Worst company I've ever encountered in my life!
“
Switched to DE after I was promised that they're cheaper and better than my previous provider.
Well, they are not! Those scammers charge more than DOUBLE as ANY other provider.
Their customer service is ridiculous and unprofessional!
Any time I go to Walmart and see people signing up for this company I tell them how I was screwed over and they cancel on the spot. I will do this EVERY time and I wont stop to educate others about this Scammer-Company.
They should be shut down immediately. ”

SCAMMERS
“ So I have not had issues in the past with this promotion and signing up with this company. They usually get you when you are in Walmart. So yesterday I signed up at the Walmart with the associate and was told Id receive a Walmart gift card for $20. Well it never arrived in my email and called them and I was told that the associate never sent it and that the customer service representative I spoke with said he couldnt issue me one that I would have to return to the Walmart and hope that the associate was there. Well I returned today and nope they were not so the whole promotion was a scam to get me to sign up. I will contacting them to remove them from my electric and I also have them with my gas. I have been a customer for years and now because they want to scam me they will lose me as a customer. I do not recommend anyone use this company because they will lie and say anything to sign u up.. ”

Scammers: class action suit needed asap
“ This company is a scammer they help put people into debt raising their bill twice higher than your actual gas/electric bill. They double charge you and reads as a second charge on your bill statement at the bottom. There needs to be a class action lawsuit against this company and lots of people need to be warmed to beware and stand far clear away from them and dont fall for the antics of them trying to give you a free gift card or $100 its not forth debt or stress ”

NRG SCAMS YOU!
“ When the NRG guy pitched his sale to us, he talked about locking in the best energy rate and claiming theirs was the lowest. He got us locked in for 12 months, then we noticed our energy bill climbing. After the promo rate (which wasn't actually the lowest as he'd claimed), our bill started getting higher each month. Before NRG, our highest monthly bill didn't go over 150. This month, in spite of warmer weather (less heat and space heater use) and no ac's hooked up yet for summer, we were shocked with a $320 bill. Calling toledo Edison, they said NRG is charging us 13.5c/kwh, while their standard rate right now is 7.5c/kwh!! Without NRG we would be paying $113. That's $207 that NRG is overcharging just in 1 month! I'm trying to support a family of 6 here, and they don't care who you are if they can con you out of money. Boycott NRG. We cancelled them immediately after receiving this bill and talking to the customer support at toledo Edison. ”
