Willingness
Sure, I'll be more than happy to assist you with…..Let me take a look at your account and see what
options we have for you.
It will be my pleasure to assist you with your request. Let me take a moment to quickly review your
account, XXX, so we can assist you with xxx.
I will be more than glad to assist you with your balance inquiry, if you would be so kind to allow me one
moment to quickly review your account, please?
I would be happy to check on the status of your account, just one moment to take a quick look at your
account.
I completely understand needing additional time to make a payment, no worries, we can look into for
options for payment with the balance.
Empathy
I can understand how that would be difficult, we have all faced difficult situations, we can look to for
options as a resolution to help you.
I can’t imagine what you must be going through, hopefully we can make things a little better by
providing you with options for XXXX.
I apologize for the confusion, let me look at your account to see where the miscommunication may have
been so we can clear it up.
Congratulations on your new home! I will be more than happy to assist you with transferring your
services, we appreciate you choosing to remain with Ambit, and we thank you for being a loyal
customer.
I sincerely apologize for the long hold, we understand how valuable your time is, we are doing our best
to attend to all our customers and assist their requests.
I am sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling well, I do hope you feel better soon.
Balance inquiry
Currently your balance is $112.09 with a due date of 3/16, would you like to make a payment with our
Automated Service or through your MyAmbitAccount? Or do you need additional time to make
payment for the total balance?
Your past due balance is $143.74 and is due on 3/12 to avoid disconnection on 3/13. There will be a fee
of $10.00 included on your next invoice due to a disconnect notice being sent. Would you like to make a
payment with our Automated Service or through your MyAmbitAccount? Or do you need additional
time to make payment for the total balance?
I notice that you are on a Month-to-Month plan, your term plan expired on XXXX. We recommend that
you enroll in a Term Plan with lower competitive rates.
The increase in usage would mainly be caused by temperature increases outside. Depending on your
desired temperature for your home, the temperature outside will affect your consumption. If the
temperature is hotter than usual or during the summer months, your air conditioner will work harder to
maintain your desired temperature inside your home. Once the temperatures outside lower your
consumption will lower, but this will also depend on your desired temperature inside your home.
Cooling your home during the hottest months of the year can account for close to 70% of your usage.
We recommend raising the temperature as much as you are comfortable, even 1 degree makes a big
difference. Raising your temperature 4⁰ can reduce your usage by as much as 20%. We also
recommend raising your temperature several degrees any time you leave your home for 1 or more
hours.
Because you have a Smart Meter, you have the power to analyze your energy use by month, week, day
or even in 15-minutes increments by registering with Smartmetertexas.com. That makes it easy to
review when energy use spikes around your house, and make energy saving changes, like better
managing how and when you use household items, replacing older appliances, and other adjustments.
It is required to use your ESI ID; would you like for me to provide it to you?
You have the power to analyze your energy use by month, week, day or even in 15-minutes increments
since you are registered for a MyAmbitAccount. You can see the usage information online by going to
My Bill > Usage History tab.
Since you are not registered for a MyAmbitAccount, we would recommend this, you would have the
power to analyze your energy use by month, week, day or even in 15-minutes increments. Once
registered, you can see the usage information online by going to My Bill > Usage History tab.
I notice that the main reason for your high invoice is that your usage has increased in the last few
months as follows:
Instead of using your oven, which heats your entire home, think of using your microwave,
indoor or outdoor grill.
Lower your water heater (120°F or 49°C). You can also invest in a water heater tank
jacket/insulation wrap.
Turn off lights except where needed - CFL or LED bulbs use 75% less energy than regular light
bulbs.
Also, as a tip, we recommend unplugging the items that have small power transformers since they use
power anytime they are plugged in whether items are being charged or not (phone charger, coffee pot,
flat screen television, computer, etc.).
Delete CC Info
If you would like you can remove stored payment information online by going to my profile>scroll down
to Stored Payment Information> Edit> delete.
Payment Extension
I completely understand needing additional time to make a payment, no worries, we can help you with
options for payment with the balance.
In order to set a payment arrangement, an initial payment is required, how much can you pay today?
For a payment extension, the furthest date we can provide for the remaining balance is (insert date).
Will you be paying the first installment online after the chat session?
Please note your payment must post today by 12:00AM for your payment plan to be established. Once
your payment is received. the remaining installment amount will be (insert amount) due on (insert
date). If either payment is not received by the agreed upon date, your service may be subject to
interruption. If a disconnect order is sent for non-payment, fees will apply.
If applicable: In addition, you have an invoice due on (insert date) for (insert amount).
The minimum amount required to set up a deferred payment plan is (insert amount).
(For defaulted DPP) I understand your concern with the initial installment for a DPP is 50% of the
balance. The initial installment is higher due to the previous DPP defaulting due to not being paid as
agreed.
If you enter into this plan concerning your past due amount, we will put a switch hold on your account.
A Switch Hold means that you will not be able to buy electricity from other companies until you pay the
total deferred balance. If we put a switch hold on your account, it will be removed after your deferred
balance is paid and processed. While a Switch Hold applies, if you are disconnected for not paying, you
will need to pay Ambit Energy to get your electricity turned back on. Do you understand the terms of the
deferred payment plan as I have read them to you and accept this plan?
We will send you a letter within approximately 24 hours via regular mail detailing your Deferred
Payment Plan.
We will not send you any additional reminder statements or call you regarding your remaining
installment payments.
It is important to pay your current monthly invoices in full moving forward, along with your DPP
installments, by the due date to avoid defaulting on your agreement and any interruption in
service.
Move Request
Congratulations on your new home! I will be more than happy to assist you with transferring your
services, we appreciate you choosing to remain with Ambit, and we thank you for being a loyal
customer.
May I have the full-service address where you want your service to be transferred to?
Is [number] your best contact number?
When would you like to start the service at the new address?
When would you like to end the service at the current location?
Will the mailing address be the same as the new service address?
Will the new mailing address be effective today?
When will be effective the mailing address change?
New Address [______________]

