Refused to take any action to correct wrong billing, deliberately ripping customer off
Bounce Energy is ripping me off with poor customer service and no-effort to resolve billing issues. On 7/15/09, I received two separate electric bills for my address, one from Bounce Energy and another from Green Energy. Both bills show different Meter #.

I called Bounce Energy only to be told by a Jessica that it wasn't their fault at all, that Oncor gave them the information. Oncor does not serve my address so I went to TX-NM who told me that Meter #[protected] - shown on Bounce Energy statement - belongs to 247 E. Corporate Dr, while Meter #[protected] is 265 E. Corporate Dr. #[protected] is verified by checking with the actual meter itself in my apartment building. #[protected] cannot be found anywhere, not even in the neighborhood buildings.
I relayed that information back to Bounce Energy. Their supervisor - he had a thick Latino accent - said they will issue a refund.
2 weeks went by, Bounce Energy has not resolved the issue. In fact, I'm being billed the next month for the same incorrect Meter #[protected].

I called on 7/27/09 about 11:30am. A different supervisor denied any mistake on their part, insisting that all information is correct. I repeated the findings from TX-NM. He hesitated, as if he didn't believe a word of it, and claimed that he would issue an investigation about it. I don't believe anything will be done since 1) I didn't receive a refund despite the claims of the Latino-accented supervisor on 7/15, 2) no action has been taken to correct the Meter Number with the right address, and 3) I’m still getting billed for Meter #[protected] despite presenting proof it doesn’t belong to my address.
To add insult to injury, Bounce Energy has one of the worst customer service I’ve ever seen. Average wait time 15 to 20 minutes. Neither Green Energy nor StarTex Energy took that long to take customer calls, and they are bigger companies than Bounce. Along with the fact that Bounce refused to verify correct Meter # with address, insinuating other parties being at fault (including me as customer) for any incorrect information Bounce has.
To all that still have pending issues with Bounce Energy,
Resend complaint to Customer Service and cc. the following people: Karl Trollinger, Chief Marketing Officer , James Moskosky, Executive VP , Robbie Wright, CEOfficer. They tend to step up when the higher-ups are notified.
According to a Joanna Cortez, Customer Service Manager, my account will be closed and the paid amount refunded within 3 to 5 business days. Here's the thing. She was quick to reply to e-mails last week. This week, I heard neither hide nor hair from her. The amount has not been refunded. My account shows I don't owe any more money, which is good. But overall service is bad. I lost $88.68. I intend to spread the word of the dishonest service of Bounce Energy. They deserve to be out of business!

Awful customer service; billing mistakes
Extremely bad customer service! We signed up with this company due to their advertised "no deposit" plan. The plan has a very high kwh rate, but the company advertised on their website that the rate would be "proactively" and "automatically" lowered to the "lowest available rate" after three months of on-time payments. However despite our diligence in making the payments on time, THE RATE REDUCTION DID NOT HAPPEN and moreover, there has been absolutely nothing done "proactively" by this company. I have spent hours on the phone trying to get the bill corrected, with most of it on hold for 25 or more minutes per call! The first call took 40 minutes, with the first rep telling me tersely that I should have known to ask for the "plan change" department instead of billing! How would I know this when I should not even have had to call with this issue! I was promised a return call by a rep two days ago; I never received a call. Now, despite the fact that this is THEIR MISTAKE, Bounce Energy is saying that the bill will not be corrected until next month due to their "system", which leaves me with a HUGE electric bill for this month. This "system" which was supposed to make certain that the rate was "automatically" and "proactively" lowered is obviously useless.

