Response: Thank you for taking the time to reach about this important matter, Mark. We understand how vital it is for our customers to make payments to their account balances, as well as to be able to receive assistance for any account issues when they need it. Customers may experience payment issues when inputting incorrect card information. Please make sure that the card number, expiration, CVV, and billing address associated with the card are inputted correctly. If there are five or more declined payment attempts made within a 24-hour time period, our system will put a payment lock on your account for a full 24-hours. You can either use the MoneyGram service to make a payment by using our receive code 14715, or waiting until the lock lifts to try again. While our live representatives are only available Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5PM, we do offer after-hour email support during these time frames: 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 Pm on Saturday 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Sunday If you have any further questions, please contact us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on April 15, 2025

DONT DO IT.. as a senior citizen on a fixed income my average light bill on a weekly basis is $120. That means I play close to $500 a month for service with this company. I do not suggest anyone to get involved with this company unless you approved of being ripped off… senior citizen, should have rights and should not be treated like this. I do not advise anybody to ever do business with this fraudulent company.

Response: Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on this issue, Kenneth. We understand you may have some concerns with your electricity billing and the overall charges you have received, and Payless Power knows that understanding your billing is vital to you. Please keep in mind that Payless Power charges customers based on the amount of electricity you consume, and your home seems to be consuming a high amount of electricity every day. We always recommend that customers review their billing via the My Account Portal at paylesspower.com You can also utilize the smartmetertexas.com website, which will break your consumption down into 15-minute intervals so you can see when you consume the most amount of electricity. Since your home appears to be small and older, we would recommend you or any potential landlord to hire an electrician. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on March 24, 2025

Response: Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback on this important matter, Amy. Payless Power can see you are experiencing issues with account Switch Holds and the Early Termination Fee. We understand that addressing these concerns is important for you and your services. Customers will have a Switch Hold placed on their meter if they agree to enter into a Deferred Payment Plan with Payless Power. This Switch Hold is advised to the customer when the Deferred Payment Plan is initially set up. You can remove the Switch Hold by calling us at 1-888-963-9363 and paying off your remaining Deferred Payment Plan balance with a live representative. Our 6 and 12-month plans have an Early Termination Fee of $99 should your services end before that term is up. This information can be reviewed via the My Account Portal at paylesspower.com on the Electricity Facts Label document. Finally, Payless Power charges customers based on the amount of electricity you consume, and the amount you are billed for is included with the daily billing notification texts that we send each morning. Your billing can also be reviewed on the My Account Portal at paylesspower.com If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on March 17, 2025

Doesn’t allow assistance with paying bill payment arrangements can never be made then to switch service you have to pay $100 fee and that’s insane when you being ripped off
Amiyah D. in Frisco
Published on March 11, 2025
Response: Thank you for taking the time to contact us about this matter, Amiya. We understand that this is an important matter, especially if you are seeking assistance with your services. Payless Power offers two Payment Assistance options for its customers should they need additional time: a Same Day Account Protection, and a Deferred Payment Plan. Keep in mind that if you have used the options previously while your balance is negative, you will not be eligible for them again if your balance remains negative. If this is the case, a payment will need to be made to avoid disconnection or to initiate a reconnection. Our 6-month and 12-month plans all include a $99 Early Termination Fee should your contract be broken before the term is up. The only way to waive this fee is if you advise us that you are moving.
