Payless pay as you go I would not recommend I have tried to to get my balance of 74.00 refunded since I no longer have them they told me I signed a one year contract come on now there is no contract in pay as you go and Payless power clearly said that on the home screen pay as you go vs contract co. This will not be the last they hear from me

If I could give zero stars, I would I called the place and they asked for my name my birthday, and then asked me if I needed a breathing machine or had any chronic conditions, and because I have to take my nebulizer a couple times a day. I was told that they could not provide me service. I told her she was discriminating against me and told her to never mind and hung up on her. All of a sudden I got 4 text messages and 2 emails trying to get me to sign on with them probably to cover their ass. I believe it is against the law, and I could be wrong, since I have several health conditions which require me to have power, all I need is my power on in a town where I didn’t know where else to go to turn on power. It’s not like I needed a prepaid program at all, I have excellent credit and with any other company I have a zero dollar deposit. I believe, though, that it is illegal to discriminate against anyone over any disability. I don’t think it’s right that they couldn’t turn my power on just because of my disability. In fact, that is the first time that I hadn’t been offered a discount for a disability, if any discount were offered, which is what I thought she was getting at, instead, I was baited into answering a question that was really my choice to answer. So maybe by me saying my disability, it gives them the right to refuse me service. I’m not sure on that, I think I might ask the lawyer, though, there’s any lawyers out there that wanna comment on this, though, please comment. This might be a great service for some people that might have bad credit which is wonderful for them to do for those people but to discriminate against somebody just because they have problems does not mean that they can refuse them service I will never ever use this company and I can’t seem to find a customer service area that will let me actually talk to somebody to complain about this without setting an account up since I’m not a customer I’m not allowed to comment so I thought this is my best chance at least I can warn other people don’t answer there questions you don’t have to answer that one you do have the right to your privacy. I apologize for any mistakes in this, my arms don’t work very well, so I have to use the voice on my phone or computer.

Response: Stacye, Thank you for commenting. Payless Power does not discriminate against any customer or applicant for service. State regulations prohibit customers certified as critical care or chronic care patients from using prepaid service due to frequent possibility of disconnections with little notice. This is the regulation PUCT substantive rule 25.498"k" as shown on the link https://www.puc.texas.gov/agency/rulesnlaws/subrules/electric/25.498/25.498.pdf. We will be launching Postpaid services in the year 2019 and we will be more than happy to provide you service then. Published on November 30, 2018

This a free site operated by the State that shows you how much energy you home uses in increments from 15 minutes to a month.

The rates for our actual company before was about 300 dollars a month, with this company my bill is about 560 a month now, this company robs its customers, and I don’t recommend anyone choose paylesspower for their family electric provider. And when we call their frustration level is almost as high as theirs, if I could rate no stars I would. And EVERYONE I know including social media will know about this trash company. Thanks for nothing, james T
