      I received a notice that I have a collection from CREDIT MANAGEMENT LP on my credit report. It says it was opened on 12/29/2023 for $689.00 with account number starting in ******** that I am not aware of nor am I responsible for. I never went into business with this company or signed any agreements with them so they should not be reporting anything on my credit. This is a violation of my rights as a consumer according to the **** and FDCPA.

      I received an electric bill twice the price of the previous month at $403. I asked my meter to be tested as I have never had a bill that large. I even talked to my apt manager and they also said they have never seen a bill that high for even units larger than mine. Oncur came out and tested my meter, claimed it was fine, but did replace it. ***** claimed they replaced to do other reasons than faulty meter. I do not agree with paying an extra large bill when meter needed replacement. I have already paid bill as I don't want my lights turned off but I do not feel that this bill is an accurate use when meter needed replacement.

      On Thursday 2/22/24, I called Ambit Energy about a past due balance on my account and inquired how much I would have to pay to avoid disconnection. I was told I had to pay about $450, which I could pay on Friday 2/23/24, at any point that day. I was told once this was paid, my service would be saved from disconnection and I could pay the remainder of the owed balance in the first week of *****. Ambit would not expect any payments until that ***** payment. I paid Ambit $452 on Friday 2/23. I then went out of town for the weekend. When I returned home the evening of Monday 2/26, my power was not on. I called Ambit, where a representative rudely told me that there was no record of the payment arrangement even though they could see the payment I made, and I would need to pay $192 to restore power. After being asked to speak to a supervisor, I was hung up on. I called back and spoke to a different agent who said they could see the payment but they cut off my power because I didnt call back after making the payment to set the arrangement up. I was never informed I had to call back, i was told I only needed to make the payment. She said I had to pay over $200 to restore my service. After asking to be transferred to a supervisor, a supervisor got on the line but she apparently could not hear me. She called me back and still was unable to hear me, although the two agents before her had no problem. I then called back and got the service centers answering machine, as they had just closed for the night. After traveling all day with two young children and coming home to no power, being unable to restore my service was extremely upsetting.

      In September, our plan was communicated to change from the "Guaranteed Rate" plan to a fixed rate plan. My spouse was told via email and phone that every winter rates go up for energy based on increased usage and demand and this fixed rate would save us money on our energy. This is not how commodities work! They even said "based on historical data", which is also a false claim as even last winter, gas and electric rates went down in both January and February steadily. When asking to be reimbursed, they refused. When asking to immediately cancel and get us back to direct through Comed and Nicor, they said it will take 1-2 billing cycles! I want a refund for the difference between Comed and Nicor Rates vs what we paid for through Ambit. This is absolutely false advertising and will be seeking legal action if I am not reimbursed.******************************* from the office of the president was unable to assist us and refused to provide contact information for the President of the Company ***********************.

      Dear BBB Staff,

      Thank you for notifying us of alternate contact ************************* concern with Ambit Energy. Ambit Energy has completed its research and investigation into complaint # ******** and has documented its findings and actions taken with respect to this complaint.

      A review of the account shows that ***************************** enrolled for electric services with Ambit Energy on 07/12/21 for the service address referenced above. The customer enrolled under the ********************** ****************** Plan 24 (GSP) for both electric and natural gas services.  Illinois ****************** Plan 24 (GSP) is a month-to-month variable price plan designed to provide the customer with a minimum percentage of savings over their incumbent supplier rates for the specified term as long as the customer remains enrolled over a consecutive 24-month period.  Records show on 06/30/23 and07/12/23 Ambit sent renewal notices indicating the existing terms of service would expire on 08/21/23.  Additionally,the notices advised that if a new plan was not selected by the customer, the account would automatically convert to Ambits Illinois Select Variable plan energy rate ****** per kwh.

      Records show on 09/16/23, the customer initiated a product change via her web portal My Ambit Account (MAA) into the Illinois Select 12-month plan with a fixed energy rate of ****** per kwh.

      Records show that ******************************* contacted Ambit Energy stating that the recent invoices mailed were too high. The agent provided detailed billing analysis for the service periods of 12/18/23-01/20/24 billed at ****** per kwh for the reported usage of ***** kwh &service period of 11/15/23-12/18/23 billed at ****** per kwh for the reported usage of 953 kwh.  ****************** indicated he would contact Ambit at a later time. 

      Ambit received a call back from ****************** requesting immediate cancellation of service.  The customer was advised of ComEds timeframe of 1-2 bill cycles to have his service returned to ComEd.  ****************** was not receptive to the information provided and requested to speak with a manager, a supervisor callback was submitted.  Records show an Ambit supervisor contacted the customer but was unable to speak with him directly, a voice message was left with direct contact information.

      Our records show on 02/22/24, ****************** emailed Ambit requesting a callback.  ********* of the president (OP)representative contacted the customer back and left a voice message with direct contact information.  The account holder **************** contacted Ambit again regarding the cancellation timeframe and was once more informed of the 1-2 bill cycles for completion.  The agent immediately submitted the cancellation request. 

