Constellation - Company Information

“  Constellation Energy disconnected my service without properly notifying me. When you call Customer Service, they will verify that they have the right phone number for you three times, but no one will take 1 minute to actually use it to call you, even if you owe them money. It just happens. No letter, no email, no phone call. Nothing. It's easier for them to just let your service get disconnected. Then, of course, you'll contact them to pay your bill. It's easier for them that way. They don't have to lift a finger. Very poor treatment. ”

“  Think AEP has a lower rate with the same terms ”

“  The therm price is lower but additional fees add it right back up. ”

“  They failed to hook up on the date they agreed to . ”

“  I enroll our home, also two other accounts (older ladies, one is 93 and the other is 100) - in the application process, there is a place to include an "Authorized Representative" and I properly entered my name as an authorized representative - however, when calling customer service, I am NOT included as an authorized user on any of them - not possible to put the older ladies on the phone to authorize - including such toption is a good idea, but disregarding the "authorized user" is unforgiveable ”

“  for opening a new service myself and the individual who referred me were supposed to get $50 gift cards. we have yet to receive ”

“  Still boggles my mind that I can use zero therms and still be charged $36.00 ”

“  we were very happy with the price. very affordable and good service. but then it came time for renewal and I missed my time. the price jumped and now I have a ridiculous bill that I cant pay. I have been very unsuccessful at changing the plan to a lower rate. the website is useless for choosing a new plan. ”

“  Two months and waiting. Still receiving bills from SCANA at a higher therm rate. No communication from Constellation (but at least not receiving two bills). ”

“  Since our present electric company's rates have jumped dramatically we decided to try another company. I can not
share Constellation's business procedures; we Just became Consellation consumers - however, I will say that the information that was available for us to 'compare' their company w/ the others was extremely helpful. The procedure was a snap to sign on. I only hope that the rest of our contracted time will be as 'comfortable'. ”

“  I changed from Scana to Constellation because they were recommended to me. After ordering the change online on their website, I was continuing to receive bills from Scana. Constellation did not communicate with me to let me know what the status of my account was, or whether they had cancelled Scana's service. Three months later, I called them before I paid my Scana bill, and they confirmed it was being processed. That seems like a long time to "process" and order, and with no communication, a bit concerning. I now have received my final bill from Scana and my first bill from Constellation. I hope their service is better than their lack of communication. ”

“  I chose StarTex Power from several providers in the area. Their rates seem competitive and my service has been great. However, after my initial 6 month contract expired, StarTex never bothered to notify me or ask me to renew. They simply let my contract expire, started charging me a higher, non-contract rate. It's a shady practice and I feel like they've risked losing me as a customer for the $25 they swindled from me. As soon as I renewed, my rate dropped again but clearly I'll need to remember to renew early to avoid their expiration scam. ”

“  I've been a Startex customer for several years now, Last year I willing signed up for another 12 months. I knew it wasn't the lowest rate on the market but all my hassle free experience with them I felt a couple of cents for less hassle was worth it. At least much better than a former company known by me as Second to last Choice (First Choice) but... Since being bought out by Constellation it seems this luxury will cost me more. or will it? Startex give me a reason why I should stay? Last year your company allowed a digit drop. This year I waited to see this offer and....nothing, well except much higher prices. I will be calling to see if you can offer something to keep a customer. If not I guess you will leave me no choice but to jump the fence and swim with the sharks again. Wish me luck.I got my lube and a speedo just in case. ”

“  Have not had major issues, prices were ok but made mistake of accepting 3 year plan. Bad timing on my part I guess since rate at time I initiated plan was 13.6/kwh. Nothing I could with a $300+ cancellation fee once rates dropped significantly. Not worth cancelling and changing. Will look at other companies to try to improve rate for a while and make up some of what I have lost with this higher rate I got stuck with. Not afraid to switch and may even consider staying if rate is reasonalbe on month to month but it doesn't look like they are beating others or even close even on 3 or 6 month plans Startex appears too high compared to others. Customer service ok and have not had problems on a few occasions when late over the last 2 years. ”

“  They added a Late Fee on my April bill even though I've had automatic payment from the beginning. I called three times, and each time I called, the customer service rep said it would be credited on my next bill, but it took until July before I finally received the credit. They advertise they're top in Customer Service. I don't know what they base that on. ”

“  Good price, good service. BUT - can't seem to make the website work consistently. Every couple of months, it suddenly doesn't recognize me as a registered account holder. Wait on hold, cust svc can't figure out why. Gotta do registration procedure all over again. Works a couple of times, then ditto. NOW had to go out of town over holiday, can't log in, getting recorded msgs bill is due, no one in office because of holiday.

Can't handle the aggravation for the few dollars saves us. ”

“  I signed up in early August. No welcome pack, no email. Finally I reached out and they said that the account wouldnt be switched until November 1st because the account number was keyed in wrong. In the meantime I am now without a fixed rate plan and will be paying for their mistake. ”

“  The order process was easy and fast. There is a good reporting/marketing promoting options. I cannot see what I pay per energy usage on the invoice, just the monthly payment. I get an error code when I use the View My Bill link. I get the same error code when I login via your home page. The error message states that I have no access to the data. I reported the problem twice. I received an answer on the first report which states Im successfully registered now. But I still dont have access to the data. ”

“  What I literally use a month runs anywhere from $5 to $17 a month. BUT they charge/bill me anywhere from $52 to $73 a month ”

“  I signed up because of the great rate and they promised to return my $150 deposit in six months. Well they didn't. My card was compromised and i changed my card after my due date one month out of six months and they had no exceptions, no empathy. Good luck with that. So i immediately switched to a provider who wasn't charging a deposit. ”
