Customer service for an issue I had was professionally resolved
I went from being upset about an issue I had, to being being very pleased with the professionalism of this company. As long as they make every voice count (as they are doing) then they are a great company to do business with, in my book. Thanks Amigo energy and keep up the good work.

The WOW factor!
I really like my electricity provider. I've been with Amigo Energy for all most a year now and I think they have excellent customer service, prices are great, and a great perks program. If they had a commercial I would definitely be the one on there truly bragging about my experience and the wow factor they provided to me. Thanks Amigo!
Lots of choices
I was confused about all the choices offered for electric companies as I am from Maryland & there aren't many choices there for providers. I went with Amigo on the advice of an acquaintance & was very pleased that it was so easy to sign up for service. I called their customer service line & was happy with the help I got.
Lower bills
I have used Amigo several times over the past 5 years. My bill was always considerably lower with the bundled plan available with Amigo. I also signed my parents up and they are very happy with the drastic drop in their electric bill. the past two months. I would highly recommend Amigo to anyone wanting to lower their bill.
Quick activation
Talked on the phone with a wonderful lady that told me all the ins and outs of the plans and set me up with one perfect for me. I called at 11am and it was on before 2pm THE SAME DAY!! Wish I could thank her but I forgot her name
A Great Company
I had some bad experiences with some companies,But not Amigo.They works with you,and for as their customer service.They desrve a 100th.I have been satisfied.I'm glad I picked them as my electric provider.
Awesome company
What attracted me to amigo was the free nights. I never heard of the company until i was looking to switch and did a rate comparison and theirs was cheaper.
Been with amigo 3 years and looking for a lot more to come
Really good rates and service
Have never had any issues. Been with them for 3 years. Just wish when renewal time comes up that they would reward current customer with lowest rate instead of increasing rate and giving new customers the lowest rate.
Very impressed
I never write these but this company has been awesome and thought i take the time to give them a little praise. Really wish more companys like comcast would follow there customer service. Been with amigo a couple years. Twicevi have had issues with my power. Unfortunately the problem was me. Was working out of town, lost my card and received a call my power was off. Made a phone call expecting them to tell me had to wait to receive my card and they would cut back on. I really called just to get it scheduled asap after receiving itvin 2 days. The lady told me it was fine, told me to pay it when i received card and cut it on within a hour without any payment. All she said was next time call as soon as i can which i should have but had alot on my mind. Also i told her to payment in 48 hours. She told me she would add a extra 2 days in case i had a problem receiving. Amigo energy also send weekly usage with peak usage so you can control bill. Not many companys would have done that. I do recommend this company. Just wanted to thank you guys.
My fault they made it right.
We pay our bill the same day we receive it, but as will happen with electronic bill pay, we filled out the bill pay at our banks website but evidently didn't actually save the bill pay but closed the website before doing so. Figuring the bill was paid we didn't do anything else. We got a late pay notice with a charge of about $26 more than the bill, for late fee and cancellation notice fee. I called customer service and because we have been a 4 year customer with no late payments they quickly credited the charges back to my account. I felt this was more than fair.
Positive Review
I have been with Amigo Energy for over two years. They quoted me $ .089/Kw and it averaged $ .08966/ Kw.I am very pleased with all aspects which includes their billing process. I never needed their customer service department.
No Problems with Amigo
I had two to three accounts with Amigo for around three years and never experienced any problems with them. I recently switched but only to get a lower rate. I would go back to them in a minute if their rate wasn't higher.
Great Company
I have had no issues with Amigo Energy. We have used them for over 5 years now with no service interruptions and great fixed rates.
Above Average
Better than most
Awesome!!
I have had Amigo Energy for four years and my bills are so low. I have two AC units I keep my AC no higher then 75 when away and 70 when I am home. My bill has never been over $250.00. Love them!
Pleasantly Surprised
I must admit I was a bit apprehensive when I got Amigo Energy simply because I had never heard of them before. In my experience, all the others always hit you with surprise charges and provisos. To make it even worse, when you are not happy with them, they make sure you are going to pay a hefty price for your bad decision. This time I did my homework and decided to try Amigo out. I am very happy to say that I have never been happier. The rate options are great and customer service is an actual living, breathing human being! They have always been there to help me when I need them and the real shocker is they are always in a great mood. When I chat with my neighbors they are shocked at how low my monthly bills are. For the past 3 months my bills have never gone over $35 dollars. Yes! $35.00 bucks! I definitely recommend that you do your research on option plans, fees, rates, etc. Since they are constantly changing but Amigo Energy will always come on top as the best plan. Just be careful with the "others" small print. I have noticed that they have scrambled to make their fees look great but will not last more than 12 or 24 months and disconnection fees may give you a heart attack. So far, I have been with Amigo Energy for almost four years. I have had two contracts and I still got a great rate the second time around. Since day one, I have never had problems logging into my account online, with the auto-pay charges, technical or account issues. This is the first time that I am absolutely worry free about my electrical bills.
Amigo is the best!
We have been Amigo customers for several years now. We have the lowest rate of anyone we know and I tell EVERYONE! When we moved across town, our service was transferred without a hassle. We have been very pleased with every aspect of our Amigo Energy.
Amigo is Awesome
I like Amigo because their rates are low and they are very customer service oriented. They have always been very courteous and helpful on the phone.
Long time customer
I have been a customer for years and I enjoy their
great customer service.
Great Texas Company!!
I have been with Amigo for almost 6 years since I moved to Houston. I have seen them grow into a great company, and the customer service has always been stellar with really low rates as well. I highly recommend!
Excelent Customer Service and Rates
I have been for more than 4 years with this company and I can tell, that they have the best customer service ever, including the service for the spanish speakers.

No problems
Good overall. Only point of issue would be the billing. They charge $5 to pay online (though I didn't get that charge last time I paid) and the bills come in the mail sometimes shortly before the bill is due!
But (because a bill came late) I got a disconnect notice and the date was due. I called and they were friendly and extended my date so my payment could go through.
Pretty good experience
Re-upped with Amigo after an initial 6-month term. Without negotiating, I was offered another 6-month renewal rate lower than a new customer rate, and much lower than what is advertised as their returning customer renewal rates online. Renewal process took 5 minutes. Honestly, was very surprised, as I usually have had to ask for a new customer rate with my previous service providers upon renewal. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.Also, person spoke English!!!! Was not based in another country. Allowed me to opt out from marketing calls, as well.Lastly, like other customers, I was billed an Internet ACH fee of $5 in my last bill. Customer service gave me a solution to not paying it - just set up an auto-pay. It's auto-debited on the due date, so nothing lost.Will see how things go this next 6 months and keep my fingers crossed that rates don't move upward too much by June.
5 years and counting for residential and business
Never had any trouble and I have 3 accounts with them 2 residential and one business account for an townhome community. The rate offered to renew has always been the best I can find at the time I need to renew. The customer service has been great. English spoke here and the customer service location is in Houston TX. I do not understand the other negative comments I have read on the reviews. They also are offering referral rebates but are not based on dog and pony show marketing. I like this company!
Great company / no complaints
I had NO ISSUE whatsoever. they started on the day i requested, i had not 1 interruption at all.the first bill was kinda tricky and high due to some billing issues and fine prints...i cant blame AMIGO ENERGY for it because its the freaking government that lets them do these "gotchas"....its just incredible that none of this is regulated. but over all, I was happy with them, my 12 months was up and i had to drop them due to an increase in rate.
Nice Company
I found an affordable, 6-month rate with Amigo. I ordered the service a bit late--just a couple of days before move-in, but they were really understanding and had everything up and running in time for my move. I found the renewal plan too expensive, so I canceled without any trouble. Customer service was always nice.
Great company for 6 years
I've had Amigo since 2006 and they have been fine - even gave me the $25 referral credit after I contacted them though they said I didn't put in the right code. Only bummer thing is the $2/mo fee for using a credit card. But changing now because rates are too high... I'd definitely recommend.
Service
Just had a little mishap when switching services but other than that, no probs.
Love this company best rate i could find
Always very friendly customer service and the best rate i could find. I have been with them three years and counting and do not plan to change anytime soon. thanks amigo
The best Electricity Power Provider
Customer service = 100%..I cannot say enough about
Amigo..I just love this provider. Customer service
says it all about a provider..no matter how little
it is.
Amigo is Honest
I left a big company out of disgust a few years back when they pulled some strange stuff. It was even in the media that they were suspected of jacking up prices one very hot summer, taking advantage of folks. Amigo has never done anything but offer fair prices, good service and easy auto pay. I do appreciate that and have two accounts, have been with them for several years. Any strange stuff and I'm gone. But so far no worries about that. The reason I gave 3 on order - I did one account online and it said my electricity would be turned on a particular day - didn't happen, it was hot weather and I was mad. However, the weekend messed up things with Oncor - the Big Boss, so I got over it. Customer service was a 4 because sometimes the wait is long, however the folks are courteous and prompt in their service once you get through. Honestly you rarely need to call them, so no huge deal in the end.
Couldn't be happier.
I love Amigo Energy. I've already convinced some of my friends to switch their service to them. I was even able to convince a door to door salesman for another electric company that Amigo was better than the company he was trying to switch me to.
Excellent service
Have used Amigo for 2 years. Pay electronically. Absolutely no problems with bills or service.
Good job
Good service - great price
No problem
I've been with this company for over 2 years, and I have no problems with this company. The only time I had to call customer service is when I need to renew my contract. It was very straightforward and the process was quick. I would definitely recommend this company.
Excellent energy provider
Reliable company
Satisfied
Sorry for all those bad reviews I just read, but honestly I've had better service with Amigo than I ever had with HL&P and Stream energy. Amigo promised me a non variable low rate,locked in contract and I've been with them 3 years now. Once contract is up I lock it again at same or lower rate. As for Customer service, I've had no problem with them yet.
No monkey business, just low rates
I've used them for over a year on the variable plan. I have not had drastic rate changes (month to month), and I am considering locking in my current or even a lower rate with them for a 6 month contract.
Best Rate Around
I just renewed my contact with Amigo energy for another 12 months using auto draft and was giving a rate of 9.4 kwh. I have been very happy with their service this past year and new lowered rates. Amigo energy keep up the good work at helping Texas families save money in these hard economic times.
Got electricity just fine
Nothing special to say. I got electricity they got paid. Price was below average for the term at the time. I think I will go with a one year or less for the term rather than a two. May or may not stay with these guys.
Love them
Never had any problems with them and they're prices on green energy are very competitive

Added late fee and sent final bill to collections
At the end of our arranged fixed pricing term, we moved to another provider. Amigo Energy sent us a final bill which indicated they would bill our auto-pay credit card. Instead, however, they did not charge the card, added a late fee, and sent the bill to a collections agency. They did not email or contact us until the bill was transferred. Credit was hit. Will never go to Amigo Energy again.

Renewal quotes too high
There's alot I like about Amigo. Their initial rate through Texas Electricity Ratings was really good. They send weekly usage reports so I know how much I'm spending each week and estimated monthly bill so I can adjust usage. I never had a billing issue. Cons - It took a long time for them to set up the transfer. I made several calls in the first weeks because I never heard from them and I was afraid I wouldn't have power. Their renewal quote was 5 cents per kw hour higher than what my contract was, much higher than any company on this site. I hate to move companies again, but it's too high to continue. Recommendation if you have a good quote with them would be to lock it in for several years.
Hi JR, thank you so much for this great review. We appreciate your feedback and being a loyal customer of Amigo Energy!

Harvey storm
I live in Houston and like many trying to put my life back together after the storm. I was out of work for due to the weather for a week in a half so of course no work no pay. I ask for some time they give me until today but I called today to see if I could get until next Friday the men said sure but if you don't pay we will cut your light off. This is what got me why are why sending out emails to customers saying that y'all understand if we need time or help because many of us was affected by the storm to call. What help are y'all giving to your customers at this time? That's not helpful now I'm worried about what if I didn't make enough money to pay on everything and if my lights are going to be turned off.
Overall pleased but will be switching
My review is very similar to the last one. I have zero complaints from Amigo other than being caught off guard for a $2.00 monthly credit card autopay fee.Their prices for new customers are very competitive, but thats where the good prices end. When it comes time to renew, their renewal offers are easily 1.5 to 2 c per kwh higher than average. If they had been able to provide the rate they provide to new customers (still seen on powertochoose.org) I would have stuck with them.Alas I am not, I love switching from REP to REP every 6 months to get the lowest rate I am comfortable with.
Not bad
I picked their company based on price alone. It was a great deal. I had no problems with getting my bill by email every month, and I liked that they sent it .pdf, so I didn't have to log in to look at the bill. (They do only give it to you about 2 weeks before it is due though). Unfortunately, when it came time to renew, their prices were a lot higher than most of the other companies. They sent me several emails with 'deals' to renew, but every one of them was higher than the average of the other companies on powertochoose.org. I also appreciated that they reminded me of when my contract was going to expire, so I wasn't surprised when the rates went up. But at the end of the day, they didn't want to keep their customers long term, so I switched to save a few bucks. I would recommend them---if their rates are good on the day you are looking.
Great Choice
I totally recommend Amigo Energy ever since I switch with them my bill was a lot cheaper.
3 year customer
Customer service is not great but the price is most of the time one of the best.
Great Retailer!
Competitive pricing + accurate and timely billing
+ good customer service = no problems! Highly
recommended.
Actually Do What They Say They Will Do
Signed with them almost a year ago and have not had one issue with their service
Mine
Did ok they lost one payment for a week or two
Good price, medicore service
Prices were good, service reps. seem very uninterested in service.

Without power, no care
I am in my house without power its 40 F in my house. Amigo promised my power would be on today. They said if they needed any additional information they would contact me. I called this morning and the lady on the phone said they needed two items from me and I informed her that they never called. She apologized and said it would take 24-48 hours to get power on in my house. I told her that I had opted for priority for an extra fee on my bill so I could have power today. She said if they cant get it on today then I wouldnt have to pay for the priority yet I wouldnt have power. I emailed the documents and called back a few hours later to make sure they were received. The lady on this call promised Id have power in a few hours. Its been 3 hours and when I called back theyre office was closed. They dont open again until Monday and I have work on Monday and need power. Let me stress again that my house is cold and my food is going to go bad. I am so beyond upset.

Highway Robbery
I was stuck in a contract for 2 years and one time I paid my bill 1 day late they charged me $25. Not to mention their rates are ridiculously high I was paying 13.9 cents per kilowatt!! Look at other companies do your research it will be worth it $$$ Do NOT sign with Amigo they do not accept their customers!!!
Gotcha!!!
Leased a home, had Amigo for the 4.5 years we lived there. Landlord called TXU to transfer service for the first day after my lease ended. And since TXU contacted them before I did, they will not remove the $175 early term fee. I have provided proof that I was moving, and the new address isnt in an area that you can choose your own provider, which they admit is an acceptable reason to cancel and not be charged. Theyre not budging and CS Reps are not helpful - not real sure Im being transferred to a supervisor when I ask for one. So, use caution if/when you move.

