Ambit Energy

If you have any other options please do not choose this company. I have not been using them for over four months now and just received a Major Derogatory on my credit for a payment that they did not display or notify me about. I contacted the credit bureau and they said it was for a cancellation fee that I paid in my final payment to them back in January 2022.

Do not give them your business!! They’re scammers. I tried to set up my account with them a year and a half ago, they got a ton of info wrong, and overcharged me for time I did NOT live in the apartment. I called to cancel my service today after trying before and being disconnected. Every time I call, they say a different name is attached to my account.

The Ambit site has had some major glitches in the last couple of months. When I went to pay my bill by using my saved bank account, the page froze as if the payment didn't go through successfully. I went through the payment process again this time typing in my card. It charged me twice so I called the next day when it appeared in account activity. They said they could only send me a check in 7-14 days or I could just let it roll over. As I had a full month before my next payment, I declined this offer to let it roll over. I know that refund to my card was 100% an option for any major business and sending a check or "pre-paid card" isn't ethical business practices.

Signed up for auto pay, never worked before so it’s my fault for not learning my lesson about how incompetent this entire company is. I came home from work at 4 power turned off while clothes were in wash, no email, no letter in the mail. I call them and pay my bill by 6 pm, they said power would be back in 2 to 4 hours. It’s now 3 am, I’m freezing and my clothes for work tomorrow are locked in the washer. I looked around and this is all not normal behavior for a power company and I feel like an idiot for even being with them, oops. Stay away from these guys at all costs. Customer service is about as bad as you’d expect, no one I’ve talked to from Ambit knows anything but their script. They are also all foreign and kind of hard to understand. The whole situation is terrible and I already contacted a new power provider, I am new to this and young but I am glad I went through it now I guess.

I am a Ambit energy user and had the worst customer experience with getting my electricity turned off. Please do not use them because they overcharge and they will not cut off the electricity after your contract ends.

We were talked into Ambit by a friend. We were guaranteed a 3% savings, however, a year into it we were paying more than our local electric supplier. When we called, they said we would need to stay with Ambit until the end of our term and they would then send a check for the difference. We reluctantly stayed. We received a letter telling us to call them ten days before our term ended to pick a plan. We called to tell them we weren't going to renew and she said they would send a check. After not receiving a check in eight months, we called and they are now saying it was canceled four days before our term ended. They played with the dates so we wouldn't be entitled to the check. When we told them we didn't want to renew our plan, we thought it would ride out to the end. However, they played with the dates so they didn't have to honor their contract.

There are hidden fees included and the customer service can't provide you with any legal document for the extra charge, I'd scheduled 8/30/2021 to stop my service forever. Copied this from my bill> Current miscellaneous adjustments: $ 62.47. Please don't let this company scams you too.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Horrendous customer service. I've been trying to be patient but I've been trying to correct an issue since July 1, and it is August 18. They continuously give you the run-around which diminishes patience after 2 months. I was supposed to move into an apartment but my complex moved me to a different unit. So that same day, I called and asked if I could move my service to the new unit. They happily said yes and that no additional fees would apply. But then, I received voicemails from them saying I owed fees. One of their managers contacted me and said to disregard those notices because I should not be charged that and an "investigation" would be opened.

I have been with Ambit for years on and off when they are available in my area. At the end of my last contract I didn’t renew because I was looking to move and didn’t know what area. My house is only 1,200 sqft and I do not keep it down in the 60’s. My bills have been outrageous, far more than I have ever paid in my life. I’m using 1000-1200 kWh and my last 2 bills have been over $200 a month. I enrolled with another provider and Ambit called me asking what they could do to keep me! I laughed and said nothing and explained the reason, the rep said if I ever changed my mind give them a call! Well, I’ll tell you NOT a chance in HELL. My last bill was almost $300! Are you out of your fricken mind! Stay clear of this company!

Updated on 03/22/2022: First off Ambit energy misled me about how much i would be paying. Then when I called and cancelled they said it was effective within 1-2 billing cycles. 2 cycles went by....still not cancelled. I called them and cancelled again.. 2 months later I get a bill for double the price /kw hr. of previous bill still with Ambit. I have concluded that this is most likely a type of scheme they have To string customers along because there is apparently nothing I can do about it except get a lawyer involved. Being a business owner myself, it burns me up when I see a company operating in a dishonest way.
