    I have had a seamless transition from my last energy company. My first months bill was literally half price with almost the same usage! Daniel from Spring TX

    Selecting Service is so difficult
    As I am sure you know if you are reading this selecting a service is so difficult. Some want a down payment while others don't. This service was quick and easily and my billing has been great. The send me weekly updates on my usage. Also they did not charge me a down payment which was great. Rayjht from Houston TX

    Good price to begin with

    My first year was great. $.077, now at renewal they want $.125, so I will be changing providers. 62% increase is not acceptable.

    Collections notice

    Came home today to a collections notice from Amigo Energy. I have never had service through them. The collections department was closed, so I called Amigo directly. I was informed my bill was from Tara Enerfy from last April. I had changed to a new provider when my contract with Tara ended. I paid the next bill I received and thought I was done. In the past 14 months I have had no further communication with Tara Energy. So, imagine my surprise to learn I had an unpaid final bill balance that was being sent to third party collections effective 5/22/14. Of corse the notice was received after the cut off and after collections business hours. Had I received a bill, I would have paid it promptly, but they never billed me. The explanation from the customer service rep was that they recently changed billing systems and noticed many unpaid bills. So, I guess instead of refilling, they just sent it all to collections when they never billed to start with. I can't even get into the website to make payment, as the option is greyed out. Nice!!! Have scheduled payment through my bank, but it won't arrive u til a week from now. I'm going to be seriously pissed off if this hits my credit. Will be filing a complaint through the PUC.

    HOSTILE

    I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS COMPANY AT ALL. Multiple Power outages are not their problem apparently, and neither is human decency or polite conversation. Tried to learn about an issue with my bill but Customer Service REP Abiding (#19381) was rude, abrasive, and dismissive. Instead of hearing me out, he decided to get hostile and aggressive. I am under cancer maintenance therapy and I'm not supposed to get stressed but Abiding yelled and completely stressed me out. Something simple and routine became so stressful because of his poor handling.

    I guess needing Anger management and being useless are hirable qualities. I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS COMPANY AT ALL. ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO BE YELLED AT BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER AGAIN.