Trying to intimidate their estblished customers
Amigo did not want to honor the program and suggested it didn't exist. I claimed it was a new home hook up and they did finally accepted the fact it did exist. they even sent me emails saying " we are sorry you are leaving amigo energy". what a bunch of uninformed ( employees? )
$29 Late Fee's!
I have been a long time customer of Amigo Energy however in recent months I noticed my bill getting higher. Normally we just pay our bill but with my recent lay off we have had to pay closer attention to bills. Of course, because of the layoff, we have had to shuffle manage bills in a way that didn't always allow paying on time, thus the late fees. This is when I noticed the $29 late fees. Now don't get me wrong I understand a charge for paying late however what I am struggling with is a mindblowing $29 late fee! I can understand a $5 or even $10 late fee but $29!?!?! I just think this is nickel & diming people to death! So now I am looking for another carrier. Oh, by the way, be on the lookout for the $10-month fee that they never make mention of when they are pitching their low rate sale because it means your not paying that $0.07 per kWh, you paying more once you factor in this fee.
Stay away
I missed one payment and my service was disconnected within 2 weeks. Never received a disconnection noticed. Really? I know I missed a payment but it slip my mind. You could at least wait for next service month. I was with Reliant for 10 years, never had a problem with them. I am switching companies, even if I have to pay an early termination fee.
Bad Billing and Customer Service
Amigo had great service for start-up and a good price. Things went downhill from there. I was called about having them install a "smart thermostat" and it was explained that even though there was a $25/month charge it was guaranteed that I would save money. I saved no money the 1st three months (during the summer when there is the most opportunity for savings) I had them remove the stat within the 90 day "grace period", The $75 that I paid was never refunded. Now when I cancelled my service I was billed $295 for the thermostat that they took out. This was taken from my account by automatic draft. After an extended time on the phone and talking to several people, they said they would refund my money within 10 days. I called them after 16 days to find out where my money was and they said it was coming by check and would take 3 to 4 weeks.
No bill received / late fee an termination notice recv'd 4 days later
I did not receive a bill in Dec 2013. I did not notice, possibly missed due to heavy email volume that I receive every day, or spam file delivery. Not really sure why. Due date was 12/23. On Dec 27 a disconnect notice and $22+tax "Disconnect Notice Fee" was sent to me and received on 12/28. This works out to a 20% fee on a $100 balance. I immediately paid the bill online. This is my fault for not noticing that I had not been billed, but a disconnect notice and $22+tax fee after 4 days with not even a "did you forgot to pay your bill email or letter"? Nope. Not going to stand for this. I've had electricity service for 40 years, and I've been with numerous companies over the last 10 years since power to choose. CAN'T WAIT FOR MY CONTRACT TO EXPIRE, then moving on to another provider. Note: on hold with customer service for 15 minutes, but they DID remove the late fee, so that brings down my anger level a little.
WAS a good company
Unfortunately, this company has been sold twice since I first signed up and is now owned by one of the biggest electricity providers. Gone is the great customer service provided by employees who cared. Gone also is any effort to retain loyal, longtime customers. In return you get treated just like you do with a huge company. Their policy seems to be to stick you with a much higher renewal rate if you are stupid enough to hang around. It's sad that any company operates this way. I'll be going elsewhere.
Billing mistakes
They charge outrageous fees. Even when their Auto Payment system fails to work, you end up paying late and disconnect fee of over $25 for a $50 bill. If you didn't have your Auto Payment setup, you have to pay $5 to $10 fee towards "Payment", even if it check, or credit or debit card.
Stay way from Amigo Energy *** Bad customer service.
1. They charged $5 fee if you pay with credit card online
2. They made a mistake on the first bill. Called customer service, they would not refund.
However, i tried emailing. They responded fast and issued refund.
Good Service
I strongly recommend Amigo to all of my friends.
Contract Commitment
Amigo is weak on following their contract and are quick to send you a disconnect notice even thou they did not follow their own contract for electrical service.

Worst
Just now NEW My bill used to be around 100-200 now Im hardly home, cut only up for 2 to 3 hours a day at 2 bedroom apartment paying$400 to $600+, I have asked them twice to check meter and they set it up then dont come saying they dont see it a problem with billing. Because they dont see an issue to have to send someone they will charge me to send someone to check it. Im a single mother it hard enough with all my other bills and then power bill going up every month when I do what I can to cut down the bill when only to find them charms more but then u charging me 75 or 100 to come out to check it. This is crazy I wouldnt recommend this company. We use outside light in weekends and dont watch tv but at park most weekends, only home awake 2/3 hours. They are making it harder every month to be able to pay for groceries, gas and other expenses with these outrageous bills

Do Yourself A Favor - Don't Choose Amigo Energy
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST - Do yourself a HUGE favor - stay as far away from this company as possible. I originally signed up for a one year contract. Nine months in I get a courtesy call telling me they have a better rate. I said I would switch ONLY is this did not extend my contract which expired on 02/23/2023. The man on the line said it would NOT and that I could change at anytime. I repeated this multiple times and I also stated I do not ever lock myself into a plan longer than 12 months and I wanted the opportunity to explore current rates when my contract expired on 02/23/2023. After thinking about this for two days I called them back and asked them to switch me back to my original plan and I found out they put me on a FIVE YEAR plan! The lady assured me it was switched back. If it was switched back after two days then why would I get charged a much higher rate for the entire next bill if this was such a great plan and was supposed to save me money? I have no problem for being charged for two days at that rate but you aren't about to charge me the whole month when it should've been changed the moment I called back. I also lost a $75 credit each month if I used 1,000 or more kWh. After really studying my bills I discovered this was never changed back, I was put into a five year contract set to expire 11/28/2027, I was still being charged for this new plan at a higher rate that was supposed to save me money and I lost the $75 usage credit. I called to dispute and was told they would have to listen to the recorded call from that evening. I said by all means because I know what I asked multiple times and I also know what I was told. After escalating this three people later I was told they would contact me back in about a week. Well, one day shy of TWO weeks still nothing. After switching providers when my original contract was set to expire my final bill seemed extremely high. After reviewing it I was charged a $175 early termination fee!!! Mind you I have a renewal offer mailed from Amigo Energy dated 01/15/23 stating my contract is set to expire on 02/23/23 - so WHY would I be charged an early termination fee??? My new service started the following day! Mad as h*ll at this point that I was still waiting for answers from two weeks ago now I have to dispute this too. So here I wait for them to reverse this early termination fee along with recalculating the bills which were wrong. Never, ever will I do business with Amigo Energy ever again. Just don't do it - you will thank me later!

Terrible Service
Ive had terrible terrible service!! Neverrrrr again will I use these people for electricity. Ive been very understanding but customer service people are very very rude will hang up in your face. Ive been waiting over a week for my service to be turned on, mind you I have a 3 year old daughter and was also sure to let them know that as well as pets. Every time I call each person tells me something different. They keep telling me I will get my service the same day I call and I call at least 5 times a day and still have yet to get my service turned on, they give you a 3 day period to get your refund back and any day after will not be refundable. This is ridiculous. Im very very upset and unsatisfied with my service here.

Harassment/Denied Service
I called to start the enrollment process and apply for the domestic violence waiver. The first agent told me I need a certificate that I told have and she cant continue. She assumed I was lying about being a victim. I ask for a supervisor and he helped me. He told me what I can do and he transferred me over the worst agent EVER!! He kept wanting to argue with me and kept repeating the same thing and didnt want to me. After a while I ask for a supervisor and he refused and kept trying to argue. I had to get loud and say bad words than he gave in and transfer me to the billing.
Its a SHAME a com just hired people who cant even do they job. Make sure they pass the training because they get put on the floor.
NEVER AGAIN !!!!

Literally the worst BILLING provider in electrical service
This company is the absolute worst with billing. roughly 30% of the time, the website shows that my payment went through ( I have multiple meters), only to find out 3-5 days later the payment didn't go through. They start calling a day before your bill is due in regard to a "late Payment". the payment date changes month to month. For some reason, even though I connected two meters at the same location on the same day, the bills are due 5 days apart now. the online chat is impossible to work with, only offering an auto response with a fake name. Seriously, I do not understand how Amigo stays in business. I'd rather buy electricity from North Korea.

Termination fee
I got amigo energy to clean a rent house and was assured they would NOT charge me a cancelation fee when I signed up, because I explained I only needed it for a month or two. Well now they are trying to collect it! Three different people lied to me that represent Amigo energy. Not very good customer service and especially not appropriate.

Sorry, Amigo - we just ain't buying these fake 5-star reviews
By far the WORST provider I've dealt with since de-regulation in Texas (and there have been some REALLY bad ones).Calls to Customer service? Useless. Emails to Customer service? Ignored.Bills based on the agreed EFL? A pipe dream at best. Expedience in issuing 'cut-off' notices, or in sending endless, pre-recorded threatening phone-messages? Leader of the pack.DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!!!!Avoid this train-wreck at ALL costs. They have NO idea what they're doing.

Unsatisfied customer
They have over charged me for the 2 years I used amigo energy/ just energy! I tried to transfer services and was charged a $175 for early termination. On top of that my service was suppose to be turned off at my old address on the 3rd and wasnt turned off until the 21st . Yet Im still expected to pay that bill with only them credited me 40. I would not recommend this company at all!

If you want to be robbed for your money and disrespected for questioning the issue.. Sign up with Amigo. They will take your payment and swear you didn't pay them every month. Don't ask for a payment plan.. They will really rob you if you don't provide evidence. They chased me down at a grocery store to sign up. Smh.. I see why.. I regret stopping. Worse service ever

10 plus years and multiple properties. clowns.
Incase anyone is looking at electric providers in Texas, stay away from Amigo Energy. Ive been with them at every address Ive ever had as an adult (10+years) because they are cheap. Theyve always been a beating to deal with but for the savings I would deal with it on all of my properties in the past. As of today, they are no longer worth dealing with. If you dont like paying fees (hundreds of dollars) and arent cool with someone threatening your credit while they hide behind a contract, I urge you to use anyone else and save yourself the headache. The penny/kWh saving is not worth dealing with these clowns.

Not truly fixed rates
I just got my first bill and there is a $50 charge for a pass-through fee. When I spoke with customer service agent to order service I asked several times if the fixed rate meant only the kws consumed X cost per kw. He repeated and assured that it would be so. I have been on the phone several times waiting to speak with billing dept to no avail.
Hi Mrs. Rodriguez than you for accepting my phone call today to discuss the TDU charges on your bill.

Total Disappointment
Had a 3 months plan with Amigo at an average rate of 8 cents per kWhr. Once I was out of contract, the rate went up to 19 cents per kWhr!! I did call their customer service and told them that it is acceptable that a rate increase is expected once I am out of contract, but, not double the rate!!! The gentlemen, although courteous, did not even offer any kind of a break and simply said it is what it is and this is the market price. So, I did tell him that I will write a bad review and this is it! They lost a customer for few dollars - Not the right kind of company that apprecuiates its customers.

RIP OFF
When I change to free nights, I new my daytime charges would increase, but really over 65 % was at night. I should save 25 to 30 percent on my bill with the increase amount. Of course they did the unthinkable. They graph my usage way up when I change to no heat days, no laundry days. no light downstairs days. up the heat at 9PM off at 7AM breakfast at 6AM laundry only between 9PM-7AM my bill went up $260 and I would told my bill would decrease from $167 .

This company is a ripoff
Im not angry because Ive been with the company for four years, I would expect better customer service at this point but they only want your money and nothing less. I paid my bill the next morning after it was due and they charged a $25 late fee. Thats ridiculous considering the pandemic that we are still in right now! They should offer a grace period of a week, at least! I cannot wait until my contract is up so I can move on to better companies! Also, dont ever give up when trying to get out of paying their ridiculous fees. Spend as much time as you need researching their company and policies before you just hand over extra money. They are inexperienced to say the least and they argue like children. Fight for your money!!!

Amigo Engery is horrible
I have with them for years and in the beginning they were awesome, but I had nothing but problems since then. Most times their app does not accept payments, when you call you are put through the wringer and nobody is ever available. The website is not much better. Had to research to find a way to pay my bill more then once because their system was down and on top of that they will charge a horrendous late charge, even when you can proof that you tried to pay for several days.
Their customer service is bad.
Used to recommend, but not since the last year - stay far away from them.
Amigo is not your friend!
Amigo Energy is a terrible company to do business with. We were charged $175 for an early termination fee and we are moving to an area they do not service (could not transfer service). Additionally, the switch was initiated by the prospective tenant of the individual we sold our house to. While we were still transitioning from one house to another, they made the switch and Amigo charged me $175. They won't waive the fee because I "did not inform them." That is my point! I didn't inform them! They allowed the switch and charged me $175. Stay away from Amigo...they aren't your friend!
Amigo goes from good to bad
Amigo has change their prices along with their customers skills. This company went up on the cost and is very hard to talk to them . I got charge over 18 cents a kw and they drew money out of my bank without my permission ( they kept my bank account on file from previous payments). Anyone who decides to go with amigo be aware. I talked to four representative and they all seem to be hard to understand.
Letter to terminate
After being 3 days late on bill due to the coronavirus Amigo Energy sends a letter to cut your electricity off. They don't care.
Amigo Energy
Very disappointed with the plan and costumer service. I started out with a 12 month plan. The rate was very good, but when it was time to renew, I was told that the rate had change but it would not go up very much. My bill had almost doubled and my unit had not been on since the summer. When I call costumer service they will let the phone ring for hours while you listen to a recording. EXTREMELY DIASPPOINTED.

12 Year Customer and NO Loyalty
1/2020 - I received a bill for $461.73 for 1 month. They charged me 18.999/kwh! Come to find out, I was being charged that for the past 6mths. Obviously, the 2+ year contract ended, however, I don't look at my bills; just go online and pay them. So, I called today 1/27/20 to see what can be done about this bill and they stated "Nothing can be done about this bill but we can put you back on a plan to reduce the rate." The rep escalated the call to a "retention specialist" who then told me the same thing. In 12 years with them, I never had my electricity turned-off, however, they mentioned the couple of times I was late (guess I'm the only one). Nonetheless, I paid them their last monies they'll get from me after gouging me for 6mths. A company losses a $21,600 revenue stream (avg 150/mth*12yrs) over a 461.73 bill. Nice Job!**Let me guess - I'm sorry to hear about your recent experience as we value each and every one of our customers. We appreciate the 12 years you chose us as your provider. I would like to get your account information so I can look into your unique situation. blah blah blah**

Amigo promises but cannot seem to get anything right.
1. To start I explicitly asked to be left off the promotions lists ... not hammered with emails, texts and phone calls almost immediately after placing my order.
2. Calling back to get taken off the list I asked to not be a part of, I realized that the customer service number they advertise 888-469-2644 is answered bu what sounds like an old-school fax machine.
3. Of course the bill was sent right on time, but they failed to link my account to the login to their website so I could pay my bill online.
4. During the time that they are trying to figure out how I can pay my bill they want to charge be a "past due fee". ... Not to mention the that they could not get the separation of billing address and service address right!
5. After less than 60 days of service I called and cancelled (calling to cancel was a condition of the contract or get charged a fee).
6. After calling to cancel they tried charge me a fee anyway - despite living up to the language of my contract: "as per the terms of your Agreement, you will be required to pay exit fees, unless you contact us directly." Still wasting my time fighting that!
Thankful to be rid of such a sh*tty provider anyway.

I worked for Amigo Energy and it's the worst company I have ever worked as a customer service representative. They dont pay us for the sales and lie to us about how there gonna look into it. It's a lie there not they push us to make sales but at the end we dont get paid. They lie about the plans they offer. So be very careful before you sign up with this company. There plans are not what they seem they are.
Hi Clarissa, many thanks for your great review! We are so pleased that we were able to meet your expectations. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. ¡We hope you have a lovely day!
Thanks,

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!
I have been a loyal customer for over 10 yrs with them. They have had really good customer service up until this year. On renewal they gave me 14 cents when market highest was 11 cents. I was out of town so I had to commit so lose service. Then they asked if I wanted to pay an extra 10$ for renewable electricity, which I told them that was the company's problem to fix their portfolio, not the customers. So for 3 months they had been telling me that I could set arrangements for 3 payments, but each and every time they never honored the third and had to scramble to meet higher payment. Mind you my bills are close to $500 due to the ridiculous rate they are charging. So this month called to make arrangements, they informed me new policies took place on July 17th where company won't make any more payment arrangements more than 3 times in a year period. To kick it further this is not just going forward, but goes retro. As a customer, I have not received anything in mail advising of all these policy changes they are making.
My suggestion.....run away as fast as you can from this company. They have changed and service to customers is no longer important.
Hi Cass, may we please have your phone number and the best time to reach you?

