New Customer Review
I ordered service to start on 3/1/2024. I was never notified when to expect the first bill. As I did not request e-bills, So as of 4/4/2024 I began to watch the mailbox for my first invoice. As the middle of the month approached, I decided to call and ask when to expect the bill. To my astonishment, on or around 4/12/2024, I was told that the first bill was actually generated on 3/8/24 and since it had not been paid a letter of disconnection had been sent out. After speaking to the Customer Service Rep, we were able to sort everything out that day and I had my bank to send an immediate payment, in addition the Customer Service personnel was able to have the late fee reversed. She was extremely helpful. The disconnect with the billing dept not mailing or emailing me the first invoice.
Other than this initial hickup the company is doing great. |

New Customer
I recently signed up for a 2-year account, Paid my first bill thru BofA online checking and set the date 1 days prior to due date. I received a late notice email on the day my bill was due and notice of a late charge. I call in because BofA showed it paid I had selected (2 days prior). Xoom says it sometimes takes 2 days for them to process and for me to select an earlier date. Strange as I have never had to do this with any other provider - GNG, Scana, Gas South - always selected the due date and never had a problem. 2nd bill went thru and no email, sent for 2 days earlier than the due date, thought it was a one off. 3rd month I get an email missed payment assessment. BoA shows it clear on the 10th - due date of the 11th call customer no-service and I am told to select for it to be delivered even earlier because, while my payments are on time, their system automatically send the late emails on the due date. So for their problem I have to provide them a solution. instead of something as easy as setting up a delay in assessment emails, they would rather tell you to pay a week earlier than your due date so their electronic check processing system can post prior to their emails. I called this time because I want out of this dysfunctional relationship, I can't imagine doing this for 21 more months, it is not worth their discount. Nowhere in the contract did it say I would get late assessment every month when I actually paid them prior to due date. I can't fix their e-check processing system nor their accounts receivable. They are asking for 200 to get out of a contract - is this a company you want to spend your money on?
Shame I thought we had a new well priced provider in the area, I was wrong, very wrong. |

My contract is ending and I am leaving Xoom
Like other customers, I get late fees. I use bank bill-pay every month and have confirmation that the bill was paid on time. I complained to Xoom customer service about my recent on-time payment being considered past due and then talked to the Georgia Public Service Commission about that. Xoom customer service says Xoom does not post bank payments for 4 or 5 days, therefore it is late. One solution they suggested was that I could send my payment several days before the due date so that it would actually be on time. How many days ahead should customers pay? I should be able to pay their bill the same way I pay my other bills. I told Xoom that I would change providers because of this. They refunded my $10 late fee but that is not the issue..
In response to my complaint to the Georgia Public Service Commission, XOOM sent a letter. Their response to me says that my bank bill-pay payments are an "external payment option, not a preferred method of payment offered by XOOM Energy. Xoom has other payment options available such as IVR and auto pay that will avoid late fees from being assessed." Coincidentally, my Xoom contract will be over in 6 weeks. I have already talked with my new gas provider. |

The worst company to do business with!
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! |

No detailed bill and payment posted 10 days after receipt
New customer here and not very impressed. Their prices may be competitive, but is it worth the hassle of going back 20 years in how you pay bills? 1. Detailed bills are ONLY available if you have a paper copy mailed to you. You can see the balance in an email that they will send or on their payment portal but not a detailed bill. 2. My first payment was sent by the bank as an check (apparently Xoom can't receive a e-payment) and arrived prior to the due date, but it was not posted until 10 days after the due date and marked late. I was informed that the only way to ensure that payment is marked as received on time is to call, make a payment on their portal, or set up auto pay. I only use auto pay with trusted companies and Xoom had not earned my trust. |

Every month the billing department receives my check and deposits it but doesnt credit my account for weeks later. I receive disconnect letters even though I call customer service and email them copies of my cancelled checks.

