Entergy - Billing issues
Original review updated Feb 26, 2025

I went on the app to pay my bill just like I have done the past couple years and have never had an issue until now. I tried to make a payment and it kept saying it wouldn't go through and not sure why because the money was there.

I ended up calling Entergy and told them what was going on. The lady I talked to was very friendly and nice and said she had actually just had the same problem and she also had CashApp and the same thing had also happened with her and didn't know what was going on. I had tried twice to make the payment and it said it had "failed" on both. When the lady told me the same had happened with her I just went and used my Regions account while I was talking to her and it went through right then and she even saw where it did and the confirmation # and everything so all was good.

Within the next couple days one of the others posted to my CashApp account so I called Entergy and they said it could take at east a couple weeks before they'd be able to do a refund or whatever because it hadn't "posted" on their end. I said ok whatever I guess it'll just credit to my bill the next month and would have to be paying another one anyway so whatever.

A couple days later the OTHER payment I had attempted to make that also was saying it "failed" on the app ended up trying to come through on my CashApp but by then there wasn't enough in there to cover it so I called Entergy AGAIN and they STILL WON'T HELP----

And NOW--- they ended up charging me $40 for a "returned check fee" and they've ALREADY got 2 payments for the same month. But NOW they're STILL ADDING A "PAST DUE AMOUNT" TO MY NEW BILL ?!?!?!?

Because it was messed up ON THEIR SYSTEM?!?!?!?

I have NEVER had an issue like this with them before and I've talked to MULTIPLE PEOPLE about this.

I honestly wish there were other options to go with another power company but sadly---- they have the monopoly when it comes to power here so they just do what they want.

Tomorrow I'll be contacting the public works commission or whichever it's called that handles utility companies about what's going on.

Loss:
$155
Pros:
  • Service is usually reliable and they try to restore it in reasonable time when have had storms knock power out
Cons:
  • Billing issues and they will not fix them

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: If you have any option to pay your bill in some stores just go ahead and pay the little fee and get cash to just pay it there rather than something like this happening to you. I will be doing this in the future. Will possibly just be closing my CashApp and checking account at Regions and just get new accounts at both to avoid this issue in the future.

Can't sign in!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I've had to call them numerous times! I'm a landlord and have many accounts, all with the same sign in.

But, just like today, I've tried to sign in with the same ID as usual and it won't let me in!

Last time, I complained to a supervisor but it did no good. They don't care and are just too big!

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Monies were refunded April 9th.

Entergy said monies were charged back on January 28th.

It took February, March and part of April to get my funds back. Sad!!

Original review Mar 24, 2024
Cl$180.46(in GREEN) was a CREDIT due to over payment of $350. When $350.00 was supposedly charged back to my card, I got a disconnect, immediately, for entire $350.

What happened to $180 credit?? No one knows. And the refund was never received by my bank. I was told by Entergy n Speed Pay that the monies were refunded on January 28, 2024.

It is now March 24, NO REFUND. Now, Entergy is very short with me referring me to my bank, well my bank doesnt know what Entergy has done with the funds, either. My bank has been investigating since January as you can see the dispute filed. This company has to customer service of mobsters shaking down there poor, elderly, hard working, widowed mothers.

If they refunded the funds, they should know where they went. Instead, they tell me, We no longer have those funds. Get with your bank.. They show no concern or compassion for my loss.

I was given misinformation from then concerning my payment in the first place. I paid $350 with a debit card. Call to see when services would be turned back on, services had been off all night, I was told there was no payment made. I was told I could not use my debit card because I had a returned check and that is why debit card info did not go through.

Sooooo, I went to ATM withdrew $400 and made a payment of $350. Came out of store and instructed my 13 year daughter to check my account, We had $10 left. Both payment had processed!!!
Now, they will not return my money. Entergy is pointing the finger at Speed Pay, Speed Pay is pointing the finger at my Bank, My Bank is pointing the finger at Entergy and Speed Pay.

Over $350, REALLY??? Sharks!!!

