North American Power Reviews (%countItem)

Actually thought I put a review on here the other day obviously I did not because I do not see it. For anyone that's reading this if you look at most of the complaints it's all because they were out of contract and the prices go up anyone knows that you need to do your due diligence mark down on the calendar whatever you have to do to call the company when your contract is up so you can get the best rate. you can't expect them to call you to say O our rates are going up we know you don't wanna pay more that's just not happening. I called and my rate even if I sign a contract will be higher than a different supplier so unfortunately I have to switch. I have been with NAP for over 10 years.

Must sign a contract for 6 months for a fixed rate. Must call every six months to renew contract. If you do just call, you will call on a month to month and pay 3 times the normal electric rate.

Somehow I must have signed up with this company as my supplier and forgot until my bill was out of control. This company had a supplier rate of 16.990c/KWh vs the standard rate of 7.375 c/KWh . I guess it is my fault for not paying attention but beware of this.

I do not recall enrolling with North American Power and Gas as our supplier. Regardless of that, I looked at the fine print on our bill after having received astronomically high utility bills for years now to discover that our monthly supplier rate was 16.990 kWh. When I contacted customer service, the representatives were only interested in selling me a new plan-they were rude, refused to compensate and were only interested in keeping my business. I expect to be refunded a portion of our supplier rate so it compares to average rates.

Ms.,

Thank you for your complaint - we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. A North American Power and Gas customer service agent has attempted to call you on two separate occasions to attempt resolving this issue amicably. We understand your frustration and want to make sure we can provide enough information and remediation to smooth everything over. Please call NAPG's customer service at your earliest convenience.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

North American Power and Gas

No notification of contracts ending. They claim they send a letter one time. They do not send any other information, only to get you at full price at the end if the contract. I was told they would give me a courtesy reimbursement, as I have been with this company for 5 years. The customer service rep send she would mail a check or credit the account.Then she asked me to renew my account. I mentioned that their rates are higher than the others I looked at, and she said well now you don't get the courtesy credit unless you renew with us. It is an absurd way to do business! I mentioned that she still needs to refund they money she said she would as a courtesy. She refused.

North American Power Response • Aug 26, 2020

We understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback on our business practices. I have reviewed your file and it appears as though we have complied with all relevant regulations and requirements for your account. Based on my review, it appears as though we have sent you numerous renewal letters and confirmations over the years. As you said in your complaint, it is our policy to offer rate forgiveness (i.e., a courtesy credit) if you renew your account with us. That being said, a call center agent will be reaching out to you to discuss potentially mitigating the costs that you incurred. We hope that our offer satisfies your concerns.

Thank you for your time and energy regarding this matter.

North American Power and Gas, LLC

On my January 2020 PPL bill I noticed that I was paying North American Power $0.14 per KWH while the PPL price was $0.08!

What a rip off company! Our bill was tripled in a year!!!!

Very bad business of signing people up for a contracted price and then doubling (or more) the price when contract term expires. it very hard to keep track of contract expiration date and thus very easy for them to double up the charges and then very slow to cancel /change power supplier after you notice the double utility bill. very bad business ! I do NOT recommend using them, and I will personally never use them again EVER ! BAD business practice !

On ***, I agreed to a fixed rate for my electric power from The North American Power Company in the amount of $5.29/kWh for a term of 12 months. On my bill on *** 3 months after my term expired, the charge for my electric power increased to $8.99/kWh. The very next month, ***, my electric power charge increased again to a ridiculous $12.49/kWh. This is more than double the original amount. Both of these increases came without a warning phone call or letter.

North American Power Response • Feb 11, 2020

It is my understanding that you have worked out a resolution to your complaint with North American Power and Gas, LLC's customer service department. Thank you for taking the time to relay your concerns to NAPG. Please let us know if the matter has not been resolved and I am mistaken.

