Heartbreaking Experience with Payless Power – Felt Talked Down To During a Hard Time All I needed was a little help, but instead, I felt completely ignored and belittled. Since December, I’ve been trying to notify Payless Power of my situation and terminate my service. I emailed the company multiple times, but I never received any response. Then, when I noticed I was still being charged for electricity that I wasn’t using (since I haven’t even been in the apartment since December 28th), I called the company for answers. The phone call started off with me hoping to finally understand why I was still being charged, but things quickly took a turn for the worse. The representative I spoke with made me feel completely dumb.

You’re overcharging for usage not used. I literally use space two heaters. Use a stove to cook and use a microwave a few times a day. There’s no way I’m using 8-10.00 a day. I barely use lights in my house as in and do not use any other items like fridge dryer or washer so where is the charge is actually coming from ?

I put money on here every 3 days like really
Response: Hi Keonia. We appreciate taking the time to let us know what you think, and are more than happy to assist you. We understand your concerns about billing may have you feeling stressed, especially if you're making frequent payments. Since our services are prepaid, we bill our customers on a daily basis based on their consumption. If you find yourself frequently making payments to the account, we recommend instead to make larger payments that cover more time. We provide customers with an average daily use estimate, and while it may not be an exact number, it's a good way to get an idea of your usage. For further assistance, you can reach out to us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on January 16, 2025
Your alerts are NOT accurate or time efficient. Twice this week I have had my electric shut off in the middle of my work from home job with no prior notice. The other day I got the alert about disconnect while I was laying in bed after having already dealt with it. Please fix your alert system

I sometimes forget to pay my account due to my busy schedule and Boom I get the disconnect message. Give ya boy a call for a quick recap. Any way I guess I wont sweat it, Poppa Trump says he will lower energy cost, and in the great words of Robert Denario ” Greg. Could you milk me?”
Response: Hello Maxwell, and thank you for your feedback! We understand the concerns you may have, especially if you want to avoid missing a payment. We recommend enrolling into auto-pay, so you can avoid any missed payments in the future, as well as waive the $4.95 payment processing fee.

Y’all are full of ****! Yesterday I had 4 days and I wake up this morning with 1. Every time electricity goes out you all knock my days down to one this is ridiculous and you all are a JOKE!
Response: Hello Shawanda and thank you for contacting us today about your issue. We understand how a jump in your 'days remaining' can be a cause for concern, and will be happy to assist. We want to make it clear that how many days remain on your account is estimated and not at all an exact number, much like a gas gauge. It will change depending on any fees applied to the account and your usage, which is impacted by things like colder weather. Your billing and usage can all be reviewed on the My Account Portal, and you can reach out to us for further assistance at 1-888-963-9363 Published on January 16, 2025

Rates are high.
Response: Hi Maegan, if you have concerns about with your current rates and billing, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-888-963-933 Published on January 16, 2025
Unfortunately, attempts to pay the bill were unsuccessful. The site does not let me log into my account because it thinks I am a fraud, a fraud in what?! I just want to pay my bill. The support service wants to talk to me until 5 pm, but how should I talk if I am at work at that time. The site is absolutely not finished and there is no customer focus. We will change the supplier.
Response: Thank you for reaching out to us about this matter, Kseniia. We understand that access to your My Account Portal is crucial to making payments to your account, and know how concerning receiving an alert for fraud may be. If you have not already, we recommend clearing the saved cache and cookie data under the privacy and security settings of your browser. Also keep in mind that we have representatives available to assist you from 9AM to 5PM, Monday through Friday, and can be contacted at 1-888-963-9363. Published on January 16, 2025