Cons:
  • If at all
  • Difficult to get issues resolved quickly

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Fined competition for Entergy. Give costumers a choice. Other options. Many people are complaining about how their bills has gone up since getting those new digital meters. Entergy simply passed the cost down to us and can now turn us off with the flip of a switch and charge us for their convenience.FOUL!!! I just want my little $350. Pebble in an ocean for a BIG BULLY like Entergy, RIGHT???

NUISANCE PHONE CALLS

Nuisance phone calls late at night (after 10:00 PM) and early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) regarding power outages or power restorations. These calls were, or are, made to us outside of Entergy's stated business hours, yet no consideration is given to this consumer's quiet hours (21:00 ~ 07:00).

Pros:
  • We do get reliable electrical power

I was just told today that I'm going to be out of lights. For $143.00 I paid $100. 00 and that I'm using 2000 watts.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I kept how my AC in the summer time from how it was at my old location. Same with my heating.

I'm pregnant my light bill is very high and I don't know why when my lights aren't on in the house when gone.

And when home barely have on. It's not making sense

They block me from using the Entergy iPone app because they didn't like my review.

Updated by user Sep 30, 2024

I have no choice as they have no competition here. Their response has been to block me from using the myEntergy app for iPhone.

Original review Sep 29, 2024

I requested more time to pay my bill (a few days) and was granted. Then I started receiving emails demanding payment for the current bill they granted me more time for and they demanded payment for next months bill that wasn't due for another 16 days.

So I paid them off immediately upon their email demand for current billing. The bill was not due for another 16 days.

THEY DID NOT LIKE MY REVIEW, SO THEY BLOCK ME FROM USING THE myENTERY sign-in app. This reflects less than competent management.

Terrible customer service and dangerous situation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Terrible service; I reported a live downed wire with children in the area, and it took 4 hours for a truck to arrive. This is totally unacceptable, especially with a live wire and kids involved in the heat of the summer.

Rate Hikes. Dumb Service. Stupid practices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Entergy is a profit-driven corporation that exists as a monopoly for millions of clients. We don't have any say in how the company runs, yet when they collect big rebates from the government, they don't pay it forward.

They just keep hiking up the cost and put it on the backs of their consumers. I have never seen any storm-proactive practices. When a hurricane tears up all their poles, do they strategically bury some to reduce the damage in the future? No.

They just put up the same basic pine poles. I really don't like these guys.

Poor Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I am sitting here completing homework when the power goes out. There is no inclement weather.

When I call customer service I am told it is a planned outage and there is no estimated time for restoration.

I understand upgrades must happen, but how difficult is it to send out a notice to customers so we can plan around the outage. If the bill is not paid on time, communication is great!

High bill

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Before I moved to my new location. I was at the old location for 4 years.

Now while I was at the old house. I been on my bill and was getting help from the local company that specializes in helping. Well fast forward to January I was heading out to work but I was going to go in to pay. But before I can they cut off my lights.

I had been calling them and trying to get into my account online. That wasn't working. Well I was of power for quite some time. I found out that the meter was still running when no power was in the house.

Well now I had to switch my service to my new house. And they put the old bill of 2500 on my new account.

I'm on a fixed income and don't have the money to pay that. Entergy is a ridiculous company.

WORSE than *** poor customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Asplundh came here LAST YEAR, ribboned some trees killed by drought / pine beetles, within falling distance of the Entergy line, said "we'll be back to take them down." NEVER returned.

THOSE few trees were the launching pad for the pine beetles to destroy DOZENS of mature pines, trees I can NEVER replace.

Called Entergy, THEY told me their "vegatation dept" will come by. NEVER came by

Called Entergy some MORE !

Told them since Asplundh never came to take these trees down, since ENTERGY never came to take these trees down, guess it's up to ME ! I will cut them down, IF, IF, IF they fall into the power line, oh well, I did the best I could do by myself with NO help from Entergy or Asplundh.

NOW they claim I THREATENED to damage their equipment and are going to turn my lights off

Power out again after a rain storm. Took em 4 hrs just to come to the area to check it out. Moved repair time from 4 pm to 5:30 pm in the 95 degree heat. And they don’t care if I lose food in freezer
