Problems with Fees and Charges (70 reviews)
My first bill
“ I switched to Georgia Natural because of the promotion, even with your monthly service charge was $1.00 more. However, what I couldn't & still don't understand, why my charges for one day of service was $74.16. I still would like an answer. ”

Not sure switch was worth it.
“ The therm price is lower but additional fees add it right back up. ”

My First Contact
“ The first Constellation customer service person didn't know much about my first bill and could not explain details of the AGL charges. ”

Pay attention to fees
“ Watch out for hidden "customer service" fees. Our fees, not made obvious when signing up for a great per-therm rate, amounted to well over half of our natural gas costs from Infinite Energy. Very glad we made the switch - other gas providers happily cover the extortionate cancellation fee. ”

Watch your first bill
“ I was really happy that I switched over to SCANA Energy until I received my first bill. It was for 1 day and was $49.31. The meter reading on the bill was 0, so they ended up charging me all the monthly fees and taxes for that one day! I couldn't believe this!!!! ”

Avoid if possible
“ On my summer bill the additional charges are three times the gas charge. I complained about them to the PSC. Two days ago, they cut me off despite having a zero balance on my account. ”

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. ”

Terrible Customer Service
“
This company sent me a bill for early December when my service was not switched on until 12/12. I requested my account to be recalculated as I did not feel I should pay for charges before my service start date. Instead of resolving the issue, they decided to leave the charges claiming they created my account before the start date so I should pay even though I didn't have service.
Once my contract is over, I will definitely switch from this company. They have poor business practices and terrible customer service. They should not qualify as a billing company in GA with such poor customer service. E-mailing and phone call do not work with this company. They will argue with you when they know it's unfair to charge a customer for service before their start date. I paid the charges, but I will continue to fight this issue as I have wasted a lot of time and effort dealing with this issue. Very disappointing company to say the least.
Their rates were great, but you get what you pay for in service. Stay far away from this company. ”

“ Bad, high bill and fees ”

Bad customer service
“

I truly hope that all is well and I prefer to contact a company in praise of their excellent customer service than with this insulting situation. I was transferred to your company from Infinite Energy and I feel very betrayed by Gas South due to the fact that I have put my trust in your company and that I have been paying my bill on time. My bill was due on November 9, 2021 and I pay it by phone on November 2, 2021. After paying my bill with Gas South I got another text saying that they did not received the payment and I pay again on November 13, 2021 and I have confirmation numbers for both payments.
I contacted my Bank and no payment was posted by Gas South to them even though I had money in the bank account and I have my bank statement to prove it. I also made other payments by phone that same day and they were posted to my account. I realized that Gas South is playing games with me to charge late fees that are fabricated.
I am please requesting to address this situation with your company to resolve this in an amicable fashion.
Respectfully,
Niki E. Nightingale
