It’s not terrible so far, except the $1 74 a day fee. That’s $54 a month. That’s a weeks worth of electricity at our place. I didn’t see that when signing up. Probably my fault, or they keep it hidden for a reason.

Please transfer my power from existing address to 7511 Beechnut Houston Texas 77074 apt 240 November 28,2023 early in morning
Response: Mr. Wahidi- My records show that you were able to receive assistance. For future reference we are unable to transfer service, but we can cancel your current account and set up service at the new place. We can overlap the dates as well so that service is on at both places to allow you to move out or move in with power. Please call us at 888 963 9363 for assistance. Published on December 15, 2023
customer service is slow
Response: Hello- To recap your issue, it appears that it took a long time to resolve an issue when you attempted to get assistance. Since you have only reached out to us on one day, I think I can pinpoint the issue. Mondays can generally have higher calls volumes and longer wait times. This is due to the fact that Retail Electric Provider in Texas do not disconnect over the weekend so many more customers are facing disconnection on Monday than on other days . You were not facing disconnection but need another type of assistance . You left a call back request and our phone system dud dial you back but with no answer and that basically started the process over for you. We do apologize for the inconvenience but are glad that we were able to eventually provided the needed support. Please note that we are working on the launch of 24/7 automated assistance options which should improve this issue. Published on October 11, 2023
The payment option is easy to use. So far the first month I have noticed that I’m not saving any money using this service nor is it more of a charge than my previous service.
Response: We are so thankful for your review and would love the opportunity to speak to you about your charges, so that we can help you in any way we can. We invite you to reach back out to us via email or phone, so we can offer further assistance Published on August 29, 2023

At one time I was really pleased with the service but for some reason right now I feel like I’m being taken advantage of.My sho called daily usage is almost $20 a day. I live alone. No way. I went from $2-$3 to almost $20. You CAN do that because you know it’s hot and I need my electricity. OMG I’m looking forward to my contact being over and done. You can’t speak no one really. Someone answering there phone from home who is clueless and no help babies crying in the back ground. Smh. I don’t need nobody to come with a rebuttal telling me about my usage and all that cause I’m sure you’ve got all the answers. This is my experience and my opinion. I feel like it’s a RIP off from Payless & ERCOT. Sho consumers ate paying the ultimate price. It is what is until I can make the change.
Response: Mr Eldris- Your comments states that you feel you are being ripped off and that you are being charged for energy you don’t use because your power company has you over a barrel. Its understandable that you feel that way. The frustration of high electricity bills during the Texas summer is a real thing that customers all around the state are feeling regardless of who their power company is so that is understandable. The truth however is that over the last month there have only been 2 places on Earth hotter than Texas… The Sahara Desert and the Persian Gulf It has been very rough. Payless Power (like all Retail Electric Power Providers) is highly regulated by the State and can only bill you for the amount of power you use and that’s what we do . If we deviated from this, we would face enormous fines and it also would just be the wrong thing to do. We take the usage reported by your meter throughout the day and calculate your bill using this data… nothing else. We do not raise your rates when its hot and lower your rates when the weather’s nice. You are on a contract plan with a fixed rate . The only thin that fluctuates is the amount of power your home consumes daily. You can audit this your self in 2 ways. Once is through your Payless Power Customer Portal. There is a graph that shows your usage in daily weekly or monthly increments. The daily view shows you have much power you use each hour and also the high and low temperatures in your city that day. If you don’t trust Payless Power you can also audit your usage via www.smartmetertexas.com . This has similar info as our website but it is operated through the State and allows you to see your daily meter reads at the same time we get them. The good news for you is that your contract is near its end, and you are eligible to renew your plan with much cheaper rates than when you signed up last year. A supervisor will call you to discuss. 888 963 9363 Published on July 10, 2023
My review rating is a 3 star rating due to the fact that when I called customer service support to improve or change my status of my electric bill the representative messed up my new status that has me paying more like I’m month to month. I want to get this resolved.
Response: Mr Wilson- I supervisor will call you shortly to cover the best plan options in your area. 888 963 9363. Published on June 13, 2023
