paid my bill the next day which happened to be pay day and when I had scheduled to pay it anyway. When I noticed that it was late and a late fee had been added to my account, I called to address it. Seems like all their reps are remote, I could hear children in the back ground. The person I spoke with had "submitted for a refund to be allocated to my bill, and told me to pay the difference which was $12.26 less than the amount showing on my account." When I received the next months bill there was only a credit of $2.26 that had been applied to my account and the $10.00 late charge had been reallocated as another fee, which means I had a balance going forward from the previous bill, which also meant that they didn't actually credit me the fee's that they said they did, they just reallocated it to a different line item. When I called to dispute the charges, we went round and round with them not understanding that I never got the credit that they supposedly removed from my account. Which means as long as I paid what my bill showed I would always have a balance going forward. This company lies and cheats to make money. please don't buy into the hype, they are not an honest company to do business with. ”

“  It is egregious and greedy to send out and charge a $20 Notice of Disconnect three days after the due date on a residential account. The late fee charged is reasonable and appropriate in that timeframe. But the $20 Notice of Disconnect three days after the due date is a greedy and a desperate over reach.
Since Just Energy ( the owner of Amigo, Hudson, Tara and others) is trying to bounce back from its bankruptcy you would think the best approach would be to attract and retain customers, not shake them down for a one time fee and risk the customer getting upset and leaving Just Energy, and letting everyone they know not to use them.
I also feel it is dishonest and sneaky that the portal had the "Pay" amount to include the $20 fee but no where on the site did I see an itemized charge for $20 DN - I discovered it by calling Just and questioning the charge. It is likely an intended tactic so that the unsuspecting customer doesn't realize what they are charged and will likely get hit with a similar charge in the future. ”

“  I am a new customer to Xoom. I contacted the company about my first bill I received that was for only 2 service days. Starting 9/1 ending 9/3. They charged me the full AGL base passthrough fee of $28 dollars for only 2 service days. When I inquired why my first bill would only be for 2 days or why they could not prorate/credit my bill they said Sorry. Our system automatically starts new service dates on 1st of each month. Okay no problem, but if they know new service starts on the first why would they have their billing system setup to end statements on the 3rd of each month? This means each new customer gets charged the full AGL passthrough fee for only an initial 2 day service period. Seems like a scam and a rip off too me. They tried to tell me it all had to do with the day the meter was read. Okay fine too, but charging people a full base fee for only a 2 day service bill is unethical at best. ”

“  Near the end of your contract, they send letters stating you will no longer be a customer if you do not renew. This is not true. You will be a customer, and they will hike up your rate. You find this out after getting an enormous billand its too late. You will end up paying way more than you saved on that one bill. Even if they gave you gift cards. ”