I have been trying to get my services back on since Tuesday with the business department. My lights are off and the department is closed until Monday. Even though Amigo Energy can see where the bill has been paid. This is no way to do business.

Worst
Just now NEW My bill used to be around 100-200 now Im hardly home, cut only up for 2 to 3 hours a day at 2 bedroom apartment paying$400 to $600+, I have asked them twice to check meter and they set it up then dont come saying they dont see it a problem with billing. Because they dont see an issue to have to send someone they will charge me to send someone to check it. Im a single mother it hard enough with all my other bills and then power bill going up every month when I do what I can to cut down the bill when only to find them charms more but then u charging me 75 or 100 to come out to check it. This is crazy I wouldnt recommend this company. We use outside light in weekends and dont watch tv but at park most weekends, only home awake 2/3 hours. They are making it harder every month to be able to pay for groceries, gas and other expenses with these outrageous bills

Do Yourself A Favor - Don't Choose Amigo Energy
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST - Do yourself a HUGE favor - stay as far away from this company as possible. I originally signed up for a one year contract. Nine months in I get a courtesy call telling me they have a better rate. I said I would switch ONLY is this did not extend my contract which expired on 02/23/2023. The man on the line said it would NOT and that I could change at anytime. I repeated this multiple times and I also stated I do not ever lock myself into a plan longer than 12 months and I wanted the opportunity to explore current rates when my contract expired on 02/23/2023. After thinking about this for two days I called them back and asked them to switch me back to my original plan and I found out they put me on a FIVE YEAR plan! The lady assured me it was switched back. If it was switched back after two days then why would I get charged a much higher rate for the entire next bill if this was such a great plan and was supposed to save me money? I have no problem for being charged for two days at that rate but you aren't about to charge me the whole month when it should've been changed the moment I called back. I also lost a $75 credit each month if I used 1,000 or more kWh. After really studying my bills I discovered this was never changed back, I was put into a five year contract set to expire 11/28/2027, I was still being charged for this new plan at a higher rate that was supposed to save me money and I lost the $75 usage credit. I called to dispute and was told they would have to listen to the recorded call from that evening. I said by all means because I know what I asked multiple times and I also know what I was told. After escalating this three people later I was told they would contact me back in about a week. Well, one day shy of TWO weeks still nothing. After switching providers when my original contract was set to expire my final bill seemed extremely high. After reviewing it I was charged a $175 early termination fee!!! Mind you I have a renewal offer mailed from Amigo Energy dated 01/15/23 stating my contract is set to expire on 02/23/23 - so WHY would I be charged an early termination fee??? My new service started the following day! Mad as h*ll at this point that I was still waiting for answers from two weeks ago now I have to dispute this too. So here I wait for them to reverse this early termination fee along with recalculating the bills which were wrong. Never, ever will I do business with Amigo Energy ever again. Just don't do it - you will thank me later!

Terrible Service
Ive had terrible terrible service!! Neverrrrr again will I use these people for electricity. Ive been very understanding but customer service people are very very rude will hang up in your face. Ive been waiting over a week for my service to be turned on, mind you I have a 3 year old daughter and was also sure to let them know that as well as pets. Every time I call each person tells me something different. They keep telling me I will get my service the same day I call and I call at least 5 times a day and still have yet to get my service turned on, they give you a 3 day period to get your refund back and any day after will not be refundable. This is ridiculous. Im very very upset and unsatisfied with my service here.

I vacate an apartment on 6/24/2022, whihc was only 7 day of thew billing cycle. This Bad Amigo waned to get pay the entire 30 days cycle. Because I refused, then started charging late fees and another month. Made your onw opinion.

Harassment/Denied Service
I called to start the enrollment process and apply for the domestic violence waiver. The first agent told me I need a certificate that I told have and she cant continue. She assumed I was lying about being a victim. I ask for a supervisor and he helped me. He told me what I can do and he transferred me over the worst agent EVER!! He kept wanting to argue with me and kept repeating the same thing and didnt want to me. After a while I ask for a supervisor and he refused and kept trying to argue. I had to get loud and say bad words than he gave in and transfer me to the billing.
Its a SHAME a com just hired people who cant even do they job. Make sure they pass the training because they get put on the floor.
NEVER AGAIN !!!!

Literally the worst BILLING provider in electrical service
This company is the absolute worst with billing. roughly 30% of the time, the website shows that my payment went through ( I have multiple meters), only to find out 3-5 days later the payment didn't go through. They start calling a day before your bill is due in regard to a "late Payment". the payment date changes month to month. For some reason, even though I connected two meters at the same location on the same day, the bills are due 5 days apart now. the online chat is impossible to work with, only offering an auto response with a fake name. Seriously, I do not understand how Amigo stays in business. I'd rather buy electricity from North Korea.

Added late fee and sent final bill to collections
At the end of our arranged fixed pricing term, we moved to another provider. Amigo Energy sent us a final bill which indicated they would bill our auto-pay credit card. Instead, however, they did not charge the card, added a late fee, and sent the bill to a collections agency. They did not email or contact us until the bill was transferred. Credit was hit. Will never go to Amigo Energy again.

Termination fee
I got amigo energy to clean a rent house and was assured they would NOT charge me a cancelation fee when I signed up, because I explained I only needed it for a month or two. Well now they are trying to collect it! Three different people lied to me that represent Amigo energy. Not very good customer service and especially not appropriate.

Sorry, Amigo - we just ain't buying these fake 5-star reviews
By far the WORST provider I've dealt with since de-regulation in Texas (and there have been some REALLY bad ones).Calls to Customer service? Useless. Emails to Customer service? Ignored.Bills based on the agreed EFL? A pipe dream at best. Expedience in issuing 'cut-off' notices, or in sending endless, pre-recorded threatening phone-messages? Leader of the pack.DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!!!!Avoid this train-wreck at ALL costs. They have NO idea what they're doing.

Unsatisfied customer
They have over charged me for the 2 years I used amigo energy/ just energy! I tried to transfer services and was charged a $175 for early termination. On top of that my service was suppose to be turned off at my old address on the 3rd and wasnt turned off until the 21st . Yet Im still expected to pay that bill with only them credited me 40. I would not recommend this company at all!

If you want to be robbed for your money and disrespected for questioning the issue.. Sign up with Amigo. They will take your payment and swear you didn't pay them every month. Don't ask for a payment plan.. They will really rob you if you don't provide evidence. They chased me down at a grocery store to sign up. Smh.. I see why.. I regret stopping. Worse service ever

Without power, no care
I am in my house without power its 40 F in my house. Amigo promised my power would be on today. They said if they needed any additional information they would contact me. I called this morning and the lady on the phone said they needed two items from me and I informed her that they never called. She apologized and said it would take 24-48 hours to get power on in my house. I told her that I had opted for priority for an extra fee on my bill so I could have power today. She said if they cant get it on today then I wouldnt have to pay for the priority yet I wouldnt have power. I emailed the documents and called back a few hours later to make sure they were received. The lady on this call promised Id have power in a few hours. Its been 3 hours and when I called back theyre office was closed. They dont open again until Monday and I have work on Monday and need power. Let me stress again that my house is cold and my food is going to go bad. I am so beyond upset.

10 plus years and multiple properties. clowns.
Incase anyone is looking at electric providers in Texas, stay away from Amigo Energy. Ive been with them at every address Ive ever had as an adult (10+years) because they are cheap. Theyve always been a beating to deal with but for the savings I would deal with it on all of my properties in the past. As of today, they are no longer worth dealing with. If you dont like paying fees (hundreds of dollars) and arent cool with someone threatening your credit while they hide behind a contract, I urge you to use anyone else and save yourself the headache. The penny/kWh saving is not worth dealing with these clowns.

Not truly fixed rates
I just got my first bill and there is a $50 charge for a pass-through fee. When I spoke with customer service agent to order service I asked several times if the fixed rate meant only the kws consumed X cost per kw. He repeated and assured that it would be so. I have been on the phone several times waiting to speak with billing dept to no avail.

Total Disappointment
Had a 3 months plan with Amigo at an average rate of 8 cents per kWhr. Once I was out of contract, the rate went up to 19 cents per kWhr!! I did call their customer service and told them that it is acceptable that a rate increase is expected once I am out of contract, but, not double the rate!!! The gentlemen, although courteous, did not even offer any kind of a break and simply said it is what it is and this is the market price. So, I did tell him that I will write a bad review and this is it! They lost a customer for few dollars - Not the right kind of company that apprecuiates its customers.

RIP OFF
When I change to free nights, I new my daytime charges would increase, but really over 65 % was at night. I should save 25 to 30 percent on my bill with the increase amount. Of course they did the unthinkable. They graph my usage way up when I change to no heat days, no laundry days. no light downstairs days. up the heat at 9PM off at 7AM breakfast at 6AM laundry only between 9PM-7AM my bill went up $260 and I would told my bill would decrease from $167 .

This company is a ripoff
Im not angry because Ive been with the company for four years, I would expect better customer service at this point but they only want your money and nothing less. I paid my bill the next morning after it was due and they charged a $25 late fee. Thats ridiculous considering the pandemic that we are still in right now! They should offer a grace period of a week, at least! I cannot wait until my contract is up so I can move on to better companies! Also, dont ever give up when trying to get out of paying their ridiculous fees. Spend as much time as you need researching their company and policies before you just hand over extra money. They are inexperienced to say the least and they argue like children. Fight for your money!!!

Amigo Engery is horrible
I have with them for years and in the beginning they were awesome, but I had nothing but problems since then. Most times their app does not accept payments, when you call you are put through the wringer and nobody is ever available. The website is not much better. Had to research to find a way to pay my bill more then once because their system was down and on top of that they will charge a horrendous late charge, even when you can proof that you tried to pay for several days.
Their customer service is bad.
Used to recommend, but not since the last year - stay far away from them.
Highway Robbery
I was stuck in a contract for 2 years and one time I paid my bill 1 day late they charged me $25. Not to mention their rates are ridiculously high I was paying 13.9 cents per kilowatt!! Look at other companies do your research it will be worth it $$$ Do NOT sign with Amigo they do not accept their customers!!!
Amigo is not your friend!
Amigo Energy is a terrible company to do business with. We were charged $175 for an early termination fee and we are moving to an area they do not service (could not transfer service). Additionally, the switch was initiated by the prospective tenant of the individual we sold our house to. While we were still transitioning from one house to another, they made the switch and Amigo charged me $175. They won't waive the fee because I "did not inform them." That is my point! I didn't inform them! They allowed the switch and charged me $175. Stay away from Amigo...they aren't your friend!
Gotcha!!!
Leased a home, had Amigo for the 4.5 years we lived there. Landlord called TXU to transfer service for the first day after my lease ended. And since TXU contacted them before I did, they will not remove the $175 early term fee. I have provided proof that I was moving, and the new address isnt in an area that you can choose your own provider, which they admit is an acceptable reason to cancel and not be charged. Theyre not budging and CS Reps are not helpful - not real sure Im being transferred to a supervisor when I ask for one. So, use caution if/when you move.

Amigo goes from good to bad
Amigo has change their prices along with their customers skills. This company went up on the cost and is very hard to talk to them . I got charge over 18 cents a kw and they drew money out of my bank without my permission ( they kept my bank account on file from previous payments). Anyone who decides to go with amigo be aware. I talked to four representative and they all seem to be hard to understand.
Letter to terminate
After being 3 days late on bill due to the coronavirus Amigo Energy sends a letter to cut your electricity off. They don't care.
Rates
Excellant co. no issues at all, except when 2 yr. agreement up had to go elsewhere because their offer was higher than competitors.
I am sorry to hear that you had to leave but glad that you had a good experience with us. If for any reason it doesn't work out with your new provider, feel free to contact us to get the services reinstalled. Thank you for your business!

Amigo Energy
Very disappointed with the plan and costumer service. I started out with a 12 month plan. The rate was very good, but when it was time to renew, I was told that the rate had change but it would not go up very much. My bill had almost doubled and my unit had not been on since the summer. When I call costumer service they will let the phone ring for hours while you listen to a recording. EXTREMELY DIASPPOINTED.

12 Year Customer and NO Loyalty
1/2020 - I received a bill for $461.73 for 1 month. They charged me 18.999/kwh! Come to find out, I was being charged that for the past 6mths. Obviously, the 2+ year contract ended, however, I don't look at my bills; just go online and pay them. So, I called today 1/27/20 to see what can be done about this bill and they stated "Nothing can be done about this bill but we can put you back on a plan to reduce the rate." The rep escalated the call to a "retention specialist" who then told me the same thing. In 12 years with them, I never had my electricity turned-off, however, they mentioned the couple of times I was late (guess I'm the only one). Nonetheless, I paid them their last monies they'll get from me after gouging me for 6mths. A company losses a $21,600 revenue stream (avg 150/mth*12yrs) over a 461.73 bill. Nice Job!**Let me guess - I'm sorry to hear about your recent experience as we value each and every one of our customers. We appreciate the 12 years you chose us as your provider. I would like to get your account information so I can look into your unique situation. blah blah blah**

Unbelievable that these crooks are still in business
It is unbelievable that these crooks are still in business. They "took over" my service without my knowledge, then charged 4 times market rate. I switched away as soon as I found out, but they were insistent on billing me over $500 for 10 days of service.

Amigo promises but cannot seem to get anything right.
1. To start I explicitly asked to be left off the promotions lists ... not hammered with emails, texts and phone calls almost immediately after placing my order.
2. Calling back to get taken off the list I asked to not be a part of, I realized that the customer service number they advertise 888-469-2644 is answered bu what sounds like an old-school fax machine.
3. Of course the bill was sent right on time, but they failed to link my account to the login to their website so I could pay my bill online.
4. During the time that they are trying to figure out how I can pay my bill they want to charge be a "past due fee". ... Not to mention the that they could not get the separation of billing address and service address right!
5. After less than 60 days of service I called and cancelled (calling to cancel was a condition of the contract or get charged a fee).
6. After calling to cancel they tried charge me a fee anyway - despite living up to the language of my contract: "as per the terms of your Agreement, you will be required to pay exit fees, unless you contact us directly." Still wasting my time fighting that!
Thankful to be rid of such a sh*tty provider anyway.

Extremely dissatisfied
This company has a pathetic business practice. Their CSRs are not knowledgeable about the plans or rates. One of them just hung up on me. Also, they do not offer affordable energy by any standards. My bill is double what it was with my last provider!

Sounds good but its not
They make it seem like you are getting an awesome deal because everything is included but the fixed rate is over .14 per kw. Double what other companies charge. My bill for a small 2 bedroom apt is over $200!!

Will not work with you and they have the highest rates available. Flat fee to cancel is $175.00 the highest I have ever seen. Run from this company.

