Disconnect Reviews

“  Cheap fixed rate sounds good. Until you realize they run some wierd 20 day bill cycle so your bill is due a completely different time each month. Also sometimes it takes them 10 days to apply a payment and they will send you a disconnection notice and charge you a late fee. My last 2 bills have had 14 days and 17 days respectively from their mail date (printed on the invoice) and the due date. So basically I'm getting 2 bills a month from these idiots. If you do a budget like I do this company is a huge frustration. Also if you call them they say it's not their fault and blame their computer. Terrible company. ”

“  I pay all my bills at the same time. I had thought I paid the electric bill. I didn't get a second notice or anything but I got my power turned off. I have a smart meter so it's done quickly. I electronically sent payment. I was on the phone with them to keep asking when they could give the okay to the energy provider to turn service back on. Kept saying it would take a couple hours. Next day, I still did not have power. I got a proof of payment from my bank to see when they received the funds. They received my money the same day it was disconnected. I called customer service and then they said it would take 5 to 7 days to proccess the payment. I couldn't understand since it was in their hands electronically. Since they had my payment, why could they not turn my power on in this modern age of information technology?Well they said they understood 5 to 7 days is a long time to go without power and said next time pay by phone instead of electronically. I said there will not be a next time and I jumped ship. I called TXU and got power less than two hours. Month later and just now they are hitting me up with an early cancellation charge of 250. I talked to a manager and he said I broke the contract for not paying for consumed service. I told him I was paid up in full and had proof and they broke the contract by not providing service. I'm going to see if I can fight them on the charge once I get the contract reviewed by the lawer. ”
