“  Xoom energy has been ripping me off of my senior discount for a year. They told me my discount was included in my bill. It was not, because I called Atlanta gas light, they told me what my true bill should be. They lied to me as a senior customer! Dont trust them! Ill never choose them as my gas provider again! ”

“  I was billed for 14 days of gas service because of my transfer date. But was charged a full month of Atlantic Gas Light Company service. I have been on hold for 28 minutes waiting for a supervisor because the representative she that was the way it was. I finally hung up after waiting 30 minutes. Shouldn't have foreign customer service agents! ”

“  I had been a loyal Scana customer for a while on autopay. As the contract renewal approached I received a notice 3 months before expiration reminding me it was coming. That was the last bill I got by mail before expiration. I was NOT signed up for paperless for this exact reason. Autopay was taking care of the payments during the busy Christmas season. I didnt realize my fixed rate had automatically switched to their highest variable rate until I saw the ransom price they had charged my account! Over a %200 increase! I immediately called customer service and ask for some help with this ridiculous bill to no avail. She did offer me a renewal contract with a higher price than I could get from other providers. She also reminded me that since it was the second week of the month in January , Scana would be able to bill me another ransom bill. My January bill was $545 dollars vs about $180. Do not do business with these people. The automatic renewal scam is used by many industries now to take advantage of busy consumers. All I can do is change companies and file a complaint with the public service commission about this practice. ”

“  horrible experience. Sent payment thru bill pay, XOOM claimed they did not receive payment. We provided proof from the bank via copy of check showing their bank/name. Weeks later they sent a disconnect notice, we called again provided copy of checks, they said thats not good enough, we need copy of bank statement...we blacked out info they did not need sent in, weeks later after many calls still not resolved, finally 2.5 months in we received a notice in the mail the account was finally credited, but demanding $30 in late fees!!! Still fighting this with them. DO NOT USE THESE FRAUDS ”

“  When I called yesterday and was needing to get my account number and couldn't get any assistance.
I was really upset and asked to speak with a supervisor. Once I spoke with a supervisor I was really not feeling very valued as a new customer. And I was very clear that my information was entered incorrectly and I was made to feel like I was the one that gave the information incorrectly and I was told by the supervisor that If they were going to listen to the phone call and call me right back of which that supervisor did not do. 3 and a 1/2 hours later. After not hearing from that seat back again so that I could obtain my account number which I should have not had to call back. I know that it didn't take over 3 hours to listen to that. Initial account set up to get what needed to be Obtain from that conversation when setting up the account. My social security number because you ran my credit report. I'm being told that I gave my wrong social security number. When I know that I didn't. I don't like being told that I did something wrong when somebody clearly entered the wrong information because they couldn't obtain. Correctly what I said secondelete.I don't know how you're emailing me but then tell me you don't have my email address. The supervisor clearly had an attitude and then wondered why I had an attitude with her after her attitude. After not hearing from that supervisor after assuring me.She was going to call back and not hearing from her after 3 hours.I then spoke with Vanetta who was more than helpful and quite accommodating. Vanetta was able to give me my account number so that I can go ahead and set app my account.Which it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to be able to help assist a new customer with setting app an account by getting them.Their account number this was beyond ridiculous. In addition, the first so-called supervisor then called me back with another attitude which gave me another attitude back with her. I would like a regional manager to call me back. Because I don't like this entire process and how it went down. And if this is how it's got to be treated as a new owner, you'll have a severe problem with your entire organization. ”

“  I wasted a lot of time signing up for service today, before I decided to cancel and hopefully never encounter this company again. I gave them info for a credit check. I have been at the same address for 24 years, and have a long term exceptional credit rating of 830-845, with no late payments EVER with anyone, including utilities. I was told that my credit had been reviewed and they needed a security deposit of $150. I asked for a manual review, because I thought surely this must be a mistake. I was still declined and they asked me to send proof of payment with my current provider for 3 months. I sent 6 months and quickly got an email that stated "after review", I needed to pay a security deposit of $150. Such a scam. No other gas provider in GA behaves this way with customers transfering in good standing from another gas provider. Steer clear. ”

“  I tried to switch from my current provider to XOOM Energy to save some extra money on my gas bills. The sign up process was lengthy and required a $150 deposit. They said you could waive the deposit with proof of payment of last 3 utility bills. After sending my payment history (perfect) with my current provider, this proof was declined and I still had to pay the deposit. After calling to customer service, they could not explain what was wrong with my proof of payment history and said they could not do anything further. I have a near perfect credit score and pay all my bills. It may sound trivial but there is no reason they should have me put up a deposit. It just showed me what I was getting into with XOOM for the next 12 months... not worth the savings to deal with these people. I'm going back to my current provider and happy to pay more. ”

“  This company is a joke. Lied about a gift card for signing up. Rates changed sporadically. The customer care doesn't care. So I am going back to scana which I never had a problem with. ”

“  I manage my elderly Aunt's finances and upon paying her bills, I realized how costly her gas bills were with GNG. She has had long-term dimentia and did not realize she had to update her plan to continue with gas savings. Consequently, I decided to switch her to another competitor since they has a slightly better rate and that GNG made good profit from years of service.

Consequently, my transfer failed several times and upon investigation I was told by competitor that there was some discrepancy with the acct info between GNG and the main gas company, Atlanta Gas light. Apparently, the name was incorrect on the acct and that GNG explained it could not be changed for various reasons.
For 3 months, I would call and get a different excuse to why the name change could not be done because we could only open another acct to make the correction. They would not allow us to transfer with just making a simple change.
After getting the run around, I attempted to call Atlanta Gas light multiple times to tell them what was happening. A few reps told me to call my provider directly to work this out because they do not work with customers directly. However, one rep was nice enough to investigate this and made the change. I am totally grateful to her. Otherwise, we would have been stuck with GNG again which enraged me after knowing that they were making excuses for preventing us from switching services.

They made the error because only they could communicate with Atlanta Gas Light and refused any attempt to correct it. I am saddened that they would go through such lengths for something so trivial. I am convinced that this was done purposefully as I spoke to supervisors who were feeding me info that was later debunked by Atlanta Gas light. They told me that they could not correct the acct profile however, I was able to call Atlanta Gas light and get the issue corrected.

Shame on GNG for these unfair competition practices. I would never come back to GNG even if they have the cheapest therm rate in GA! GNG, that was extremely stupid on your part as you lost a customer for life. THIS IS NOT A FAKE REVIEW AND IS VERY MUCH LIGITIMATE! Unbelievable to me that you are currently the highest rated gas company and I wanted to submit this review to bring light to this unfair practice. I am sure all the gas companies practice this shady practice, but this needs to be brought to light and addressed. Thanks you for reading. ”