Thiefs, liars
I worked for Amigo Energy and it's the worst company I have ever worked as a customer service representative. They dont pay us for the sales and lie to us about how there gonna look into it. It's a lie there not they push us to make sales but at the end we dont get paid. They lie about the plans they offer. So be very careful before you sign up with this company. There plans are not what they seem they are.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!
I have been a loyal customer for over 10 yrs with them. They have had really good customer service up until this year. On renewal they gave me 14 cents when market highest was 11 cents. I was out of town so I had to commit so lose service. Then they asked if I wanted to pay an extra 10$ for renewable electricity, which I told them that was the company's problem to fix their portfolio, not the customers. So for 3 months they had been telling me that I could set arrangements for 3 payments, but each and every time they never honored the third and had to scramble to meet higher payment. Mind you my bills are close to $500 due to the ridiculous rate they are charging. So this month called to make arrangements, they informed me new policies took place on July 17th where company won't make any more payment arrangements more than 3 times in a year period. To kick it further this is not just going forward, but goes retro. As a customer, I have not received anything in mail advising of all these policy changes they are making.
My suggestion.....run away as fast as you can from this company. They have changed and service to customers is no longer important.

8 years of loyalty for nothing
I have never been so screwed by an electric company than Amigo. They recommended the Nights Free plan and now I am getting ripped off having to pay more than double than what I am used to paying. This company is a rip off.

Poor customer service
Was told on 2 May that my previous month bill was included in the new bill and I could pay on the 10 May with no issues. Come home today at 515 pm and I have no power. Called spoke to two energy advisors and told there is nothing they can do unless I pay right now. I had to explain multiple times payday is in the morning and there is nothing I can do till then. Since I have to throw out probably $500 worth of groceries I guess it is time to find another company

Don't believe the hype
I have been using Amigo for some time now and all of a sudden our bill is higher than it's ever been me and my wife are not home much because of work we haven't used anything central (heat or air) we only use lights, Tv, and about once a week washing and drying for our bill to be close to $500 a month this is unheard of. I'm not sure if they are reading meter's right because we have been suffering in the Texas heat just to see how our bill turned out and it's still almost $500. When we started out we ran heat and air 24/7 and our bill was never that high now we hardly use anything and we are paying for suffering not really sure where they are getting their calculations. I'm very disappointed at this time and not satisfied at all.

Amigo SUCKS
This is a joke of a electricity bill! Customer service sucks and you will wait forever to get ahold of someone! My electricity was turned off over $86 that was disputed and approved according to the lady I talked to but then electricity was turned off and they wouldnt turn on and then told me it would take 4-6 hours to turn back on! Ive been a loyal customer for 2 years! Leadership is a joke, customer service is a joke! I will be finding some where else to go!! DO NOT EVER GO WITH THIS SERVICE PROVIDER!!!

Renewal quotes too high
There's alot I like about Amigo. Their initial rate through Texas Electricity Ratings was really good. They send weekly usage reports so I know how much I'm spending each week and estimated monthly bill so I can adjust usage. I never had a billing issue. Cons - It took a long time for them to set up the transfer. I made several calls in the first weeks because I never heard from them and I was afraid I wouldn't have power. Their renewal quote was 5 cents per kw hour higher than what my contract was, much higher than any company on this site. I hate to move companies again, but it's too high to continue. Recommendation if you have a good quote with them would be to lock it in for several years.
Hi JR, thank you so much for this great review. We appreciate your feedback and being a loyal customer of Amigo Energy!

Perks Scam
I switched plans because Amigo raised their rates to where I could not afford them. The problem I have is that I have been with them for 10 years and accumulated a lot of Amigo Perks (their rewards program). So when I go to their website it shows a statement instructing me to use my perks before they expire. So I went in their today (expiration day) and tried to use my perks points. Perks site shows I was suspended even thought they expire today. Amigo says I can no longer use my perks. Their explanation was I was no longer an Amigo customer. A good customer service company honors their commitments but not Amigo.

There is a fee to pay your bill
Amigo Energy charges you $5 to pay your bill every month through their website! If you decide to sign up with them make sure you read every page of your agreement and ask them up front if there is a fee to pay your bill. I will not be renewing with Amigo.
Don't waste your money
I was with amigo for years and will never go back. Every time your contract is up they change your rate before the contact ends and then lie about when it ended. I have still been fighting a month of billing that I was over charged. After talking with 4 people and emailing the proof my contract did not end until a month later they still have not fixed my bill. I will never be a customer of theirs again.
A shady company that tries to scam customers
I called this company to ask about their rates. They agreed to call me back the Tuesday following the day of my call. Well, that call never arrived and this company had signed me up for a 24 month contract without any authorization or any of my personal information. They actually went as far as to put my account on a random email because they did not have my email address. I have been disputing this change for 2 weeks now and I do not recommend that anyone even so much as call this company.
Horrible Experience
I couldn't be more dissatisfied or appalled by a company that I have been a loyal customer for years with. I was charged more than double my monthly payment this month for using the same amount of wattage I have been using for several months. This is how you treat your loyal customers: changing my bill from 9 cents per watt to 20 cents per watt without any notification. Steadily raising your prices so the consumer won't notice. I'm letting everyone know, this is not acceptable. As soon as I can, I am changing energy companies and telling as many people as I can to change too!
No Customer Service
In attempting to disconnect when we moved, we discovered that the customer service line is not answered. Ever. Most of the time it hangs up on you automatically. So we tried the email address given on emails: it does not exist. Bounced. Finally, in calling the "i want to begin service" number, we were placed on hold for 18 minutes one day and 36 minutes the next day. Now they are saying that we must cancel by mail (more service for them) because my mother (Altzheimers) is not on the call with me, though I have paid every bill through my checking account and my phone and email are the ones on record. 58 minutes. Extremely poor customer service.
THEY ARE THIEVES
Two months ago I signed up with Amigo Energy and my first bill came in two weeks collecting $ 75.00, two weeks later I received a $ 422.00 bill, so I called them and they told me it was the program that I had chosen, when I was told I would pay 10 cents per kilowatt, I asked to cancel the plan and I just got another bill for $ 397.88 for a period use of 15 days. Never, never, but never sign with this company. I got evidence! They Are THIEVES
The WOW factor!
I really like my electricity provider. I've been with Amigo Energy for all most a year now and I think they have excellent customer service, prices are great, and a great perks program. If they had a commercial I would definitely be the one on there truly bragging about my experience and the wow factor they provided to me. Thanks Amigo!
Lots of choices
I was confused about all the choices offered for electric companies as I am from Maryland & there aren't many choices there for providers. I went with Amigo on the advice of an acquaintance & was very pleased that it was so easy to sign up for service. I called their customer service line & was happy with the help I got.
Horrible Customer Service
I don't see a review option, so I'll leave mine in a post. We were very happy with Amigo Energy until our contract ran out. We called them to see if they could give us another great rate, but they could not. So we shopped around, found a better rate and changed companies. Then the problems started. Our bill is usually due on the 2nd of every month. Well, since we canceled our service, Amigo decided our final bill would be due on the 13th. Since we pay all our bills online, we did not realize this due date change until we started getting threatening phone calls on the 16TH. (The 14th and 15th were a Saturday and Sunday, no less). We have tried to call and reason with them, no such luck. Meanwhile the threatening phone calls continue. Our bill would not have been due for another week, but because we canceled, they have been harassing us for 3 weeks. So, do yourselves a favor and pick a different energy company.

Worst company in the market
This is a night mare, this company is the worst. The bills are too high, could you imagine be charge about 21 cents per kilowatts? This just unacceptable, they lie about talking people that the bills are gonna be very low and at the end I got a very high bill. Can you imagine $115 dollars for 5 days this is just too much.
We value your feedback and will share it with the appropriate teams.
Many customers who receive a high bill are actually just off contract. When your fixed agreement ends, you are switched over to a month-to-month plan which can vary depending on Market conditions. We'd love to have you back as a customer, and if you'd like to discuss fixed plan options, please call us at 1-877-240-3931. As an added bonus, you'll receive $100 in Perks Points.

Shady business practices
When I signed up for amigo energy it was at HEB. There was a deal going on for free nights. I needed a new one so I tried it out. I was told that if I switch providers before 4 months I wouldn't have an early termination fee. I signed the online contract but never received a contract in the mail or email. After the first month it was too expensive for me so I switched. When the bill came it had an early termination fee. I called them and had to wait 24 hours before they called back. After speaking with them, they said that I wouldn't have had an early termination fee if I had called amigo energy and told them that I was switching. I was never told that at the beginning and I never received my contract. I am still fighting this and it is very shady business practices. Do not recommend. If you are one day late on payment then you are hit with an immediate late fee.

Watch out for Amigo, they are not your friend!
When my father passed away and was appointed executor of his estate, could not get Amigo electric to change billing address so I could take care of his electric bill, until they talked to my passed away father. Also could not get name on account changed until they talked to my dad. Told them he was already buried and they still wanted to talk to him! Amigo is no one's friend! Went thru hell with company. Finally changed electric providers and told them to collect termination fee from my dad and gave them the cemetery address and told them to go to hell!

