Mishandled Call, Incorrect Emergency Tag, and Unnecessary Service Disruption
I am an extremely upset Atmos Energy customer. I called earlier about a major and unexplained increase in my gas bill, which has doubled in less than a month. Instead of helping me or performing the usage analysis I requested, the representative incorrectly labeled my call as an “emergency” even though I never reported smelling gas or having any signs of a leak.
Because of her mistake, a technician came to my home without my request, turned my gas off, and left a yellow tag in my mailbox. I came home after a long workday to find out I now had no hot water and needed to “schedule a relight.”
I then had to call Atmos again and was told a technician might come out tonight depending on their workload. I am now sitting in my home at night with no hot water, waiting for someone to fix a problem that Atmos created.
My time was wasted, the technician’s time was wasted, and my service was disrupted, all because my billing call was mishandled and incorrectly escalated. This situation was caused entirely by Atmos Energy error, and I am now dealing with the consequences.
This is unacceptable, and I expect Atmos Energy to address this pronto.
