Payless Power Reviews
Read reviews from Payless Power customers
I wish i could give 0 stars. Customer service is horrible. No people skills at all. All they say is they’re sorry and they cant do anything. They don’t have their info straight. When did the rates change!?!?!?! I wasn’t notified. Funny they changed at summer time. Price gouging at it’s finest. Will be looking for a different provider if Payless Power doesn’t get they’re act together or provide good rates. Other companies have better deals.
Response: Jose - thank you for your comments. We are glad that you've taken time to share your thoughts. This is an important step in being able to provide the best service possible. Our records show that we haven't spoken to you in close to a month so please call us at 888-963-9363 and we can go over your charges in detail. We can also show you how to verify your usage. A feature we have added that you can take advantage is the Flex Pay discount. Maintain a positive balance of just $35 and we will reward you with a discount. The discount is presently 2.6 cents off per kilowatt hour, which is a 20% savings off of our standard rate! 20% savings plus giving yourself a cushion against disconnection by simply maintaining a $35 balance is a win/win! Call us at 888-963-9363 for more details.
I received horrific service from XXXXXX on 06/14/2017. She needs customer service training. Gave one star, because that’s the minimum allowed.
Response: Charlotte, thank you for your comments. We take this type of feedback very seriously and will review the call for any improvement opportunities.
I am so mad at this company. Keep getting charged 8 plus dollars a day and my a/c is not even on !!! They just take a guess on how much you use. I switched to pay less not to pay more. Jesus Christ I am on disability and can not afford this. Customer service is really bad as well. I think it is time to contact my attorney. Last time I checked it was against the law to RIP PEOPLE OFF !!

Call us at 888-963-9363 if you have any questions about the document.
This company is a joke. I’m looking to switch. I feel like I’m getting robbed. I’m gone a lot out of state and some days my daily charge is higher than when I’m home. How in the hell is possible when I live by myself and I’m not home for a week??? Why is it high and I’m not even home… Robbery at it’s finest
Response: Kenneth - thank you for sharing your experience. We are regretful its not been a positive one. As a retail electric provider we don't perform your meter reads but we can show you how you can confirm your reads against what we bill you for. You never have to wonder if you are being billed fairly or accurately. Just call us at 888-963-9363 and we can review your charges with you.
Worst customer service. The only thing that i like about this company is the send you an update of power usage. But at the same time they also show how much you’re getting ripped off.
Response: Jesus - thank you for reaching out. We are always very concerned if one of our customer's does not have a clear understanding of their billing. This can sometimes result in a customer feeling that they are not being charged fairly. We can clear this up though so please call us at 888-963-9363 so we can go over your account with you.
This company starts off good, but after a couple of months the rates become ridiculously too high! You are actually paying more money on prepaid acct, then on another company with month to mther. A company that charges (44 kwh) a day, the devil is a lie. Also in order to get discounted rate u have to pay at least $35. So you at least paying $150 or more a month depending! But I wouldn’t recommend this company to no one. Go with a month to month company, My opinion! Too much to try an keep up with threw the month. Especially when you have other bills to worry about. Sometimes you may not have money to put on the acct in the middle of the month so u end up in the neg really fast especially when there (kwh) steadly raising

We can also show you a way to double check what you are being billed for against your actual meter readings, Call us at 888-963-9363 and we can review everything with you.
Do not give this company your business, They over charge u make fake meter reading and then will not rectify the charges.. i was away from home for a month and my meter reading mysteriously jumped from 9 kw a day to 29-35 a day so i get back home to find everything just the way i had left it, nothing plugged in, a/c turned up to 80°. When i talked to the customer service rep all i got was the run around about i can register my meter online so i can follow my power usage.. that doesn’t help the fact that they are inputting false reading. She then informed me that they cannot and will not rectify the readings.. Total rip off company, i guess since they are a prepaid company they figure they already have ur money they don’t have to give quality service. Today i will be changing service providers.. Very dissatisfied with payless power as a whole..

Payless Power does not estimate or enter false readings but if you would like to contact Customer Care at 888-963-9363 we can go everything with you. We would love to hear from you.
I pay about 50 to 60 dollars a week with this company, be care with this company!!! Needless to say, I’m changing companies next month. I’ve liked this page and answered the quiz tests and never one time did o get the $100.00. So I started talking to friends that has this company, all said this a waste of time. So don’t waste you time!!!

I was satisfied with my service until they charged me $251.92 “they said they under charged me from march to april, an that oncor comes out an does an estimated meter reading for the month” but i thought it was a prepaid service i kept $35 an up in my account every week..never knew i get a reading every month. I have lost a lot.” then 2 oncor workers come to my house to turn my power off an say “we just come out to make sure the meter is running we have nothing to do with reading or payments”