Thanks again,

Complaint regarding unauthorized change to account. Services for residential electric with North American Power. Upon contract ending, they claim they mailed a single letter, standard mail to our home to extend the contract or to move to variable rates for electric. The letter was not received. Instead of sending another letter certified, calling or attempting to reach us, they changed our contract to variable rates and did not notify us for 8 months. It was only when our rate doubled and we received a $1000+ bill did we call to find out why that we were notified about changes to our contract.

North American Power Response • Jan 16, 2020

originally signed up with North American Power and Gas, LLC ("NAP") via internet on April 2, 2018 for a 12-month fixed rate contract. Per the terms of the contract (and according to regulatory obligations in the state of ***) , *** received a renewal letter on March 15, 2019. *** did not respond to NAP's renewal letter and, in accordance with the contract, transitioned to a variable rate on May 1, 2019.

*** reached out to NAP on January 7, 2020 regarding his transition to variable rate. At this time, *** received a rate forgiveness refund and entered into a new 12-month contract with NAP. It is my understanding that customer care has resolved this issue with *** and no further action is warranted at this time.

Sincerely,

North American Power and Gas, LLC

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

I am questioning the business pratices of this company. We live in a digital age with automated messages that can easily be set up. In May, when I received a letter in the mail, I did not receive it or at least aware that it was there. Im sure it got caught in more "junk" email and was thrown out. Since I signed up online and they have my email address, why was there not an email sent the day of my last day at the fixed rate? Easily can be set up and actually cheaper than regular mail and more environment friendly. At a minumum, after no response after 1 month, why does an email not go out at that time and every month after, until I respond, as a proper customer service gesture? My true feelings are they know all of this and will not do this because they know they will make more money when people do not renew after it moves to variable, or even when they do renew at another fixed rate. They are baiting people knowing some people will ignore regular mail and they can get a few "suckers" to forget to reply back to them until they finally get a ridiculous electric bill (of course in winter months) and the customer realizes what happened. I paid over $1000 in charges that could have been avoided with proper customer service. Yes, ultimately this is on me and a lesson learned for sure. But I will NEVER come back to this company again and steer people away when they ask for opinions. The only AND ONLY reason I renewed is they were the only company where I could at least get a little bit back from my losses by signing back up. Trust me, I have it marked on my calendar next year to ensure I call up and not wait for a wasteful letter in the mail. I will be going with another provider at that time. Saying that getting $200 back (only if I sign back up) is good customer service is laughable. They again knew I would sign back up if I wanted any chance of getting money back. Its all part of their plan. They still made over $800 on just me over the past 7 months that they would not have had if I had replied to their wasteful letter in the mail.

Sincerely

North American Power Response • Feb 04, 2020

I understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback. North American Power and Gas, LLC attempts to comply with all relevant regulations in order to provide proper renewal notices to its customers. *** Code Section *** provides that renewal notices "shall be made by separate mailing (envelope or postcard), the front cover of which shall state: "Important notice regarding your electric service contract." In the future, NAPG will consider offering additional renewal notices in order to ensure our customers receive sufficient notice and do not transition to a variable rate.

Thank you for your feedback. NAPG is always looking for ways to improve its relationships with its customers and appreciates the opportunity to hear about areas in which it can improve.

North American power claims that I entered into an agreement/contract and that I will be charged an early termination fee if I cancel before 2021. They have no way to access my account online and if you click the link "my account" on their website it tells you to call a toll free number. It took me several tries to get someone on the phone. When I finally did they admitted there is no way to check your account and see this contract or to view how many months are left. You must call and talk to someone. They state that the contract was verbal. It appears the entire business model is to attract new customers and not to service current customers. I asked for a copy of the contract and they could not provide one.

North American Power Response • Dec 04, 2019

We have attempted to reach out to you on a few different occasions, leaving several voicemails on your phone. In order to resolve this issue, we have decided to waive any ETF associated with the early termination of your account with North American Power and Gas, LLC.

Please feel free to reach back out via telephone if you have any questions or concerns.

After disputing a year's worth of overcharges with North American Power for weeks, I was issued a partial refund. I was told if I was not happy with the partial refund to contact a resolution Manager, Moses, at . I was contacted back by a different representative and told I would receive my refund check within 45 days. It has now been over 65 days and I do not have my refund. I also have left numerous messages for Moses on the number above and have not heard back.