Trying to intimidate their estblished customers
Amigo did not want to honor the program and suggested it didn't exist. I claimed it was a new home hook up and they did finally accepted the fact it did exist. they even sent me emails saying " we are sorry you are leaving amigo energy". what a bunch of uninformed ( employees? )
Worst Customer Experience
Amigo Energy refuses to respond to me. Moreover, the Chat does not work / is always closed. Have sent emails (April 2nd and April 4th) to the two different email addresses provided. No response.Have been a loyal customer for 4+ years. They changed my service and I am now on a very expensive variable plan. I don't understand why. Plus, I am a senior living on a very limited, fixed income, I can no longer afford my medications because of my electricity bills. Completely shameful customer service. No one will help me.
Amigo Energy - New Enrollment - Pending Payment
I applied for new service but they just said my application is pending. Then they sent me an email saying they are waiting for a deposit, but they don't say how much the deposit it and when I called I was hung up on two times and each time I was on hold for over 10 mins. never got anyone on the phone. Account never set up because I don't know how much my deposit is and no one is available to answer the phone line. The online chat service does not work at all. Good Luck to anyone trying to get a new account with them. I can see now this will be a terrible company to deal with going forward. I really hope they make enough money to solve the poor customer service issues.
CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS !!! :(
No Customer Service
I tried to switch to Amigo using the Texas PUC Power To Choose site. After signing up online they sent emails about needing a deposit. I called twice to speak with a service rep and was placed on hold for over 15 minutes both times. I will not be using a company that can't even be bothered to sign up new customers. I can't imagine the ordeal if I actually needed something from them.
Do not sign up for this.
They are late in posting payments, and then want to charge a late penalty. Two months in a row with this problem. Try to reach by phone....expect long, long hold times. 20 minutes the last time. Do yourself a great favor, and stay away from Amigo, because they are not your amigo.
Lower bills
I have used Amigo several times over the past 5 years. My bill was always considerably lower with the bundled plan available with Amigo. I also signed my parents up and they are very happy with the drastic drop in their electric bill. the past two months. I would highly recommend Amigo to anyone wanting to lower their bill.
Quick activation
Talked on the phone with a wonderful lady that told me all the ins and outs of the plans and set me up with one perfect for me. I called at 11am and it was on before 2pm THE SAME DAY!! Wish I could thank her but I forgot her name
A Great Company
I had some bad experiences with some companies,But not Amigo.They works with you,and for as their customer service.They desrve a 100th.I have been satisfied.I'm glad I picked them as my electric provider.
$29 Late Fee's!
I have been a long time customer of Amigo Energy however in recent months I noticed my bill getting higher. Normally we just pay our bill but with my recent lay off we have had to pay closer attention to bills. Of course, because of the layoff, we have had to shuffle manage bills in a way that didn't always allow paying on time, thus the late fees. This is when I noticed the $29 late fees. Now don't get me wrong I understand a charge for paying late however what I am struggling with is a mindblowing $29 late fee! I can understand a $5 or even $10 late fee but $29!?!?! I just think this is nickel & diming people to death! So now I am looking for another carrier. Oh, by the way, be on the lookout for the $10-month fee that they never make mention of when they are pitching their low rate sale because it means your not paying that $0.07 per kWh, you paying more once you factor in this fee.
Harvey storm
I live in Houston and like many trying to put my life back together after the storm. I was out of work for due to the weather for a week in a half so of course no work no pay. I ask for some time they give me until today but I called today to see if I could get until next Friday the men said sure but if you don't pay we will cut your light off. This is what got me why are why sending out emails to customers saying that y'all understand if we need time or help because many of us was affected by the storm to call. What help are y'all giving to your customers at this time? That's not helpful now I'm worried about what if I didn't make enough money to pay on everything and if my lights are going to be turned off.
Rude and Confusing
Workers are rude and they harass you if you have paid half the bill for the next payment then they tack on new prices that have nothing to do with the previous balance. I shoulda stayed with Reliant.
The worst customer service in the industrty
The concept of customer experience is lost on this company. DO NOT use AMIGO ENERGY.
Awesome company
What attracted me to amigo was the free nights. I never heard of the company until i was looking to switch and did a rate comparison and theirs was cheaper.
Been with amigo 3 years and looking for a lot more to come
.
Worst experience with an electric provider ever! I called them on a Wed to set up service to begin that Friday. I was told electricity would be on Friday between 9am and 9pm. By 830pm Friday my power was still not on! I had no one to call, no 24 hour support or anythig because the office close at 6pm Mon-Fri! I had to wait until Saturday morning to speak to someone only to be told that my enrollment was still in pending. The agent put me on a 15- 20 minute hold only to come back on the line and tell me they could have it on in 24-48 hours. What?? I moved in on Friday and it is now the weekend which means Im looking at maybe Monday for power to be connected!? So displeased I cancelled all services before they even began! I called my old provider (whom i should have just stayed with in the first place) and they had my power on in about 2-3 hours that same day (saturday)! I've definitely learned my lesson, cheaper is not always better!
Really good rates and service
Have never had any issues. Been with them for 3 years. Just wish when renewal time comes up that they would reward current customer with lowest rate instead of increasing rate and giving new customers the lowest rate.
Very impressed
I never write these but this company has been awesome and thought i take the time to give them a little praise. Really wish more companys like comcast would follow there customer service. Been with amigo a couple years. Twicevi have had issues with my power. Unfortunately the problem was me. Was working out of town, lost my card and received a call my power was off. Made a phone call expecting them to tell me had to wait to receive my card and they would cut back on. I really called just to get it scheduled asap after receiving itvin 2 days. The lady told me it was fine, told me to pay it when i received card and cut it on within a hour without any payment. All she said was next time call as soon as i can which i should have but had alot on my mind. Also i told her to payment in 48 hours. She told me she would add a extra 2 days in case i had a problem receiving. Amigo energy also send weekly usage with peak usage so you can control bill. Not many companys would have done that. I do recommend this company. Just wanted to thank you guys.
Bad experience
I called to make a payment arrangement and everything seemed fine and staff was helpful up until I called to make a payment on the scheduled time....the operator said they could not take payment that no arrangements showed up in the system. I asked to speak with the supervisor in charge . This supervisor informed me the same information...I argued my case and asked that they honor what was arraigned originally...the supervisor argued back and said she would have to put me on hold to review the recording of the original Telephone call with their representative and I. The supervisor gets back on the phone and let's me know that that representative should never had told me such Payment arrangements would be made. Therefore she could not honor the original agreement or take the payment originally agreed to. That in order to continue my service I would basically be forced into another agreement. This is after the fact over an hour and a half maybe two clarifying that she refused to honor our original agreement. So being forced to a new agreement or getting cut off having kids i had no choice at that instant timeover the weekend. I switched to a new Electric company on that Monday and refuse to pay amigo electric company based on this incident now itso the only thing I have bad showing on my credit THANK YOU FOR NOTHING AMIGO ENERGY....
Do more research
Beware when you get 2+ year contracts they go from 10.4 cents perkw to 11.4, 12.4, 13.7, then on top of that they start charging a base charge of almost $10 to your bill. Horrible expierence. They only tell you whats convinient for them. Sadly i realized this 1 month before my contract is to expire. I called ahead of time thinking they were an honest company and got another 2 year contract. Supposely where my rate will never go up and NO BASE CHARGE ever for 2 years. If true i will change review. If amigo energy disappoints me again i will terminate this contract right away if they cant keep their word then why should i? but i will not be scammed or lied to ever again.
My fault they made it right.
We pay our bill the same day we receive it, but as will happen with electronic bill pay, we filled out the bill pay at our banks website but evidently didn't actually save the bill pay but closed the website before doing so. Figuring the bill was paid we didn't do anything else. We got a late pay notice with a charge of about $26 more than the bill, for late fee and cancellation notice fee. I called customer service and because we have been a 4 year customer with no late payments they quickly credited the charges back to my account. I felt this was more than fair.
OMG THE WORSTTT!!!!!!
On october 4th I switched to amigo from a different electricity company.. Before switching I had to send over some doucmentation stating I was a new resident because there was a switch hold at my new address.. Ok cool sent all documentation and had services turned on. And then the hell begins. On October 24 my electricity was turned off and when I contacted amigo they told me there was a switch hold and I needed to send documentation again. So that was done AGAIN... Calling 104082 times a day to check the status of my acc and all the reps tell me the same thing "you need to send documentation" and once I say Ive already sent it they then say "oh yeah we have it here" after talking to the last rep she told me it would take up to 3 days to have the documents I sent forwarded over to centerpoint to have the switch hold removed, so being frustrated with no lights I decided to stop calling and just let them do there job and hoping the lights will be back on by day 4... NOPE I call on day 4 for the 82828284 time and the rep tells me that my account was cancled and we can reopen it by doing another credit check. Its been a week i have been without energy I should have followed my first mind and switched to another company after the first mess up. This is my first review I have ever written on a company this is honestly a horriiibbbblllleeeeee company and been an awful expirience
Worst experience EVER. Do not use!
Right off the bat I payed a $175 payment I was told was my deposit due to my lack of rental history BEFORE I even had an account. The day before my move in day, my apartments manager let me know I wasn't found on a light company. When I called I was told that they never started up my account, yet they took my money. Now on my second months bill, I am being charged another $175 on top of my bill. I called and spoke to a representative who I had to tell multiple times I wanted to speak to a supervisor who finally transfered me. After finally get ahold of a manager, whose name was Anna I believe, she explains to me my second $175 charge was my deposit. When I explained in full detail I had already payed it she panicked, put me on hold and hung up on me. I called back getting the same representative from the first time, I immediately asked for another manager and was given Anna again who after a very very long hold period told me I then OWED more money. After going back and forth on and off hold as they are trying to figure out what THEY had to of done wrong, I am told they will have to call me another day after trying to figure out if I can even get a credit or refund. I am then told they will call me tomorrow morning after they figure out how to get my deposit where it should have been. THEN was HUNG UP ON AGAIN. I have received no refund or even clarity of the situation and now in fact owe even more money for what I was explained, absolutely no reason. To end this whole disastrous review, if you haven't already, DO NOT USE THEM. They are scammers they have no customer service skills at all.
TERRIBLE choice!!
Their fees are ridiculous. They have no value for their customers. I was 3 days late on my electric bill and was charged $42.
Positive Review
I have been with Amigo Energy for over two years. They quoted me $ .089/Kw and it averaged $ .08966/ Kw.I am very pleased with all aspects which includes their billing process. I never needed their customer service department.
Absolutely WORST company EVER
I switched to another provider back in February. Amigo sent me a bill saying I still owed a balance for energy used. Fair enough. I was on auto-pay and everything should be just fine.....until I get a phone call saying I have an outstanding bill. I call them and have to TELL THEM that I'm auto-pay to just charge it to my credit card. I was on the call with the client service person and they said it's processed and I'm good to go. Perfect....until today...May 4, 2016 (almost two months after the disconnection) that I get a call from 1-844-287-1033 saying I have a balance that needs to be paid or it'll go to a third party collection agency. I immediately check my credit card statement and low and behold...there's the charge. So, I called the exact same number they called me from and left a message and tried to ask for the person that left the message (she spoke so darn fast I clearly didn't get it right). I was immediately sent to another number where I asked to see what I owed. It's a ZERO balance because they charged my card. So, I call back the same number that was in the message and at this point I'm pissed and not using my nice voice. The client service person, Carlos, was LESS than helpful when I asked to speak to his manager. In fact, he HUNG up on me. So, what do I do...I call back and start to yell. He looked up my account and said I have a ZERO balance and that no one from his department called me. I then asked if the 1-844-287-1033 number went to any other Amigo department other than AR and he said NO. At this point I got belligerent. I went to explain to him that how could no one call from his department when it's displayed on my phone and have a voice message????? Did Puff the Magic Dragon call me. When I ask to speak with his manager again....he transfer me to Customer Service AGAIN. HORRIBLE COMPANY WITH THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE....and my issue is still NOT resolved.
Avoid Amigo Energy at all costs
Have used Amigo off and on for several years without a problem. Last month I was inadvertently two days late in paying their bill. I paid the $6.57 late fee shown on the invoice, no problem, but they also billed a $22.00 disconnect notice fee. I'm getting rid of this outfit as soon as I can.
DO NOT HAVE THEM FOR YOUR ELECTRIC COMPANY
I decided to sign up with amigo energy in January of 2016 I had no down deposit which I thought would be a plus as every other company was going to charge me 250 to $300 my first months bill was about 200 fine and dandy no problem got my second month bill I was one day late as my check did not enter my bank until the day after which I was do not only did they charge me a $20 disconnection fee they also charged me a $10 late fee my bill from $231 to 266.00 not only am I locked into a one year contract after my one year contract is up I will not be with them anymore I will pay a $200 or more deposit to go with a better company they are a scam and they are really s***** and have horrible customer service they do not help customers out whatsoever so do not use them and when they tell you you're right is 8.9 they're really charging you 11 or 12 kilowatts an hour
Stay away
I missed one payment and my service was disconnected within 2 weeks. Never received a disconnection noticed. Really? I know I missed a payment but it slip my mind. You could at least wait for next service month. I was with Reliant for 10 years, never had a problem with them. I am switching companies, even if I have to pay an early termination fee.
Amigo?
They will send you a $22 "disconnect" notice if you are one day late on your payment.
Horrible Provider - DO NOT USE
From bad customer service, to confusing and often dishonest billing. I will never use them again. WILL ONLY RECOMMEND NOT TO USE THEM.
Questionable billing (and mailing) practices
I have been a customer with Amigo for 5 years now, and I never had any issues with them until this year. It all started about six months ago when I received a disconnect notice in the mail after never having received my original bill. I assumed it was a Postal Service error and paid the bill. A few days later, my original bill arrives in the mail, postmarked three weeks previous--yes, Postal Service error. For the next few months, I receive nothing but disconnect notices in the mail in lieu of bills. Fed up, I then attempted to access my account online to change my billing preferences to paperless billing, and--surprise!!--I can't log in. So I call customer service and have my billing preferences changed. Everything runs smoothly for one month. Then, in lieu of my emailed bill, I receive another disconnect notice via Postal Service. How is it that these people can send out a disconnect notice on time, but not a bill (and a PAPERLESS bill, at that)?? I checked my spam folder to make sure my bill wasn't misfiled. No bill; but somehow they can consistently spam me with my usage analysis every week. For at least the last 4 months I have been consistently robbed by Amigo with their late fees and their inability to send me my bill. Their complete and utter incompetency is baffling. I am eagerly awaiting the day my contract is up so I can cancel my service.
HORRIBLE
I regret ever signing up for this company. Should've known with a name like "Amigo" Energy it would be a company that is not with the game. Right now, I can't simply logon to my account...that should be easy enough but it is not. The website is crap. I paid anywhere from$75-85 with Reliant and now with Amigo, anywhere from $128+. I could go on and on with my complaints. Please do not sign up with them. Terrible.
Amigo Energy likes to steal money right off your hands
If you're shopping around for an electricity company DON'T GO WITH AMIGO!!!! I started with them November 2014 and can't wait for my contract to expire and go with another company. I picked a "Green Program" and every month I get charged a lot more...when calling them their personnel is very rude!!! If by any means you can't make your payment on time you get a penalty of $11 and a few days later a disconnection letter along with an additional $22 penalty fee....that's close to $35. I regret going with this company and just counting the days to switch to a different provider.
Fraudulent billing practices
You will pay a higher rate than they advertise. stay away.
Worst customer service and billing
I just finished with my contract and I'm so happy to be able to switch. They would never send me a bill or email notification that my bill was due. I would have to login to their site and hope that I was in time to pay my bill (then charged to pay it online). Although they would never send bills, they would send pink disconnection notices with outrageous fees and when I called, none of the reps could hardly even communicate with me in English and they would all claim that my first bill had been sent out.
Bunch of Crooks
I recently moved to TX from NJ and am seriously hoping that not all Texan companies are like this one. I have received 4 bills from them and they all came late!!!!! I setup my mobil bank app to pay the bill automatically and every month they still send me a disconnect notice!!!! I even called and asked them if they're using scare tactics to try to get me to pay extra. I swear the minute I can I'm switching to a REAL company!
Bad service. Avoid going to them
Very bad service. Customer support is rude and not friendly at all. i would give a '0' rating
No Problems with Amigo
I had two to three accounts with Amigo for around three years and never experienced any problems with them. I recently switched but only to get a lower rate. I would go back to them in a minute if their rate wasn't higher.
Amigo is NOT your friend. Deceptive Advertising and Pricing!
Amigo advertises a price per kwh for their fixed rate plan, but then actually charges you a higher rate. They make their average price per kwh APPEAR lower by giving you a bill credit if you use a certain number of kwh (e.g. 2000 kwh) per month, so their AVERAGE price for 2000 kwh looks like it is among the lowest available. But they are actually charging you a higher price per kwh than that average... the credit just makes it look like it is lower. So if you go over 2000 kwh, your average price per kwh will end up being higher than what you thought you were getting. If you don't understand all this, just trust me. Their plan is not competitive. Find a plan that does not give credits, but just charges a flat rate. Read the fine print on the EFL. If the company is forthright, the energy charge in the fine print should be lower than the advertised average price/kwh because they have already included other fees and charges in the advertised price. Amigo is not doing this... rather they are showing a lower price and then tricking you in the end.Also, Amigo will try to make you pay the cancellation fee when you figure out what they have done. If this happens to you, you will have to complain loudly and file a complaint with the PUCT to get Amigo to do the right thing. Just avoid Amigo in the first place!
