Payless Power is robbing people blind. How am I using more kWh when I’m not at home versus when I am.
Response: Angela thank you for taking the time to share your concern. We understand how confusing and concerning it can be to see higher kWh usage when you’re not at home, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Energy usage doesn’t always stop when a home is unoccupied. Items such as heating or cooling systems maintaining temperature, refrigerators, water heaters, internet equipment, and other always‑running devices can continue to use power throughout the day. Changes in outdoor temperatures can also cause systems to run more often than expected. We acknowledge your concern and want to make sure you have clear, accurate information about your account. Our team would be glad to review your meter data and usage history with you, explain what’s contributing to the readings, and answer any questions you may have. Please reach out to our customer care team directly at 888-963-9363 so we can work together on this. We’re here to help you better understand your energy use and explore ways to manage it moving forward. Published on April 20, 2026

I am done with this company. I am an educator so I get very busy and side tracked. While working the balance went negative and I paid ASAP. That was at 4pm. A reconnect order was sent out and it was never reconnected. Now, I am getting ready for work in the dark and my food is ruined. It’s been overnight and nothing. Also, they drain you… how are my lights out but I’m being charged currently. I would not recommend. It’s 7:30 am and I still have to wait until 9 to speak to someone. I liked them at first but I’m ending my service.
Response: Hi Joyce, thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how challenging this situation was, especially with your responsibilities as an educator and the need for dependable service early in the morning. Based on what you described, your payment was made promptly and a reconnect order was created, but service was not restored as expected. Being without power overnight, dealing with food loss, and having to prepare for work in the dark is a serious disruption. The concern about ongoing charges while the service was out is also something that clearly needs to be reviewed. Our next step is to make sure your service is restored and to review the reconnect order and billing activity to confirm everything is accurate. A customer care specialist can check the timing of the reconnection, address any applicable adjustments, and explain what occurred so this can be avoided in the future. Please reach out to us directly with your account details or contact customer care once our lines open. We want the opportunity to correct this and restore the level of service you previously appreciated. Published on April 07, 2026

I hear your point about wanting better advertising to create more visibility, and that perspective is really valuable.

Your input truly makes a difference. Published on March 24, 2026
I have been charged 30 dollars extra the past few months because I pay the bill at noon or a little after. I’m disabled and I’m not sure why this is going on. I cannot keep paying these huge amounts when I’m not even disconnected. I’ve sent messages to Payless power but no reply. Social security told me to turn Payless into the BBB. I have not because there are times Payless has given me a pass. Please contact me .
Response: Jayne, thank you for sharing what’s been happening with your account. I hear your concern about the extra charges you’ve noticed recently, especially with the challenges you’re managing, and I understand how important it is for your billing to make sense and stay predictable. Your message makes it clear that you’ve been trying to get answers, and your patience in continuing to reach out means a lot. The pattern you’re describing sounds like something we can look into in detail so we can pinpoint exactly why those additional charges are appearing and make sure you’re not paying more than necessary. Our team can review your account activity, payment timing, and any system-generated fees to help resolve this. When you’re able, please contact our Customer Care Team at 1-888-963-9363, Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, so we can go over your account together and work toward the best possible solution. We’re ready to help you get this sorted out. Published on March 24, 2026
Worst experience either an energy company, i notified and tried to get helped since 5 days before of my payment that i was going to pay on a Monday. I was told to call on Monday in case my balance hit negative, and i mentioned that if is negative for Monday i was paying, because they weren’t accepting my card in that moment. No empanthy no humanity, just stealing the legal way 40% of my montlhy charge, when i did notify and asked for help and plans. This is unacceptable for a service company and is ridiculous the way this company does business. Stay away.
Response: Emilio, We understand your concern regarding the timing of your payment, the issues with your card, and the charges applied to your account despite reaching out in advance to discuss options.

Please contact us directly so we can take a closer look and provide clarity on your account. Published on March 17, 2026
