It’s not a really good company because the rate is so high but it’s good in a way that if you have only $20 you can add $20 towards your bill whenever you can before the time runs out but I wish it was where you can go on the app and if you need an extension for couple days that it would give you that extension but that doesn’t give you an extension until you run out of money where it’s going to be negative like right now at this current moment I have four days left on my bill and I don’t get paid until the 15th so now I got a search around and ask people for money to pay my bill to extend it out until the 15th but it’s a good company and it isn’t I’m not going to give it a 5-star rating because I don’t believe it it is a 5-star rating and if you notice y’all haven’t had a comment since 2017 so that’s been 4 years
Response: Ms Powell- You have stated that you feel the rates are high but you also would like the ability to be able to get an extension through your pay day through the website. It’s easy to understand that maintaining a positive balance can be stressful. What many of our customers find is that our rates are actually in alignment with most providers . We also do not charge fees that most providers tack on such as disconnection fees, reconnection fees, late fees, payment fees, or assistance fees. We do offer same day account protections on the day your balance falls below $0.00. If you need longer … we have deferred payment plans in which we will place a credit on your account and then allow you to replay it at a rate of $1.00 per day. This is a great option to assist with getting an extra couple of days until a check comes in etc. and is available through you MyAccount Portal or through our automated phone system. Finally… we are not sure why you aren’t seeing our review comments. We get dozens of review from customer every day. Please trying clearing the internet cache on your device and see if the comments become visible at that point. Of course you can always call us at 888 963 9363 for any questions or assistance.

For the first month I put $75 to join it lasted me not even a whole month . Ever since then I put $20 everyday just to wake up i am negative or $5 left and remind you I do not use that much electricity!! I am very upset I spend like almost $200 with this I am not saving at all.
Response: Ms Reyes- You are stating that your charges have increased drastically and now you are having to put $20 on the account everyday just to maintain positive balance. Surprise increases in your charges are not a good thing. They can destroy your budget and I know from personal experience how difficult that can be so I can totally understand your comments . I have looked at your account and I think I know what’s going on. Recently your usage spiked up from 1/1/21 to 1/3/21 It also looks like You have had some major increases in December even on days where the high temperatures were pretty mild. The lows on those days were all in the low 40s high 30s though . When I looking at the 15 minute increment usage for each day I see a pattern. Your usage peaks over night … reduces around lunchtime and jumps back up around 8:00 PM. This seems to correspond with the weather cooling down and warming up so you may have a heater issue . If you log onto your Payless Power online portal the main page has a graph that shows your daily usage along with the daily high and low temperatures in your area. This is intended to help you understand the impact of your AC/Heater in regards to your electoral consumption. Along with the daily text invoices, these are your most important tools to manage your usage and charges. Per-paid service is designed to get your attention when your usage spikes so that you can make changes in order to stay with in budget. The silver lining here is that is working so you now have a chance to control your usage AND your charges. Call us at 888 963 9363 and we can advise how to register at www.smartmetertexas.com so you can view the 15 minute data that I referenced. I would also encourage you to contact your landlord to have them check the Freon gas in your central air unit. This or another issue with your unit may be a contributor to these higher charges during cooler weather. Published on January 06, 2021

This is getting to be stupid. I’m being charged for electricity that I’m not even using. My electricity has been off going on a month now. And I’m -$19.00. How am I negative when I’m not even using anything.
Response: Jody, Based on your comments you are confused as to why your balance continues to increase even though your power is off. Its not a good thing to be frustrated and confused about your billing and we understand how that might be confusing. We can clarify this for you though. Previously you requested a deferred payment plan. Under this plan we advanced a credit for you and set up a weekly payment schedule. The jumps in your owed balance are a result of those installments coming due. You can confirm this by logging into your MyAccount Portal… your itemized daily charges are visible and you can make a payment to settle the account right there. If you wish to maintain or close your account you can also call us at 888 963 9363 so we can help you take of this. Published on October 02, 2020
