SoCalGas

Not only their phone personnel was rude but even the person who came out to diagnose the gas leak was extremely rude. I surmise they act this way because there are no other gas companies that we can turn to. This is a monopoly and we have to deal with their uncaring service.

They need to train the contact center reps better. Customers are calling to resolve an issue and that should be your focus. She kept trying to tell me what the rules were and what the field reps are NOT required to do. Her field rep pulled out my washer dryer to turn off the valve and so now they have to pull it out again to turn it on. She says they are not required to do so and I should have someone else come in and turn it on. In speaking to the field reps, in order for them to do their jobs, they have to do what the contact center says they are not required to do. Regardless, none of that resolved my issue and she was so rude and demeaning.

SoCal gas took upon themselves to send us and many of our neighbors notices declaring our gas usage is in the order of 70 to 95% more than similar homes. The bill is now quadrupled from our average $70 a month to $249. Our gas use has not changed, our gas heater is only used overnight just as always. This is a blatant abuse of their monopoly system. Class action suit should be filed against the company.

Customer service is no help at all!!! They could care less about their customers! The person I spoke to was rude and just there for a paycheck!!! My service was disconnected With no notice even though I had a payment extension, So per customer service since I made the extension through their automated service they wouldn't honor it.

I don’t like to complain but I called SoCalGas to set up service. After waiting on hold for 12 minutes I was connected to set up service and the lady “Ms **” was so rude an not helpful. She had an attitude and hung up on me. I was not happy with her customer service skills.

I spoke with two customer service reps at SoCalGas and received different information, was basically lied to, and spoke to a woman who was so rude that she was basically calling me name on the phone. I set up my account online and then called the company with a few questions. I was told that if I set up auto-payments then the security deposit would be waived. SoCalGas does NOT do this, according to their website or the second customer service rep.

Every since we've opted out of the "Advanced Meters", we've had problems with the field techs. They sometimes come to our gate and just look around to see if anyone's looking at them and then write something on a piece of paper and leave. They don't bother to come in and actually read the meter and by doing so it causes our bill to be incorrectly billed. Some of the field techs that I've confronted play dumb and make up stories on why they don't have the key for the lock. The locks that we use on the meter reading days were issued to us by SoCalGas and the keys are accessible to every field tech.

This company, SoCalGas, was quick to cut our gas off. The balance of the bill wasn't high only about $70. How the tech got into our building I don't know, they came in asking us for money please finally demanding that we give them the balance. I said if we had it we would already pay it off. Then they cut the gas off. We were able to pay the bill a week later, we also paid for service to be cut back on. It's been over a month and we have no gas, unable to cook. We've been eating out everyday since.

To the gas company. Employee came to my house. I don't know exactly what time, no one was home and he jump a lock gate to shut the gas off. I think this is very scary. I call the office. I paid $115.00 and I ask if it was fine to jump the close gate, they, "Yes because we need to reach our equipment". I told him, "Now I understand why we getting robbed with impersonates from your company." He also ask me to leave my key somewhere so they can get in to turn the service back on.

Apparently the company has a way to track their inspectors so they do not wait for a resident for longer than 5 minutes but they have no way of notifying customers that a technician is 10 minutes away. We have been without gas for 13 days because of a technicality in setting up our account (my husband did not go down to the office with two forms of ID so they turned off our gas). Today I missed the tech by 5 minutes because I was dropping kids at camp and they cannot send him back. In NY they cannot legally turn your gas off. If there was ANY alternative company I would take it. Welcome to California. If it was an option I would give no stars. Zero.