$75 bill credit with promo code 1573875
holy ###... never do business with this crap company..
I have been waiting for the deposit from 4 months.. and there is update.
Can some one tell me what can be done to get the deposit back..
OMG. These guys are horrible. Avoid them like the plague. I'm currently with them, have been calling them about the fact that 1. never received the credit they were supposed to give me 2. they were sending me bills for 2 meters (for the empty house next to me) and my house.
These guys are absolutely awful. I have been on the phone with reps for HOURS with no resolution.
After doing some diggin on Linkedin, these are the culprints of crappy service
CEO - Robbie Wright
VP of Operations - Sabrina Colgin
Customer Service Manager - Michelle Cantu
If all fails, send them messages on Linkedin. If they are that clueless with the dissatisfaction of their service, they should go hide in a closet and never come out.
SAme thing here!
I switched to YEP
I'm sitting on 4 invoices I got in the last 3 weeks totalling $1200
My monthly bill is nver over $230
what company you signed been on hold for 2 hours and know there saying i owe a 300 dollar deposit
txgirl29..what company did you swith to, I'm having problems with bounce as we speak.
thanks
That's a bold lie. I spoke to a Rep Ottavio (he refused to give me his entire name or employee number) and he told me the exact same line. That it was a billing error and that I had to pay this almost $500 bill and the credit would occur thbe next month. I personally think that this may be a company wide standard as they know the people who choose the no deposit option are doing so for finaancial reasons. So, if they bill that high amount the 4th month and you cancel your credit card to avoid the amount you don't owe, I was told they would then turn around and require a deposit. There is plenty of time for them to correct the problem and not bill that amount. If they don't correct this I might just allow the charge to go through and when everything else starts bouncing and my bank hits me with charge backs, I'll take them to court for gross negligence since I gave them fair warning. It sounds likes this could easily have the possibility of a clasa action lawsuit. The CEO's name on record is Robbie Wright and phone number is [protected]
I do apologize for the experience. We did have an issue that has since been resolved. The rate changes are occurring automatically when a customer pays on time for 3 months in a row on the Fresh Start plan. We have corrected the issue with customers who were not automatically lowered by offering bill credits for any bills that were not lowered and adjusting the rate for the future. The Fresh Start plan is a great plan for customers looking to avoid a deposit and your rate will be lowered to our lowest rate plan after 3 consecutive on time payments.
We have had a higher than normal call volume and expanding our customer service team to make sure we service all of our customers.

Well I originally signed up for Bounce energy due to the no deposit required as well. However after finding another service provider that did not require a deposit and an extremely lower cost per kw i called and requested to have my bounce energy account cancelled. the service was not due to be started until the following week. I requested the cancellation on 7-3. I received an email from bounce stating my bill is available to be viewed online. I contacted Bounce. which each call takes over an hour to speak to someone. was told that they came and set up service for me after me requesting it to be cancelled. they came out on 7-6 and billed me from 7-6 to 7-15. and when i inquired as to why i was told that thats just what they did. the escalations dept is a joke. they are completely unprofessional and unhelpful. Ive gotten nowhere with this company. and when i asked to speak to the supervisor was told thats who i was speaking to. I requested to speak to someone aboce him and was hung up on. Bounce energy is the worst company ive ever seen. Im now happily with another provider.
WOW! I am going through the same issue too! I would love to know what you did to resolve this issue. For me they gave me a credit and then refunded my credit and are reversing my payments made and now charging me again without asking, or calling me to tell me what and why this is going on!
I didn't get a call back either and two operators have now hung up on me because they didn't want to give me any answers as to why this is happening! :(

I agree, bounce energy is very unprofessional. They took $361.00 out of my account that i did not authorize. When i spoke to a customer service rep they said it would be refunded in 3-5 business days, which it was not. Once i finally received my refund it was only $344 leaving a difference of $16 dollars. I spoke to two different managers about this matter. The first supervisor advised me that it was not their problem and it was nothing they could do about it. The second one said she would submit a request for my $16 refund. I still have not received my money back. They have a terrible management staff . I am angry and confused.
Service is terrible! I signed up for the Super Saver plan for free companion flights after 3 months of bills paid on time ( I have auto-pay, never was I late) but little did they tell me that I have to wait almost 3 months after that to receive anything! What a waste of time.. we'll see if I ever get anything. Now having taken that offer off of the site, I'm guessing I won't.
I kept getting bounced around from one person to another but never any help and it always takes at least an hour to get any sort of answers (which are almost always bad).
I get that these guys are marketing specialists, but if they can't deliver, their going to fail really quickly.
I do apologize for the experience. As our Customer Service Manager explained, when we submitted your order, we were provided with the incorrect ESIID by the TDSP in your area. As a result, we ended up serving the incorrect meter. We have spoken with you about this issue, and have advised you that you will not be responsible for any meter that is not the meter you requested. We are currently in the process of giving the meter we gained back to the correct provider.
We have had a higher than normal call volume and expanding our customer service team to make sure we service all of our customers.

My advice is to get this issue with Bounce Energy resolved as quickly as you can...Ther are many new Retail Electric Providers in Texas that simply cannot survive, for a number of reasons, and Bounce is at the top of the list of those that probably won't make it till the end of the year. Don't wait...get your money back now!
I feel your pain. We are dealing with a similar situation right now. They drafted my account TWICE for this month's bill...to the tune of $401.38. I've called countless times. The first time that I called, the rather rude CS girl said it would just sit on my account as a credit. NO, I DON'T THINK SO. I escalated to a supervisor and was told that the refund has been issued and it takes 2-5 business days to hit my account...blah, blah, blah. I think I am getting the run around. I'm calling back today to let them know that I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and I might even call Fox 4 and I'm opening a fraud dispute with my bank. Can you take that route?
You should have only paid for your meter reading and not someone else s. Use your receipt for the other meter to pay the next bill. If they shut you off, sue them.
