My account was created 01-08-19 and service turned on 01-15-19 for a different unit than what I input at the time of account creation; I live in building 5, the account was opened for a unit in building 8. This caused another tenant’s power to be switched to Payless w/o her knowledge. Payless wants me to create a new account for my correct unit and put down another up-front payment when I’ve paid $60 in one week’s time, since 01-14-19. Available funds will not be transferred to my “new account” until the existing account has been closed, at which time it will take another 1-2 weeks for the remaining funds to redistributed. This really means the available funds will likely be depleted by the time they transfer the money to my new account, so I’ve paid for electricity for a unit I don’t even live in without a refund. I now run the risk of losing power and customer service is refusing to transfer all currently available funds on the existing account blaming me for the mistake. Terrible customer service; absolutely awful way of attempting to keep customers.
Response: Hello. Thank you for choosing Payless Power. We apologize for any confusion. While we will indeed need you to set a new account with a new payment to start, you will not be required to pay for service at the other apartment. Those funds will simply be frozen until the process of switching back the service is complete. This generally takes 7 to 10 days but can take less or sometimes longer. You may receive texts through this process showing a declining balance but once the service is switched back your balance should be restored and your funds can be transferred at that point. If the original provider does not agree to accept the full charges you may be responsible for some charges but this is rarely over the equivalent of a day’s wroth of usage. These protocols are based a required State policies but in most cases the biggest impact to a customer is that their money is frozen for a few days. A supervisor will call you to discuss.

This company is very high… they charge fees for everything… the cx service reps are so uncaring and also ignorant.. they offer no help and will not go above and beyond for their cx… this is the worst electrical company I’ve ever been with… way too expensive to be prepaid… Horrible company I hate it…
