Charge/Fee Reviews

“  After being on the phone several hours today with SCANA they agreed to waive the reconnection fees for a disconnection that never should have happened. They said they won't be able to reconnect my gas today and can only do that on Friday(48 hours after disconnection). Normally they give a 4-hour window for reconnection and someone 18+ has to be present for the technician to do the reconnection...tomorrow they could only give me an 8-hour window for reconnection (8am-4pm). I will have to miss a whole day of work waiting on the technician to turn my gas back on. SCANA says they will not credit me back for my day of missed work. All of this for a disconnection that never should have happened. The full payment they were requesting was delivered before the time they specified in the notice. Now all this is my problem apparently....buyer beware! ”

“  I purchased a new HVAC system and want to test the gas line flow to the HVAC and verify if my new system is able to light the gas unit and see of it safely heats. I want to remove the lock and unlock the gas valve for a brief test. I'm told there is a service charges in the amount of $60.00 to preform this task. I find that this is an absolutely unreasonable and an outrageous fee to pay for this service. I want to run the gas flow for 10 minutes and run a safety check. People purchase new HVAC systems every day and need to check their systems. This is yet another example of GNG nickel and diming charges that consistently drive customers crazy. Additionally, your telephone connections are third world and very bad connections. I can't even hear the representative because the sound quality is so poor hearing nothing but static and pixilated sound and after three bad calls I just gave up. This is also really annoying. Another example of cheap and inefficient service making contacting GNG not easy and reliable for customers. GNG should provide a brief unlocking service to customs as a free service once every two or three years. Removing the lock and turning on the gas flow for 10 minutes so as to verify the safely and function of my new HVAC system seams little to ask of a public utility. ”

“  Worst customer service, more fees than all others, scam!
I had to use 1 star otherwise it was an error, I tried to submit with no stars. ”

“  Switched plans with them, ended up with a $150 credit from left over balance from previous plan. Next billing cycle ended up with a $275 bill. Had monthly gas charges and tax added together. Also had $175 on a single line in bill labelled "bill adjustment". Spoke with customer service and was told it was owed for previous months service. Questioned how I have and credit on account balance month before and now it's turned to amount I owe now. Spoke to several rude supervisors, none cared, all explanations were different each one I spoke too. Smoke and mirrors and scam artists. ”

“  No one told me there was going to be 2 connections charges on my bill? That's ridiculous. ”

“  Gas south had a system error where the payment process never reached my bank and gs charged me twice for declined payments and late fees. My bank verified no such charges came thru. Yet gs charged me $70 of bogus fees. They are thieves and liars! ”

“  Today the kicker was when I had to renew my fixed gas contracts with Georgia Natural Gas ® for my home and business because the 12 month fixed contracts end 5/31/22 with Georgia Natural Gas ®. I called today because they sent me a notice ( several times at the start of April and every day this week) stating its time to RENEW for the next 12 months. Not only did the rate increase 25% more, but they are starting my new rate today not after 5/31/22 when the old contract ends. Then after i confirmed the contract and its changes, I was told the fee is effective immediatley AND there's an EARLY TERMINATION FEE of $100 per account for changing contracts. The first person told me if she wrote a note they MAY waive the fee. She also said she was going to send me emails for both confirming our conversation. I was also told at 1:00pm she was sending those emails to me. Of course 5 hours later, no email. I called back at 545 pm and I was told by yet a different agent, that it is the policy of Georgia Natural Gas ® to charge the termination fees and raise the rate on the day you renew the contract, and not on the day the old contract ends. I asked was I supposed to wait until the June 1 after it expired to renew? Why did you send me emails daily? Why did you not tell me this before I accepted a new contract and you dropped the 2 others?? Then i would have had to wait to change from the variable rate which is > 35% more than I already pay per therm. It takes hours to get them onthe phone and do this and i guess they expect us not to work and take our time off to do this!! NOPE they take $$ and DO NOT CARE!! And now I'm locked into 24 months more or Ill have to pay $200 per account to change it!! OMG!!!!!

“  My bill has been out of wack since I started service. I've really never paid much attention to my bill, but no matter how much I paid it never seem to come down.
during the pandemic I fell behind, due to UI benefits not being paid properly, three or 4 months of not getting paid then getting it all at once. I paid what I could but that wasn't good enough. after our UI benefits were cut off I had only my SSDI to live on, my rent cost 875 and bills for gas 150 electric 150 water 150 what was left was very little to buy food I made a payment of 150 on April 1st 2022 a week later my gas was shut off I couldn't understand why my gas was shut off I though I was paying my bill with enough to start bring down my past due I never realized I was paying two bills one to stream and the other two Atlanta Gas and Light seems steam gas is a complete rip off they purchase the gas thru Atlanta Gas and Light then not only charge you for the gas but also charges you for their bill to Atlanta Gas and Light but at no time was I made aware of this even when I had spoke I was never made aware that I was also paying Atlanta Gas and Light when talking to the rep from stream I question why if I'm being charged by Atlanta Gas and Light why am I being charge by Stream he said no your being bill by us and also by Atlanta Gas and Light for what if the gas is being provided by Atlanta Gas and Light what services are the providing that no one in their right mind would pay 148.60 now I am a single guy live on my own and try to keep things at a minimum what I'm being charged is out rages and dishonest it's a scam and costing the people hundred if not thousands of dollars of their hard earned money no more tell Georgia to get rid of these companies need proof I've the got it.

“  You are charging more for the monthly fee than described in your ad. You are charging me over $47/month just in pass through charges. This is outrageous. And gas south is also still charging me for service. ”

“  Trying to save some money now strapped with 3yrs with $80 in monthly fees. Beware ”