Not really a deal at all
I used Infinite Energy until they were bought out. My rate with IE was $0.549 and my rate with Xoom Energy was $0.399. Yet my monthly bills arrived $20-40 more expensive than the corresponding month from IE despite having a lower rate. There must have been some added fees in there. I'm not sure, because the bill is very difficult to understand and the website is awful. I do not recommend Xoom. |

Lost payment
I was approved for LIHEAP this winter, the check ($1000) was sent on 12/13/21 deposited on 1/14/2022 and never credited to my account.A copy of the processed check was emailed to the address they provided but when my casemanagercalled they said it was the wrong one. He has gotten nothing but a runaround after several calls, they can't find the check record in their system, or the acccount even though the previous bills have all been paid. So there is a large sum of money they can not find that came from a federal source, I do not understand why the finance deptartment cannot track it. |

I should have listened to the negative reviews
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. |

Nightmare when switching to Xoom!
Their system when switching is full of pitfalls and errors. I had to call 4x and finally ask to speak to a supervisor to get my service switched when the upcoming deadline was approaching before my rate with my previous provider went up dramatically. Xoom said they were having technical issues switching customers, and even though the customer service reps were friendly, I might as well have been talking to a tree because nothing ever happened to fix the problem until I escalated. Xoom jeopardized my switchover and potentially was about to cost me major amounts of money. Its one thing to advertise lower pricing, but there must be the technical and service abilities to support customers who want to switch. Very bad experienc. |

Initial rate is good then gotcha at renewal
First, their website is not very user friendly. The initial 12 month price was the lowest so I signed up at $.39 per therm. At renewal, they offered $0.34 per therm online, but informed me that was for only new customers. The lowest they could offer an existing customer with an excellent repayment history was $0.46 per therm so I moved to Infinite at $0.37 per therm. |

Incredibly bad customer service
I pay my bills on-line and always on-time. Due to a mix-up at their end, they thought I was delinquent, and mailed the disconnect notice to my home address. I was out-of-country, and my house/dog sitter did not open my mail. A e-mail would have reached me easily, but instead my service was shut off. I e-mailed proof of payments, and even sent an extra payment, so I had a credit balance. It still took two weeks to get reconnected. This was during winter, and my home had no heat and no hot water while someone tried to live there. Never again will I use Xoom! |

Non-disclosed costs!!!
Simply put you are responsible for the distributor fee to whomever provides the gas for Xoom energy. For my family this summer this constitues 300% of the price we pay to Xoom energy for gas + xoom energy service fee. Thats right, 3 times the amount we pay for gas and the xoom service fee combined! This amount was not disclosed within our contract nor on any of the energy provider comparison websites. Call to find out the local distribution fees prior to signing a contract because Xoom energy is not forthright about the amounts you will be charged. The lack of disclosure and transparency is simply bad business! |

Poor Customer Service
I had an issue accessing the online portal to pay my bill, I reset my password multiple times, receiving the message password was sent to you. Waiting for a few days for it, I never received it, and through trying a few different times over a period of days I incurred a late fee. Upon calling in, Xoom refused to refund my late fee on account of their online portal issue. I spoke with a customer service supervisor who said it didnt matter what was reasonable, they would not refund the credit even though Im a new customer and had diligently attempted to pay my bill. I even told the supervisor I would contact Clark Howards team to let them know to please warn people about this poor customer service as I would not want my family or friends to have this experience and the supervisor advised that did not concern them. Please take this into account Im letting others know of this poor service. |

They have fees for everything. 10$ late fee
They have fees for everything 10$ late fees. The bill is always high at least 70$ 20-30$ more than South. I only have hot water on gas and heat in the summer and in the summer months it's still 70$ they will charge you a 25$ fee if they disconnect. They are not willing to work with you at all it's a pretty bad company. They are in it strictly for the money with all the hidden fees and lack of assistance.

Weeks later they sent a disconnect notice, we called again provided copy of checks, they said thats not good enough, we need copy of bank statement...we blacked out info they did not need sent in, weeks later after many calls still not resolved, finally 2.5 months in we received a notice in the mail the account was finally credited, but demanding $30 in late fees!!!

