Read reviews from Payless Power customers
On August 11, I was charged $14 for 132 kwh. On August 19, I was charged $31 for 134 kwh. Everyday since August 19, , Ive been charged more than double for the same amount of KWH, used any day before Aug 19. I would really like someone with Payless Power to respond to my emails, and fix this. Yesterday $40 Auto pay was pulled. Today, I get a notification that my balance is $13. $27 for electricity for 1 day. Tomarrow, our credits are depleted, and we will be without electricity, because I have gone broke because of all the insane charges, and no one will respond!

We have much less expensive offers available if you renew your contract. A supervisor will try to reach you again today.

Response: Mr Montemayor - Prepaid service can be challenging when you are struggling to keep up with your charges and its very easy to think that “this company never helps me” when in fact we help frequently… including just yesterday. I will have a supervisor call you to discuss your options. Published on September 13, 2022

Response: Mr. Grady- Your comments state that you are unhappy with the service and are looking for another provider. I was able to pull up you account and see that you called in on Saturday because you had made a cash payment that was below the minimum to trigger a reconnection of your service. Please note that a disconnection order had been sent an hour prior to the point your payment had posted and to trigger a reconnection you must get your balance to at least $20.00 positive. These requests are all handled automatically so if the reconnection threshold is not met then the system does not generate the order. I do see that when you made the additional payment the following morning, the reconnection order was generated and your service restored in less than 1 hour. Published on September 12, 2022

Response: Ms Wright- You review states that the service is difficult to use because the payment system would not accept the amount you wanted to pay and instead asked for more. The service can be surprising for some new customers who are not completely familiar with the terms of service. But hopefully, once you understand the basics you will find it convenient and easy to use. The automated system will always inform you of the minimum payment required but there are 3 basic rules to consider. The first is that the smallest payment the system will ever accept is $20.00. The second is that if your account balance is negative with the power on or disconnected, then you must pay at least $20 + the negative balance. This is because as a pre-paid service you must have funds on the account for future service. Please call us with any other questions you may have about how the service works.

Response: Ms Gasaway- You review states that even though you’ve been with Payless Power for 5 years you wish you could switch because the Company will not work you and Payless Power costs more than a month to month provider even though we do not charge deposits. I’ve reviewed your account and definitely understand why you would be frustrated. You have been our customer for a long time and we thank you for that. We have done our best to support your needs over the years and helped you get through some major challenges. We do offer more assistance options than about any other electric provider around but unfortunately this options are not limitless Call us at 888 963 9363 for information regarding external assistance with your bill.