This company is a JOKE..I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I AM HEARING!!!!
I am so sorry that I elected Amigo Energy for my service. My experience today with customer service was an absolute nightmare...I asked for a supervisor and was told ( Maria Tzul) one would return my call within 48hrs. What? the supervisor rep. has 48 hours to call a customer back about a pending issue needing answers today! There are several FEES included with this company so bottom line = no advantage. The even charge a fee to pay your bill on-line with any type of card!My contract ends within a few months and I will happily end my service with Amigo Energy..Billing and Account Management = 0Customer Service = -0How likely are you to recommend = 0Order Experience = 5Price, Plans, and Promotions = -0
I should have listened
Not worth the headache for minimal savings. go with someone else!!!!! customer service reps are pleasant but useless. read the other reviews. i should have listened when i read them initially but i had to go and learn the hard way. hopefully no one else will need to learn the same lesson the same way.
Buyer Beware- Read the fine print
I signed up for the Base Saver 12 plan recently. I normally use between 2,000- 3,000 kwh per month and expected a rate of 8.8 cents kwh on my statement. What I got was a rate of 11.6 cents kwh and a $60 credit. With all of the additional or recurring charges this came out to a rate of 9.4 cents kwh. I called Customer Service at Amigo and spoke with three different people, including a supervisor. I asked how I will ever get the rate of 8.8 cents kwh shown on the Electricity Fact Sheet. I was told it wouldn't happen and that rate is an "average" they use for marketing the plan. They pointed out the 11.6 rate is listed in the details (fine print). Also, they disclosed that the more electricity I use, the higher my rate will be, so even the 11.6 rate is not guaranteed. This plan is promoted as a 12 month fixed rate plan. I feel like Amigo, while they may not be doing anything illegal, has deceptive practices. They put a rate out that gets you to sign a contract and then admit that you may never actually get that rate, but something likely to be much higher.I told them I don't trust them and I wanted to cancel my contract, they said it would cost me the $175 cancellation fee. I may pay it to get away from Amigo, as I expect after my first dealing with them, and what I read in these reviews, that I will have many problems with them. I have done business with 3 electricity suppliers in the past several years and had no problems what so ever. Their Facts Sheet quoted a rate for people who used over 2000 kwh and it is the rate I saw on my bill each and every month. Amigo misleads the public with their rate of 8.8 cents per kwh. They should put 11.6 cents in that box and be clear about it. If you are considering signing a contract with Amigo, beware. Read all the print, and expect the worst. My advice is that you go with another supplier.
Run Away from Amigo
First month did not receive bill but checked online and showed about to go past due on last day for payment. I decided to put on autopay so a few months later they showed me past due again by 3 days. I called customer service and they said first attempt the previous month to autopay was declined by my bank !! NOT !! They cancelled autopay without notification ! This month I checked (luckily) and they showed me 2 days past due ! Called customer service and they told me the lie about my card being declined the previous month but that it went through on the second attempt. $10,000 open credit on this card. Lies. Now I have set it up through ach on my bank account. These people are the worst. Previous 10 years with other providers were never a problem. Suddenly I have to check constantly to make sure they are not manufacturing lies so that they can charge me a $15 late fee. That is the only reason I can think of why they will do this. Never again !
OVER CHARGED EACH MONTH
I have used Amigo for the past three years and really never had a problem until they started sending me my bills late and TRIED charging me a disconnect fee BUT after putting my foot down and turning the tables on them and threatning them all fee's were waived, anyhow I decided to sign my mother in law up with them, the first month was really low for her (as it should be, she lives in a 1 bedroom 820 sqft) then came her second bill!!!!!!!! HOLLY MOLLY!!!!!!!!!! Her bill came out to be over $200!!!!!!!!! I sent email stating that there has to be a problem with that seeing that she lives by herself in a small apt and explained to them that I live in an OLDER HOUSE (1958) and my bill was much MUCH lower then her bill, they stated that they would send ONCOR out to re-read her meter (THAT NEVER HAPPENED), my mother in law paid the bill because she didnt want her electricy cut off, well the next moths bill came in and it was higher then her last months bill!!!!!! I called this time and cursed everyone out to answered the phone telling them this is WRONG!!!!!!!!! There is NO WAY my mother in law was using this much electricy and all they could tell me is they will send ONCORE out to re-read the meter, this time they did but was told the meter reading was correct. Next thing you know she is getting a disconnect letter and was charged for them mailing the disconnect letter. Of course I call and raise HELL again and told them that they can take that bill and shove it where the sun dont shine because my mother in law is NOT paying that bill and will be switching electric companies SHE DOESNT HAVE TIME TO PLAY YOUR GAMES!!!! Even though I have not had problems with them (except the two times my bill was not mailed out in time) but seeing what my mother in law is or was going through, looks like I will be switching companies as well before they try to do the same to me!!
With amigos like this, who needs enemies?
If your kwh usage does not come out to exactly 1000 or 2000 kwh you will pay more per kwh. Amigo does this by issuing a refund when you use 1000 and then 2000 kwh. So if you use 999 kwh, you will pay much more per kwh than if you use 1000 kwh. Then your rate will increase up through 1999 kwh, until it drops again at 2000kwh. Past 2000kwh, your price per kwh will rise with each kwh.Amigo does this so that they can advertise low rates because the example billing sheets only report the price per kwh at 1000 and 2000 kwh. This is an incredibly dishonest and disingenuous practice that should be illegal. We ended up paying about 33% more than the rate we were promised. I switched companies and saved over $100 on the first partial month's bill.I will never use amigo again and will dissuade everyone I know from patronizing this business.
Heidi H
Never have I experienced such uncaring individuals! Not to mention their late pay practice in completely ridiculous. Here in Texas you have such big electric bills in the summer you get hit with a late charge THE DAY AFTER YOUR BILL IS DUE! Then five days after they the mail you a notice of termination which is another 22.00 just because they had to mail you the notice!! And they won't refund it when your payment has crossed this mailing! COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!! I have never had an electric company with this type of practice!! Plus I don't know what has happened but my electric bill have NEVER been higher than they are right now with this company!! I think there is a scam somewhere!! I will vow to tell as many people as I can not to choose this company!!
Absolute Nightmare!
I am a mentally sharp senior citizen of almost 84 years. I have recd and paid utility bills in Dallas since I was in my 20's. Today for the first time I had a utility shut off! Yes, the bill was paid. Amigo can'tseem to manage it's accounts. I recd. a disconnect threat, called them and thought it was straightened out.Then today I came home to find puddles in front of my two freezers and no power. I thought there was an electrical problem in the neighborhood and waited for hours for it to be resolved.....until I heard my neighbors central kick on. I called the company and assured them that they had been paid.They would not accept my word so I paid AGAIN with my credit card this time.I am retired and do tutoring from my home. Students had to be canceled.....which cost me money.I just signed up in June and I have 2 MORE YEARS TO GO! Well, I don't think so.! I have no intention of living under this kind of stress month by month. At my age, I need peace. They got my business because I thought I was saving a little bit. The frustration and nervous tension is NOT WORTH IT.My credit is clean to date, but I am NOT STAYING with this company! I can't take the stress. If theyhad been honest, I would have stayed the rest of my life. They offed $150 incentive to join. NEVERSAW A PENNY of it and they don't remember it now. They never sent me any confirmation papersafter I signed up over the phone.either. This is not a business; it is a bad joke.They were combative so I threatened to sue them. After I paid on line with a second payment, theyeventually did restore my power. I am stuck for at least another month to use up that overpayment. Amigo indeed! More like Antipatico. I think we need a class action suit. Is there an attorney out there who would like to do a class action suit? Come on line and we will contact you. Rescuing others from this treatment would be a public service.Thanks for the public forum.
Bad Billing and Customer Service
Amigo had great service for start-up and a good price. Things went downhill from there. I was called about having them install a "smart thermostat" and it was explained that even though there was a $25/month charge it was guaranteed that I would save money. I saved no money the 1st three months (during the summer when there is the most opportunity for savings) I had them remove the stat within the 90 day "grace period", The $75 that I paid was never refunded. Now when I cancelled my service I was billed $295 for the thermostat that they took out. This was taken from my account by automatic draft. After an extended time on the phone and talking to several people, they said they would refund my money within 10 days. I called them after 16 days to find out where my money was and they said it was coming by check and would take 3 to 4 weeks.
Incredibly dishonest
We signed up with Amigo a few years ago based on a low introductory rate. With no price guarantees, we assumed their rates would stay competitive. Their rates went from 11 cents/kWh to 15 to 19 in consecutive months. It took 2 months after we noticed what was going on to get switched. They are crooked as a stick, but there was no recourse. I just paid the bills and tried not to think about it again. I can't believe they're still in business using the same name. Buyer beware!
2 year client
Did not receive my $175 deposit back after being on autopay the entire time and never missing a payment and several sales reps made up two completely different stories as to why that was, random charges, etc.After my second 1 year contract ended and calling and finalizing my account/moving out, with which the sales rep stated I would not be charged anymore, I was charged another month that I was not even living in the apartment ( the13th month out of a 12 month contract) for very sketchy reasons. I am assuming this is standard operating procedure for their company so that during that transitional time between residents they still get paid.Other than that no power outages or problems, but 1) dont expect to get your deposit back and 2) the sales reps arent fun to deal with.
Ashton Fillip
Today I got my electricity shut off. Good thing I happened to be off today, because it was not shut off until mid-morning and if I had been at work, I would not have had a clue until almost 6 pm. The reason it is cut off?? They said "non-payment" which is absurd because I paid last month, just like I do every single month on the same day. Apparently when I paid on their app which RARELY works, it didn't update in their system. Now, after getting it figured out, they tell ME that it will take "2-6 hours, no more than 24 to get cut back on" even though it is THEIR mistake. So I will have no air (in Texas summer), my food in my refrigerator and freezer will thaw, and I cannot plug in my phone or laptop that I need for school work and safety. This is RIDICULOUS!!!!!! I have had an old boyfriend that used a different company and his roommates would often forget to pay the bill, and they could go MONTHS without it getting shut off, and when they did, it would be turned back on within one hour. This happened to me after only one month and their mistake. This company is a piece of shit.
They post your payment late even if you send it in early
I use online banking to pay my bill from my bank. While all my other bills paid this way generally clear in 5 working days (receipt acknowledged by my cell, water, gas, etc providers) Amigo often takes longer. Just recently it took 8 business days (12 days in total) for them to register my payment. Of course this was after the due date and I was sent a pink disconnect notice and charged a $22 disconnection fee. After this happened twice I figured that this was just a slimey way for them to milk me for more money. They are not a good-faith company- to operate in this manner and I will dump them when my contract ends. To be fair, I complained to them about both 'late postings' and they 'waived the fee'....how very nice of them to be so generous. Notice they admit nothing. They were doing me a 'favor'.
They will nickle and dime you to death
If you move they will charge a disconnect fee of 22.00 and some BS penalties, they also charge 5.00 for making an online payment or over the phone. i will not get service with this company again.
The absolute worst!!
We had several accts active with Amigo Energy (started with Fulcrum and the sold out) and they were messed up the entire time. From wrong names on accounts, bills going to incorrect addresses, to no one answering customer service lines. I will never ever consider using this provider again and would not recommend them in any circumstance.
They charge you to pay your bill!
Unless you give them access to your checking account you are billed $10.95. That's right. I pay my bill very early through bank draft and I am charged $10.95. Yes, you are penalized for paying your bill yourself! Crazy!
Poor -_-
We made a comnection and let us pay for $550 for deposit just bevause we are living in a trailer house. We waited for them to make the connectiom but stilln no one's coming up. We are on our new home without electricity. Please improve your service.
My first late payment in 40 years
Just switched to Amigo because they were a little cheaper and since I am on Social Security I thought I would save a few bucks. Two weeks ago I realized I had not seen a bill so I registered online and pulled up my account. I was already one day past due date !!! They did not send my first months bill ! I paid online and set up my account on auto pay (which is scary with this company) because of their inability to send me a bill. Today I received my bill and they charged me a $9.43 late fee. After reading the poor reviews I didn't even try customer service. I don't want to sit here and steam for 3 days because of rude customer service after I am already steamed over their inability to send a statement. Stay away from this bunch of losers!
Never Again!
I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt when they switched me to them within a few hours of signing up not within 3 days as they said they would when I got an email confirmation to them. I found that they were my new service provider because I went in to check my TXU account and said I was no longer a customer. I then called Amigo and they told me that they had switched me to their account on that same day that I signed up. Mind you, the email said if you wish to cancel the switch make sure to call by the 3rd day with no penalty fee or something along those lines. Then the guy tells me that I cannot cancel the service anymore, but their confirmation email said something else. So, I sucked it up said it would be a year before I could cancel the contract since by that time it was too late to cancel. Within the first month I get a notification that my bill is late and was charged a $20 fee. I wasn't aware that my due date had changed and this was something they couldn't do anything about either. When I called it took about an hour to get through and only to get a simple "sorry we cannot change the due date on your bill." I've been waiting for August to come around so I can cancel them, well Thank God that I am moving because I would have never known that they can't even transfer your service to your new location without having to start with a whole new contract! Yeap, they told me that the current contract would cancel itself because I am moving and a new one would have to start - so I was upset clearly because I did not want to have to start all over again with this terrible company when all I wanted was to get out. I asked how much the fee was going to be for completely canceling the service next month because I did not want them to continue to be my provider when I moved to my new place and thankfully they said that because I am moving I do not have to pay a cancellation fee of $150. Well at least I can say that is one good thing! With this I would not recommend Amigo Energy the service is just not worth the few cents you'll save a month.
No problems
Good overall. Only point of issue would be the billing. They charge $5 to pay online (though I didn't get that charge last time I paid) and the bills come in the mail sometimes shortly before the bill is due!
But (because a bill came late) I got a disconnect notice and the date was due. I called and they were friendly and extended my date so my payment could go through.
Bill not received, Disconnect notice received SWITCHING!!!
This has to be the ABSOLUTE WORST energy company ever!!. I keep on being wrongly charged, and whenever i call, the customer service is extremely rude. I didnt receive Bills for 2 months in a row but I received the disconnect notice. And there is a hidden 20 dollar late fee that isnt written on the notice at all. Their records never correlate with the amount you see on your bill or disconnect notice. SWITCHING ASAP!!!!
Stay away
Extremely rude customer service. Even comically rude. They hit you for 20 bucks if you're a day late in payment and then yell at you over the phone when you call to complain. I'd rather get my electricity from the mob.
Great Company
I have had no issues with Amigo Energy. We have used them for over 5 years now with no service interruptions and great fixed rates.
Worst company EVER
I honestly don't even know where to begin with this sorry excuse for a business. They truly define RIP OFF with big ass letters. They never send bills out on time, they automatically send them with disconnect notices forcing you to pay a $22 fee every time whether you pay it 'on time' or not, don't even show account info or a statement online, phone lines are closed on weekends, constant phantom charges for who knows what you can't even dispute, A FREAKING $170 CHANGE OF ADDRESS FEE WHEN MOVING WITHIN THE SAME CITY, WHAT THE F***, crap customer service, not to mention higher bills than normal. They actually tried to send us a bill for an almost $500 month when the balance on the automated line said it was only $193. Bare in mind, we practice energy efficient living. So this is bull. Stay away as far as possible from this piece of crap incompetent company. The genius behind all of this is lucky we aren't suing the hell out of this 'establishment', even though we've been advised to.
Still suck, probably
Surprised to see these scumbags still in business as after they tried jerking me around and given they likely do as much to all their customers as a means to maintain profit in the a spence of much business acumen, I figured they would be scratching lottery tickets and their asses once the business folded. So much for the market filtering out waste products like this, prices we have a failed electricity system in Houston. Oh well guess some politician is profiting from the customers' discomfort but campaigns need ever increasing financing and well it's a me first attitude for some politicians...hey good to vent that, hope they are reading this and blush resulting in immediate changes in policy, I hope and hope and 12% of eligible voters choose to vote and we get Ms Cutie Pie Mayor and her lover.
No bill received / late fee an termination notice recv'd 4 days later
I did not receive a bill in Dec 2013. I did not notice, possibly missed due to heavy email volume that I receive every day, or spam file delivery. Not really sure why. Due date was 12/23. On Dec 27 a disconnect notice and $22+tax "Disconnect Notice Fee" was sent to me and received on 12/28. This works out to a 20% fee on a $100 balance. I immediately paid the bill online. This is my fault for not noticing that I had not been billed, but a disconnect notice and $22+tax fee after 4 days with not even a "did you forgot to pay your bill email or letter"? Nope. Not going to stand for this. I've had electricity service for 40 years, and I've been with numerous companies over the last 10 years since power to choose. CAN'T WAIT FOR MY CONTRACT TO EXPIRE, then moving on to another provider. Note: on hold with customer service for 15 minutes, but they DID remove the late fee, so that brings down my anger level a little.
A big FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
