Sarisa (30136453) provided the worst form of customer service I have experienced with your company. To display displeasure on the call by huffing on the phone after hearing my “concern” or “complaint”. Then to not transfer me without reading THE MUST DO script in fear of being “dinged” rather than de-escalating the call by just LISTENING to the customers request. She needs more training and so does Daniel (32325), escalation sup, for understanding what quality assurance means and is for. Sure it’s part for employees but mainly for the CUSTOMER. Please listen to the call.
Response: Mr. Lazano- As mentioned on your previous review in which you complimented Nocole, we will also review this call for coaching opportunities. Published on September 29, 2023
Nicole’s customer service should be the standard. She was courteous and extremely thorough throughout the call. She provided all the necessary information I requested. She deserves some sort of KUDOS as she represents the company with integrity. I cannot say that for the previous representative who showed displeasure in taking my call. Nicole is an awesome rep!
Response: Mr Lozano- Thank you so much for the kind words about Nicole . She is an amazing representative for our company. We will look into your previous call and review it for coaching opportunities as well. Published on September 22, 2023
Do not recommend!! Too quick to put a switch hold very expensive and will not let you pay your own amount online wait is too long !!!! And will immediately place a switch hold and who pays only a $1 on a $160 payment plan I want out toooo much money !!!!!
Response: Ms Washington- Your comments show that you are frustrated because you cannot switch due to a switch-hold and you also feel that the service is too expensive and the wait to speak to an agent is too long. I am not able to pinpoint your account because there are multiple accounts with your same name and the email you listed on this complaint does not match any account in our system. This has been a tough summer for all Texas residents… it was the 3 hottest on record. That resulted in record usage across the state as homes struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature under the unrelenting heat. As a result, many customer’s needed assistance in keeping their power on and a deferred payment plan was the best option that helped countless Payless Power customers ( it sounds like you are included). Please note that if a customer agrees to a deferred payment plan, a switch-hold is applied immediately. This is not contingent on the amount of your installments. We do usually deduct your DPP installments at a rate of $1.00 per day because it helps customers with their cash flow. This would mean that if you have a DPP for $40 then a switch-hold would be in place for at least 40 days but you do have the option of paying it off early with no penalty. All you have to is notify us. Usually that is not an inconvenience as the average wait time is only around a minute, however on days in which long heat advisory expires, you may experience long wait times as thousands of customers are trying to call in at the same time. We are working on launching enhanced 24 hour automated options later this year. If you have further questions about the account or the switch-hold/DPP please call us at 888 963 9363 or email us via your payless Power customer Portal. Published on September 19, 2023
SOOOOO EXPENSIVE!!!! I’m paying for a two bedroom apt more than my sisters 4bedroom house w a pool. Do not recommend!!! Changing companies next week finally!!!
Response: Savannah- Your comments state that you are unsatisfied with the service because of the cost and you sister pays less for a 4 bedroom house with a pool. Everyone felt the impact of the summer heatwave and that sounds like an amazing deal but there are some ways that you can save money at Payless Power. The main thing would be to renewal at a fixed rate. You have been on a variable rate plan since your original contract expired early this year. By renewing you can lock in a low fixed rate . Call us at 888 963 9363 for more details. Published on September 19, 2023

See why our power customers say we're the best electricity provider in Texas!
