Stream Energy - Company Information

“  I called yesterday because my bill was 45.00 more because of a delivery charge of 45.00 the first guy couldnt explain it then waited 25 min for a supervisor who was rude and kept telling me I was lying that I didnt call in January. I called in January about my renew( and Ive been with yall 14 1/2 years which is unheard of but Im elderly and told him when I called to renew my service the guy told me I was rewarded for being with them so long so I can go month to month with the same great price but now Im getting charged more. I used less energy this month but my bill was 45.00 higher than feb. the supervisor got me so upset on the phone and I couldnt believe it. If not resolved I will be canceling. When I asked to speak to another supervisor he said I can hang up a recall. Wow. Julie 7134594186 just horrible being treated like a number ”

“  Difficult to contact. High rates and cancellation fees. ”

“  As a new customer dealing with this company was the worst ever. No one communicates no clear directions. Spent approx 1 wk waiting for a switch flick to get electricity. Hate that I have to pay for such terrible service. ”

“  One of the worst experiences in customer service, >30 minutes trying to understand what my rep Karla was saying. Goal was to find a new plan after my previous plan expired, and was shopping around for prices. During our conversation I had gotten a work-related call, and said that I would call them back. Next thing I knew, I had signed up for a plan. Sneaky, sneaky. My friend also had a similar communication issue with customer service. I get it, call center is in Mexico because it's less expensive. If I had to do a job that was not in my native language, it would be challenging to articulate like a native speaker. If Stream miscommunicates to their customers, what else will they do? I certainly don't blame Karla, her English was alot better than my Spanish. But if Stream management cares about customer satisfaction, they need to increase training or they will loose more of us. ”

“  I am trying to sign up with this company. Originally when I moved into my house 5 years ago it was registered with a bad address. I called the 866 number for Georgia to get it changed in their system. The first guy could not help me transferred me to customer services. It was a bad phone line with an operator with an Asian accent. The phone call did something weird about 5 minutes into the call and I lost the lady but the call was still active. I called back and asked for customer service. The lady told me she could update my billing address. I told her I was a new customer no in their system. She tried to look me up in her system anyway. I again asked for customer service. She then told me she needed to put me on hold. Forget it. This company is obviously micro managing their staff. Not worth it bad computers and staff that do not have the power to correct issues. ”

“  Been a customer for yrs and because of their policy I'll be switching companies ”

“  My rate was changed without my permission to the highest rate possible. I went from paying $170 to $876.00 in one billing cycle. They claimed they mailed it to me but I never received it. I was hung up on twice after inquiring. Final got a rep who said she change it back but then said could not change it. Wow! This is par for the course. Stream even turned off my gas and I had a zero balance. Zero! When I called, all I got was an apology and a reconnect fee and was without gas for 3 days. This is a sorry excuse for a company. I was advised numerous times that was being transferred to a supervisor only to be transferred a rep. Fernando, a supervisor said he would switch me back to the original. He said that the bill was wrong and said this is not possible for the bill to be that high. He said he never saw a bill like this, so he opened a ticket. He also said that there was no gas leak and the usage hadnt changed.
I knew something was wrong and had I not called it would have still continued. ”

“  Stream Sucks. Simple as that. The site barely works. For a company as large as Stream, the functionality of the site should be no question. I have to call in every single month to be added back on auto-pay. Every month I hear promise after promise that I was added back. Every month I find out that I was taken off without notice.

I can't add auto-pay through the site. Was there any testing done with the test? Do they have a QA team? Did they go through third-party contractors for this site? It is horrible. It consistently throws errors and all I have heard back from the last 4 to 5 months is that they are updating their systems. I'm a software engineer for a large corporation. Even at the size of my company a simple customer facing site like this wouldn't be hard to make sure functions.