Surprise $150 deposit, even with exceptional credit history
I wasted a lot of time signing up for service today, before I decided to cancel and hopefully never encounter this company again. I gave them info for a credit check. I have been at the same address for 24 years, and have a long term exceptional credit rating of 830-845, with no late payments EVER with anyone, including utilities. I was told that my credit had been reviewed and they needed a security deposit of $150. I asked for a manual review, because I thought surely this must be a mistake. I was still declined and they asked me to send proof of payment with my current provider for 3 months. I sent 6 months and quickly got an email that stated "after review", I needed to pay a security deposit of $150. Such a scam. No other gas provider in GA behaves this way with customers transfering in good standing from another gas provider. Steer clear. |

Couldn't even get past the terrible customer service to sign up
I tried to switch from my current provider to XOOM Energy to save some extra money on my gas bills. The sign up process was lengthy and required a $150 deposit. They said you could waive the deposit with proof of payment of last 3 utility bills. After sending my payment history (perfect) with my current provider, this proof was declined and I still had to pay the deposit. After calling to customer service, they could not explain what was wrong with my proof of payment history and said they could not do anything further. I have a near perfect credit score and pay all my bills. It may sound trivial but there is no reason they should have me put up a deposit. It just showed me what I was getting into with XOOM for the next 12 months... not worth the savings to deal with these people. I'm going back to my current provider and happy to pay more. |

Disconnection notice after they apparently applied my payment to the wrong account
I received a late notice about a week after my bill was due in January 2024. I checked my bank and it showed an EFT in the full amount of the bill cleared the bank and was paid to XOOm on the day it was due. I figured it was just a hiccup in their system and disregarded it. This week I received a disconnection notice, saying the bill had not been paid. I called customer service and was told I had not paid the bill even though I had a reference number from the bank showing the bill had been paid in full to XOOM. Customer service said billing could not find the reference number and they would do an investigation to determine whose account that nearly $200 went into but that I still owned them the full amount or risked having my gas turned off next week. These folks have some issues. |

Overpriced and yes, hidden fees.
They charge for the two months in advance. And then blame it on AGL who has nothing to do with the billing. I've never paid any bill for the current bill and the next as well. $80 in the middle of summer when only using my stove is not a deal, but a deal breaker. So, I will pay the penalty, because it is actually cheaper to do that and just move on. I should have never left Scana..... Now I'm back! DO NOT USE XOOM!!! |

I signed up for 3yrs at .56 in 2021. After one year the started raising rates all the way to 1.69. Customer service said too bad. There billing kept sending late notice even though we we Auto Pay. Took 3 mos to correct it. This company is inadequate at best. Make sure you get your plan in writing and signed.
I would suggest you use them as a last resort. GNG gave me 2yrs at .85 while xoom was charging 1.69. BEWARE....... |

Unwilling to price match their own rates. Unable to tell you valid information.
Had Xoom for a year, and they seemed... okay. Their interface for payment is kind of awful, but it mostly gets the job done, though occasionally, it doesn't process for 'some reason' and you have to go back in and try multiple times. Come the end of my term, they jumped my ONLY available rate up almost an entire dollar a therm, so I called to ask if they could price match their own current advertising. They wouldn't. I asked when I needed to cancel to let them know. "Please let us know by the 22nd of the month!" SO... I call on the 20th of the month and tell them I'm cancelling. "Oh... sorry... it's after the 19th of the month, so you'll be stuck with the month to month rate for another month because we can't cancel same month after the 19th." So this past month's bill was 4x my usual December bill, and it hasn't been an especially cold month yet. I would not go with Xoom again if they can't get their act together with valid information. Just know that they clearly are not set up to WANT your service for more than one contract. Ever. |

Horrible enrollment experience
Signed up online. When checking on credit for $150 deposit, failed because of credit freeze(didnt know until I signed up with power company). According to their waiver policy, I submitted my invoices from previous company, sent email about lifting credit freeze, etc.. all I got was an email saying my credit was good but decision for deposit was made and couldnt be changed. Called 3 times . Customer service reps were polite but no help. One girl even told me that their goal was to charge everyone with deposit so my understanding is as long as they find any thing missing at any time, they will do it. Cancelled enrollment and move to another company. Experience was day and night. |

This is not a company I would recommend. They do not care about their customers. After my year contract ended, they said I would still be able to use the rewards earned. However, they deactivated my account, and when I called to use them. They said they could not help. I asked to speak with a supervisor and they said that I couldn't.

