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. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on March 11, 2025

Response: Payless Power appreciates you for taking the time to give us your feedback on this issue, Jesus. We see that you have concerns about you recent billing and charges, and we know that not understanding these things can cause frustration and stress. As you may know, Payless Power charges its customers based on the amount of electricity they use, and if shows that you consume more electricity, then your billing will be higher. We understand you may not do anything different, but the weather outside has gotten colder, especially in the past week. Colder weather forces your appliances to run harder than they normally would in normal weather, and this causes them to consume even more electricity. Your usage can always be reviewed by using the smartmetertexas.com website, which will break down your usage in 15-minute increments so you can carefully review when you use the most amount of electricity. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on February 25, 2025

They raised the prices when it get really good outside, I put $20 on my account which should give me 2 days, no I woke up today with 0 days remaining and I don’t have the money to put more on there so I’m going to get disconnected. Thanks a lot. This company is eating me alive.

Response: We appreciate you for taking the time to leave us your feedback on this matter. Payless Power understands how important it is for customers to understand their billing, and we know being disconnected can be stressful. While we understand you may have some concerns with your recent billing, we would like to clarify that our 6 and 12-month plans are at a fixed rate. That means that once you enroll into one of these plans, the price that we charge per kWh does not change. The only way that your rate may change is if your current plan expires, and you do not renew into a new plan. In that instance, customers are put into a variable rate plan. Payless Power charges customers based on the amount of electricity they end up using, with the amount used included in each daily billing notification. You can also access a breakdown of your billing on the My Account Portal at paylesspower.com If you have any further questions, please reach out to us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on February 25, 2025