North American Power Response • Sep 06, 2019

I apologize for the delay in sending you the agreed upon amount - there was a problem processing the payment and it slipped through the cracks. We have begun processing the check at this time and will get it to you as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact Walter B at NAP's customer care (***) with any questions or concerns.

I have an email with my confirmation number and customer contract number for energy rates at 7.29 cents pr kwh starting effective August 6, 2018. North American Power did not contact me by phone, email or US mail to deny or reject this new contract. However, I have been mischarged and overbilled at various rates much above 7.29 since August 6, 2018. I reached out to North American Power and spent two hours on the phone and was locked into a new contract, which I agreed to, but I was not refunded the difference in their billing. I am owed a refund of $1,116.52.

North American Power Response • Jun 26, 2019

North American Power and Gas, LLC ("NAPG") has reviewed your complaint and apologizes for your frustration. Based on our review, it appears as though you attempted to enroll as a new customer in July of 2018. On July 24, 2018, you called into NAPG and requested a rate that was reserved for new enrollments, despite having an existing account with NAPG. At this time, NAPG informed you that we could not enroll you on that rate, but offered various other rates for you. You declined NAPG's offer at that time.

After having your request explicitly rejected, it appears as though you went online and enrolled as a new customer in order to acquire the new customer rate. Despite appearing to have been enrolled, your enrollment was rejected because, as you were previously warned over the telephone, you did not qualify for that rate because you were not a new customer. Because you did not renew your contract, and because your attempts to circumvent the proper enrollment process, you transitioned to a variable rate in accordance with your initial contract.

On June 12, 2019, you called into NAPG to discuss your transition to a variable rate. NAPG reviewed your file and you ultimately agreed to a new fixed-rate contract, which you reference in this Revdex.com complaint. Additionally, NAPG re-rated two months of service as a courtesy for your misunderstanding. Based on your acceptance, NAPG believed that this matter was resolved.

Despite the foregoing, NAPG is willing to work with you on further relief. Please call Walter B at in order to discuss a resolution of this matter.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

I signed up for North American Power ("NA Power") in May 2017. I was fully aware that I was participating in a promotional period for a lower rate on my electricity distribution charges. However, I was expected to be notified when my promotional period would end. I called NA Power on 2/18/2019 and they told me that they had sent me a few mails in late 2017 and early 2018 (I had received none). Admittedly, I was busy in 2018, but would have noticed any paper mail or emails from NA Power saying that my promotional period had ended. Furthermore, the representatives on the phone were extremely rude and not willing to take any accountability for the exorbitant charges to my electricity bill.

I have been a customer with NAP for 10-15 years. I tried to access online info for my account recently and I could not. I was directed to call them. on the phone I was told the company will no longer allow me access to my info because the company does'nt want to do business in my area any more. I asked to speak with someone who could answer this question a little more clearly, but was told they were all busy. the advertising on there website says in bold letters "24/7 online account access to view current plans and new offers". this is not right! I now have no idea what the status of my account is without having to call. I want to leave this company but there is a $50 penalty if I leave early. HELP me get out, is all I want!!

North American Power & Gas without my consent, authorization or having any contact with me at all, started appearing on my bill charging me double for gas and electric then what I should have been paying. I've contacted them multiple times. Not only do they not have my name or email, they don't have a number to the persons name on my account. They have no idea how they got my address or number. I 100 percent did not give them any of that information. Infact, I've never had any contact with the company at all.

North American Power Response • Mar 21, 2019

North American Power and Gas contacted *** and resolved this misunderstanding amicably. There was some confusion concerning someone at ***'s address agreeing to enter a contract with North American Power and Gas. After receiving ***'s complaint and reviewing the relevant materials, North American Power and Gas determined the best course of action was to refund *** for the electricity and gas consumed. ***'s name on the accounts was updated and he accepted North American Power's offer. This matter has been resolved and the customer appears to be satisfied with North American Power's response.

