My account started off great and now I’m spending about five to $600 a month on a one bedroom apartment. Payless power is charging me almost 50 to 70 kW a day and I’m only home for maybe six hours out the whole day. I’ve already replaced a lot of things that the apartment. Even AC unit has been replaced bill. Still coming up. High Payless power won’t do anything about it.

Response: Hi Moises, Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand your concern with seeing higher-than-expected energy costs, especially when you're away from home for much of the day and have already taken steps to improve efficiency, including replacing items in the apartment and the AC unit. Your feedback is important, and we recognize how frustrating it can be when usage doesn't seem to match your expectations. Energy consumption can be affected by a variety of factors, including appliances, HVAC operation, property conditions, and other sources of electrical demand. We encourage you to contact our Customer Care team so we can review your account details, discuss your daily usage patterns, and help identify resources that may provide additional insight into your consumption. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, Moises, and look forward to the opportunity to assist you further. Published on August 06, 2026

Absolutely the WORST ELECTRICITY COMPANY. Talking to customer service is virtually impossible. I received a disconnection notice and made the payment before the time they allotted, and they still disconnected my service even though my account shows a positive balance and 3 days remaining! I’ve been on hold for 30 minutes and still 144 people in front of me in the que. I live in texas and the heat index is 116!

Response: Hi Kiersten, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand your frustration with receiving a disconnection notice, making your payment within the allotted timeframe, and then finding your service disconnected despite your account showing a positive balance and remaining days of service. We also recognize how concerning this situation is during extreme Texas temperatures, especially when you're experiencing long wait times while trying to get assistance. Your feedback regarding both the disconnection and the difficulty reaching Customer Care is important. We'd like the opportunity to review your account details, confirm when the payment was received, and investigate why the disconnection occurred so we can provide accurate information and assistance. Please reach out to our Customer Care Team at 1-888-963-9363 during our standard business hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, so we can look into this matter further and work toward a resolution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Kiersten. We look forward to assisting you. Published on August 04, 2026

Company is trash and all it looks like is a money grab! How the hell do I put $30 on my lights and the very next day you telling me my balance is low. There is no way in hell I’m using that much electricity when nobody is home half the day. I out money on them at least 3 to 4 times a week and that’s outrageous. I will be going with another company as soon as possible this is ridiculous!!!

Response: Hi Marvin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your concerns regarding the frequency of adding funds and the rate at which your balance appears to be decreasing. Questions about energy usage and account balances are important, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. At this time, we were unable to locate an account for you here at Payless Power using the information provided in the review.

Una queja más de esta compañía y de sus operadoras solo te habla. No para ayudarte solo para recordarte lo que ya sabes te costan la luz no les importa nada ni que estamos en lo más alto de calor en el verano a 100 grados y tengas niños en casa NO RECOMINDO ESTA COMOAÑIA

Response: Gracias por compartir su experiencia. Lamentamos que se sienta de esa manera y entendemos que las altas temperaturas del verano pueden generar preocupación, especialmente cuando hay niños en el hogar. Nos gustaría aclarar que nos comunicamos con usted para revisar su cuenta y explicarle las opciones de asistencia interna disponibles, así como la manera en que funcionan. Además, también le proporcionamos información sobre programas de asistencia externos, incluyendo recursos como llamar al 211 o comunicarse con ACE CASH EXPRESS, en caso de que necesitara apoyo adicional. Nuestro objetivo siempre es ayudar a nuestros clientes a mantenerse informados sobre las opciones disponibles para evitar interrupciones del servicio cuando sea posible. Si tiene alguna pregunta adicional o desea revisar nuevamente su cuenta, con gusto podemos ayudarle. Por favor, comuníquese con nuestro equipo de Atención al Cliente al 888-963-9363.

Estamos en verano en los 90 grados y no les importa que tengas niños en casa te la cortan aún les pidas un día para no cortarla y nada no te dan un día NO RECOMIENDO

Response: Gracias por sus comentarios. Entendemos lo estresante que puede ser administrar el servicio de electricidad durante el verano, especialmente cuando hay niños en casa. Como proveedor de electricidad prepago, el servicio depende de mantener un saldo positivo en la cuenta. Ofrecemos varias opciones de asistencia interna para ayudar a nuestros clientes a evitar interrupciones del servicio. Al revisar su situación, observamos que se aplicó una protección de cuenta de 2 días el 29/07/2026, pero no se realizó el pago mínimo requerido. El pago mínimo necesario al día de hoy es de $52.19. También se aplicó previamente un Plan de Pago Diferido (Deferred Payment Plan) en su cuenta; sin embargo, todavía existe un saldo pendiente de $725.73 bajo ese acuerdo. Debido a que los planes de prepago cuentan con opciones limitadas de asistencia interna, las protecciones y arreglos de pago disponibles en la cuenta han sido utilizados en este momento. Con gusto podemos explicarle cómo funcionan estas opciones, revisar su cuenta en detalle y analizar cualquier alternativa disponible. Por favor, llámenos al 888-963-9363 y uno de nuestros representantes de Atención al Cliente estará encantado de ayudarle. Published on July 31, 2026