      ****************** contacted OP agent directly and states the sales consultant misrepresented the price plan and how the rate is calculated.  ****************** communicated Ambit should bill him the same rate as ComEd at the time.  The agent educated ****************** that he voluntarily chose Ambits fixed rate therefore no refund is warranted. 

      Based on Ambits review of the account, **************** was sent correspondence prior to expiration of her GSP rate plan indicating that the plan would expire on 08/21/23.  The customer voluntarily completed a renewal into Ambits Illinois Select 12-month plan and has been properly billed in accordance with the account product.

      Ambit received ComEds drop response indicating the effective end date of 03/27/2024 which is within the utilitys specified timeframe of 1-2 bill cycles for cancellations.  If ***************** still wishes to further discuss his concerns, he may contact ********************** directly at **************.

      I am rejecting this response because:   I had previously attached email correspondence where Ambit Consultant stated false information / scare tactics to ********************* to get her to sign the new contract.   Gas and electric are commodities and what *************************** stated about how gas and electric prices go up in winter months with increased consumer usage is absolutely false.   This is not how commodities work.  If I do not have resulting/ refund, my lawyer will engage.

      *************************** - our Ambit consultant, also lives a few doors down from **, has been waiting by her mailbox the past 3 days to complain to the postman about our mailbox location and then told him she will be contacting the postmaster if our mailbox is not moved.  Our postman told us this directly yesterday, stating concerns she may also threaten our business.  This is all coming immediately after the dispute with Ambit Energy and my reporting to the BBB. This is both retaliation and harassment.  I want this documented and will also be contacting the authorities as this is getting out of hand. We operate an LLC out of our home and do not want ***** retaliating/ threatening further.  I saw her slow roll past my property the other day looking like she was taking pictures (my office faces out our front windows).

      The nature of this dispute is regarding the outrageous business practices of Ambit Energy and the lack of clarity when the plan ended in 09/2023. Previously I was on a plan that did not have a 9.95 a month base charge. At that time, I was charged 8.1 cents per kw used. My current plan I was told is a 10. per kw. however, my bill has been insignificantly higher since the change. 2 2-cent difference would not have made this much of a difference in my bill, especially by using around or less than previous months. Ambit charges a base charge 9.95 for some plans but cannot explain why. If this fee is going to be charged, why not for all plans? I was told that it was an admin fee. To me, it sounds like a fluff fee that they are charging. the same process for billing is being done regardless of the plan. there is no reason they should be charging a 9.95 fee period. this is to acquire more money from the customer after inflating prices. this is unjust and not business practices and now I'm stuck with this FLUFF FEE. I was not given options for plans that did not have this base charge. This information was never disclosed to me during the selection process of a new plan because the old one ended. I was not given a fair choice. I called and tried to get a resolution but nothing. They are giving me baseless reasons as to why the charges are so high. I am being lied to all around from these people. If the same billing process is done every month for every customer, then there should not be an ADMIN Fee accessed. This is a hidden fee that was not disclosed to me when I renewed my plan. this is unlawful and deceiving. please see a screenshot from the Ambit website for the Base Fee. I would have never agreed to paying a base charge if I was told I was being charged on the renewal.

      A review of ************** account indicates on 09/20/23, she completed a renewal for electric service and selected Ambits Texas Classic 24-month fixed energy rate of ****** per kwh and includes a monthly base charge of $9.95 and an early termination fee of $199. Upon the receipt of the customers acceptance of the new terms of service agreement, Ambit sent a product change acknowledgement document on 09/20/23, confirming the monthly base charge, energy rate, and term length. Copies of the contract service agreement were mailed to the customers service address and are available to view on her My Ambit Account (MAA) online account. Additional copies of the contract documents and product change acknowledgement are included with this response.
      ************** was billed in accordance with the account product and reported usage. Additionally, the customer was provided with a detailed explanation of her contract, billing details, & monthly base charge details. Based on our review, no adjustments or reimbursement are warranted. The account is currently energized with a total balance of $68.18. An Ambit representative contacted the customer. If ************** wishes to discuss the matter further, she may contact me directly at **************.
      I sincerely hope this meaningfully responds to the above inquiry. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by email at *************************************.

      I am rejecting this response because:   The representative for Ambit that signed me up for the new plan after my plan expired did not advise of a base charge of 9.95 each month. I would have never agreed to this and was not made aware of this monthly charge. I wanted a plan close to the plan i was receiving in which a base charge was not on that plan. There are several other plans that do not charge a base of 9.95. When asked about the charge during a recent call i was told it was admin fee each month. If s the admin fee can be removed. how is it that some plans have the 9.95 and other don't that they offer? This does not make any sense whatsoever. The 9.95 is a fluff fee to gain more money from customers that's why they don't say anything. They saw on the previous plan i was not being charged that, so why would you think i want to pay that now? I will not pay a 199 fee for a disconnection early term. Even though they say they mailed something to me with new terms does not mean i received it. This is besides the point they should have disclosed this information to me. This plan is costing me a lot of money. Please have them to show you how that 9.95 is broken down and ask why other plans with Ambit do not have the fee if it is an admin fee. I would assume they process everything the same for all customers right?

      An Ambit representative contacted the customer via email and phone. If Ms. ****** wishes to discuss the matter further, she may contact me directly at **************.