New customer applying called amigo energy due to a friend recommendation 17 times put on hold each time after 20 minutes on hold each time i hung up.. called cpl and was treated with respect a small waiting time maybe 30 seconds.. amigo is worthless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They dont have a --- scale but if they did I would rate them at the lowest -10!!
Pretty good experience
Re-upped with Amigo after an initial 6-month term. Without negotiating, I was offered another 6-month renewal rate lower than a new customer rate, and much lower than what is advertised as their returning customer renewal rates online. Renewal process took 5 minutes. Honestly, was very surprised, as I usually have had to ask for a new customer rate with my previous service providers upon renewal. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.Also, person spoke English!!!! Was not based in another country. Allowed me to opt out from marketing calls, as well.Lastly, like other customers, I was billed an Internet ACH fee of $5 in my last bill. Customer service gave me a solution to not paying it - just set up an auto-pay. It's auto-debited on the due date, so nothing lost.Will see how things go this next 6 months and keep my fingers crossed that rates don't move upward too much by June.
Run away from Amigo!!!
I have had nothing but misery from Amigo. They have screwed up my bill multiple times and sent me many disconnect notices on my two accounts. Each time requires an hour or more of hold time on the phone. They fix the problem and apologize many times but then you get next months screwed up bill and disconnect notices. Save yourself the misery. Run to anyone else.
Power is off
I have paid my account on time and find out yesterday that I got an early termination notice that my power is to be turned off. I never requested for my power to be turned off. I have been with this company only 2 months. My 1st payment was sent and gone through my bank as paid on time. The rep yesterday tells me that some requested the power to be turned off. I never nor did I look at any other companies to switch. I want my power turned back on. My family has to check into a hotel tonight. I spoke to one of their rep with an hour of their email to me that the power was requested to be turned off. That was 2 days ago and they told me that there was nothing to worry about.On top of all that they are charging me a 125 feeI want my fee refunded 125 and hotel stay - I want my power on today! I will file a complaint to BBB and every social media I can find. Stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst choice
They have lots of extra fees for little things and if you pay your bill a day late they already want to disconnect your lights and you have to keep calling them to adjust your payment because they will try to charge you extra for something your not even suppose to pay for can't wait till this contract is over
Buyer Beware... not to be trusted for a minute
My contract expires May 2014 and I am practically counting the days... what a bunch of crooks!!! I signed up with them as their Memorial Day special was the best available. First month, i had service for 4 days so they charged me $19.50 for not using enough electricty. Also, NEVER sign up for their home warranty for your AC... I never got any paperwork defining what the heck I was paying for until I filed a claim with the PUC = then the PUC sent it to me since Amigo sent it to them in 2 days but could not get it to me over a period of 90 days. This company sucks. Also charged me $10 to pay my bill via a telephone call ACH... really!
WAS a good company
Unfortunately, this company has been sold twice since I first signed up and is now owned by one of the biggest electricity providers. Gone is the great customer service provided by employees who cared. Gone also is any effort to retain loyal, longtime customers. In return you get treated just like you do with a huge company. Their policy seems to be to stick you with a much higher renewal rate if you are stupid enough to hang around. It's sad that any company operates this way. I'll be going elsewhere.
What a bunch of jerks!!!!
I used this company before, boy am I stupid for using them again. I moved to a neighboring city and did not have a place to live and stayed with friends. I wanted my deposit left with Amigo until I found a place. They would not let me do that so they took out my last bill out of my deposit and they owe me 109.00. I have now found a place and have gotten the boggiest run around about when my deposit will be sent to me. I have been told three different dates now it is 90 days from when I had my electricity terminated. What a bunch of crooks. If I wanted to go with them again I would have to pay another $175 dollar deposit and they are still holding $109 of my money. I called the t Texas Utility Commission in Austin and filed a complaint with them yesterday. The Texas law states that they have to return it in a "REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME" But of course this is not defined!!! We need to get that changed so that it is a clear set time such as rent deposits have to be returned in 30 days. If you are thinking of using Amigo DON'T!!!!
BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY
Initially, you will probably get a good rate, but they will stick it to you at renewal time. My previous contract had a $9.95 per month base rate, in addition to the usage rate, for usage less than 1000 kwh. With the renewal, the base rate was increased to $19.95 per month. In other words, you are penalized for conserving electricity. This is a common fee for all providers, but all others are $9.95. I will have to pay a penalty to cancel my service, but I cannot get anyone to call me back to discuss this. According to Amigo, I am one of their "Valued Customers." They obviously need a dictionary.
Worst Choice Ever Made!
They are by far the worst electricity company I've ever had. They trap into deals such as a smart thermostat with free incentives then charge you over $500 over a year in payment. And if you try to remove it they will pull out the contract that you so called signed when you got for the contract. Worst customer service to go along with all this mess. Dont choose amigo energy at all!!!
LEAD ASTRAY
I REALLY BE GLAD WHEN MY CONTRACT ENDS THE 22.OO$ LATE FEE IS OUTRAGEOUS NEVA HAD I PAID THAT BEFORE AND NO / BET NOT /CAN'T WONT /`AIN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO DO IT/ WILL NEVER / REFER MY WORST ENEMY TO AMIGO
Ripped off and headed to court
I tried to switch after my contract ended, and my order was declined,due to Amigo Energy, placing a switch hold on my account. That is after I told an amigo saes person I would not recommend them nor offer there services through my 5Linx company, which offers Amigo Energy. My contract ended 5/8/2013 and I switched or attemped to switch 14 days before contracts end and I was temporarily trapped by Amigo, because of a deferred payment arrangment, which was fullfilled 8 months pryor. They also continued to collect the deferred payments months after I had paid my balance in full......I was told the system kept it on the bill and it would be adjusted, in which it stilll hasn't. Now they jumped my rate from 9.4 to 13.9 and think there gone to get paid, well to the Amigo corp. I say get it how you live, you want be broke as long as I owe you. The worst company to deal with, see you in court, who's up for the class action law suit,? Please Reply to this message.....Sincerly the son of a corporate Lawyer, Mr. Harris
5 years and counting for residential and business
Never had any trouble and I have 3 accounts with them 2 residential and one business account for an townhome community. The rate offered to renew has always been the best I can find at the time I need to renew. The customer service has been great. English spoke here and the customer service location is in Houston TX. I do not understand the other negative comments I have read on the reviews. They also are offering referral rebates but are not based on dog and pony show marketing. I like this company!
Great company / no complaints
I had NO ISSUE whatsoever. they started on the day i requested, i had not 1 interruption at all.the first bill was kinda tricky and high due to some billing issues and fine prints...i cant blame AMIGO ENERGY for it because its the freaking government that lets them do these "gotchas"....its just incredible that none of this is regulated. but over all, I was happy with them, my 12 months was up and i had to drop them due to an increase in rate.
NEVER!
These clowns actually charge a fee to pay the bill! Wait.....so I have to pay you to...pay you? What a scam, it will cost you $5 to pay the bill. Also if you don't speak hindi you're in for a big surprise, all their extremely rude customer service people are sitting somewhere in INDIA and can barely speak a crude form of what kinda sounds like english. When you ask to speak with someone who can speak english they say " I eem speaking eeengrish" no my friend, you're not!
They take 15 hours to re-connect your electricity!
This is the 3rd time I do not receive a bill and get my lights cut off. They claim all the information is correct then charge a disconnect fee, this time they said i need to be on an email so they can email me my bill and I still haven't received an email. All of a sudden my lights get cut off, I call at 3pm to pay the bill, they say it takes 2-6 hours to re connect and once it was 9pm I called to see why they haven't been back on their office is closed. Mind you that Houston weather is hot at its peak hour of 4pm and I have 2 small boys. I called centerpoint to see if there may be a power outage and they say no but my electricity is cut off because of payment and they never received a re-connect notice. I had to go rent a hotel room because it was so hot, my food got bad. I called Amigo energy at 8am on the dot to see WHY my electricity was never on and all they could say was that the re-connect notice was sent to centerpoint and they don't know why it wasn't put back on. I asked to speak to a supervisor and they sais she would call me back and never has, her name is supposedly El. And i am still waiting for her phone call, my light just got put back on at 11:00 am the next day, that was 15 hours later. I am very upset and will be switching and never recommending Amigo Energy to anyone!
Nice Company
I found an affordable, 6-month rate with Amigo. I ordered the service a bit late--just a couple of days before move-in, but they were really understanding and had everything up and running in time for my move. I found the renewal plan too expensive, so I canceled without any trouble. Customer service was always nice.
Billing / Customer Service SCAM
After receiving my cancellation notice (1 yr up) I transferred to another company and was then charged the early termination fee for ending within 2 weeks of the end of the contract. I spoke with a representative who could not give me a decent rate and told me that I could go elsewhere now that i had received the cancellation notice. Obviousely not because on my last bill was a 125.00 fee + a 5.00 "one time credit card fee". I have been paying the same way for 11 months and was told that the service for a C.C. payment was truly one time. Don't believe it. When they want to charge you they will, they just decided to on my 1st and last payment.
David
Unbelievable. Read the details on the offering or you will be sorry. Cost my mother in law $300 because of me not seeing details.
Harrassment, overcharging, fraud, and deceit
I chose Amigo when I moved to Texas a little over a year ago because I wasn't familiar with how the unregulated system in Texas works and it was the company the previous owner of my home used. I wish I had done more research. My bills were high, even for Texas standards and you could only get an answer out of customer service sporadically. I had multiple issues getting my account set up for auto payment and the bill never really reflected what I thought I had agreed to. Then in December I began to get calls about the new smart thermostat. I was unemployed at the time but my current home thermostat was over 20 years old and on its last leg. At the promise that it wouldn't cost me a dime extra and was "guaranteed" to save me money. I agreed it. The salesmen kept calling, even after I purchased the product. I finally had to threaten one of them with being reported and also blocked them on my phone to get the calls to stop. Between that and the fact that I never could get an actual cost of the unit, it should have been a sign. However, I let a very inexperienced technician, that they sent, install it, though they never were able to get it fully integrated, supposedly because I used Verizon (which I told them from the first phone call). A few months later, when it was time to renew and they didnt offer me a rate even close to what the rest of the market was offering, I decided to switch providers. I emailed them asking what needed to be done, why my last bill was such a mess, and what I needed to do with the thermostat. I never received a reply but a month later I received a final bill from them, paid it and forgot about it. Now two months later I have received a $500 bill for the thermostat! Im appalled. I wont be paying it, its fraud. I would never recommend this company and would advise others to please do your research before signing an agreement with them. They will rip you off.
Bait and Switch
Watch out, they will double your rate without telling you after your contract ends. It's the old bait and switcheroo.
Above Average
Better than most
Billing mistakes
They charge outrageous fees. Even when their Auto Payment system fails to work, you end up paying late and disconnect fee of over $25 for a $50 bill. If you didn't have your Auto Payment setup, you have to pay $5 to $10 fee towards "Payment", even if it check, or credit or debit card.
Overall pleased but will be switching
My review is very similar to the last one. I have zero complaints from Amigo other than being caught off guard for a $2.00 monthly credit card autopay fee.Their prices for new customers are very competitive, but thats where the good prices end. When it comes time to renew, their renewal offers are easily 1.5 to 2 c per kwh higher than average. If they had been able to provide the rate they provide to new customers (still seen on powertochoose.org) I would have stuck with them.Alas I am not, I love switching from REP to REP every 6 months to get the lowest rate I am comfortable with.
Not bad
I picked their company based on price alone. It was a great deal. I had no problems with getting my bill by email every month, and I liked that they sent it .pdf, so I didn't have to log in to look at the bill. (They do only give it to you about 2 weeks before it is due though). Unfortunately, when it came time to renew, their prices were a lot higher than most of the other companies. They sent me several emails with 'deals' to renew, but every one of them was higher than the average of the other companies on powertochoose.org. I also appreciated that they reminded me of when my contract was going to expire, so I wasn't surprised when the rates went up. But at the end of the day, they didn't want to keep their customers long term, so I switched to save a few bucks. I would recommend them---if their rates are good on the day you are looking.
Great company for 6 years
I've had Amigo since 2006 and they have been fine - even gave me the $25 referral credit after I contacted them though they said I didn't put in the right code. Only bummer thing is the $2/mo fee for using a credit card. But changing now because rates are too high... I'd definitely recommend.
Service
Just had a little mishap when switching services but other than that, no probs.
Consumer beware!!!
Getting started was a breeze and everyone was so nice and friendly. Once I committed to a contract, boy did that ever change things! Every single time I have to call, the associates are just plain rude. They must have the most unhappy employees you could ever meet.In addition to the negativity from the employees, they also told me twice that service would not be interrupted when I called to make a payment arrangement. I simply had to wait until payday before I could pay my bill. I called and they said it was acceptable. When my power was shut off days prior to this, I called and they said nothing could be done because services were already disconnected, regardless of the fact that they agreed to let me pay on my payday.Don't stop reading now, it gets better! I was using their autopay system when I first signed up. I changed this because it was not convenient for me, as I did not get paid on a normal 2 week or monthly pay cycle. I called to have autopay turned off and they said it was disabled. For 3 consecutive months, autopay was NOT turned off and each time it put my checking account in the negative. I had to resort to having my bank put a permanent stop payment from my checking account to this company. After that, when I paid my bill until the contract was up, I had to load a prepaid card or go to ace cash express to pay my bill because I did not want them having my bank details again.This is hands down the worst experience I have ever had with ANY company, not just electric providers. It absolutely baffles me how they are still in business and retaining customers when their rates aren't the best rates available.I hope I can prevent other people from the frustrations I have had with amigo.
Terrible customer Service
This company is cheap but not cheap enough to deal with the total lack of customer service. After signing up for this service, I waited and waited for our email bill. I called them three times to check that all our information was correct and was reassured that everything was correct and that I should just be patient and wait for the email. Then out of the blue our electricity was disconnected with no warning. I had received no bills at all. This was at 7am. their office did not open until 8am to complain. It took my husband and I close to an hour on two separates phones to get anyone to answer our phone call. They had the wrong email address despite insisting three times and treating me like I was an irate customer that they had it correct. Then they informed me that I had a disconnect charge of $25 and that it could take up to 24 hours to reconnect the electricity. I had to call the public utility commission and complain. It took about 6 hours to switch back on and with a lot of arguing they refunded the charges. I have lost all confidence in this company and we are waiting the 6 months until the contract is up and changing to a better company even if it costs more. I do not recommend this company to anyone. They should have sent a disconnect notice by mail, even if they charged for it, or made a phone call. In some circumstances this could have been dangerous. As it was my husband could not get the car out of the garage to go to work and we were left on what was probably the coldest day of the year with two small children and no heating hoping that our pipes would not freeze.
Awesome!!
I have had Amigo Energy for four years and my bills are so low. I have two AC units I keep my AC no higher then 75 when away and 70 when I am home. My bill has never been over $250.00. Love them!
HORRIBLE Customer Service, Late Payment Penalties
Customer Service is Horrible! Stay away from this company.
In addition, I usually pay bills right after i receive it. Once I receive the bill, there is 4-6 days to pay it. If you get late to get your mail, sure you going to get a disconnect notice with $25 fee. Way to make money.
Stay way from Amigo Energy *** Bad customer service.
1. They charged $5 fee if you pay with credit card online
2. They made a mistake on the first bill. Called customer service, they would not refund.
However, i tried emailing. They responded fast and issued refund.
POrr Service
I made my payment by phone on the due date came the 7th of this month they dissconected my services i had to miss work go to my bank get proof of were they had withdrawn the payment and it took rhem foreever to connect my services. Come today i receive a phone call to let me know that my services was dissconected onec agaun. I understand they discconected the srvices if no payment is received but i made my oayment anf the services are still interrupted.
Good deal not worth horrible customer service
I was left without power in the new home that we were moving into because of a glitch in the ordering process (was notified the DAY BEFORE that my order could not be filled on time. I was busy moving and did not get the message). When I called to have this resolved, customer service literally laughed at me and told me that I would have to pay an "emergency connect" fee. I had a small child and this happened in the heat of a Texas summer, so I had no AC. Needless to say I had to pay $80 extra just to have the power turned on for an order that I had placed a week before.
I will never use their service again and would not recommend them to anyone.
Slow Service
We signed up for Amigo Energy back on Feb. 28 but to this day, we still have not heard from them. I have made 3 calls to customer service to see when we are getting our bill and they say they are going to send us a packet but we still have not seen it. I am not sure what is taking them so long to send out a bill. It has now been 7 weeks since we signed up.
Poor customer services
Small hidden fees. Customer service reps are no help.
Worst Electric Company
Signed up with Amigo on a variable rate that was very competitive at the time. Within a few months, they jacked up the rate over 4x to nearly $.25/kwh. Company is a total rip off.
Too many fees!!!
When I signed up for Amigo the rate was 8.9 cents. Great deal huh? Not so much...every month I am charged a $6.95 monthly account fee plus $5 internet payment fee. Who charges to pay stuff online nowadays??? That's an extra $120 a year they got from me for paying my bill online for two accounts. I'm glad my contract is expiring in a week.
Pleasantly Surprised