Who ever runs their IT's online dept should be fired. Seriously. I would change providers but they run a legal monopoly within my area and I have no other options but to put up with this shitty company. ”

“  The worst electric company , your price goes up even with the same usage. ”

“  I believe Stream is a scam. You cannot pay your bill online. They charge $2.95 to make payment over the phone. The customer service is horrible and they never able to solve the problem. ”

“  I noticed my bill increased even though I was supposed to be on a fixed rate plan. I called and tried to move my service and was on hold two hours before I decided to hang up and try again later. NO ONE should have to wait 2 hours and still not able to receive help. I'm truly disappointed. ”

“  There is no way to pay online. The phone system is a NIGHTMARE. Sometimes you get friendly Texans who have to transfer you to your state (mine is Georgia) but often you get angry outsourced assholes who demand information they do not need. If my apartment complex did not use them, and force me to use them, I would never use this service. Stream Energy is a horrible company to work with, and it's honestly not worth the frustration. If you're looking for a good gas company, try to find one in your state that uses competent people. ”

“  I truly think this is a scam, and taking advantage of people's money ”

“  Called and tried to have the service transferred to my new address but was told that service was not available. I then requested to have power disconnected at the old location. unknowingly this was only a sales consultant . I was never told otherwise and considered it taken care of. Until i get a shock on my credit report for 146.00 dollars. after several attempts to get a certified customer rep I was told I never called to disconnect. I then told the rep that if I had not called how would I know they didn't offer service at my current location The only answer as I'm sorry Please be aware this company makes it hard to get the power turned off Its almost like the dish network equipment scam . were they disconnect and 3 months later bill you 500 dollars for equipment. ”

“  You can buy all the games you want but what they dont tell you is that you need a certain server to play some games!! THERE ARE NO REFUNDS!! and you wont find out what severs you need TILL AFTER you make a purchase!! ”

“  I am in the same boat as everyone else. 14 years with this company, rates always went up. I was lazy and didn't shop them , but this was the last straw. my rate was more than double than the market . I switched with 2 months left on the contract. they charged me the full cancellation fee, I called and asked for consideration or even competitive rates and got nothing There are better company ”

“  I previously had service with Stream that ended in 2017, it is now May of 2021. A random bill from Stream shows up on my credit report. 4 YEARS LATER!! I call to investigate. They say that I didn't cancel my service. Oh, really? Just so happens that I have the cancellation email. Does that matter?? No, they say my account was closed for lack of payment. BS! And it's for almost double my average bill during that time. Big Businesses are nothing more than crooks. So, my email is the same as it was then, but you don't email me to say that I have an outstanding bill, instead you go to the trouble to hire the worst rated collection agency I could find online, split what you say I owe with them, instead of contacting me directly?? Then their comeback is.. we sent you a final bill to the address of service. Geniuses aren't they?? The address where "I" cancelled service. After working very hard to improve my credit score, they managed to drop my score 60 points!! 4 years later!! ”

“  We switched to STREAM this past season. We feel it may have been a mistake signing on with STREAM and we will most likely pay to break our 12-month contract unless STREAM can get our account information straightened out. Although others who provided reviews, have had their gas cut off, we have not had that issue. Our issues with have been with account services. Our info was entered incorrectly which has caused issues in accessing our account with customer service. STREAM only use SS # for customer verification and that number was entered incorrectly by the representative when I originally signed on. In addition, the website is glitchy, lack of knowledge with customer service representatives, and there is a language barrier with most customer service representatives. The customer service 'managers' do a better job than the representatives but they seem limited as well and a bit short tempered stating they are frustrated with the situation as well. Indicates to me that the problems are more internal. STREAM has been in business since 2004/05 one would think they would have their act together. I would suggest staying away from STREAM for now. There are several other companies in the Atlanta area with similar rates that are worth looking into and have less issues. I wish I had researched reviews prior to signing. ”

“  The internet site has not worked for months in taking my payment. It says the balance due is zero which of course is not true. I have to pay by phone and that takes substantially more time. I have asked them to fix the internet site repeatedly. ”

“  How are they charging me for a week of no power during the winter storm that we had in February. I have gone back and forth with them to no help. Then he tells me that they this smart meter and if I wanted to I could go read it to see for myself. HOWWWWW! My meter box has a lock on it due to neighbors had before and so I never removed it. Ugh, I am so done with this company. I am changing them and please if anyone is reading this please choose someone else. ”