Tried to switch to Xoom. Had to pay $150 even though credit is 830 and am over 65. Xoom used the deposit for account payment instead of deposit. Got an email stating I switched to Xoom. Two months later I had to call them and was not switched, said my application was now outdated. So now gas has skyrocketed and am stuck looking for another company. Xoom are liars and should not be trusted. Even with an acct number did not get switched. Made three phone calls with no help. No one in authority cares. |

So after having a meter put in I decided to go with Zoom Energy and I wish Id never spend the time and money on natural gas heater because I havent used any gas yet being summer and my bills averaging $35 $40 a month without using anything and then I paid them and they never claimed they never got the payment. Youre better off going with propane or electric and staying away from natural gas these companies that are D regulated theres no accountability and theres like 12 surcharges on every bill unbelievable Im sorry I ever invested in this. |

Incompetent billing
By far the worst and most incompetent utility provider I've ever dealt with. I had my first bill sent to me for 4 days worth of usage (in the summer) for 1 person and it was for $2500. Only hot water and the gas stove uses gas. Ive cooked once and took 4 showers in that time period. I spoken to multiple service reps and also had to contact their provider to get a tech out here to ensure there wasn't a gas leak which there wasn't. Their provider told me that there was an accounting issue which I let the reps know, yet whenever following up 2 different reps told me that they had a special reading done and the amount is correct! $2500 for 4 days of usage?!! How is that even rational. I told them they needed to conduct an audit. Then the next rep told me they see that they combined the reading with the last tenant and my bill should be updated in 3 days. I checked my account again and it still wasn't updated the following week so I called back and spoke to the next rep and the next the next rep said oh we did a special reading and the amount is correct. At that point I lost it and told her this is ridiculous I've spoken to so many reps and wasted so much of my time because of your companies incompetency and so finally she put me on a hold and said she sees the error and she'll be calling me back "after doing more research." This company is absolutely horrible. |

Terrible Customer Service
Everytime I call in, they make me answer a 100 questions about my account so I can verify my identity. Their employees are not competent. They will not fix any issues with billing for example removing a late charge when I paid it as soon as I noticed the issue. |

Stay away from this mess!
I started enrollment in December 2021. A Rep, Kora, called me to tell me they only needed the statements from previous provider which I submitted via the web site. Kora told me that in 3 days everything was going to be finalized. Received an e-mail to enroll in autopay. Thought everything was fine. Found out they never completed my enrollment when I received a $600 bill from old provider (my average bill is normally $150 during the winter). They did not take any responsibility for this even after the quality department admitted that someone dropped the ball and did not inform me they had cancelled my account as something went wrong on their end. They only continued pushing me to enroll. Stay away, they might show appealing rates but they outsource their processes which creates confusion. They are very inconsistent and their customer service is a joke. |

Ambushed With High Rates Without Notice
I was on Auto Bill. My contract expired. Didn't notice. Finally after 5 months I logged onto my account, just to find XOOM had more than doubled my therm rate. I called to see if they would backdate my charges to what I was originally paying. I was basically told tough luck and to suck it up. They had the right to change my rate WITHOUT notice. Of course I did not renew. |

The worst
The least transparent company Ive eve worked with. They charge you fees and claim they had no idea about it, but also claim lowest rates. When you call to ask about it the manager has no care and says they have no idea of the different rates the theirs parties cost. How do the managers not know what the third parties cost of the company they work for? |

