      I called to cancel my account with this company in the fall of 2023, because my electric bill while with them was double what it had ever been before. I was advised to wait a month - told it would save me money to do so - and I called again on the date advised to cancel my account. I then saw, a couple of months later, that they were still on my bill and ***** told me they had never rec'd notification from american power and gas of any cancellation. I called american power and gas and was told that they would be launching an investigation into these illegal charges, since the woman i spoke (******) with could see in my file that I had indeed called to cancel in the fall. I was told I would hear from them within the week about their investigation, and weeks later I have heard nothing. I want a full refund of every dollar they've billed since I called to cancel last year and they failed to implement my request. There is absolutely something wrong with how this company operates - they simply double customers' bills - so buyer beware!

      The company uses telemarketers to repeatedly call our office posing as representatives of one of our utility providers. We do not have any business relationship with this company, and have repeatedly expressed that we are not interested in their services, and instructed them not to call our office. However, they continue to call our office, and use their deceptive practices to solicit information from us.

      My light or gas bill has never been this high until I signed up with this company. I dont know how they are getting away with this. I dont care how much money they try to give back to someone, something else has to be done. They asked me if I wanted a $300 payment through check or zelle. They really should be paying for their customers entire bill since they are the reason for the outrageous charges. The customer service representatives are unprofessional. Just reading some of these complaints I dont know how this can even be legal.

      We are receiving predatory rodo calls from a representative claiming they work for or represent APG. Yesterday alone we received 4 calls in a matter of an hour. We have repeatedly advised the caller we are NOT interested and to remove us from their list. The caller laughed and said he'll call back another time and we are on a robo caller, there's nothing we can do and he's just doing his job. I have filed an official complaint with the attorney general office in ***, I am asking the BBB to reach out to this company on our behalf to cease such practices.

      On 11/2/2023 received a phone call from American Power & Gas - ************** regarding 2 business locations. Caller lied that I alredy spoke with APG, when I stated I didn't, she said it was another person - mentioned name of the prior business owner who is out of business since 2015. I mentioned I'm not interested in switching to different supplier, but she didn't take 'NO' for an answer. Caller was very aggressive and dishonest. Want to make sure they do not call again, and. most importantly - do not switch our account from current supplier - I din't give my OK to do it.

      AP&G fraudulently changed our gas supply from the utility company supply to their own. There was no signed agreement or authorization from the business owner to make this change. It is now 12+ months later and since our account was on autopay, we just realized this change now. We have paid almost twice as much it would have cost had the unauthorized changes not been made. We feel this fraudulent activity may be going on on a much larger scale and someone needs to do something about this. The utility company doesn't have the means to "lock" the account on behalf of the customers, and supplier companies like this somehow fraudulently obtain account information and change the supplier unbeknownst to the owners. Please help and stop this from happening to unsuspecting consumers across the country!!

      Predatory telemarketer. I have received calls from company in the past and when you say you're not interested and hang up, they immediately call back - each call comes in under a different phone number. This time when I advised ******* I no longer wanted to receive the phone calls - in the foulest, most aggressive tone I could muster. She told me I was going to continue to receive calls until I heard her out.I really have to wonder about BBB ratings if this bunch has a top rating. They are clearly a company whose business model is aggressive and predatory. The fact they address complaints here does not make them reputable.

      I am rejecting this response because: *********** informed me they removed ******* from the phone and do not tolerate such practices. I believe this is exactly how this company operates. I've dealt with them two or three times in the past year. Hang up, immediate redial. Tell them again don't call, immediate redial. This is not a rogue rep, but a company practice. Then when you get a complaint, send the complainant a polite letter telling them what they want to hear. Problem solved.

      Just look at the string of complaints on this thread. Many the same. It's not a rogue rep on the phone. It's a company pattern and policy.

      I'm assuming I won't get another call from them, but if they have an excellent rating on BBB, there's something horribly wrong with the way the BBB rates companies.

      Sincerely,

      ***************************

      This company cold calls with extremely aggressive sales people who are very obviously trained to literally not take no for an answer, and refuse to hang up. You are forced to hang up with them mid-sentence because they do NOT take no interest for an answer. They use evasive language to try to confuse people into believing that they work for National Grid, even though they do not.Disingenuous, aggressive, and despite being asked to be placed on the do not call list, I continue to receive calls.
