Disconnect Fees and Problems (298 reviews)
Customer service - non existent
“ I have been a green mountain customer for over 4 years. What is the point in having a customer service department if nobody answers the phone or the email. I have sent numerous emails over the past year complaining about their payment system on the Web that looses payments. I even get an email confirming payment. Then several days later I receive a threatening email to pay or disconnect. So then I receive a bill with late charges and disconnection fees. I have attempted to call but I work long days and don't have time to wait more than an hour on hold. I have even tried first thing in the morning, but after 40 minutes I have to hang up because I have s job, just like their employees do. I have tried emailing, but nobody takes the time to respond. All I ever receive is an automated reply that they will respond within 48 hours. Well that's a joke because one year later they still have not responded. So I suck it up, pay the bill again and the late fees because the alternative is they will disconnect. This company is a joke and nothing more than a scam to get more money by simply ignoring you. I even sent them a snail mail letter about six months ago, no response. How does one dispute charges if you cannot reach anyone. Getting service was easy. They answer their phones. When I tried that ti get to someone, I was put on hold saying I had the wrong department. I waited over an hour listening to garbage. I will not renew when this contract is up in July. ”

Customer Service Sucks
“ I had an incident where I paid for my lights & they show a positive balance but Direct Energy (power to go) still disconnected my service. No one could tell me why this happened & after 4 hours, the electricity was still not turned on. Mind you I am 34 weeks pregnant & on bed rest. I spoke to a rude rep named Audrey who kept over talking me & telling me the same thing over and over that I was going to have to wait close to midnight before my lights could be turned on when they turned them off at 2:30. That's ridiculous!! I have been with them for several years and this is the second time this has happened and no one could tell me why BOTH TIMES. I will be taking my services elsewhere especially if they have employees who are rude to loyal customers. ”
