Very disappointed that they shut my electric off. When I was in the middle of paying my bill, horrible service
Response: Hello Cynthia, and thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We know being disconnected is stressful, and we want to help you avoid this situation again. Payless Power informs customers of their balances every day in the morning, as well as urgent messaging should their balances be low or even negative. From here, customers will have until 12pn (noon) to make a payment to the account that will bring it to at least $20 positive, or request assistance for their balance (either with an Account Protection until 8pm that same day, or the owed balance being deferred with a deferred payment plan). If you have any concerns or further questions, please reach out to us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on January 16, 2025

I don’t like the fact that I am and have been charged even when my power is not being used. For example during the power outage. I have never been reimbursed for the charges during the power outage from the hurricane Beryl.
Response: Hello Angela, thanks for reaching out to us about this issue. We understand how it can be concerning when you see any form of billing while power is unavailable or otherwise disconnected. Please keep in mind that we bill 2 days in arrears, meaning billing you receive today is from usage used about two days prior, so you will receive your billing, even if your services. This also applies to any charges associated with your current plan, any non-recurring fees, and deferred payment plan installments should a customer have one set up. In regards to your outages during the Beryl storm, Centerpoint energy (your transmission and distribution provider) will charge estimates when a meter is knocked out of power like that, and said estimates will be adjusted and credited back at the end of the following billing cycle. Your account shows that this was indeed the case, as your account shows a credit applied on 8/20/2024. We will have a supervisor reach out to you to further discuss this matter Published on January 16, 2025

It’s good but for some reason I can’t switch my account to monthly payments if I want to for some reasons they won’t let me I don’t know why when I have a account with them
Response: Hello Lionnika, we appreciate you for reaching out to us about this. We understand your desire for plan that bills monthly (or, a post-paid plan). At this time, we do not have any open enrollments for new post-paid plans, but are actively working to bring this option to our customers, aiming for a time frame of within the next 60 days. When this option is available, we will be happy to help you! Published on January 16, 2025

Y’all suck -70 cents and I was off by noon
Response: Hello Robinlynn, thank you for contacting us. We understand that having your services disconnected can be stressful, and we want to make sure that we prevent this situation from happening again. If an account is below zero dollars (that is, negative in balance), Payless Power will automatically send a service order to disconnect services by 12pm noon. This can be avoided by processing a payment to bring your balance to at least a minimum balance of $20 before 12pm, or requesting an account protection for your account before 12pm, with said account protection extending you until 8pm that same day. We also offer deferred payment plans, which can be requested before 12pm noon to prevent a disconnection. For further inquiries about your services, you can call us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on January 16, 2025