North American Power was selected in March 2018 with an electric supply rate of .0519 for a period of 12 months. The agency contends that the arrangement was for six months. In November 2018 they increased the rate to .1399 effectively tripling the cost of our electric bill during the hardest months of the year. With no recourse to change the rate we had to switch to another carrier effective Jan. After finally reaching NAP (bc they do not have hours after work in which to contact them or on weekends), NAP refused to issue a refund for the difference in fee stating they had "sent me a letter in the mail," which I did not receive -notifying me that my rates were tripling. After a lengthy discussion with the company customer service department their position was that they would do nothing to remedy tripling the cost of our electric bc they mailed a letter. They refused to address the significant increase of 169% month over month.

Further, when I requested the name of the CEO - they refused and provide me the name of anyone with any authority and said they "didn't know their name" only to provide the name of a customer service manager who had no more authority for customer good will than they did. This is unacceptable customer service in today's climate and their rate increase of 167% is a material change to an individuals' budget. They are crooks with this move!

North American Power Response • Jan 29, 2019

The customer contacted NAPG 1/23/19 due to high rate. NAPG has agreed to issue a refund for the difference billed. A voicemail has been left to confirm the customers' mailing address. The customer will need to contact customer service to confirm mailing address for the release of the refund check.

North American power offered me a 6 month contract for electric @ 7.79c/kWh ending in June 2018: they raised the price to 8.69c/kWh until November 2018. In September I called to switch back to *** - rate was 8.53c/kWh. They offered a new contract which I declined since the rate was higher than *** and I clearly requested they switch me back to *** when contract expired. I again called and left a message in October 2018, may bill for 10/16/18 - 11/7/18 Rate 8.69c/kWh and showed next cycle rate @ 8.69c/kWh
Next bill 11/10/18 - 12/10/15 still indicated next cycle rate as 8.69c/kWh but North American power increased rate to 15.99c/kWh a cost of $702.44 just for the supplier , my total ,bill for 1 month. $1,101.39. I again called North American power to
adjust this bill and cancel the contract and all I got was a sales pitch to sign a 3: year contract . I also called *** to switch service and received another bill for 12/10/18 - 1/10/19 for $1,102.28.
I have filed a hardship and am on the *** program since 2017. I am 71years old, on a fixed income — I have electric heat and have struggled to pay a budget amount of $450 - 480/month and this price gauging has caused the budget to jump to $789/month.
I have had no success talking to this company’s customer service and they refuse to bring the matter to their corporate office.

NAPG is in process of investigating the customer issue and we do not have a resolution to provide to the customer at this time.

I had a contract with North American Power. I had completed that contract and they moved me to a variable rate. The first month's rate was high around 8.9 cents per kWh. I ended up choosing a new supplier on Dec.7th with a rate 0f 5.4 cents per kWh. On my last bill North American decided to raise my rate to 13.9 cents per kWh almost three times higher than what it was during the contract period. I had no control over this since I selected another provider. I called their customer service line from the letter they sent me twice, waiting on hold for around 15 minutes. Each time I spoke to them they hung up on me within 30 seconds of speaking.

North American Power Response • Feb 08, 2019

The customer enrolled on line for a 12-month term at a rate of 0.0519. NAPG sent the customer the required contract expiration notice 9/7/18 advising that his contract would expire effective 10/23/18. NAPG has no record of the customer contacting our offices. The customer rate automatically moved to a month-to-month variable rate effective 10/24/18.

NAPG received a cancel request from the utility as the customer switched to another provider. the switch would be effective 12/25/18.

No adjustments are warranted.

Anita L

With only a renewal letter, no phone calls or emails, the power supply company (private), North American Power, more than doubled my charge per kWh. More than tripling my bill monthly over the last 6 months.

North American Power Response • Jan 07, 2019

The customer was sent a renewal notice via ***, which is required. We don not contact customer via phone or email for renewal offers. On 1/14/18 the customer was offered a new fixed rate contract but declined. NAPG issue a drop request on behalf of the customer.

There are no applicable adjustments.