The worse just like infinite
Theses gas companies are criminals they offer you low rate and once they get you in and you pay regularly they increase the thermal rates and accuse you of over usage when my usage has not change they said because it's cold but I have space heater that are electric. And we don't really use much heat got natured. |

Service never initiated and no follow up
I signed up for a 12 month plan in September. Received confirmation of my order along with notice could take up to 60days to turn over. Followed up and was informed AGL did not take action to turn on Xoom service. Customer service offered I re enroll now at a much higher rate. No assistance or attempt by Xoom to resolve. Cannot recommend this gas service provider---the obviously have systemic issues within CSR department in aquiring new customers. Do not select this company for your gas service!! |

Improper Disconnect While in Covid Quarantine
I'm a single father of two girls who always pays bills on time. Xoom emailed me a bill on December 3rd which went to my spam folder, so I was behind by $67.54. They disconnected me on December 30th with no notice. After they disconnected, I received two identical bills in the mail showing a past due balance of $67.54. I explained to Xoom that they disconnected with no notice, and during a time when my children and I were in isolation because they were exposed to Covid by another family member. Xoom asked me to prove the covid isolation and I emailed 6 documents from my pediatrician office and the DPH. Xoom said these were insufficient and even after speaking with the president of customer service, they refused to reverse their mistake. Beware--they have no regard for human safety or customer service. |

Could not answer basic questions
I tried to sign up with XOOM energy for natural gas in Georgia. I could not even get what should be simple questions answered from their customer service. I am glad I had questions during the signup. If I had to deal with their customer service after signing up I would have been sorry I switched. |

Dysfunctional, Incorrect Billing & No Customer service
Ive been incorrectly billed from day 1. Their paper bill does not match the online bill ever - thats what one of their employees said to me - Rudy Aguila. I sent them a check on the first paper bill which was for the full amount of the bill. 3 weeks later Xoom has still not processed my payment. I was told to stop payment on the check and pay the bill online which I did. Then the next day Xoom attempted to process the check I had placed a stop payment on, and they charged me $25. Xoom told me to issue the stop payment - and then they charged me! They told me they would issue a credit for $25 and they never did. Next month I pay my bill on their website. I pay the bill in full. Then I receive a bill showing another $25 fee carried over from prior month. I call customer no service, and I am told it will be corrected but its not. I filed complaints w the BBB and Georgia public service commission. Xoom has lied to the BBB Georgia public service commission and me. I have decided to switch carriers. Ive been in Georgia for 24 years and have never had a problem with any gas provider until Xoom came along. My recommendation is to steer clear of Xoom Energy! They have some kind of scam going on to try and boost their profits by deliberately not processing payments so they can charge late fees. |

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
They have decent prices, but when a billing issue arose, I had to call 6 times and speak with 6 different people - they never followed up or kept track of open items. They would not let me discuss the billing issue with the billing department. I had to go through customer service reps who did not understand the situation. Eventually, I just had to give up and pay the extra charges even though they were wrong. I decided it was best to pay them the charges and then just never use them again, than keep arguing with customer reps on the phone that did not understand the issue. Would never use them again, even if they had the lowest therm rate. |

They lost my check when they changed billing locations and charged me a late fee.
I have never had any problems with any of my checks getting lost with my online bill pay. Xoom changed locations and they said I never sent in my payment (but I did). Then they said I would have to pay a late fee even though they understood that I sent in the payment. I complained and they said I would have to have my bank call them to verify it and then they might remove the $10 charge. When my bank called them, Xoom said they couldn't take the call on a recorded line and so the bank just gave me the money for the late fee just to simplify things for me and them. The customer service rep and the customer service manager acknowledged that even if it wasn't my fault, they didn't have the money so the charge would stand. I thought that this was very pore customer service and a huge waste of time. |

Awful
Payments not processed for 6 days after receipt. Then charge a late fee. Customer no service says they are entitled to hold payments before processing. Cancelled after 2 months |
