Be Careful - Predatory Customer Service
“
I shop for rates a lot. My contract was running down and they offered me rates HIGHER than the default rate. When i told them i would rather cancel their service and return to the default rate (saving 30%) they told me "don't do that, PPL is just going to raise that rate in june and you'll be sorry". They also pointed out if i did NOT accept the 30% higher rate, I would go into a true variable rate and "My bill be very high and i don't want that"
It took 10 seconds to get a customer service rep. When i stated "OK I would like to cancel and get the PPL default rate" - i was put into a 15 minute hold queue and forced to leave a message.
Everything about this interaction was meant to frustrate me and bully me into paying them a higher rate.
I called PPL - outside of the 35 min hold time they were amazing. Once i confirmed I gave them permission - they cancelled the supplier for me and put me back on the default rate. In addition they ALSO encouraged me "Please keep shopping for better rates, we likely don't offer the best".
And of course I will be shopping again - but never again with APG.

Don't Ever Choose Hudson Energy
“ I went through an energy broker and signed up for a 27 month contract. Once the contract ended, I chose a new supplier through the same energy broker. Now three years later, I get a letter from a collection agency stating that i still owed them money. The bills were always paid though our local electric company so there is no way that we could not have paid through the end of the contract. Even if there was still money due, which there was not, we never received any letters or correspondence before the account was submitted to a collection agency. ”