I must admit I was a bit apprehensive when I got Amigo Energy simply because I had never heard of them before. In my experience, all the others always hit you with surprise charges and provisos. To make it even worse, when you are not happy with them, they make sure you are going to pay a hefty price for your bad decision. This time I did my homework and decided to try Amigo out. I am very happy to say that I have never been happier. The rate options are great and customer service is an actual living, breathing human being! They have always been there to help me when I need them and the real shocker is they are always in a great mood. When I chat with my neighbors they are shocked at how low my monthly bills are. For the past 3 months my bills have never gone over $35 dollars. Yes! $35.00 bucks! I definitely recommend that you do your research on option plans, fees, rates, etc. Since they are constantly changing but Amigo Energy will always come on top as the best plan. Just be careful with the "others" small print. I have noticed that they have scrambled to make their fees look great but will not last more than 12 or 24 months and disconnection fees may give you a heart attack. So far, I have been with Amigo Energy for almost four years. I have had two contracts and I still got a great rate the second time around. Since day one, I have never had problems logging into my account online, with the auto-pay charges, technical or account issues. This is the first time that I am absolutely worry free about my electrical bills.
Good Service
I strongly recommend Amigo to all of my friends.
Amigo is the best!
We have been Amigo customers for several years now. We have the lowest rate of anyone we know and I tell EVERYONE! When we moved across town, our service was transferred without a hassle. We have been very pleased with every aspect of our Amigo Energy.
Amigo is Awesome
I like Amigo because their rates are low and they are very customer service oriented. They have always been very courteous and helpful on the phone.
Love this company best rate i could find
Always very friendly customer service and the best rate i could find. I have been with them three years and counting and do not plan to change anytime soon. thanks amigo
The best Electricity Power Provider
Customer service = 100%..I cannot say enough about
Amigo..I just love this provider. Customer service
says it all about a provider..no matter how little
it is.
Amigo is Honest
I left a big company out of disgust a few years back when they pulled some strange stuff. It was even in the media that they were suspected of jacking up prices one very hot summer, taking advantage of folks. Amigo has never done anything but offer fair prices, good service and easy auto pay. I do appreciate that and have two accounts, have been with them for several years. Any strange stuff and I'm gone. But so far no worries about that. The reason I gave 3 on order - I did one account online and it said my electricity would be turned on a particular day - didn't happen, it was hot weather and I was mad. However, the weekend messed up things with Oncor - the Big Boss, so I got over it. Customer service was a 4 because sometimes the wait is long, however the folks are courteous and prompt in their service once you get through. Honestly you rarely need to call them, so no huge deal in the end.
Long time customer
I have been a customer for years and I enjoy their
great customer service.
Don't sign up for Amigo!
They give you a very short amount of time to pay your bill then charge very high late fees. Their rates are OK but beatable without a contract by others. We have been very unhappy with everything about Amigo Energy. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.
Couldn't be happier.
I love Amigo Energy. I've already convinced some of my friends to switch their service to them. I was even able to convince a door to door salesman for another electric company that Amigo was better than the company he was trying to switch me to.
Great Texas Company!!
I have been with Amigo for almost 6 years since I moved to Houston. I have seen them grow into a great company, and the customer service has always been stellar with really low rates as well. I highly recommend!
Excellent service
Have used Amigo for 2 years. Pay electronically. Absolutely no problems with bills or service.
DO NOT GET AMIGO-NO CUSTOMER SERVICE
Amigo Energy will charge you 22.00 late charge even if you are 1 day late paying your bill. I do not reccommend them. They will tie you to a 2 year contract, and if you are late 1 day after the bill is due. a whopping 22.00 dollars more charged to your account. I rather pay the cancellation fee of 175.00 than live scared that they will turn my lights offone da y after the due date. ridiculous and outrageous. DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN THEIR GAME.
Great rates and hassle free service
I have been a customer for a few years now. Great rates and good service. Who could ask for more??
Great Choice
I totally recommend Amigo Energy ever since I switch with them my bill was a lot cheaper.
Displeased Consumer
Amigo Energy's negligence has cost my family thousands of dollars. Due to their own ignorance in their billing they shut the power off to my property while my family was away on vacation. Upon returning from vacation I had to take another day off from work to clean up the huge mess left by the melting/thawing goods from our refrigerator/freezer(s). When I called the Manager at Amigo they admitted no fault and were unwilling to help with the cost of the losses. More to come on this story!
Good job
Good service - great price
Excelent Customer Service and Rates
I have been for more than 4 years with this company and I can tell, that they have the best customer service ever, including the service for the spanish speakers.
3 year customer
Customer service is not great but the price is most of the time one of the best.
No problem
I've been with this company for over 2 years, and I have no problems with this company. The only time I had to call customer service is when I need to renew my contract. It was very straightforward and the process was quick. I would definitely recommend this company.
Billing
Continued to bill after I changed companies. Several calls were answered with promises they would get it fixed. After several months I stopped getting bills, until a phone call from a collection agency. It took a formal letter to the Texas Utilities Commission to finally get it fixed. I would never recommend this company.
Would not do it again
We did not receive a bill for he month of August, and on Friday, August 26, 2011, found that a disconnect notice was sent to us. This occurred after business hours on Friday. The cutoff date was August 29, 2011, effectively giving us Saturday only to take care of the bill at one of the three vendors that take payment for Amigo Energy, which we did, at a cost of $2.00 plus having to make a quick trip to the bank since they only take cash. This was humiliating and unnecessary. After calling, all the customer service people would say is they sent the bill and would wave the $22.00 disconnect notice. Their business processes are garbage. We didn't receive a bill and were going to be charged an extra $22.00. There is a problem here that needs cleaned up.
Unreasonable
My review is in relation to their customer service. I know that there are
fraudulent people out there changing services, etc. but what I
experienced with Amigo was SO FRUSTRATING!!!
Last week, my husband and I got on the phone with them to ENSURE
that BOTH of us were listed on the account in order to handle any
transactions.
When I called this week to disconnect services at one house, they
wouldn't let me, but only wanted to talk to my husband. (That's WHY
we called last week, to authorize BOTH of us!!!) Customer Service told
me that I was authorized to do anything BUT disconnect. (not true AND
they couldn't find where we called about that request - I even had a
date and a customer service reps name.)
So here we are in the middle of a huge move, and I had to bother my
husband at work to ONCE AGAIN handle the disconnect services.
I'm not liking the other reviews I've read....perhaps I'll be looking for
another service company at my next house....
Great Retailer!
Competitive pricing + accurate and timely billing
+ good customer service = no problems! Highly
recommended.
Contract Commitment
Amigo is weak on following their contract and are quick to send you a disconnect notice even thou they did not follow their own contract for electrical service.
Raise my price over 30% w/o any warning
You have to watch these guys if your on contract
and that contract ends they will jack your rates uo 30 to 40% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst Company EVER
I have been with Amigo for Three years now for there rates. Yes they are good. There service is the worst ever. I have to call every mounth to fix mistakes that they make on my rate. I have a .089 rate FIXED but ever mounth they try to charge me more, this mounth it was .135. They lie to me every mouth and say they fixed it. But they dont !!!!! STAY AWAY FROM AMIGO. Pay more and save yourself the stress .. you have a better chance at ordering 30$ of Taco Bell and they getting your order right then getting treated honestly here.
Double Billing
I was a supporter of Amigo Energy until they changed their billing system, and double charged all their customers---and act as if their giving you good customer service by having you extend your doubled bill. You're not fooling anyone with a false extension. It's like paying a bill every 15 days..instead of monthly. I got my a second bill four days after another, and they lied and said it was a system glitch. If it's a glitch, why can't you fix it. They're looking for a sneaky way to update their accounts, since they charge from the prior month. I can't wait until my contract is up. It's over!
Took two payments and won't give my money back
I called five days before our bill was due and asked if I could pay half on the
first and half on the fifteenth?
Amigo agreed sent a letter that the auto draft was turned off and the took half
the payment over the phone. The next day on my online banking the whole
amount was auto drafted and my half payment was also taken out. We
immediately asked for a refund and this over drew our checking acct. Seven
days later no refund and they are blaming the bank. Told me they wire transfer
then on the phone told my husband we don't do that it will be a refund to take
three to five business days. Calls to them have been numerous and about four
hours of our time. Ridiculous !!! So glad we have them til next Feb
Excellent energy provider
Reliable company
Amigo means 'Friend' in spanish, dont let that get to your H
I had a low rate for 2 months from a 6 month contract. I requested an address change, simple and done. 3rd month, I received my new bill with a different rate, much higher and a brand new contract with them. When did I sign up for that? come on 'amigo'. I called them and they said the moment I clicked OK on the address change, I was screwed 'cough' sorry, it means you agreed to a new contract and new higher rates of their choice. They claimed that I had different option plans to pick from. However, I wasn't given any options. They never notified me of any rate or contract changes. I only found out because my new bill. Amigo is great, when it comes to renewing contracts, they do it for you! haha. I wouldn't be upset if I really did make these choices. I would NOT recommend them. I also found out later after reading the fine print agreement that your phone number will be listed for marketing calls. Even my worst friends doesn't do that to me, haha.
Satisfied
Sorry for all those bad reviews I just read, but honestly I've had better service with Amigo than I ever had with HL&P and Stream energy. Amigo promised me a non variable low rate,locked in contract and I've been with them 3 years now. Once contract is up I lock it again at same or lower rate. As for Customer service, I've had no problem with them yet.
On hold with customer service over an hour & they called me
When I initially signed up they prompt I have had them since 2007 my contract was up for renewal several months when I found out they were over charging me and they had switched me from residential to commercial I am residential. they couldn't explain what happened. jacked my rate and couldn't fix any of the issues.
Mr.
Terrible company!! They have been charging me late fees for numerous months when I have auto debit from my visa. Back in March, my visa expired so i remitted my new expiration date. They have been charging me 25 dollar late fees ever since. Called customer service and they are only given me a 25 dollar credit. Bunch of crooks!! I'm currently having the Texas Utilities Comm. and Better Business Bureau investigate. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY!!!
Dishonest
I signed up under a variable rate when they had a very low rate. After I was with them for a while their rates skyrocketed and they were very unhelpful on the phone. I switched to another company and they charged me about 30 cents/kwh on my final bill as a going away present. Very dishonest.
WORST EVER!
-Consistently horrible customer service. -Customer service rep.'s flat out lie to customers--say anything to get you off of the phone -HAD TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH PUC JUST TO GET MY DEPOSIT BACK -Years after I paid last bill and switched providers, they reported me to a collection agency saying I owed around $150. How can I owe them when they sent me my deposit back? -PUC investigated and found Amigo to deceptively reopen closed accounts, send another bill, say the bill never reached you, then erroneously turn you over to a collection agency.
No monkey business, just low rates
I've used them for over a year on the variable plan. I have not had drastic rate changes (month to month), and I am considering locking in my current or even a lower rate with them for a 6 month contract.
Nice price, no customer service.
Reminds me of dealing with a cable company. i would steer wide of this company
Promotions
Signed up for service on a promotion of 150.00 visa gift card,rec'd a email after 3 months to send in rebate info as it stated and 3 months later still have not rec'd the rebate. called customer service and it sucks they don't seem to know nothing about it and don't seem to want to resolve it. DON'T FALL FOR THIS AS I DID. IF YOU DO GOOD LUCK.
Actually Do What They Say They Will Do
Signed with them almost a year ago and have not had one issue with their service
Mine
Did ok they lost one payment for a week or two
AMIGO SUCKS! DON'T FALL FOR LOOK GREATE RATE!!
Spend the time to read Terms or Service...
Upfront rate may look great but be careful their customer service sucks and they get more money out of you just slamming you with so many changes. They even charge you $5 charge just for paying your bill on time because youre supposed to pay with auto pay. If for some reason your credit card declines they will slam you with another $25.
They are just greedy..
I never go back to them. NO ONE SIGN UP WITH THEM.
Amigo-A friendly lack of customer service
Three requests for service resulted in three automated email promises to get back to me within days - Months later I still have not heard from Amigo, except of course the bill comes right on time. Motto should be - We will charge you like you've never been charged before
Amigo service will shock you
Have asked for copy & confirmation of my agreement three times. Was told they would provide it - twice. Never got it and no response to my complaint.
Bernard Gordon Review
Was forced to use this power company when mine went bankrupt, they charged me way beyond the maximum, and puc made them refund $800
Terrible! Don't DO IT
When calling to correct a billing issue, I had to talk to 4 people including a supervisor. None of them had a professional tone nor vocabulary. I had been a timely customer for my entire term and received a suggestion to "be more responsible." Way too many problems for the price!
Buyer beware!!!Worst Cust Svc Experience Ever!!!
Buyer Beware!!!! Horrible Customer Service!!! Not only do you have to hold forever just to actually speak to a person, they have the worst customer service EVER!!!! Rude and unprofessional!!! I don't look at this co. to stay in business too long. Worst decision we have ever made regarding elect. service.
Ripp off artists
Legalized Theft!!!!! Started with a 11.2 fixed rate. also added every month $50.0 for deposit.Then gradualy raised rate to 26C/kwh.Many phone calls, kept promising lower rate.I am also a Texas Light qualified Customer -so they lowered it TO 24 Ct/ KWh!!! after 2 years of this I canceled and never got all my Deposit back as promised !!!
Rip-off King
I was put with Amigo when another company went under-our bill for the 15 days-$550-instead of wooing a lot of new customers -they quickly more than doubles the rates and didn't bill for 2 or 3 months, wouldn't respond to phone calls or emails-later PUC told them to adjust the rate, they didn't comply-google National Power + Amigo for verification.
FRAUDULENT DEALINGS - - BEWARE!
They confirmed - in writing - a low rate then billed at higher rate. After months of trying to reach them, they agreed that rate was wrong but would not adjust taxes, fees, etc.. Two other friends treated same way. NOW AMIGO HAS REPORTED THEM TO CREDIT BUREAU EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREED TO CORRECTED LOWER BILL, WHICH WAS PAID IN FULL. Texas State Attorney General has file on them but hasn't taken any action yet.
Best Rate Around
I just renewed my contact with Amigo energy for another 12 months using auto draft and was giving a rate of 9.4 kwh. I have been very happy with their service this past year and new lowered rates. Amigo energy keep up the good work at helping Texas families save money in these hard economic times.
Huge Rate Hike, no notification
I signed on with Amigo's variable rate plan over a year ago. My plan expired. I recieved no notification. My bills kept going steadily up til I got a whopper. Upon inspection, I found that my original rates had jumped from less than 9 cents a kw/hr to over 17.2 cents a kw/hr. I contacted the company. They informed me that my contract had expired and they were free to raise the rates. Amigo is no Amigo of mine. I've switched to another company. it has to be better.
Bait and Switch
I have a contract that says 10.9c per KW. But later learned that rate requires auto draft.
Got electricity just fine
Nothing special to say. I got electricity they got paid. Price was below average for the term at the time. I think I will go with a one year or less for the term rather than a two. May or may not stay with these guys.
No return calls/over charging
I have been calling this company since yesterday and it only says that the number is no longer in service. and for the last four months they have been over billing me for late fee for one day of $25. I told them that i was on oxygen 24/7 and recv and monthly ck on the 3rd of the month and when i forst got with them that was working out that way and when i kept talking to them about it they said we have never done that but that is a lie because i have all of my statements.
Love them
Never had any problems with them and they're prices on green energy are very competitive
They are okay
Customer service needs help.
Good price, medicore service
Prices were good, service reps. seem very uninterested in service.
Would not recommend!!!
I would not purchase Amigo again! The thing i dislike the most about Amigo is that, i have used their service for alittle over a year now. I have never been late paying my bill! So i just happen to pay my bill online and the soonest the payment would be recieved was only day after the due date! One Day! So they send me a disconection notice and would not take the fee off for disconnection notice extra $$$!!!! Being a first time offence and they did get payment you would of thought they would excuse that so they didnt and know i am looking for New Service! You must take care of your good paying customers some times. If you want to keep them!
Horrible service!
Never fall for door to door salesman. Price is ok, but billing and services are an absolute nightmare. They just cant seem to straighten my bill out. Try to avoid this provider if u rely on smooth and dependable service.
Amigo Beware
My payment was credited to someone else account. Even after phone call, Amigo Energy cut off my electric line. Only after numerous phone call and letter to PUC finally I get my account credited back. Never use this company again.
Amigo, I think not
If you wish to wait for hours to talk to a live person, this is the company for you. Customer service here is most likely 3 people and a dog. GOOD LUCK, I am getting away as fast as I can!
Not your "amigo"
These guys are the worst, When you call for customer service, they put you on hold forever, and then the call drops when you are in the middle of your call happened several times (funny though, I called the Spanish number and got through just fine) I like to pay my bills on line, but the online bill pay won't work if you are late, actually, after 3:00 the day before the due date. Then the real killer, Someone forgot to note that I payed my billm and they cut off my electricity by mistake. I can't wait till my contract is over
Amigo Energy Lies
I was merged into Amigo energy and went without a bill for awhile. When I finally did get a bill, it was over $500 and they were charging me at a rate of 25 cents. This was a huge increase, and I wasn't given any notice at all of the change and my rates didn't remain the same. When I called, they told me that the post office was to blame, even though I eventually got bills from July and TWO from August!
Amigo Energy Fraud
I had NPC energy, and was switched to Amigo after NPC stopped serving Houston. We received a contract that stated that Amigo couldn't raise our rate by more than 10%. Amigo refused to ever send us a bill, and then when we finally disconnected we got a double bill charging us at more than DOUBLE our rate we had with NPC, plus a late fee even though they failed to send out the bills!
Hi Judy. Thank you for this incredible review and for taking the time out to leave us a 5-Star review. We really appreciate you being a Amigo Energy customer.
Many Thanks,
