Stream Energy Complaint - Why I Am Dropping Stream Energy - Natural Gas Service
Natural Gas Service - Complaint
The letter I wrote to Stream.
When I first got my notification that my contract would be expiring, I went online to re-enroll. I noticed a. 05/therm discrepancy between what my paperwork stated as the rate and what the website stated as the rate. I called customer service to get clarification and was on hold for 40 minutes. I put the phone on speaker and continued to work but come on – 40 minutes? Listening to a recorded voice telling me how important customers are? Is the intent to frustrate customers to the point where they hang up and give up? When a human finally came on the phone, the man could barely speak English and indicated that the prices had gone up since the letter was mailed and that the lower rate in my mailer couldn’t be honored – I’d be renewed at the higher rate. I sent an email requesting further clarification and heard nothing back – nothing, nada, zip.
Another notification came in the mail yesterday, advertising the higher rate. Your website advertises the lower rate. I am not even going to elevate my blood pressure by dealing with your “customer service”. You have lost a customer, one who intends to share my Stream “experience” with whoever will listen. Apparently my experience is not unique – a simple google search brings up hundreds of hits with people complaining about the God-awful customer service they experienced with Stream.
“Stream Energy appreciates my business!”
Yeah, right.
Good riddance.

Their lack of customer service indicates they have all the business they need. Glad you dropped them.

I am dropping them tomorrow a lot of bogus charges on my bill.