Move In date [______________]
Current address [______________]
Move out date [______________]

If you decide to make a change to this date, you have until one business day before your scheduled date
to make this request. Once we receive your final meter read, a final invoice will be sent.
It takes approximately 24 hours (excluding the weekend and holidays) for service to start. We typically
see Expedite Move-In orders completed within 2-4 hours; however, we are unable to guarantee that
specific time.
Average Billing Customers: Average billing will be cancelled and result in a True-Up or Settlement for
your current location. If you would like to continue Average Billing, you must enroll once at the new

your current location. Once the new address is energized, you can enroll by calling customer care.

access your MAA account or contact Customer Care to update this information to avoid any future
rejected payments.
Cancel Account
I'm sorry to hear we're losing you as a customer, may I ask the reason you want to cancel?
Since you are moving to a new location, may I please have the new address to see if we service that
area? If we do, we can transfer your current service to the new address.
I did confirm that we do service the new address, may I offer you to transfer your services to the new
location instead of cancelling?
I understand there is currently service at the new address, we can look at what is being paid per KWH
and see if your Ambit account has a better rate. Would you like to review the prices?
I understand, I hope in the future when you are in the market for an electric provider, you will allow us
the opportunity to serve you again. Let me take care of your cancellation request for you.
We really appreciate the time you have being an Ambit Customer, however if you'd like to return to the
company, you can do so at any time, and we will be more than happy to serve you again.
We require a minimum of two full business days (no weekends or holidays) to cancel the service at your
current address, so the closest date I can send the cancel order for is (insert date). When would you like
to have the services cancelled?
If you decide to make a change to this date, you have until one business day before your scheduled date
to make this request.

refunded 4-6 weeks from the final invoice generation date.
Ambit Home Services: Your cancellation order will remove Ambit Home Services.
AutoPay: Your account will remain on Auto Pay for 60 days after the account is cancelled.

(money owed), which will be applied to your final invoice. The amount is based on your Average Billing
balance at the time you cancel.
